Dance Workshops

Dance Workshops are valuable tools for enhancing your skill level and knowledge base! Workshops are focused and usually fairly intense for any given skill level. Some workshops are focused on general elements of technique, others look at figures, others introduce dances that aren’t commonly taught or danced socially!  They are open to Foot Notes Dance students as well as the general public.
