I accidentally stumbled on one of Erin's ads on Craig's Listand it's the best happy accident that's ever happened to me. I have been taking ballroom dancing lessons from her for 6 months now, and at this point I don't think I am ever going to stop. Her concept (quality lessons at an affordable price in the privacy of your home) was perfect for me, When I went to a large studio (I've tried several) I was always embarrassed and I never felt that I got enough attention to get better. Her one-on-one method is exactly what I needed. What I particularly like about her approach is that not only is she wonderfully knowledgable about dance techniqueshe also understands the history, the culture, and the overall context of it. As she explains all this, you get how the whole dance world comes together. Her enthusiasm, her optimism, her expertise, and her confidence-inspiring approach all come together to make the 45 minute lessons go by in a flash. And her willingness to plan dance outings for her students (to "Mid-summer Night's Swing" and the 92nd Street Y, for example) are a tremendous help in understanding how to transfer what's learned in lessons to "real dance floor experiences." The progress I am making and the knowledge I am gaining are combining to open up a whole new world to methat's interesting, enlightening, and a bunch of fun! To my best friends this Christmas I am giving gift certificates to Start Dancing!
Pros: An incredibly knowledgable and wonderfully confidence-inspiring teacher—all in your own home!
