You’ll learn how to use weight-sharing, timing, alignment, and communication to create dips that feel supportive rather than stressful—for both partners.We’ll explore: • How to initiate and receive a dip without yanking, collapsing, or guessing • Multiple dip styles, from subtle to dramatic • Clear entry and exit pathways (because getting out matters) • Options that are knee-, ankle-, hip-, and back-friendly • How to adapt dips for different heights, strengths, and comfort levelsThis class is appropriate for all levels and all ages. No extreme flexibility, athleticism, or previous dip experience required—just curiosity and a willingness to move thoughtfully. Whether you’ve avoided dips entirely or want to make the ones you already do feel smoother and safer, you’ll leave with tools you can actually use on the social floor.We prioritize consent, choice, and nervous-system-friendly learning throughout the class.A longtime vocalist and seasoned dancer, Karen Maria Capo brings her signature blend of sultry jazz and playful blues to every lesson.
