Custom Choreography for Guillaume Dannhoff
Here you will find all of the tools for putting together your first dance! We suggest learning the individual steps first, then using the breakdown video to piece the moves together section by section. Begin practicing without music, then incorporate music as you get more comfortable with the steps. The written instructions for your dance are at the bottom of this page for easy reviewing. If you have any questions, please reach out to us at info@duetdancestudio.com. Have fun dancing!

Both leader and follower will need to know the footwork for this turn. (We will connect the turns in the breakdown video.)
The lean is taught as an intro in the above video, but we will use this step in the middle of the dance, so please focus on learning the cradle position and the leaning action. Both of you should get comfortable with the leader’s and follower’s part!
