In this new class, both leaders and followers will learn to develop their own variations, rhythms, combinations, and moves. We'll help you unleash your inner creativity so you can come up with new stuff to throw into your dancing all the time! You'll get better at improvising, thinking on the spot, and being more receptive to your partner and the music that you're dancing to.
