"Int/Adv Framework & 'Cross-Over' Moves You Can Use in Both NC2S & Waltz" 

(a perfect prelude for the upcoming Tuesday series)

Take your dance to a whole new level with this workshop that focuses on lead/follow connection through rotation and energy transfer as applied to NC2S and Waltz (a little like our 1-3-5 workshop, but fucussing on just 2 dances and connection).  Gain a better understanding of how these two dances intersect, and how skills learned in one can be applied to the other.
