What You'll Gain

Expand What You Can Do on the Dance Floor

New positions mean new possibilities. Sweetheart and shadow open up different ways to move together, giving you more options when you're out dancing to live music or just switching things up for fun.

Deepen Your Understanding (Without Overthinking It)

You'll start seeing how positions connect, how moves flow into each other, and why certain transitions work. It's not about mastering everything—it's about building a fuller picture of how this dance works.

Keep It Fresh and Fun

More moves in your repertoire means you won't get bored dancing the same patterns all night. You'll have variety to play with, whether the band's playing fast or slow.
