We’ll play with elements like the “rock step” exploring different rhythms, shapes, and variations while keeping the connection, and we’ll look at how to use the moves we already know without thinking strictly in 6-counts or 8-counts, but instead flowing with the music. We’ll start with a short combo built around these ideas and then work on applying these concepts in our social dancing. | |
