The DoubleBack has a reputation. Ask any FCBD® Style dancer which step makes them nervous, and chances are, this is the one.
But what if the DoubleBack could become your new favorite step?
That's exactly what DeAnna is here to do.
In this workshop, she's tackling the DoubleBack head-on with the kind of detailed, picky technique breakdown that leaves no question unanswered. You'll learn how to cue it correctly, nail the timing of the half turn, and finally add in the military zil pattern with confidence. The secret is in the contrast: sharp, powerful hip movements paired with soft, flowing arms, all while staying in your dance angle the entire time. And when you get those hips twisting all the way into that left corner? That's the moment everything clicks.
With a targeted warm-up, plenty of drills, and DeAnna's signature energy, this is the class that will finally make the DoubleBack something you actually can't wait to dance.
No more avoiding it. No more doubting it. Just you, owning one of the most dynamic steps in FCBD® Style.
