FAQ
Do I need a partner?
Nope, we'll be rotating as usual.
How physically demanding will it be?
We'll make sure you get a good warmup, and get adequate rest in between reps. We'll be alternating between dip skills and ride skills o you won't get too fatigued or dizzy.
I'm a smaller leader. Will I be able to do it?
Yep! For reference, these are all dips that Tessa is able to lead herself on most small or medium-sized followers. We will be teaching everyone how to set limits and safely survive partners who are overly ambitious.
I'm a relatively new dancer. Does that matter?
Nope, doesn't matter, as long as you are comfortable and consistent with your basics PLUS the standard pre-requisite patterns mentioned above.
