💃CLASS TOPIC💃

Smoothstepping - The Art of Gliding in Close Embrace -

by Mark Capenter
Mark Carpenter has toured Europe all summer teaching this style of blues-based Fusion that adds so much fluidity into your Fusion dance! This open level class will teach you how to glide across the floor in a close embrace position, where the two partners are connected more than just the hands. Be ready to flow with the music and your partner as one.
