Leading and following is the essence of all partner dancing, a completely unspoken form of communication that conveys clear and powerful messages.  Learn the fine skill of leading and following in this workshop through easy exercises that will help you apply these skills to any partner dance that you do.  YOU WILL LOVE IT!  A partner is beneficial but not necessary.

Turning Technique will teach leaders how to lead every type of turn in all dances, and will teach followers to follow all types of turns. Dancers will also learn the skill of turning oneself so as to be a better partner. Our balance is best when we are lying down. It is challenged a bit more when we stand up. It is challenged more when we move. It is challenged the most when we turn. In this workshop you will learn skills that make your balance much better in general, and especially when you are turning.
