Byrchall Class


At Byrchall class tonight.....a chance to flex your choreography muscles....using the moves we have already learned I want you to make your own versions of the sequence we did last week. I'll be splitting you into small groups and you will show the group what you have come up with...the sequences will run together to create a new dance...It's going to be good!!!
