On Sunday 27 of July – very hot summer day, couples of A&L Team gathered at Leigh Ballroom in Eastleigh for the following Training day organised by Alex and Lisa. This time it was not just Latin-American Day. Alex and Lisa were very proud to invite for lectures and private lessons one of UK,s leading and upcoming coaches Mr. Benoit Drolet. Benoit did a very interesting lecture on Ballroom Dancing presenting classical aspects of Ballroom Dances alongside some liberal views on the subject.
The whole day started with fitness session in the morning(done outside on the field), combined with elements of Ballet and Jazz – so useful for all the dancers and finished with Latin-American workshop taught by Alex&Lisa who concentrated on perfomance values this time.
Despite the holiday season the studio was absolutely full of couples. Keep up the good work!!!
The dates of next Training Days will be put on the website in the nearest future…
