Description: In this workshop we will explore the basics of connection in partner dance. We will then integrate our knowledge of partnerwork into a dance lift sequence. The lifts will be kept fairly simple because our goal for this workshop isn’t to learn complex lifts but to apply basic dance skills to make our sequence more compelling and fun to watch.

Prerequisites: This workshop is for all levels. No experience or partner required.
