| - Fantastic experience overall!
My husband and I are completely new to ballroom dancing. Although I'm comfortable dancing by myself, my husband never joins me on the dance floor at weddings, parties or clubs because - like many men - he doesn't know the steps and doesn't like to feel like a dork when he's trying to fake his way through.
So, after years of talking about taking lessons, he got a gift certificate for ME but it turned out to be for US! He did SO MUCH BETTER than I ever dreamed he would. Partly our success is due to the fact that Dzintra is SUCH a great instructor! She really took the time to get to know us and played to our strengths. She's patient and encouraging and really knows those little tricks to get you over the hump and past those inevitable stumbling blocks that happen with the process of learning anything.
The other instructors are also fantastic.
It's a very friendly, unintimidating environment that has something for anyone who wants to learn.
After our initial block of lessons were done, my husband and I decided to continue with twice a week lessons and after three months of classes, we now feel confident enough to dance rumba, swing, waltz and fox trot at one of their regular "practice parties" or even "out in public" (we did a Big Band swing event two weeks ago; it was so fun!)
Even though we have no plans for competition, it's been such a wonderful experience for us both and we plan to continue taking lessons indefinitely.
Highly recommend to anyone--young, old, singles or couples. JUST DO IT!
