Karen's Ballroom Dancing & Fitness

first dance. Her knowledge of dance is incredible, and she is a wonderful, patient, nurturing teacher. I consider her a real life fairy godmother. She took any suggestions or ideas we had and helped make them a reality. Ever encouraging, she prepared us so well for the big day that as the music began my nerves dissipated and we were able to revel in the moment along with our guests. We were ambitious and started with a waltz-- the second part/second song was danced in the rumba style. At many points of our routine there were audible gasps of amazement and clapping, and even those who couldn't make the wedding have delighted in watching footage of the routine. Me and my hubby will continue dancing with Karen for as long as we are able-- when you are with her your cares float away and you feel your soul soar as you whirl and step to the music. Until the Twelfth of Never, we'll still be loving you Karen!

ing 2 left feet to feeling incredibly confident about our first dance. Karen taught us the basics first, setting a great foundation, and then helped us put together a routine. Karen is exceptional at her job and is also the sweetest human, we loved our sessions with her! 100% recommend!

ce became one of our favorite parts of the wedding process! We had a lot of fun at our lessons and Karen understood our vision perfectly. Learning a few moves helped us feel more confident and relaxed in the moment on our wedding day. We would highly recommend Karen to anyone! Thank you, Karen!!

room dance skills to having a fun and relaxing first dance that we could be confident in! Karen was easy to learn from and patient with us throughout as we slowly got the hang of our steps and learned what to do and just as importantly what not to do to look like we knew what we were doing! Dance lessons were definitely a fun break to the regular planning as the wedding approached!

from her and had a great time every class. Can't wait to go back for more lessons closer to our wedding date for private lessons for our song.

dance, without being overly choreographed or having to remember a routine. She is also a lovely person, and we really enjoyed spending time with her in the weeks leading up to the wedding. We could not have been happier with how our dance turned out, and we had a ton of fun in the moment!

. Definitely glad we went to her as she did not only taught us how to dance but she made me and my fiancé feel confident dancing our first wedding dance in front of everyone.

so, as would be expected, we ran into several speed bumps and hurdles along the way. The process was not always pleasant BUT what was always pleasant was our Thursday lessons with Karen! Karen is such a true professional. She is friendly and fun and after the very first lesson we both felt so comfortable with her. Our weekly (5 total) lessons became such a highlight of our planning process. Also, as I said we took lessons during COVID, we both felt incredibly safe at the studio and with Karen! It was such a breath of fresh air. Our dance was so much fun! It came out great and we can not wait to get the picture and video back! Thank you for everything Karen! We will be back for sure!

hey were all perfect! She caters to your individual dance levels and was a pleasure to be around. Such an enjoyable experience! Highly recommend!

ting from the basics and getting more advanced. Our guests haven’t stopped talking about the first dance! We couldn’t be any happier with Karen!

n, in a judgement free environment. I highly recommend Karen. She is a great teacher!!

d heart and not to make anyone feel embarrassed about their two left feet. I am a terrible dancer and my husband is not great as well, but Karen gave us both the confidence to dance our first dance without the fear of everyone watching us. My husband was a great leader and I learned to follow, and I can happily say our first dance was the highlight of our day. Everyone was cheering for us the whole dance, it was just an awesome experience for something that was so terrifying for me going into wedding planning. If you go with Karen you cannot go wrong!!!

ons we were ready for our first dance. Our dance instructor, Pattie, was amazing! She understood that we were beginners and showed us steps that made us comfortable and excited to dance. She was very kind, knowledgable, and patient. Our first dance was very memorable and guests continue to talk about how special it was - especially our dip at the end! One of the instructors at the studio also cut our first dance song for us, so it was exactly how we wanted it! This experience also provided us time to spend together during the busy wedding planning time. We would recommend Karen's Ballroom Dancing & Fitness to any couple looking to make their first dance a memorable one!

first dance..Karen was so sweet and nice!! She set us up with Patti who was just wonderful. Not only was she a great teacher but she was very patient and made us feel comfortable from the start. She is just a lovely person. We are so happy we chose Karen’s dance studio and would highly recommend them!!

mple and the cost for the classes was very reasonable.

the lessons fun! We also took our mom and dad for a lesson and they were also very happy with Karen. She was very flexible with our schedules and has great prices.schedules.schedules.and .hasreasonable prices. You will not be

s a separate dance for me and my father. Karen responded quickly and set us up with Pattie. Little did we know, Pattie would become a great friend, instructor and shoulder to lean on during the wedding process! My fiance and I are far from "good" dancers. We had no idea what we were doing when we started which is why we wanted to take dance lessons to begin with. We took 6 private dance classes with Pattie. She choreographed a beautiful dance for us that was truly original and fit our needs and song perfectly. My fiance Tom is very shy and hates to dance and even he ended up loving our dance classes, the outcome of our dance and even our instructor Pattie! Pattie made us both feel at ease and helped us feel confident that we could in fact dance even though we had no experience prior. She made our first dance one to remember for years to come! Our guests couldn't believe how great our dance was! Pattie also choreographed a special father/ daughter dance for me and my dad. This was not your traditional father/ daughter dance either. We started with what everyone thought was our first dance song but it quickly changed through three different fun songs (uptown funk, angel and fireball) and then it went back to the regular father/ daughter dance song. We spent many sessions with Pattie and she perfected our dance. I know that she spent countless hours and nights dancing to our song in her living room perfecting this dance for us! It was definitely a dance that people will remember. Our whole experience was so fun and well worth it! We ended up inviting Pattie to our wedding to see our first dance. She came without hesitation and cheered us on! She is truly a wonderful person to work with even if you have never had any experience dancing. I promise she will make you feel comfortable and like a true ballroom dancer!

but WOW we looked awesome. Karen is kind, caring, makes you feel extremely comfortable and really an awesome person to learn from. My dad and I are hoping to take some of her group dancing classes but with our significant others. Karen is amazing - go see her!

ght us so much to make us ready for our first dance on our wedding day! We also had a blast with her and it brought us a sense of relaxation during this crazy time of life. Would recommend her and everyone at karens ballroom, truly genuine people! :)

r studio after quickly dismissing a larger studio in the area. We ended up scheduling the first of what turned out to be quite a few lessons with her, and we are SO happy we made that choice! Karen was so patient, and created a dance for us based on our abilities. Very down to earth and personable, we felt so comfortable during our lessons with her. The lessons were affordable, and best of all, we could arrange them around our tricky work schedules. In fact, my fiancé so enjoyed this experience that we've decided we'd like to come back for some group lessons down the road. If you're thinking of taking dance lessons...this is the place to go!

well as teaching us a few other basic dance steps. She also designed another routine for the Bride and her father and offered to hold a short dance lesson at our rehearsal dinner! She was so helpful at every step of the way and managed to make a clumsy Englishman look graceful on the dance floor. We would recommend her 100% to any couples looking to make their first dance special.
