Express Workshops will run similar to a round-robin. We’ll have 4 sets of teachers offering 4 different workshops. The attendees will be split up into 4 groups, and each group will work with a set of Rhythm Revellers teachers for 15 minutes before rotating through to the next teaching couple with a different class topic. If you’ve been to one of our teaching events before, you’ll know how great these sessions are. Our teachers are adept at teaching to a range of different experience levels so that you will get the most out of the workshops, no matter how long you’ve been dancing. Workshops are opt-in, with further detail on the topics and teachers posted to The Rhythm Revellers Instagram and Facebook Page soon. Giving: You will notice that we have the option for you to post a donation when purchasing your ticket. We invite you to give a bit extra to The Black Lindy Hoppers Fund if you can spare it.
