Hey guys! My names Janai and I’m a second year medical student here at UL! I’m a Canadian dancer who has been dancing for 20 years now! From competitive dance to pre-professional ballet, training in Italy, Amsterdam, and throughout Canada, I have gathered lots of experience over the years. I am so excited to teach you a sassy fun jazz combo this week and I hope you all can make it! <3

Our first workshop of the semester is Ballroom with Marika! Here's what she has to say about this exciting class:

“Hi everyone! My name is Marika, I am a silver level dancer in all four styles of ballroom. I have competed as both a leader and a follower all around the Northeastern US, and love teaching ballroom as well! It's never too late to start, and no worries if you don't have a partner - ballroom is a great way to meet new friends! Since spooky season has officially begun, we'll be learning a dance that goes with some Halloween favourite songs like Michael Jackson's Thriller and the Ghostbusters theme: the cha-cha! Cha-cha is a fun and upbeat Latin dance that's beginner friendly and will get your feet moving. Wear comfortable clothes and shoes and hang on to your heads as the ghosts and ghouls start coming out, and I hope to see you soon!”

Greetings Dancers!
