Here’s what you can expect: 

• Six hours of group lessons to improve your dance skills and technique

They are 11-time U.S. Open Classic routine division winners, have 20 U.S. Open titles each, and in 2019 were inducted into the Walk of Legends. They are 6-time NASDE Champions and hold multiple Grand National Championships titles. At the UCWDC World’s event they were given the Star Award for the “Couple with the Most Impact on Swing,” and Jordan won “Best Swing Choreographer.” Their TV and movie appearances include 30 Seconds to Fame, Star Search, Good Morning America, The Polar Express, and Love N’ Dancing.
