2024 | Keep Her Lit | Battering for Sets
52 Weeks of Battering for Sets
You have the freedom to choose your desired level for this course or challenge. I will be providing weekly lessons to guide you in learning, and I will also post video lessons for each step. By the end of the year, my aim is for you to have a collection of 52 weeks of Set dance and battering for sets lessons. The approach to this course is entirely up to you – whether you prefer to learn one step per month or per week.
Some of you might be keeping past material lit and some may be learning it for the first time. Where ever you are at we have the support you need.
