Partners change every 2 songs.

In these Practice Sessions, we work all 3 Switch skills: Follow, Lead, Roletrades. We learn the interdependent proprioception that makes dancing Switch smooth and clear with consistency.Facilitators answer questions/sidecoach. Increased Spatial Awareness for Navigation is emphasized during Practice for better roletrades across styles. All dance with all: event is gender neutral, LGBT-inclusive, as we even up our 3 skillsets.We DJ Electronic Music that supports Fusion, Blues and Tango dancing: AltPop, R&B, ElectroTango, TripHop, Trap. This team-oriented training environment encourages 4Person Practice Teams. Get new ideas during brief Facilitated Show & Tell: Practice Partners show their Switch Rolestrades & Styling so we all exchange the wins of our Switch Dancing evolution.
