"My husband and I have three children and 
decided it was time to have something just for us. We knew that one day the kids would be out of the house (woo-hoo) and wanted to be sure we had something to talk about – or do. My some what quiet hubby came home one day with a wild idea that we take dance lessons. I, of course, was all over it and jumped online. The first thing that we liked about DanceSport was the website – everyone looked warm, friendly and like they were having the time of their life.
We’ve been taking private lessons from Elizabeth for almost 10 months and have enjoyed every minute of it. She’s a wonderful instructor and extremely patient. We have two left feet and not a lot of rhythm, but she’s been able to get us to move around the dance floor with a little bit of grace and a whole lot of fun. She will break down steps to the tiniest move and review as often as we need it. Elizabeth has created an enjoyable experience for us and we look forward to all the lessons to come."

"I'm a guy that loves golfing, Pittsburgh Steelers football, NASCAR Racing and Ballroom Dancing... that's right, I said Ballroom Dancing. In December of 2008 my wife and I decided that we would try Ballroom Dance to spend some more time together outside of 
our everyday, hectic lives. Now, only six months later, going to private and group lessons is one of the highlights of our week. It's probably hard for you to believe, because it is hard for us to believe, but in less than six months we have totally immersed ourselves in dancing and even won the “Top Bronze” award in our first competition (Southern Paradise Ball).
Elizabeth is our instructor and we feel like we have been blessed to learn from her... but it doesn't matter what instructor you have at DanceSport Carolina, we have danced with them all and EVERY ONE is a true professional that makes dancing easier than you will ever imagine. The way I see it you have a couple options. You can listen to your friends and coworkers who tell you that “real guys don't dance" or you can try it and spend two to four nights a week holding your spouse, forgetting all the things that normally stress you out and getting closer to your partner than you have been in years. I know that we are glad we chose the second option and can't wait for our next class."

"Forget any perceived ideas you may have about ballroom dancing. You know what I’m talking about: cheesy Lawrence Welk music, instructors who give fake hugs and air kisses, 
students who look like they haven’t seen the light of day in years, etc. That’s just scary! Oh, it’s out there all right if that’s what you’re looking for – just not at DanceSport Carolina. At DanceSport Carolina you’ll find excellent instructors. They realize that this is your first exposure to ballroom dancing, and they have created an environment which empowers you to get the most of your time in the studio. They want you to share their love of dancing, not just teach you the dance steps.
Russ and I began dancing in October of last year. We were unsure of ourselves at first. Thomas was very patient and attentive to our fears and frustrations. Of course, we quickly became disheartened that we weren’t immediately “dancing like the stars”. We would have quit if it weren’t for Thomas convincing us that we could do it. He could see that we really did love to dance together, we just couldn’t do it well - yet! We stuck with it and are thoroughly enjoying ourselves now. Come join us and dance like no one else is watching – after all, that’s what life is all about."

"I've played a lot of sports in my life: volleyball, field hockey, swimming, horsebackriding, just to name a few. I can honestly say that I haven't enjoyed any of them as much as I enjoy dancing at DanceSport Carolina! I have only been dancing for about 8 months but with the help of my wonderful instructor, Tom, I have learned so much already! I always 
enjoy going to my private lessons, which are at a great time, so they work well with my busy schedule. Group lessons are also a lot of fun because there is such a wonderful sense of camaraderie amongst all of us that I really look forward to going to class! Since joining DanceSport Carolina, I have made tons of new friends!
You may not think dancing is for you, but I urge you to come along and try it! I can't begin to tell you how much I have learned. I recently competed in my first competition. It was nerve racking but a wonderful experience and very rewarding! All the DSC instructors are fantastic and they all have a passion (not to mention amazing talent) for dancing that comes through in their work with their students. Everyone who entered the competition had a great time and those who didn't enter came to cheer us on! This just demonstrates the wonderful sense of commmunity we have at DSC. I strongly recommend dancing to everyone! You won't regret it!"

"If anyone would have asked me two years ago if I would be taking ballroom dance 
lessons and participating in DanceSport competitions, I would have said they were crazy! I originally took up dancing just to try something new. I wasn’t sure how long I would stick with it. A week? A month?. I can honestly say now, I thoroughly enjoy it and it was one of the best decisions I’ve made.
I could not have asked for a better teacher than Elizabeth. She knows just when to push and is right there with me increasing my skills to the next level. If I’m not on top of my game, she draws out my better side every time. I’ve had many coaches and teachers throughout my life and she definitely tops the list.
I’ve always been very competitive: in high school sports, the Army, and Business. Dancesport Carolina has allowed me to channel that competitiveness into a healthy past time, develop relationships, and acquire a skill I never thought I was capable of."

