Episode 101: Bapi - Experiencing His Teachings In Dance Connections

The Jive Buddies have wanted to talk to Bapi for a long time and so we were at his Be In Time & Be Connected workshop to find out what the fuss was all about. This is a special episode, recorded straight after the class, in Penkridge village - it's a fascinating discussion about thoughts on the workshop and dance connections, interwoven with some of this well loved teacher's history.   Chapters: Bapi tells us about the workshop [1:29] Where did Bapi's expressive dancing come from?
