When did you start dancing?

I started learning ballroom dancing around 12 for cotillion and debutante parties in my teens.  However it was two years ago when my wife Catherine asked to start ballroom and we have been hooked.

What inspired you to start dancing?

My Wife Catherine, passion. Being retired we have time. 

Favorite dance or dances?

We fell in love with Argentine tango on a trip to Argentina and we were thrilled to learn Marcia taught the dance.  We also like Rumba Bolero the Waltz.  There is really not a dance we dislike.

What classes and events have you joined?

Everything!

What do you enjoy about dancing at Revolution Ballroom?

Marcia is a great teacher and a great community of people.

What benefits has dance brought to your life?

A total mind body exercise and happy community of people to socialize with.

Is there anything that surprised you about the process of learning to dance?

The levels of challenge.  You can get as involved or relaxed as you wish.

What would you say to people who would like to learn to dance but are a bit nervous about giving it a try?

I have seen many people who come to Marcia nervous. However everyone, and I mean everyone, lights up with delight when they dance. I believe there is a dancer in everyone.  It is happy and joyful experience.
