14th Annual Winter Wonderland Showcase

Image
Enrollment for Winter has closed. It may seem like December is far away, but it's only 20 lessons for our students who come in weekly to learn a new dance and a choreography and feel confident to show others on Saturday December 20th 2025. Seats for this live dance exhibition are $20 while they last! 727-723-3269 to secure yours before they are gone, and leave feeling inspired. Our studio is now enrolling new students for the Spring 2026 exhibition in May! If you don't know a single step we can prepare you to razzle dazzle by Spring. You can select a style of dance, or a song. When you secure your choice it's reserved just for you!

I wish someone told me this sooner...

I wish someone told me this sooner...I thought I needed a partner to start taking dance lessons, but at Dance Forever I can dance with a teacher and other students. It's so warm & welcoming and supportive. Join me at Dance Forever.

When you are a Good Old Fashioned Loverboy it makes for a comedic dance routine! Just LOOK

A large part of dance is the storytelling, and Bob is always a crowd favorite. He comes up with an idea, he selects the song, we teach the dance steps and enhance the storyline. Through what started with a single lesson, to over the decade of dancing, he has explored every genre of partner dancing and has enjoyed doing so with a variety of students as well as teachers.

So much fun for so much little money... Alone or with a partner it's the same price for the teacher's time.

How the dance the boutique came into being?

Image
Why is the boutique open? Before the boutique was opened people used to pay compliments, and ask for recommendations and referrals on where to go to buy the things. We sent to the people and places we supported by shopping there for ourselves! When they returned they would share their experience, ending with "it's too far", "I didn't like the salesperson", "Can you go pick it up for me?" , "Can I just buy it from you"... years went by like this with many times customers literally were buying the clothes off our backs! One year as a business anniversary gift, a generous patron of the studio gifted us a Feng shui consultation and that person asked us "WHY aren't you selling all the things?". After explaining "it wasn't our core business, we didn't want to detract from the vendors we personally bought from" etc. we LISTENED to the universe persistently knocking on our door, and the boutique came into...

Here’s what 99% of helpful people are doing WRONG...

Image
"Many people mistakenly believe they’re “helping” by offering unsolicited advice. It’s actually counterproductive to point out someone else’s mistakes. People can only absorb so much information at a time. Pointing out every error you perceive in your partner's dancing overloads them and makes it harder for them to dance well.Trust that your fellow dancer doing the best they can in that moment. Their best is enough. Telling others how to dance also assumes a position of superiority, presumes that your own dancing is without fault, and that you know more than they do - which is often not the case (I have stories for days on this...) People who really know what they're doing in the dance world know enough not to correct their partners." - Marsha Mitchell

This ONE mistake cost me...

Image
"If someone invited you into their home - would you make a point to mention everywhere you saw dust in the corners? Would you think, "Well, if I don't point out the dust, they'll never learn to properly clean their home. I'm only trying to help them. They should thank me" Or would you just simply enjoy their company and leave criticism at the door? Imagine building up the courage to try something new and having random people coming up to you saying “You’re doing it all wrong. You need to do it my way instead.” It’s one thing to be guided by a teacher, people expect that - but fellow students?! The ballroom is already an uncomfortable environment for many people. They’re constantly worried that they’re not good enough, that they don't know enough moves, and that people aren’t enjoying dancing with them. Pointing out your partner’s mistakes is a recipe for disaster. It can make people feel stressed, annoyed, defeated….I’ve even had people give up dancing ...

The glamourous life of a ballroom dance studio owner...

How does your day go? Most days start around 9:30am with a delicious flavored Nespresso, a morning PQ meditation (Positive Intelligence), a review of emails, current events & social shares while I let my 15 year old Chihuahua Nina in and out. I hop in the shower and dress for the days activities which include a 11 am networking meeting or a 1:1 meeting where I learn more about how to support my local community better. find solutions & ways to move towards them, and usually grab lunch - often my meal for the day. I head back home to pick up my dog who sleeps under my desk at work most days and drive to my business. These days I'm taking a longer scenic route to avoid construction and add peace. The real work begins at 1pm where I'm turning 2 left feet into 10 twinkle toes. Sounds glamorous, but I'm answering calls, offering smiles, listening to music to add to our library, sending text reminders, teaching dance lessons, cleaning, watering the plants, doing th...
