CDN: What's That Dance? (Jacob Reding)

In this fun, interactive class, Jacob Reding answers the question every social dancer has asked at some point: “Wait… what dance are they doing right now?” Whether you're out at a bar or a social event, it’s easy to get confused when couples are out there mixing styles — and Jacob is here to clear it up. He kicks things off by breaking down the mystery of country swing versus two step — how they look similar, how they’re not, and how to tell which one is which just by watching. Then, once your head’s wrapped around that, Jacob jumps into showing you how to actually do them. This class touches on the differences between stationary versus progressive styles, how to read the music and movement, and why some moves look like a mash-up of both. He keeps the energy light, makes it super easy to follow, and throws in just enough playfulness to keep everyone laughing while they learn. If you’ve ever looked out on a dance floor and thought, “What exactly are they dancing?” — this class is your answer.
