The sugar push is a simple move... or is it?? Together, let's explore this six-count move that is easy to learn but difficult to master. We'll cover how to use tension and compression in our partnered connection and tone in our own bodies in a way that will help make not only our sugar pushes, but the rest of our dancing comfortable and smooth!
