At the start, attendees will share the specific challenges they want help with, and the class will be built around solving those issues in real time. You can ask questions, get personalized feedback, and finally clear up things that may have been holding your dancing back. This is an exclusive, interactive session designed for VIP cruisers who want direct access, real answers, and lasting improvement.
