"How do I know what to do / what comes next?" Let's explore! This week we'll focus on different exits from Come Arounds, but dig into WHY some things "just make sense" more than others. 🤯

Did we mention Anthony Rampello (or, you may know him as GLBE Intermediate Shuffle finalist, and MO Bal Fast Feet 2026 champion) is joining us next week? 🤩

This week (tonight!) we're working on Come Arounds! Let's dig into how we change the angle - or even the direction of rotation - and how that affects the type of exit we use.

Next week, we have Kyle Girtz coming out from Dayton to work on grapevines, reverse toss outs, and back pivots!

---> Missed the bootcamp, but want to hop in? Those familiar with Pure Bal basics are welcome to brush up during the practice tonight to join for the leason. Or catch us again on Sept 29th.
