Taught by Gene Willman | Page Last Updated June 02, 2008

ALL CLASSES Taught by : Gene Willman

Remember Gentlemen...No PPJ....No Push, NO Pull And No Jerk....We learn to invite, escort, ask and help the woman from one location to another. Communication is they key to nice comfortable dancing. We communicate and the ladies interpret what we are trying to ask of them with our frame. PPJ and the ladies resist more. For the ladies...The more you try to do it yourself - the more you resist...the heavier you feel to the man. Dancing is a great past time. Let go and Enjoy it!
