Women Are Angels

This short lesson introduces one of Anthony and Rose’s most popular teaching metaphors — and one that will instantly make your turns cleaner, safer, and easier to follow. “Women Are Angels” isn’t just a funny title — it’s the foundation for one of the most useful concepts in partner dancing: the halo.
