Lead & Follow Workshop
Want to be everyone's favorite dance of the night? Want leads or follows to come and ask you to dance? Come and learn the skills on how to become a clear, smooth (soft) lead, and how to become a light, responsive follow.
This workshop will be geared more towards Salsa leading and following but the principles can be applied to most partner dances!
Come and learn from two of the best leads and follows! Here are some things that have been said about dancing with Carolina and Jamal.
"Jamal can make anyone look good, he can even make a broomstick dance."
