Convinced that you have 2-left feet and that dancing is not meant for you? Or someone you know? But still…it would be helpful to know a few steps. This workshop is easy and only one session. Geared to beginners and guided by a dance champion. You’ll have basic patterns plus a couple of turns by the end of the night. More than enough to provide a full night of dancing. Couples only please.
