\"DSC00787\"<\/a>I believe there are 2 ways to learn to dance:<\/h1>\n<\/header>\n
\n
    \n
  1. We can fill our brains with information in the hope that the more we have, the better our dancing will become.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    Or<\/strong><\/p>\n

      \n
    1. We can focus on the little things that make a big difference, using our time effectively and seeing more rewarding results.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

      My personal choice is the latter, which is where the idea for \u2018Brush Up\u2019 came from.<\/p>\n

      Due to life\u2019s busy nature, not all of us can come to class regularly. In between times we have the potential to develop bad habits; symptoms include- tense limbs, loss of bounce or, dare I say it\u2026 sloppy triple steps, eek!<\/p>\n

      A triple step can cause problems in leading\u00a0AND<\/strong>\u00a0following. If they\u2019re not well articulated, your partner won\u2019t be able to tell what you\u2019re leading or, will have a harder job trying to lead you.<\/p>\n

      We don\u2019t necessarily know if our basic steps are neat, precise and rhythmic; so we need someone to come and tidy them up for us.<\/p>\n

      \u2018Brush Up\u2019 workshops<\/a>\u00a0are like a private lesson shared by a small group. As your teachers, this gives us time to look at your dancing, dance with you and provide tailored advice.<\/p>\n

      As a dancer it\u2019s an opportunity to ask the questions you\u2019ve never asked in class. Helping you to identify simple things that could have a huge impact on your dancing.<\/p>\n

      So, even if you think triple steps are something you\u2019ve done before, brushing up your basics can help build strong foundations for your dancing to grow on.<\/p>\n

      Go on, brush up your dancing skills!<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
