Workshop Series

The Workshop Series differentiates between Fundamentals, Body Movement, and a Cardio Corner. Below you will find the latest video for each section for quick access. You can also access it by clicking on the respective section on the left. Fundamentals builds one (or various) workshops around one particular fundamental concepts and drills it.

Body Movement lessons feature techniques to train and exercise each body part in isolation. For those of you that want to work up a sweat, lose weight or use dance as a venting mechanism after a stressful day at work, the Cardio Corner classes each teach various step combinations and then drill them to music, first slow, then fast.
