Ladies, if you've been dancing zydeco for while, and want to add more sultry style, intricate footwork and alternative timing to your dancing, then this class is for you. Emulate my style or not, but let's expand the possibilities for your own style! Give yourself some room to play!

Guys, while the ladies are practicing their sexy moves, you'll be practicing the consistency of your steps, your leads, and the timing of your transitions. Valuable, valuable practice time with gentle feedback.

If you have questions email Erin at:

Replace the _AT_ with @. This is to keep Erin from getting spam...
