Free Role Reversal Mini Workshop in Burghfied
 Wednesday, June 05, 2013
Over the years, dancers have asked us what is the best thing they can do to improve their dancing and it really is to learn how to dance your partner’s role.

We all probably have had a go at swapping roles at a party night for a laugh but this will be concentrated on learning the other role specifically to improve your dancing.

Ladies when dancing the lead you can appreciate how important it is for your follower to follow and not lead – it is almost impossible to have a good dance whilst wrestling over the lead.

Men when following you can appreciate how important it is to receive a good lead from your partner instead of guessing where you are meant to be going. Go on sign up, it’s going to be serious fun!

Free workshop but please sign up for gender balancing (excuse the pun!) You just pay if you wish to stay onto the main classes afterwards. Sign up on any jive night, email us or comment below.
