Essential Lifts and Baby Aerials
Ready to add some thrill and excitement to your dancing? Well we have just the ticket!
Only available about once a year, this introduction to lifts workshop is the ideal place to learn the fundamentals
of moves that involve a bit of lifting. This workshop is aimed at experienced intermediate dancers and above.
It's not about strength - it's all about technique. Helen, the instructor, has many years experience with more
advanced moves and how to make them accessible to us ordinary folk.
We shan't bombard you with too many moves, instead we'll teach you a few moves and help you to do them really well.
There's nothing like this kind of workshop to leave you feeling really proud and amazed of what you can achieve.
Matt's tip - go for it!! (plus you get the movies too)
The first half hour will be dedicated to proper warming up and preparation for the main part of the workshop.
In the last half hour, Helen will show you how to stretch and wind down to feel relaxed and comfortable.
The workshop is primarily rotational, but if you want to stay with a fixed partner then that is fine too;
please let the instructor know at the start of the workshop.
