Ballroom Instructor

I've had the honour for guiding singles and couples through Ballroom dance lessons for 30+years, it’s more like my hobby. Whether wedding, a personal treat, or a special event, guiding you on the dance floor while youre learning is a real treat. Everyone can dance, many just don't realize it until they start.

Here are just a few of the amazing benefits of dance:

It’s a fantastic way to get your heart rate up, improve your cardio.
- It’s a great way to keep seniors both physically and mentally active;
- It'll make you faster at any Sport;
- The list of benefits is long and growing daily.

'Dance' has taken me on some incredible adventures and enabled me to meet many international dance professionals...some on the dance floor. Several have visited us at Eleven Hundred Dance this year. Students benefit from their visitations as ultimately we all benefit from their skills.

Locally have been involved in some really cool events, like:
- Dancing Under the Canopy (1995-2007);
- Dancing with the Stars (2004-2006; (Instructor).
- The Art of Tango, Lincoln Centre Stage (2020).

Ballroom dancing includes several genres ... Waltz, Foxtrot, Slowfox, Rumba, Cha-Cha, Jive, East Coast Swing, Samba, Viennese Waltz, Quick-Step, Mambo, Meringue, Salsa, Tango, West Coast Swing, and Paso Doble (the latter more for competition).

American Ballroom styled dances are perfect for local dance floors. Whether it’s a wedding social, club, legion, or a special event, Motown, Rock, Crooner, or today’s Top 10 music, there’s always a great time to dance. Students often comment they can’t believe how much more fun things are now that they know what to do on the floor.

I hope you’ll join us for some fun!

Now instructing private lessons. Group classes are coming this fall, and we’ll be taking registrations late August/Sept.
