Marcelo Molina drilled the first class on approaches to a rock step, useful moves for the dance floor, as well as basic concepts for posture and walking. Our video of the week reviews the rock steps covered. In the second class he covered dance timing for the vals rhythms - a topic not often covered in classes by the masters. He is wiling to return to us at a time when he can also fit in some private lesson, as a number of people asked him about that. He always likes to get a group picture after a workshop:
