Dance of Connection

Learn partner dance + more

Let’s Move Forward Together


The dance of connection offers a creative way to increase your vitality and joy, while deepening your connection with others. Engage this non-verbal way to play together and improve your communication. Practice listening with your whole-body and learn how to move-in-rhythm with each other. We put emotions into motion, practice relational mindfulness, and expand our connections with joy.

 

“As you practice moving as one, you relax, and feel beautifully integrated, purposely flowing, and alive with energy and vitality.” ⏤ Julie

This moving conversation is fun and heart opening. All are welcome!

DANCE AT YOUR DOORSTEP  

BENEFITS  There are many jewels to experience. You can:

  • Wake up your natural joy
  • Shake off the old and welcome in the new
  • Attune your body and heart to open and flourish 
  • Nourish the “art of connection”  … 

This approach to dance uplifts and supports people through many changes in life. Truly, it’s the best therapy for couples. We put emotions into motion, while releasing stuck energy and restoring your natural rhythms. Research shows that 90% of our communication is non-verbal. 

Plus, Stanford’s 20-year research shows partner dance improves brain function by 76%, by far the highest results. 

EXPERIENCE  Let the music in me, light the music in you.” Julie

As a professional movement and ballroom dance instructor, my experience includes foxtrot, waltz, viennese, tango, quickstep, rumba, chacha, mambo, samba, east coast swing and two-step. When I began as an amateur competitor, we received multiple first place awards. I noticed my mindful movement training contributed to a greater expression of dance. Soon, I was asked to share my love for dance with others. This inspired me to teach partner dance.

In 2004, I opened Slippers, a creative arts center in WI. Slippers was nominated main street business of the year in its first year. After moving back to the Twin Cities in 2008, I continued to teach partner dance through Retro Ballroom in St. Louis Park where I received significant training and experience. 

For years I wrote a column in the Dancing Times called “Dance Into Your Best Life”. These articles further fueled my book, Moved To Create.
