PRIVATE LESSONS  

Schedule your own private or group lesson for couples, families, and groups. 

This “dance of connection” offers great support for all kinds of transitions. Transitions can be challenging, whether it is death, moving, career or school changes, family changes, health and aging, or just navigating the ups and downs of life. The dance helps you laugh and have fun while releasing stuck emotions and restoring your natural rhythms, together.

Private lessons are $90/hour for 1-3 couples. Additional couples are $30/each. Text for more info, 6125985355 or email julie@move-as-one.com 

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

As a professional ballroom dance instructor and competitor, my experience includes foxtrot, waltz, viennese, tango, quickstep, rumba, chacha, mambo, samba, swing and two-step. When I began as an amateur competitor, we received multiple first place awards. I noticed my training in Miracle of the Breath and Qigong 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. Since the summer of 2022, we re-located north of Cities to our retreat place – Dancing Prairie – and I am now teaching in Zimmerman, Elk River, and Princeton.

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

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”  … 

Let’s move forward on the right foot ⏤ together. Truly, it’s the best therapy for couples. We put emotions into motion and practice relational mindfulness. 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. 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
