In their own words
Our students come to us at every age and from every starting point. These are their journeys, written by them — what brought them in, what they were nervous about, and what they can do now.

Marion Foers
You are never too young or too old to start
That experience taught me that we are capable of much more than we sometimes think, regardless of our age.
Marion picked her teacher at 83 by going to a competition and watching who was having the most fun. Since then she has competed in Latin for the first time, performed a solo show dance for her 85th birthday, and started on Salsa.

Kara Lee
Dancing is far more than a hobby — it is a lifeline
The moment I step onto the floor, my physical burdens fade into pure freedom.
Kara started at bronze level nine years ago and reached Open Gold this year, dancing through rheumatoid arthritis, a collapsed foot and chronic joint pain. The moment she steps onto the floor, she says, the physical burdens fade.

What our students say
Katia and Dima have given me back years of youth by teaching me how to move and dance all styles of ballroom. They are as passionate and fun about their dancing as they are about teaching, and I've progressed faster than I ever expected with them.
My wedding dance was made so much more special by Dance Vitality's coaching than our entire family expected. Our guests haven't stopped talking about how much fun they had watching, and how impressed they were with our moves!
We are so impressed with Katia's patience and dedication to teaching both of our children. They have gained so much confidence from every lesson and are having lots of fun in the process. I couldn't think of a better decision for their future!
