Testimonials

"I first attended Chance Dance Centre in April of 2008. Sergey was going to teach me how to ballroom dance, I had never dance before! I enjoy the fact my lessons are private and that there is not audience until I am ready for one... I continue to learn and I enjoy DANCING and although sometimes frusterated with the lessons being taught to me decide to keep dancing because the instructors help me by encouraging me and I still have fun dancing and I feel like I have been taught a lot. In just 8-9 months I have participated in 2 events: The grand Opening and an Open House. I've enjoyed the time that I've spent and plan to continue taking lessons to reach my full potential. Both Sergey and Renata are very helpful in helping me reach my goals and if I don't understand something they help me to the best of their ability and have always been very helpful." 24, January, 2009 Erica Watson
