Switch Dancing with Austin & Darcie
Who's leading and who's following? Learn the art of seamlessly swapping dance roles with your partner in the middle of a dance. This series will be progressive so don’t miss the first two weeks – we will focus on leading skills for followers and following skills for leaders. We will continue with learning to pass roles back and forth between us and keep the dance flowing. Come with solid skills in your primary role (i.e., you are mostly successful with your primary role while social dancing) and readiness to move beyond the basics in your opposite role.

>> What's a practicum and social dance?
We DJ music just like a regular social dance. You can come out and just dance like normal, or you can come planning to work on something: Ask for feedback, work on a move, play with variations, master a routine.
>> Have a specific question?
Experienced dancers and local teachers are available at practicum to help out with sticky spots.
>> Balboa? Shag? Solo? Learning swingouts?
Let the DJ know what you're working on if you have specific music requests!
This building is physically accessible to enter. If you have accessibility concerns, please contact PLS.
