$75/person, partner requiredFinally, the class you’ve been waiting for all these years–partners will not rotate!
Join Tom and Debra for a three-week partnered workshop designed to help newer students straddle the divide between our beginner and intermediate sessions. This refresher is also great for those who’ve taken our beginner level but have been off the dance floor for a while and have forgotten everything they ever knew. Week 1 concentrates on six-count and eight-count Lindy Whip; Week 2 concentrates on the eight-count Circle and side-by-side Charleston; and Week 3 is an intro to the eight-count Hollywood-style Whip. Students must have taken at least one Gottaswing beginner session and a partner is required. We will not rotate partners.
