-BENEFITS OF (BEGINNERS : ENTRY LEVEL) RUNWAY WALKING CLASSES for women (age 18-29/ age 30+) :
Radiating confidence is all about the way a woman moves...
About 90 per cent of how people perceive a woman is based on the way she holds herself.
If you look at any top model strutting along a runway, you'll see how she draws the crowd's attention to herself. Models don't just walk. They own the space they're in. Michelle du Toit teaches women to do the same.
Whenever a woman walks into a room, she should think of it as her own personal space... she should be sashaying wherever she goes!
