Your Modern Jive instructor Dawn was a Taxi Dancer for Ceroc Yorkshire for many years. She took a teacher training course in Modern Jive in 2013 with LeRoc and, in 2014, became a joint partner in a Ceroc class in Ripon at the Ripon Spa hotel. She now runs a class at the Jion Studio in Ripon, teaches wedding dances, instructs at corporate and social events, and holds private lessons.
In her younger years Dawn attained 5 medals in Disco with the International Dance Teachers Association (IDTA) and has trained as a West Coast Swing Instructor (which she teaches), continually attending training sessions and practice events to continually improve on her teaching techniques.
Dawn also enjoys dancing Blues and Tango.
