Expand your waltz toolbox with new twirls, new positions, new ways to think about improvising. This workshop will teach a handful of moves, with a focus on how to play with and adapt them into combinations, and always with an eye towards robust partner connections. Folks attending this workshop should be comfortable with basic rotary waltz and simple underarm turns.
