Partner dance is a creative way to increase your vitality and joy, while deepening your connection. Engage this non-verbal way to play together and improve your collaborations. Learn how to move-in-rhythm with each other.

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 to share my passion). 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 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”  … let’s move forward on the right foot, together!

Truly, it’s the best therapy for couples. 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.