"I had thought about taking ballroom dancing lessons for years yet I was unsure about how to find a quality studio. Before I called to schedule my initial appointment I almost talked myself out of it thinking that I was too old to learn to dance or that I needed to be 
part of a couple. As soon as I walked into the Dancesport Carolina studio I knew I had found the perfect environment in which to pursue ballroom dancing lessons. Thomas, Elizabeth and the entire Dancesport Carolina staff are professional, positive and consistently make you feel welcome and at ease. I couldn't ask for a more talented and passionate instructor than Tony. He is extremely enthusiastic, encouraging and patient. He continues to challenge me with technique and choreography yet continues to keep the lessons interesting and fun.
When Tony first mentioned participating in a ballroom dancing competition I immediately thought that it would be impossible for me to advance to a competitive level. He not only eliminated my apprehension and fear he also prepared me to compete in several ballroom dancing competitions. I continue to be amazed at the progress that I make and the encouragement that Tony continues to provide. He is an excellent instructor! In addition to private lessons, I also enjoy participating in the group lessons. Group lessons offer an opportunity to meet other students and learn new routines. I look forward to the Friday night dances. They are always fun and allow you to practice your dancing skills in a relaxed, friendly and safe atmosphere. An extra added bonus of ballroom dancing is that it's a great form of exercise yet it's so much fun you don't realize that you're actually exercising! Dancesport Carolina continues to exceed my expectations! I continue to be impressed. I highly recommend Dancesport Carolina to anyone at any age or any skill level."

"When talking about DanceSport Carolina, your talking simply the best!
I come to DanceSport Carolina in a time called BD (that's 'Before Dancing!'). Looking to learn some spicy latin moves, I found a little spice and was warmly welcomed to a new 
horizon like Rumba, Waltz, Swing, Mambo and many more! I found I loved them all! Speaking of love...
That's exactly how my teacher Elizabeth, aka Lizzie, teaches. She is the definition of passion and doing what you love to do. It shows in her smiling, warm welcome and shines in her fun energetic teaching and definitly when she dances! The most important thing is that she drops a little speck of her dancing light on me which has helped me see and have a path to many good laughes, great stories and of course polishing up on shaking the booty! Believe me it's a workout! Hey, you got to love it! I do! So come and connect to a great atmosphere at DSC! It will be a blessing for your mind, body and spirit! You will surely be dancing with the stars (AD)!"

"If you're looking for a ballroom dance studio then look no further; you've found the perfect place at DanceSport Carolina. Easy to get to location, beautiful studio and a fabulous staff! Bradley is my private instuctor and I couldn't ask for a better teacher. His passion for dance is quite contagious and he has unending patience. Just got my husband to take a couple of lessons with me, and now we're going to start taking couples lessons as well. In his words, "It's a very non-threatening environment and actually quite fun." Whether you're looking to learn social dancing, meet people, exercise, or want to compete, DanceSport Carolina covers it all!?"

"We were looking for a hobby to do together and decided on dancing. We both have enjoyed dancing our entire lives, specifically Shag and club dancing, but wanted formal
training. We began taking lessons at another place and were not happy with the results. We gave it one more try at DanceSport Carolina and could not be happier.
Elizabeth is our private dance instructor and was very quick to adapt her teaching style to our learning style. She makes sure that we not only work on the overall dance but the minute details of technique because she understands that one of our goals is to be technical dancers. Elizabeth listened to what we wanted to accomplish and that is the biggest reason why we enjoy lessons at DanceSport Carolina. The other instructors also listen to our conversations and are very helpful in guiding us to group lessons to fit what we want to do. I encourage anyone that is looking to try ballroom dancing to visit DanceSport Carolina and ask to work with Elizabeth."

"For me, Ballroom Dancing is SO MUCH FUN! I've always enjoyed dancing, but ballroom is refreshing, different and a real challenge. There's always a new step to learn (the Latin dances are my favorite!). Ballroom dancing is a fun social interaction with an interesting group of people, good exercise, and a stress melter to boot. I couldn't ask for a better teacher than Tom, who is enthusiastic, encouraging and extremely patient....even when you step on his feet!!
Tom has a passion for dancing and his talent is amazing. I feel fortunate to have a teacher who focuses on technique and detail because that's what makes the dances look so good! I really can't believe how much I've learned in a relatively short period of time (3-4 months). Ballroom dancing is a blast....even at the beginner stage...can't wait to learn more. I strongly recommend it...any age.....any stage!"

year, I was looking for an outlet to do something I enjoy and get some exercise. I began taking lessons with DanceSport Carolina in March and it was the best decision I made. I have SO much fun and every time I have gone to the studio, I walk out feeling great.
