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.
