WHAT YOU'LL LEARN
Surprise your friends and family! Jillian will teach you the basic building blocks of dance including posture, poise, frame, head positioning and movement from foot to foot so that you and your partner can dance together and have fun.
Working with your music and its timing, Jillian shows the leader how to lead the steps with purpose and the follower to follow the steps with confidence and charm. We'll even work on floor craft to make sure you don't end up dancing on a postage stamp but really use the floor you've got. :))
Of course every wedding dance will have a beautiful choreographed
beginning with something romantic or fun to do and a dip or even a
jump or theatrical pose if you're up for a Dancing With The Stars "Wow!" finale.
Remember if you have the time take a few lessons in salsa, cha-cha or swing as well so you can really cut-loose after your first dance and show your guests how to party!
