Each session will start with a warm-up specially modified for cancan dancing, followed by some basics and variations of the traditional can-can. We’ll end each night with a proper cool down to keep your muscles happy into the next day.
The first session will review the drills and combinations we learned in Level 1 and Level 2A, and a refresher on a bit of history of the tres scandalous dance known as Le Cancan.
