If you follow our suggested duration of four weeks, get ready to invest about 1-2 hours per week in your training. But remember, you can always go through this intensive at your own pace. Two weeks is just a suggested structure.

In this program we will learn 4 combos of different complexity: two combinations from Veronika, and two of mine.

As I've mentioned, this intensive was created in collaboration with Veronika Shulkevich. I took classes with her as a part of my own training and growth, but afterwards she kindly agreed to record and share part of that training with the members of the Iana Dance Club.
