My husband and I have been taking lessons from Annette Farrell at Smooth Dancer for a couple of…read moreyears. When we started, he had never danced and could not even keep time to music. In the 15 years before our lessons, we never danced together. Now we are at the intermediate level and members of a social dance club. We do 11 dances. We went on a cruise a couple of months after we began lessons and spent all of our nights dancing. We got compliments on our dancing every night, and one lady even asked us to teach her the dance we were doing! Annette really wants you to learn and believes that anyone can. Her saying is "If you can walk, you can dance." Be prepared, though: she is a feisty red-head, and there is no doubt who is in control when you walk into her studio.

I try to leave a review when trying out a new venture. I have been taking dance lessons here for…read moreone month. Honestly, I didn't look at a lot of companies when trying to decide where to start taking beginner lessons... just because once I've found something I want to pursue - I do. I've gotten several questions about this place lately so in update ... Overall take: 1. Annette, the owner, responded to all initial inquiries quickly, which lead me to check it out and sign up. 2. The lessons move at a fine pace for me. I learn just enough to be challenged but not overwhelmed. Hubby (also taking the class) and I then take what we learn and practice each day. For us repetition is key. 3. I look forward to going back, and I also enjoy practicing at home and at community events when we can. For the beginner class, you don't need a partner, but if you do have one it's great for spending time together and learning to work together as a team. I am doing the beginner group lesson. Some also do the private lessons and beginner group lesson (practice session) together regularly or on occasion. Honestly, find what satisfies your goals and budget and do you. Our #1 goal is to spend time together and have fun learning to dance - which is exactly what we are doing. Best wishes ~

My husband and I started off with a Groupon for the beginner ballroom classes because we wanted to…read morelearn some basics before our wedding. We enjoyed it SO MUCH that we actually did another 2 months of group classes (Pre-Intermediate) and then did 3 private lessons with Demetra for our first dance! The group lessons were a lot of fun and non-threatening. Gloria made it very easy by showing you a basic move and having the whole class repeat the same move multiple times. Over the weeks, she will add more steps to the one you learned the previous week. We rarely practiced when we got home, but when we went back the following week and did a refresher at the beginning of the class.. it was like riding a bike! It really is a great value- $50 for 4 classes a month and you get to learn all sorts of styles of ballroom dancing (waltz, foxtrot, tango, cha cha, rumba, and jitterbug). I also liked that the classes were in the evening (7 or 8pm depending on your skill set) which made it easy since traffic is mostly gone by then. They also have a large parking lot so no need to worry about parking. For our private lessons, we had Demetra and she was such a sweetheart! We gave her our first dance selection prior to meeting and when we had our first lesson, she already had the styles (cha cha and jitterbug) chosen and taught us the essentials like the dance entrance and dip at the end. She was very patient with us and would show us steps multiple times until we were comfortable with it. She also taught us exercises to do at home that helped us with hip movements for the cha cha. We learned so much from her and we had so many compliments on our first dance and how great we looked. She truly made our big day extra special!

The owner, directors, instructors and even other parents are focused on developing quality dancers as well as quality people. I love that they weave in character lessons as well as biblical principals into the classes.

The ballet testing and advancement is structured under the Sonshine Christian Syllabus which is available online to review. We have been very pleased with the recitals as well. Absolutely moving.

Our guests loved it/ were blown away by our dance, and we loved performing it and learning it. Wedding prep can get stressful, and learning the dance and going to class was a stress reliever and a ton of fun. I have never done ballroom dancing before (my now wife had a long time ago ), but Anjulena was a fantastic teacher and could teach us and get us performance ready for the wedding! She choreographed the dance for us based on what we wanted, and it felt awesome to have someone who could make this dance into something we wanted. We told her what we wanted as the dance developed, and she could add in moves and make modifications to meet our needs. She is also super kind and even came to our wedding rehearsal to help us practice our dance and to make sure we were oriented correctly and comfortable to do our dance at the venue (for both plan A and the rain plan). Overall, I highly recommend working with Anjulena. If you have a first dance for a wedding, she's your person. She helped us create a memorable moment we will cherish forever (I have watched a recording of our dance a friend got for us so many times already!) and a dance that wowed our guests (everyone said it was the best first dance they have seen!). We look forward to learning other dances with her in the future. Thank you Anjulena, you are fantastic!

We were really happy on how well our wedding dance went. When we first came, we didn't know anything about dancing.

It's a lot of fun and it gets even more fun along the way because you start putting the puzzle pieces together. Anjulena has been a professional dancer for much of her career so she knows a lot. She is very personable and has a lot of experience teaching. I highly recommend her as a dance instructor for any occasion. We plan on coming back to learn other styles of dancing.
