Sorry for the delay in getting new classes up.  Have undergone eye surgery and was limited in what I could do and then (being a bit old) simply forgot.

  Jim & Suzi    Thank you so much for helping us with our
  first dance for the wedding. Although practice was stressful
  at times, our first dance turned out beautiful.  We received
  many compliments and we couldn't have done such a great job
  without your help.     Thanks again      Sylwia and Jeff.

Suzi....the dance lessons paid off!!!  Everyone raved   
about the bride and groom dance so you should know   
how wonderful it was!  Plus we all enjoyed getting   
to know you and Jim.  thank you again for everything!!  

Sherry S   

"We so appreciated Jim and Suzi's patience with us throughout our dance lessons; my husband and I were both very new to dance! During our wedding preparation, we looked forward to our lessons as a light-hearted time to unwind and reconnect. At the reception, the dance definitely caught the attention of our guests; I had never seen so many cameras flashing and recording. It was so much fun and so worth it!"  K. and M.

"Jim and Suzi are wonderful instructors and helped us perfect our
first dance for our wedding. Our lessons were fun and we were
never intimidated. We enjoyed our experience so much that
we continue to take ballroom dance lessons with them." Ashley  

  

"Thank you both so much for taking the time to instruct us as beginners to dance. As the classes went on, we both really enjoyed it! We really appreciasted your patience and personal stories. Our guest really enjoyed the dances, and it will be something we always remember. Thanks again"  L. and S.

"We would highly recommend taking lessons with Jim and Suzi. The lessons not only
helped us "dazzle" at our own wedding, but we have also been able to show off
some of our moves at other family weddings. We were able to go from total dance
novices to performing a 3 minute routine with many different moves after
only 5 lessons! The individual lessons are a good investment if you have very
limited dancing experience and want to progress quickly.
We would certainly take lessons from Jim and Suzi again in the future. K and C   
  

"We survived the wedding and more importantly, made it through our dance without messing up! Thank you for helping us look good for our first dance, we really appreciate it. I recommended one of my friends and his fiance try your classes ahead of their wedding! We didn't get many shots of us on the dancefloor but here is one for you guys! Thanks again."  A and K. .

Ballroom Dance, as may be obviously seen, is done by couples.  Our classes are oriented toward couples and we do not require couples to rotate. We do not accept singles in our classes because they will not get sufficient dance time with a partner and this will not allow a single to get a good return on their class fee.  In past times, people went to dances and the etiquette was to dance with whoever asked.  Today, most people go to dances to dance with their partner and not to dance with lots of other people.  It is your choice with whom you dance and we respect that.

We believe in providing the best teaching for Des Moines ballroom dance classes giving students good value for their money and an academic approach to teaching ballroom dance. We have been trained by top professionals throughout the United States including over 10 different Professional national champions and have also trained with two teachers rated in the top 5 dancers in the world.
