All I can say is WOW. This man knows his stuff…read more A few years ago, my then-wife and I took a rec and ed course on basic ballroom dancing that was taught by Dorian. He has clear passion for dancing and for sharing his amazing gift with others. He also has the right ATTITUDE to be an effective instructor. Patient, understanding, knowing how to work with "room temperature IQ" types who are "legends in their own minds", and effectively dealing with Fred Astaire wannabes with two left feet, Dorian gave all the people in the class COMPETENCE and CONFIDENCE, when it was clear that he was so, so, so much better than those in the class. I simply cannot give a stronger recommendation to this outstanding teacher. He is a fabulous dancer with loads of talent but makes everyone feel that they are making good progress. If I had to select just one person to teach me ballroom dancing for an important event (holiday party, wedding, etc.), I would entrust that awesome responsibility to Dorian Deaver. It is similar to recruiting Michael Jordan or LeBron James to teach a basic high school basketball clinic. Damn! You simply cannot do better. Recommend heartily! -------------- Disclosure: I did not receive anything (not even a pair of stinky socks) for submitting this review. Other than being a former student, I have no connection with Mr. Deaver. Good luck!

Fantastic dance teacher! My fiancé and I spent the summer taking lessons with Dorian in preparation…read morefor our wedding, and we couldn't have been happier with our choice :) We have no prior dance experience, and Dorian helped us feel comfortable and have fun with a beautiful routine. We are so excited for our first dance - and so grateful for our time in Dorian's studio!

We were looking for classes before our wedding for our first dance and these were exactly what we…read morewere looking for. Natalia is so sweet and a really great teacher. The group classes were very affordable, and we got a lot of tips when we struggled. It is a really great deal. We did a handful of classes and adapted it to our first dance song since we learned a lot of different moves. Neither of us are dancers and she made us feel very comfortable. It feels like a little family there, it is very welcoming. I recommend this for anyone looking for a hobby or new skill, couple, or before weddings. So happy with how it turned out. So many people complimented our first dance.
