Social Foxtrot

On Wednesday at 7pm we’re looking at Social Foxtrot

Everyone goes to a ton of functions in December, so this month we are going to focus on the Social Foxtrot. One of the best and easiest dances for just getting up on the floor wherever you happen to be dancing.

LATIN TECHNIQUE & STYLING WORKSHOP

The last time Maryna ran a Ladies Latin Workshop it was a big hit so we’re going to do it again! This time it’s open to everyone, so the gentlemen can get the benefit of her coaching as well.

On Saturday 22nd November and Saturday 6th December at 1pm Maryna will be running Latin Technique & Styling Workshops at Phoenix Dance Studio.

Each workshop is just $30 for one and a half hours of great dancing.

Over these two sessions you will develop your understanding and abilities in Rumba, Cha Cha Cha, Samba and Jive. You’ll engage your whole body with the dances, work the muscles and the brain and love it!

Since then she has competed and performed throughout Europe including silver in The World Dance Cup (Yalta,Ukraine)2013 and the IDF (International Dance Federation) World Championship finalist in 2013 (Nagykanizsa, Hungary)

If you’re lucky enough to have seen Maryna dance then I’m sure that you want to push your own latin dancing forward and will know that she’s just the lady to help you do that.
