We are excited and happy to welcome back Carlos Chang to the islands. He will be here for a short stay, about 3 weeks, so we want to make sure that you have the opportunity to take as many workshops and classes while he's here.

Must be a Dance Magic 808 member to attend the workshops. The workshops are for the new and also the experienced dancers. Everyone can learn something.

The workshops will be in 2 parts. The first part will be techniques, then a break, and the second part will be a short choreography of the dance.
