Here's your chance to learn some fancy moves that will help you stand out as an ADVANCED CONTRA DANCER. Let's face it, ladies love turns and twirls. It gives them a chance to show off their style (and their legs!).

Gents who can lead a great Balance & Swing will have ladies lining up to dance with them!

These Workshops were recorded live in Berkeley CA, with instruction by Rich Albanese and fiddling by Erik Hoffman.
