Essential Dips & Drops

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.

Date Sunday, 1 September 2024
Time 3:00 PM - 6:00 PM
Where Avonhead School (map below)
Duration 3 hours

Please aim to arrive in good time to warm up and get ready. Attendance at the Workshop gives you free entry to a Tea Dance if one is held afterwards.

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
