💃BETTS CORRIGAN
Betts Corrigan, a trained dancer in ballet, modern ballet, and jazz, began dancing Brazilian Zouk in 2015 after many years of dancing Cuban, LA, and Cross Body Salsa. Betts endeavors to offer both followers and leaders alike, good, solid fundamental dance techniques, informed by her many years of training in classical ballet and these other genres. New to teaching Brazilian Zouk, she believes understanding these core techniques of alignment, contraction, and release, use of breath, centering, gravity and opposition is central to all dances and will take your dance to the next level. Betts is also adamant that followers should no longer be just a prop for the lead in the dance class, but rather, be fully guided, encouraged, and given confidence to really explore styling varieties to really develop these core principles in order to make their dance look and feel better.
