Simply Ballroom...
My Husband surprised me with a gift certificate to Simply Ballroom as a Christmas gift in December, 2005. He was as excited to give it to me as I was to receive it. For years, we had admired couples dancing when we went to weddings, parties and other special events. Taking lessons at Simply Ballroom has been really fun and we have learned many dance steps. To start with, our instructor took the time to get to know us and understand what we wanted out of our lessons. He asked us where we would be dancing and what types of dances we were interested in learning. We in turn, asked him what types of dances it made sense to learn because we truly "rookies."
My gift certificate was for five lessons. We were having so much fun learning so many dances, we have continued our lessons and are actually beginning to catch on. Simply Ballroom has a fantastic program. Their instructors are very talented and they provide a lesson plan tailored to us and our needs. Their approach makes it fun even when we are having a difficult time catching on. Our instructor has provided song ideas which we can download from the internet to use for practice outside our lessons.
We would highly recommend Simply Ballroom for dance lessons. We are really enjoying ourselves and look forward to each lesson.

I started dancing in grade school, but it was Waltz steps with my sister when she came home from vacation! I started taking West Coast Swing lessons at different places and ended up at Simply Ballroom in the fall of 2006 and am still taking lessons today.
Dancing is good for your body and soul. You can meet so many nice people while getting in your exercise. I have met so many nice people by not only dancing socially, but at showcases and competitions. Along with dancing there are studio cruises, trips and seminars by great dance professionals and having fun learning from your own instructor. I would like to learn a lot of different dances and here at Simply Ballroom I can.
When great people are around you, a good time will be had. As a student of Simply Ballroom you can feel at ease, relaxed and assured of good teaching and good times!
Just like family!

Its been two years and we're still dancing. What started out as a challenge turned into a weekly, date-like experience. You see, my husband had always used the excuse that he couldn't dance - that he had two left feet (How many men have used that for an excuse through the centuries?) and, therefore, couldn't possibly be taught how to ballroom dance. Not only can he dance, he's enjoying himself.
A couple of years ago, with my birthday gift of two dance lessons in hand, my husband and I walked into Simply Ballroom. My husband's eyes reminded me of deer eyes in headlights, but I couldn't wait to get started. This was something I had always wanted to do. "Dancing With The Stars" here we come!
Everyone we have met has been very friendly, encouraging and supportive. We began to include group lessons and practice parties into our weekly routine. At first they were a little overwhelming and intimidating, but we quickly gained more confidence in our dancing. When asked to participate in a competition after eleven months we were sure we would be the comedy act; we felt like rookies. During competition we found that we weren't in over our heads, and everyone there, even from other studios, was very encouraging. The dance community definitely has the feel of a family.
The next big test came when we did our first showcase after a year and a half. What fun it was! Strangers came up to us to compliment us on our dance and expressed how they had been touched by it. WOW! We've started working on our second showcase now and are looking forward to it. I have even mustered up the courage to do a dance for the showcase with my instructor.
Once the dance fever has hit, your feet can't stop. We have been to several weddings since we have begun our dance lessons and once you know the correct way to dance you won't be able to go back to the old of just swaying back and forth. Our weekly dates are definitely a special time for my husband and I. Our instructor and the friends that we've made at Simply Ballroom keep us going back for more.

We were recently looking for a special program for the upcoming Seniors Celebrations Luncheon at our church. With the current popularity of the "Dancing With The Stars" show on television, someone had suggested we bring in a couple to do a dance demonstration for us.
I contacted Rachelle Anderson at Simply Ballroom and she and another instructor were happy to come and perform! It was a wonderful program! They did three different dances (Waltz, East Coast Swing and the Cha Cha).
Rachelle did three costume changes and looked beautiful in all of her outfits! In between dances, the other instructor gave some history about the development of the various dances. Both instructors were SO personable and just great to work with.
All of the folks who attended loved our very own "Dancing With The Stars" program! I would highly recommend Simply Ballroom for your upcoming event. You will be glad you asked them to come and you will truly be entertained!
