Q: What were your initial thoughts about ballroom dancing before you began taking lessons at Alluring Ballroom Dance Studio? Were you reluctant in any way? How do you feel after taking lessons?
A: Like many men, I felt that dancing was not for me. It seemed difficult, and maybe a bit sissy. I also thought, I would look stupid. Why start something I would inevitably fail at? However, for my wedding, I also did not want to look stupid and clumsy. I wanted my fiance' and me to look good, even great! I joined up, to be trained and just so I would look, at best, OK. That began a love affair with dance! I looked great for my wedding, and we kept at it. The lessons are fun, with other people who are starting out, and we are inevitably the best in the class. We are now planning to take advanced classes, which are available. As we advance, there is always another class which meets our advanced needs--it's all there, and the instructors to train us! Truly, if I can be taught, anyone can be!
Q: What are the things you like most about Alluring Ballroom? (i.e. Teachers, Atmosphere, Location etc.) A: It is convenient, in an easy to reach area. The teachers have seen it all and yet make you feel that your concerns are new to them and they are patient. Anyone can be taught, and a good teacher lets you learn at your own pace. These are the right teachers!
Q: Would you recommend Alluring Ballroom to your friends? Why? A: I recommend dancing to everyone! It is very athletic. Most men think they have no skills at dancing and they have six left feet. It is not true! Men who dance get all the girls, who are very tired of holding up the wall at social events, where guys seem to go to not meet anyone. The girls go to dance! They seem to always have to head out with each other! If you have nothing else to attract a girl, being able to dance will make you stand out. These steps can be adapted to any other dance situation, and then you take over the floor! Once a girl has seen you as confident enough to take her out on the floor, it can lead to anything! Of course, I am now a very happily married man, but if I had known this when I was single....

Q: What were your initial thoughts about ballroom dancing before you began taking lessons at Alluring Ballroom Dance Studio? Were you reluctant in any way? How do you feel after taking lessons?
A: I really did not know anything about the studio until someone recommended it to me for my daughter. She was going to a different studio, but we moved to Alluring Ballroom because we found a dance partner for her here. At first I was hesitant whether we made the right choice, since we were pretty happy in the old place. In very short time all my hesitations disappeared. I was very impressed with how involved and committed the instructors were to their students. It was as if the teachers were as devoted to the kids success as the parents, if not more! I did not experience this in the previous place.
Q: What are the things you like most about Alluring Ballroom? (i.e. Teachers, Atmosphere, Location etc.) A: Besides the steadfast commitment I see from the teachers I'm also very impressed by the sense of community and teamwork that is taught at Alluring Ballroom. During the group lessons, the kids not only learn the steps and technique of the dances, but also learn to cheer, root and applaud each other. Even though they are constantly put into position to compete against each other, I do not see anyone acting superior to the others. They all support and encourage one another. I also love the idea of monthly Kids Socials. This gives a chance for all the kids to bond and have fun while dancing with one another, not just their partners. I feel this builds a sense of community for all the kids there.
Q: Would you recommend Alluring Ballroom to your friends? Why? A: I absolutely would. I feel my daughter has improved tremendously in her short time at Alluring Ballroom, and I would recommend the studio to anyone interested.

Q: What were your initial thoughts about ballroom dancing before you began taking lessons at Alluring Ballroom Dance Studio? Were you reluctant in any way? How do you feel after taking lessons?
A: Before taking lessons at Alluring
Ballroom Dance Studio, I mistakenly thought that learning ballroom dance
was simply to “learn the dance steps.” After taking lessons
from Ms Natalia for two years, I now feel that ballroom dancing is the
bodily expression of love of music. Whenever I watch dance instructors
like Vladimir and Ms Dasha perform at Alluring Ballroom’s regular
showcase dance events, I’m enthralled by how they become one with
the music, fused in their body and soul, creating a divine space as
they dance. It is my dream to dance with as much feeling and expression.
Q: What are the things you like most about Alluring Ballroom? (i.e. Teachers, Atmosphere, Location etc.) A.: In my eyes, Alluring Ballroom
is a lovely dance studio -- cozy, comfortable, and beautiful – and
neither too big nor too small. (The owner is both alluring and
demure.) More importantly, Alluring Ballroom’s primary strength is
its highly competent professional dance artists/instructors who teach
the art of ballroom dance with detailed precision, thorough technique,
and, most of all, patience. You will find them very handsome and
beautiful,
too. That’s why I drive more than one hour to take lessons here,
from Basking Ridge where I live or South Orange, Fort Lee, and NYC where
I work.
Q: Would you recommend Alluring Ballroom to your friends? Why?
A: I often tell my own students
(of international finance) that nothing is easy in this life when one
wants to do it properly. To do it properly, one must learn from
competent teachers. With enthusiasm, I recommend Alluring Ballroom
to anyone who is interested in learning how to dance properly, for these
teachers bring not mere competence but the talent and demeanor to spread
the love of dance to whomever brings enthusiasm and hard work to this
artful pursuit.

Q: What were your initial thoughts about ballroom dancing before you
began taking lessons at Alluring Ballroom Dance Studio? Were you
reluctant in any way? How do you feel after taking lessons? A:
Being older I was very reluctant to begin to take lessons. I know I needed something physical, mental and social to keep me going once my wife passed. Once I started taking lessons I was hooked as I just love the time I spend learning all the different ballroom dances and then doing them with my teacher and also other friends I have made since I started taking lessons at Alluring Ballroom. Q: What are the things you like most about Alluring Ballroom? (i.e. Teachers, Atmosphere, Location etc.) A: The things I like best about Alluring Ballroom. Everything! The teachers are great and they are very serious about making you become a good ballroom dancer. My teacher is great and she cares about wanting me to be able to do all the different ballroom dances and I go at a pace that I am able to handle being older then most of the other students. Atmosphere. Everyone is very nice and I have made so many friends and I go to the Friday Night Socials and dance with others and it is so much fun. I have done Show Cases which I never dreamed I would be able to do and doing them makes me feel so good that I am up in a cloud. I still have a long way to do with lessons, but I'm having fun along with learning something. That brings a lot of joy in my life.Q: Would you recommend Alluring Ballroom to your friends? Why?
A: I have recommended Alluring Ballroom to a lot of people as a matter of fact my Grand and his Bride to be have started taking lessons for their future wedding. What I have to say is give ballroom dancing a try and I'm sure you will see how enjoyable it is and you will see how many friends you will make at Alluring Ballroom. I love the Alluring Ballroom. |
