Free guiDANCE Workshops for All CBC Competitors!

CBC Dancesport kicks off with 3 guiDANCE Workshops on Thursday, August 20. Each 30-minute session is designed to build your confiDANCE, knowledge and excitement before the competition begins!

This year's guiDANCE Workshops will focus on American Rhythm and American Smooth.

Session 1:

In a first-of-its-kind at CBC, we'll feature a story-telling session with Sam Sodano. Sam will share his perspective on American Rhythm, the characteristics that set the style apart and how he developed the Hip Lift Technique. In celebration of HLT's 10th Anniversary, Sam will reunite with 3x US Rhythm Champions Decho Kraev and Bree Watson. The trio will reminisce about how the technique refined Decho and Bree's rhythm dancing and built the foundation to help them achieve their titles.

Session 2:

Next, we'll take the technique to the floor as Sam, Decho and Bree lead our American Rhythm workshop.

Session 3:

Lydia Petrigova will lead our American Smooth workshop and share her inspiring perspective on the style. Check out a sneak peek of Lydia's dance insights on her socials.

To support CBC's Community-Building Competition philosophy, our guiDANCE Workshops are free for all CBC competitors! Plan to arrive early on Thursday, August 20 so you can take full advantage.

See you on the floor!
