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, and I was asked often to share my love for dance with others and dance at parties (and was paid). 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 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:

There are many jewels to experience in partner dance. 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”  

As you practice moving as one, you relax, and feel beautifully integrated, purposely flowing, and alive with energy and vitality. Let’s move forward on the right foot, together. Truly, it’s therapy for couples.

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