Well, our wedding this past Saturday the 24th (2004) was a complete success. Our wedding waltz was amazing. We remembered all the steps and had fun with it. Best of all, when the music began, we just knew what to do....Everyone was touched by it. Barb and I want to thank you from the bottom of our hearts for the dance lessons that you taught us...You are an amazing instructor and we will never forget the impact you had on our wedding- and, of course, our dancing!

Waltz. . .the dance of love. WATCH A DEMO DANCE

Lovely, graceful, gliding around the dance floor, it's like skating without the skates.

If you've never waltzed before, or if you're a beginner, these DVDs will teach you step by step a series of figures that you can start dancing immediately. And, if you're an experienced dancer, there's a lot of material here that you can integrate with your existing repertoire.

All of the workshop videos have been edited so that the DVDs are clear and concise.
