Thank you Francisco and Stacey! From the staff behind the counter, the instructors who teach, to the other students who are there to learn, you have succeeded in creating a wonderful environment with an amazing group of people. There is something very special happening with The Dance Family, and I am happy to be apart of it. 

While I have taken salsa lessons at several other places, something was always missing. From the moment I first walked into The Dance Family studio, it felt like home. Everyone on your staff is professional, supportive and excited to be there. Like with any championship team, chemistry and attitude is everything, and you have lots of both.

Taking lessons at the Dance Family studio has been challenging, yet very enjoyable and I now have a new found passion for learning to dance salsa. I wanted thank you and your amazing staff for truly making a difference in my life, on and off the dance floor!

Have a great day,
Eric Rhinehart

I notice some things about your studio that really attract me to it: 1. You teach American--wow, people actually look at each other when they dance, what a concept! 2. The Salsa teaching has a real Salsa flavor, not a "made in USA " feel like some ballroom studios. 3. Ditto for Argentine Tango. 4. You have the best Lindy Hop teachers in the area, and among the best internationally. (I came to the studio initially to take Ben and Sherri's class.) 5. You have a great blues guy: Doug. Awesome dancer and teacher. 6. Your studio seems to combine the best of the elegance of polished dancing, along with a gritty street-dance-friendly attitude. ~ AJ
