Yasmin Joy of Motion Begin2

The JOM Skills syllabus

Semester times vary from 10 weeks to 13. I will follow the schedule as best I can. Please make sure that you practice your hip movements with a straight back - and aim for a jiggle!

I would also like for you to look at the book suggestion page and the music page. If you are interested in learning this dance you must understand something about where it came from and the music you are dancing to.
