Solo Technique & Drills (7:15-8:15pm)
In this class, we will explore and drill topics that make your balance more consistent, your footwork more solid, your posture more graceful, and your moves more fluid and flowy. Solo Technique & Drills works on the most common and essential Brazilian Zouk fundamentals, covering foundational elements like weight transfers, torsion, balance, turns, and other related side topics. These techniques are the building blocks of our dance, and we'll get to play and learn with them in this class.
Note: this is a solo class - no partnerwork involved.
