Upcoming Workshops
Hello all,
I have been asked to teach a few workshops this summer. I will be teaching at the next Mega Madness workshop event put on by IE MECDA at the end of September, and I am hoping to squeeze a few more in during the months of June, July, and August.
My question for you is...what topics would you like to see covered? Is there a particular skill, technique, topic, or choreography you would like to get a liitle deeper understanding on? The summer workshops would be 1.5-2 hours in duration. The September MECDA workshop will be 45 minutes as it is part of a day long workshop series.
Thanks for the input and look for the upcoming poll on The Gypsy Chronicles blog. The top suggestions will go up for a vote.
Stay tuned!!!
Thanks! Love & Shimmies,
Jennifer
