Our students about their lessons:
Marvin Freed
Competent, caring and cheerful, Tanya has an amazing number of steps in her repertoire and I take full advantage of it. I enjoy the lessons with Tanya and have become a better dancer thanks to her.
Bella and George
We love learning from Phil and Tanya. They are wonderful teachers, excellent! Very meticulous and what they are doing is sharp - I recommend it to anybody!
Nick Dees
To quote Ernest Hemingway: "good is what you feel good after." This was always my experience when taking West Coast Swing lessons from Phil and Tanya. No matter how out-of-sorts I might have been feeling prior to a session I always left with a sense of accomplishment and pure joy. Not only they are excellent instructors with an ability to detect and correct flaws in executing a particular move, Tanya's naturally pleasant and patient demeanor made practices enjoyable from beginning to end.
Steve and Lori Weiss
We have been taking lessons with Phil and Tanya for about one year now and we are thoroughly enjoying it. It has increased our enjoyment of dancing. It has definitely made dancing fun!
Greg
I've had about 5 teachers in the last few years and Tanya really is the best. I connect with her, it makes more sense. She is very patient, I think she will be my teacher from now on.

Sandy
Phil's group classes are great. He seems to relate to all students and finds a way to explain dance steps or routines to everyone, regardless of their previous experience or lack of it. He is kind and never criticizes any student or makes them feel they can't become a good dancer. He is a certified ballroom dance instructor and has been well trained for all ballroom dances.
Pierre and Nicole Lavalard
Phil and Tanya are obviously at the top of their art, and their structured teaching methods won us over. They laid out a plan with/for us, stayed with it, tracked our progression and made the whole experience enjoyable. My husband and I went into our son's wedding feeling confident and had a very nice time on the dance floor.

For Couples ministry at your church
To book a class or to schedule ongoing classes
Discover the sacred beauty of ballroom dancing as a reflection of marriage, trust, and spiritual harmony. Our specialized ballroom lessons for church couples transform the dance floor into a sacred space where the lead-and-follow structure becomes a profound metaphor for healthy, loving relationships. As couples move together, they experience the deep spiritual principle: the leader listens to God as the follower listens to the leader, and together they move in perfect, harmonious synchronization. Through ballroom dance, couples learn the vital language of communication, mutual respect, and emotional attunement — mirroring the dance between husband and wife in God's design for marriage. We teach the beauty of healthy boundaries: the leader's confident, clear direction creates safety for the follower, while the follower's trust and responsiveness empowers the leader. The music becomes a living lesson in surrender, guidance, and partnership. Whether in a couples' ministry event, a marriage enrichment retreat, or a church celebration, our ballroom classes weave together movement, spirituality, and relationship wisdom, helping couples experience their marriage as a sacred dance — one step, one listen, one heartbeat at a time.

From intimate ensemble pieces to spectacular productions featuring as many as 75 young dancers moving in perfect synchronization across the stage, we craft choreography that elevates every performance. Our creative reach extends globally: among our proudest achievements is choreographing an innovative production on rollerblades performed in St. Petersburg, Russia — a bold, boundary-pushing experience that showcased professional sportsmen along with striving young students.

Ballroom dance classes for kids
Bring it to your school or church
Transform your school culture by bringing the elegance and joy of classical ballroom dancing into your academic curriculum. Our innovative ballroom classes offer far more than graceful steps — they're a powerful educational tool that awakens both hemispheres of the brain, igniting creativity, focus, and cognitive development. Students experience the magic of movement while developing vital life skills: healthy communication between boys and girls, the art of partnership, and the fundamental dynamics of lead and follow that extend far beyond the dance floor into all their relationships. As their bodies become more physically alert and emotionally alive, we witness remarkable transformations — heightened motivation, improved concentration, and measurable progress across all academic subjects. Ballroom dancing brings joy, confidence, and vitality to your school days, creating a generation of young people who understand respect, cooperation, and the beauty of moving together in harmony. It's classical dance with a modern purpose: educating the whole child — mind, body, heart, and spirit.
