Introduction
We love introducing people to the world of Ballroom, Latin, and Swing dancing! And helping those with the basics to grow their skills for greater competency through refining their skills and technique. We offer group and private lessons in the beautiful Pacific Northwest. Group classes typically are offered at The Vancouver Fitness Studio, Clark College Community Ed, and Longview's McClelland Center Parks & Recs. We also teach lessons at dances in North Portland and Vancouver. Joseph has been teaching ballroom dancing all his adult life and Julieann has for 12+ years. Our base for PRIVATE LESSONS are in VANCOUVER, WA 98662, just east of I205. Private lessons are a great way to begin learning the rules of dance etiquette, partner hold and movement, and steps in a variety of dances. Away from the distraction of people, music, and partner rotation of group classes, students are emboldened to focus on the fundamentals. And, in the private setting, we, as instructors, can discover quickly what changes are needed to guarantee your success on the dance floor! Our students tell us that our classes are the most fun and easily understood in the entire Portland/ Vancouver metro area. As a result, we enjoy deep satisfaction in knowing 1000s of people have grown in their skills in social dancing and are enjoying all of the benefits. We look forward to assisting you in the wonderful world of dance! Happy Dancing, Julieann and Joseph Platt

Julieann is a wonderful dance instructor!! She has a great personality, is very patient with new dancers, and creates a fun learning environment. She listens to her customers and helps them translate a vision into reality. I initially signed up for lessons with the goal of learning a dance for my wedding, and now my fiance and I are learning more dance moves because we enjoy Julieann as a dance instructor so much!! Highly recommend!

Julieann is amazing. We scheduled our lesson very last minute before our wedding and chose a more advanced song to dance to out of ignorance. Julieann rose to the challenge and came up with an approachable choreography and then equipped us with the ability to handle it. She is an excellent teacher and will give you both the tools and confidence you need to dance. She's also professional and incredibly responsive. If you need dance lessons, book with Julieann.

Julieann is amazing! We contacted her to teach us how to dance only 4 weeks before our wedding date and she was more than up for the challenge. We walked away with a beautifully choreographed dance that is sure to stun our guests! We had such a great experience that we plan to continue taking dance lessons even after our wedding day.

Thank you for taking time to write a review, Katrina. Great to meet you and Jesse. So happy for you both that you are embarking your married lives as Dancers! I know you will be busy raising children, which is wonderful, but hopefully learning to dance together as a couple will be one of the fun hobbies that you do together. Congratulations on learning Your Wedding Dance! Best Wishes, Julieann
