Come learn part of a simple, yet elegant contemporary Valentine dance!  It was created during pandemic isolation in 2020, then performed with my “non-dancer” husband for a sweet Valentine’s show in 2022.  We will begin with some dance technique exercises that will help prepare your brain & body to learn the movement sequence in the second half of the workshop.  We will probably learn about the first minute of the sequence.

This dance is intended for individuals, there is a duet that if the class gets to that point, you will be partnered with other attendees. But you are welcome and encouraged to join alone.

Here is a short clip of the sequence we will be learning!
