Kenny Bell's class did a good job of breaking down the technique for the eight count basic, followed by a challenging pattern that will give us much to work on.
We will do so at the next class, which will NOT be in the studio - same address, but look for us in the back as the studio will be hosting a personal trainer certification class all weekend. Kenny will be back for another couple of classes on Nov. 16.  See Kenny's summary in This Weeks Video

Until later, Mary
