"Think Less. Dance More."
I walked in knowing absolutely nothing and walked out feeling like I'd been dancing for months. Yassy & Jacki have this incredible ability to make the complex feel completely natural.
The workshop was 2 hours of pure fire. I've taken classes elsewhere but the level of personalised attention and technique breakdown here is genuinely on another level.
My partner and I did private lessons before our wedding. We went from two left feet to stealing the show at our reception. Can't recommend them enough.
We're putting the 22nd/23rd August weekend in your hands — tell us on Facebook what workshop you'd love us to run. The most popular style wins!
