'Lone Star Shag’ - Weekend workshops with Amanda Pincock (SoCal / Austin TX)
We’re thrilled to have our pal Amanda visiting the UK for the first time and bringing her shag expertise to London for a special pair of workshops!
You’ll know Amanda from her many appearances in top US and European Shag competitions, dancing with Zach Lockett-Streiff and Ryan Martin.
You may also recognise her from her perfect recreation of the Venice Beach Clip with Jeremy Otth: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nCBfB32YBXE&list=RDnCBfB32YBXE&start_radio=1
Amanda will lead both workshops, supported by our own Peter Ayres.
