Essential Dips & Drops

Workshops

This workshop is highly recommended for learning the correct and safe technique giving you greater skill and confidence with dips and drops. It's a very popular workshop and once you've done it you can repeat it in the same role (i.e. lead or follow) for only 1 credit.

Dips and drops can be fun but are often underestimated in terms of the detail. We are NZ's most experienced teachers of these kinds of moves.

Who Is This For?

  • Beginners who have been attending the improvers review (if you are unsure please speak to one of our teachers)
  • Experienced dancers wishing to develop both roles (lead and follow)
  • Anyone aiming to become a Taxi dancer or Teacher

Bear in mind:

  • We may limit the number of couples but don't worry this workshop is usually held twice a year
  • You do not need a partner to book a place on this workshop as we aim to match up leads and follows

This is often described by dancers as the most useful workshop they ever attend and the one they repeat most often.
