This workshop is part of our Masters Series classes that are designed to improve your lead and follow.
In West Coast Swing there is specific jobs that are part of the lead and specific jobs that are part of the follow. In this workshop we will define the jobs of both the lead and the follow. Frequently due to lack of knowledge and/or skills the jobs become confused. When one person does not due their job in this dance than the other person has to adjust by taking on their job or duties. When this happens the partnership looses it's cohesion and mistakes start coming in and these are mistakes that you can not work with. When each partner does their job than mistakes don't happen, rather new opportunities present themselves and you take your dancing up a notch or 2. Absolutely No Bronze level allowed, no exceptions!
