Ballroom Barre Workshop with Lori Woods-Gay
A Step to Gold Community Ballroom, 6021 Glenwood Avenue, Raleigh, NC, USSmall group. Big improvement. Only 8 spots.
#### What's this all about?
Ever wish your dancing just... clicked? Like your feet knew what to do without you having to think so hard about it?
That's exactly what this workshop is for. Lori's running her signature Ballroom Barre Workshop — we'll use a ballet barre to really drill the fundamentals of Ballroom & Smooth dancing until they start to feel automatic. Less overthinking, more flowing.
It's a 3-part series, not just a single class, because muscle memory takes a little repetition to stick. Come to all three and you'll actually feel the difference by the end.#### Is this for you?
Probably, if you:
- Know the basics but want your moves to feel more natural
- Are working toward more advanced stuff and want a solid foundation first
- Lead OR follow — this helps both
- Don't have a partner — no problem, come solo!
#### When
- Monday, July 27, 2026
- Monday, August 3, 2026
- Monday, August 17, 2026
#### Where
A Step To Gold Community Ballroom, Raleigh, NC
#### Heads up — only 8 spots
Lori keeps this one small so everyone gets real, hands-on attention. It'll fill up, so don't sit on this too long.
#### What to bring
- Shoes you can dance in comfortably
- Water
- Patience for repetition — trust the process!
