Driver's Manual:
Critical Techniques for Authentic Lead and Follow
In comparing dance to driving, imagine the follower as the car and the leader as the driver. Most dancers spend years learning about all the neat roadtrips they can go with their car (patterns), but few have ever learned how to actually drive the car! If you're new to dancing, this video will give you the essential skills you need to navigate new roadmaps. If you're an experienced but frustrated dancer, this video will explain how to make getting to destination more exciting! $40 + shipping
