Frequently Asked Questions

You’re not alone!  Would you believe we were actually in the same boat, and on a professional level to boot!?  The moment we connected with the right teacher we were able to undo years of bad habits and get much healthier.  We embarked on a productive path to a superb quality of dance with principles congruent with our lives, dancing, and instructional goals in which to share with you!

Sadly, no formal licensing requirements exist to be a “Ballroom Dance Instructor” in the United States. Fortunately, overseas – where our coach trained – there are vigorous requirements for dance instructors that are equivalent to Bachelor, Master, and Doctorate Degrees. That is the level to which we train! So your feet and body, mind, and spirit are in well-trained and capable hands! Click Below and Let’s Go!

We hear this from nearly 80% of the people meet. We don’t know who started those myths and we are going to set the record straight.

 * The fact is, everyone HAS rhythm, PERIOD: your heartbeat has rhythm, your breath has rhythm, your walk has a rhythm… we all naturally have rhythm™. Music has a formal set of rules, scales, and guidelines in which to learn: well guess what? So does dancing. 

* The skills, principles & fundamentals we teach in our course to create a beautiful dance are equivalent to a musician’s scales by which they create beautiful music. 

* In our course, “Your First Dance, Your Way – Dancing Made Simple – A Cure for the Simple Sway”™, we guide you in applying practical, everyday movement to the music so that it both appears rhythmic and IS rhythmic. 

*  Beyond that, we don’t bombard you with complicated steps, intricate choreography & patterns to “memorize” like most every dance studio does without equipping you with the skills needed to execute them!

* Nor will we push moves, lifts or things that are nearly impossible to execute in a Wedding Gown!

* At times we first have to clear the mind of the “junk” you may have been lead to believe by perhaps well-intended yet misinformed people. Often simple reading and/or hearing us dispel the myth(s) is enough to get started on the right foot. 

* Don’t let someone’s bad information cause you to Awkwardly Sway during your Dance.

Agree! Given a choice we LOVE working with our coach directly, We wish she also offered an online course because when someone really knows how to teach it makes a difference. We would be watching it: we both love learning and improving on and off the dance floor. 

One difference with an online course is that we are not right there to dance it with you and manage every step of the way. We are so detailed and specific on the How To’s of what we teach, that it even surprised our doubting suspicion that our online course can work. 

If you truly engage our system & listen to the lessons, you’ll avoid pitfalls, arguing, attempting to teach one another (unless your partner asks) or in general going in a direction we don’t want it to go… at the same time you learn how to self-manage straight away. 

There are principles & interpersonal skills that can enhance any relationship. Of course, there are not good ways of treating oneself or one another that do the opposite… naturally we suggest healthy options!

Throughout our Course, we teach modifications for all partner dancing: Father-Daughter, Mother-Som, LGBT, LGBTQ, even “just friends.”

We learn best being  able to review often so I’ve planted a seed for our coach to do a program for us, like we have for you, I can’t wait! In the meantime, jump on board and join us in creating Your First Dance, Your Way – Dancing Made Simple™ and enjoy a lifetime of dancing.

If you really want to do this but you have a reluctant partner, you are not sure will join you, we have a few thoughts and suggestions. 

*They may be self-conscious, and think they have no rhythm. Reassure them and tell them they absolutely do have rhythm! Play the Myths, I have no rhythm” module for them and this alone may convince them!

*Whether or not your partner jumps in right away, if you are improving yourself, it’s an asset. It’s always easier dancing with someone more experienced. A reason people dance well with us is that in addition to being very well trained, we can encourage them because we’re not thinking so hard about our jobs, we just dance. Being well trained allows us to dance with anyone at any level. Beginners feel quite reassured with us… your partner will too. 

*Your partner may simply need to know that there will be no “judgement” or laughing at them. Sometimes a good old-fashioned heart-to-heart conversation, with listening and support solves a lot.  Dancing brings out a lot of our “stuff.” Knowing you will be kind and supportive can go a long way.  We offer suggestions on this throughout our course. 

*If they watch you practice concepts like “The Shake, the Basic Walks” and so on, the simplicity alone may reduce the intimidation factor.  They may get curious and ask about it, so don’t let a currently reluctant partner stop you from growing and learning.

*When our coach first learned it, this system was taught individually and then the partner was added later… this is one reason why I want our coach to do a program too!

*It’s important to develop oneself, be it on or off the dance floor.  If one person is skilled, you both stand a change.   If both of you are totally lost then what?  Ah yes!  The Awkward Sway… 

Don’t be “that” couple…

Don’t we know it! We’ve seen wedding budgets from under a thousand dollars, to tens of thousands of dollars, and even ones well into the six figures! Whatever your budget may be, we wish to help you “honor & obey” it. Thus, we offer options.  We’re very transparent with our fees, and seek to not only make your dancing better, but to make your lives better,
