Designed not just for Ladies! Styling classes are all about how to look natural and effortless with your styling choices on the dance floor, without affecting the lead of your partner. Don’t know what to do with your arms while turning? Unsure about when and how to sway your hips, comb/toss your hair? Are you lost when your partner breaks away to do footwork during a dance? Messy footwork? Unsure what it means to use the floor? Come and get your questions answered in this class. Lucy will cover moves from beginner to advanced, focusing on using elevating your simple movements to add a touch of elegance and playfulness.
