Dexter and Michelle taught a workshop this past weekend, and it was such a great event. We kicked it off with a House Party, of which I DJed the first couple of hours. The classes were great, and taking them as well as a private with Dexter jumped my dancing (or at least the way I think about my dancing) to the next level. I'm excited to start really working on the things that were brought to my attention. Much of it has to do with using my body fully when I dance, initiating every movement from my core and following through all of my movements.  I hope really working on these concepts will make my dancing much more powerful.
