Going for the first time

Modern fusion events blend lead/follow styles — Brazilian Zouk, urban kiz, WCS fusion, liquid-lead. Most welcome solo dancers and rotate partners during lessons.

Lead and follow are roles, not genders. Ask before close embrace. Respect when someone asks for more or less connection.
