Beginning Dance Instructors
Sean and Jodi
Beginner classes will be handled by two of our favorite teachers from
Seattle - Sean Donovan and Jodi Fleishman. From his
website: "Sean Patrick Donovan
loves music and dance, and is passionate about teaching dance and helping
others find sheer joy in movement. Positive and playful, Sean creatively
communicates the essence of dance and its power to delight and transform
us."
Known for her warm and playful teaching style, Jodi loves sharing her passion for all things dance (over 17 years now!). What matters to Jodi, who has studied and taught dance internationally, is the heart, the music and the connection with another on the dance floor.
Sounds like a great introduction to zydeco!
