Ballroom For Beginners

Maybe you’re like me?
For years I avoided dancing, mainly on account of something another 6^th-​grader said to me at a sock hop.
Imagine that! A grown man bossed around by an 11 year-​old!
Finally decided to put that 6^th-​grader in his place.
This studio is for you if you suspect you’ve been missing out on a lot of fun because you feel self-​conscious on the dance floor.
No Show-​offs or Ballerinas here, just guys and gals who are tired of missing out and ready to try something different. It’s a place where it’s OK not to be perfect.
The owner, Cyndy, focusses on the classics like Waltz, Rumba, Foxtrot, Country Two-​step — basic bread-​and-​butter dances that you can get comfortable with and not have to turn yourself into something from Saturday Night Fever.
We’re talking about the kind of moves that will get you through a wedding reception without embarrassing yourself or harming others.
As a man who came of age in the ’70’s, the concept of leading and following was particularly uncomfortable. As a former dance-​o-​phobe herself, Cyndy is especially sensitive in dealing with this issue.
I’ve had my son and daughter (both early teens) out with me and it was amazing to see how quickly they got into it. It’s one of our favorite things to do now.
I started out with private lessons to accommodate my shyness. The studio is a clean and spacious and I found it had a calming effect. Pretty soon I felt ready to show up to a group for beginners, which I found to be of a nice, intimate size, completely welcoming and stress-​free.
Group lessons happen on Saturday mornings at 10 and I believe at other times as well. I found both group and private lessons to be affordably priced.
