Chances are the very dancers you admire repeated classes many a time. To get the most value out of class repetition follow these tips:

1st time - focus on foot patterns, rhythms and functionality

3rd time - put the “cherry on top”! You will be comfortable with functionality and partnering, now is the time focus on styling, accenting and playing around with the character of the dance.
