Learning to Dance 101 workshop
Hands-on Workshop MUSIC
Hey everyone! My name is Jonathan. I have been a dance instructor and professional dancer for over a decade now. I hear these 3 statements about dance constantly:
"I wish I knew how to dance"
"I don't have Rhythm"
"I'm not coordinated enough to learn to dance"
In 10 years I have never met anyone I could not teach. All 3 of those statements should disappear from your mind. Unfortunately, all I will have is an hour; however, I hope to atleast make you comfortable and confident enough to start your dance journey. Because there are EDM and dance related events around Anime Fest, I will focus primarily on Hip hop and learning to groove. That does not mean that I will not answer questions about Ballet, Jazz, Tap, and so on so forth. We will learn hip hop technique and follow it up into a small set of choreography.

I have been a professional Dancer for over 10 years now. I teach ballet, tap, jazz, and my favorite being Hip Hop. I have never had an injury in my classroom because of the safety practices that I implement. The only thing I enjoy as much as being on the dance floor is anime and convention hopping. I also Dj and produce music. I've Djed for many big names and even rolled around Djing for Redbull for awhile.
