We started these lesson videos during Covid for our dancers who couldn't come to the lessons. Our focus has been for beginners.

We will conform with Roundalab standards as best as we can. If any of these lessons is in conflict from your local cuer, then listen to your instructor. But please get back to us so the video can be corrected.

Doing the videos involves a lot of mental prep work. And preparing the video to go on YouTube takes far longer than actually doing the taping. We get nothing out of it except satisfaction from the comments and emails we receive.  We will continue to do more as time allows.

Elaine & I sincerely want to thank all of you for your support :-)
