We are happy to announce the addition of Ballroom Dance to our curriculum & to welcome Sandra Wunderlich, Ballroom Dance Educator, to our studio! Sandra is an award winning ballroom dancer & teacher, and her enthusiasm for dance is contagious.

These are great classes for students of all ages, including adults! Our classes are for the whole family: Father/Daughter; Mother/Son; Individuals from 7yrs to adult; and Brides & Grooms who are preparing for the big day! Read on to learn more. . .

Sandra is a recent transplant to Alaska from Arizona. She's taught dance and managed dance studios in Minnesota & Wisconsin. She is a professional dance educator who has won numerous ballroom dance top teacher awards and she is an accredited member of NDCA and US Terpsichore Association.

Sandra began dancing ballet at age 8 and became a member of the Markaroff children’s ballet. She was a dance major at the University of Wisconsin Milwaukee before becoming a Mid-United States Ballroom Dance Champion. Her dream is to teach the world to dance and create a community of ballroom dance for the whole family to enjoy.

In this introductory class, students will learn 4 of the most popular dances: the Waltz; Foxtrot; Swing; and Salsa. No partner is required to attend this class, only an open mind and interest in having fun while you learn. This is a great class to get the whole family involved in dance! If you are a Mother/Son or Father/Daughter partnership, just enroll in the class appropriate to the age of your child.

Students will be taught the history of each dance, where to use the dance and to what kind of music. Students will also learn how to ask a partner for a dance and how to accept a dance. How to lead and follow a dance requires each partner to do their part. The leader must decide what steps to do according to the music and the follower must respond. This is why students will learn each step by themselves first before dancing with a partner. Introduction to Ballroom Dance will give students the tools they'll need to progress as a social dancer: Steps, Lead/Follow and Timing. All while having fun and meeting new people!
