Tuesday is Mazurka lesson !
The long awaited class for this subtle mix of impro/tango/mazurka

What is could look like: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R6FteMBI5dc&t=107s

This is the first lesson, we will focus on the basic steps, communication with the dance partner and basics of impro.

Looking forward to see you Tuesday at 7pm, Stroud Green School ;)

Bal étoile
It was this Wednesday !

22/05/2022

We had such a great time this Tuesday. We were less than usual but that allowed us to practice even more and try new stuff.

Like this bo***ée in circle!
We could not film but some intense experimentations were going on too. See you on June 7th!
