Elevate Your Partner Dancing: Leans, Dips, and Tricks Workshop with Jenna Sims and Social
Advertisement
This workshop is for partner dancers of all styles and experience levels. Whether you dance Salsa, Bachata, Kizomba, Swing, Ballroom, or Fusion, these techniques can be adapted to add creativity, expression, and spice up any dance repertoire.
Together, we'll explore the foundations of safe and comfortable leans, dips, and tricks while building the body mechanics, balance, and partner connection needed to execute them with confidence. You'll learn how to support and create movements that feel effortless, playful, and connected.
We'll also focus on trust, communication, and consent to create a safe and supportive environment where everyone can experiment, learn, and have fun. Expect plenty of laughs, creative exploration, and new ways to elevate your dancing.
No partner required. Comfortable clothing and dance shoes are recommended. Smiles are encouraged 😊
