Choreography & Artistry Workshop
$55 ($50 current CED students)

Cleveland Exotic Dance is proud to bring you Rodney James, November 15th, for a very special workshop!!!

Rodney James is one of Australia’s most respected, passionate and inspirational fitness instructors. He has appeared with many of their top performing artists, including touring with Kylie Minogue many times throughout the country, as well as appearing in concerts by Belinda Carlisle, amongst others. He was also featured as a dancer in Baz Lurhman’s film, Moulin Rouge, and was selected to join Caroline O’Connor in New York and at the Cannes Film Festival to launch the film internationally. 

After deciding to apply himself to a new direction, he decided to start designing dance inspired fitness programs giving all women the wonderful and true body shaping benefits of dance which he discovered during my successful international dance career. His enthusiasm and true passion for dance dissolves doubts and self consciousness, enabling the confident to the most timid individual to move more confidently than ever. He has now built a following in the both US and European markets allowing him to share this unique and fun program to women all over the world.

In his workshop we will focus on the artistry of dance and choreography. Designed to help you get the most out of every step and move you make, you will learn how to take your performance to an even higher level. Wild and edgy, Rodney’s unique formula will teach anyone at any level to stand out whenever they are on stage or walking into a room!
