and Leads will learn styling using the same methods. We'll learn when it's easy to style depending on what you do, using familiar patterns for examples.
Thanks Grant! I am from LA, but currently located in SLC. Does that work?
Hey- so question... the $10 a lesson- does that mean 10 each hour, so 40 for the day, or 10 for the day?
I'm guessing $40/day, though you may be able to talk them into a bulk rate. Buy three, get one free or something. Also, welcome to the boards!! [Emoticon not found]
We've got a REALLY amazing follow coming to utah that weekend. can we have her teach sometime?
Only $40.00 for a full day of classes and fun. OR $10.00 per class.
i just had an idea. since LEADS GET IN FOR FREE, guys could help sponsor a girl by paying for a bit of her entrance fee. so encourage your favorite follows to attend! =D
Grant... that's such a sweet thought!
We are having a special guest for the Utah Girl Jam...Jeesun from Korea!
Jeesun on Youtube
http://youtube.com/watch?v=ZCoZCoC9MHA
She will be teaching from 4-5pm of the Girl Jam.
To help encourage everyone to come those who buy the whole workshop will only pay $40.00. That saves you $10.00 if you attend all 5 hours.
So when does the girl jam begain and end because from 1-5 is still four hours but you said 5 so I am a little confused
We will be able to accept credit cards for this event!
The movement class (2-3pm) will be entitled:
"How to own the dance floor!"
I will be teaching a warm up and routine containing exercises that I feel demonstrate the most important aspects for dancing and that make you stand out on the dance floor..... in a good way!
I recommend that you come in clothing that is not restrictive and not too baggy. Yes, that's a given, but I thought I'd say it anyways. [Emoticon not found]
It is open to guy and gals, although, I will ask the the guys stay in the back of the room so that the paying girls can get the most benefit. [Emoticon not found]
I'm really excited for this event!!

The Girl Jam was great. We had a pretty good sized crowd. The classes were all wonderful and a special thanks to the leads who came. It was great to see everyone. I know those who came will be better dancers for it. Thanks to the teachers who all did a marvelous job.
i danced with two provo follows that night and i noticed marked improvements (as noted by the widened smiles on their faces).
facebook has some pictures.
