The Strides Ballroom Teaching Method
Stride verb \ˈstrīd\
The most effective natural pace : to reach one’s maximum competence or capability.
The Strides Ballroom Method of learning to dance was created by professional ballroom dancer and instructor Jennifer Corey. With over 40 years of dance experience and 25 years of teaching experience, Jennifer has continued to work and train with some of the top leaders in the dance industry. Her experiences on and off the dance floor led her to create a way for anyone to learn to dance. She has taught all ages from young to the young at heart (ages 9-91). She has worked with those that think they have two left feet, and those that seem to have been born to dance. People who have studied music, and those that struggle finding the beat. All that she has learned in helping hundreds of people to learn to dance has been compiled into one great teaching method – Strides Ballroom.
