Village Rockers Introduction to 4 step Rock-n-Roll Videos
-
Our aim is to pass on our love of dancing. In our introductory course we aim to teach basic 4 step rock and roll moves in a way that will enable you to link them together and get up confidently on the dance floor. All the moves use the basic 4 step footwork and timing.
-
These videos are very detailed – take out of them what you need to get you on the dance floor – review them to improve techniques and to make your dancing more enjoyable.
