Looking for a date idea? Look no further. I booked a Date Night for me and my partner and it was the best decision ! We decided to celebrate Valentine's Day early. Lee was so patient and really helped all of us break the ice. My partner has experience in playing the guitar and Lee connected that with the dance which was helpful. Will be booking another class with him in the future ! read more

I appreciate Lee's communication, and how he makes a real effort to cater his instruction to each of his students' dancing and coordination levels. My wife and I greatly enjoyed our date night in his private studio, where we were able to experience a private lesson in an air conditioned and safe space. Dress up, bring adult beverages, and dance, you're in good hands. read more

My now husband and I were admittedly very last minute planners re: our wedding and realized we needed dance lessons asap a month out from our wedding date! Lee is such a gem of a human to work with, he's friendly, understanding, flexible and of course just a wonderful teacher. He made dance lessons feel like a fabulous date night and we went into our wedding feeling confident! read more

Similar to other reviews I've seen, my wife and I were late to getting dance lessons. We admittedly have mutual pairs of left feet, and knew we needed lessons, but got swept up in planning all of the other details. We found Lee at Beginning Ballroom approx. 1 month out from the wedding (right in the most stressful time!). Lee was great in getting us ready to go. Over that month, Lee worked his schedule around us and made sure we could get in all of the lessons we wished. Most of all, it is clear that Lee cares about his wedding couples and wants them to get out of his lessons the things they need to pull off a brilliant first dance. My personal recommendation would be to start working with Lee early, because you won't regret it, and he can turn the worst dancer into a wonderful one. But if you're reading this thinking you only have a month to go, don't hesitate to ask Lee to save the day -- he will. read more

We had the best time for a date night! Lee is a walking (and dancing) one-man comedy show. We learned how to merengue and had a blast. Really unique, affordable, no-frills, high quality, and flexible opportunity to try dancing from a professional without having to commit to a program or subscription. A nice plus is if you live in the vicinity of Belvedere Square area, you can easily walk here and then go out to eat/drink in the area afterwards. We will definitely be back!! read more

My experience with beggining ballroom has been phenomenal! My fiancé and I decided to take 10 sessions but started off with group sessions. Both were important to build confidence in our dancing. I would highly recommend begging ballroom to anyone preparing for a wedding or to those couples who would like to add a new hobby that can last a lifetime! read more

My husband and I took dance lessons from Beginning Ballroom prior to our wedding. We had a great time learning not only a great selection of moves for our first dance, a foxtrot, but also the steps to several other dances including swing, the waltz, rhumba, and even salsa. Beginning ballroom's private lessons were a great break from wedding planning where we could just focus on spending time together and having fun. In fact, we enjoyed the lessons so much that we continued even after our wedding! We had a wonderful time dancing throughout our wedding and had many guests come up to complement us on how great our first dance was. In addition, now that we know how to dance, we have much more fun at weddings and other events where there is dancing. Beginning Ballroom has a great atmosphere for learning to dance. They are really willing to tailor your lessons to what you want, be that to learn a number of different steps, or learn and polish a dance for your wedding. read more

My husband and I had a great time taking lessons with Lee in the months leading up to our June 2015 wedding. Not only was Lee super responsive, but also very accommodating with our crazy hectic schedules. I loved how we were taught a variety of moves, so while our first dance was not choreographed, it flowed effortlessly. Our wedding guests raved about our first dance. Reflecting on everything we did to prepare for the wedding, taking dancing lessons was one of the most relaxing and fun preparations we did. I would highly recommend Lee and Christine to other wedding couples, in addition to people looking to learn how to dance. Thank you, Lee! Blayne and Liz read more

My fiancé and I took lessons for wedding prep. Ended up doing about 5 months of lessons! What a great experience! Perfect for date nights.

My wife and I took a first dance crash course at Beginning Ballroom in preparation for our wedding last May. We had a great time. It was a lot more fun than I thought it was going to be. Lee was very knowledgeable, patient, and consistently made himself available to accommodate our very busy schedules. I'd definitely recommend them to anyone looking for private lessons or group instruction. read more

My husband and I were married 12/31/12, and I wanted to have a first dance that was more than just swaying in a circle. My husband is not so coordinated when it comes to dancing and was reluctant about a fancy dance. After several lessons with a patient, enthusiastic and encouraging Lee, we had an amazing fist dance. Lee was able to break down the steps in various ways until it clicked. He was also very flexible with lesson times, as we are both physicians and have crazy schedules. Lessons were also a great way to connect and spend time with my husband without directly talking about the wedding. We did take a short four week group class, which was great as well. We are thinking about continuing the group lessons just for fun read more

I am so glad we found Lee and Christine at Beginning Ballroom! He helped both my dad and I for the father-daughter dance, and my husband and I for our first dance. By spending time learning these dances, the dances at our wedding became a very memorable, meaningful, and fun moment in our wedding -- and we come away with a skill we will always have! Lee was incredibly flexible in working with our schedules so we had time for lessons- even offering to have emergency FaceTime sessions. We will always be grateful for his instruction and already miss the weekly sessions at his house! read more

We hired two dance instructors to come to my daughter's wedding reception and dance with our guests. The instructors were friendly, fun and wonderful to dance with. We received rave reviews from our guests. We all had so much more fun at the reception because these instructors were there. We highly recommend them to add extra fun to any event. read more

My fiancé and I have taken both group and individual classes as a way to prepare for our Wedding. Lee is a knowledgable instructor, teaching a variety of dances. Neither of us are particularly "good" dancers, but Lee was very patient and encouraging throughout the entire process. He invests a lot of time and energy into his students success and makes it a fun experience for all. I would highly recommend Beginning Ballroom to any couple or individual! read more

My husband and I wanted to take lessons for our 1st dance at our wedding on 5/21/2016. I found Lee and Christine after a quick search for dance lessons. We couldn't be any happier! We attended some group but found the private lessons suited us best. They are so welcoming and work with you through everything. Lee was upfront about what we could achieve with the lessons we had which I really appreciated. We wanted to avoid the "prom sway". They did a great job of making us feel comfortable and we enjoyed our lessons each week! I highly recommend them. We loved it so much, we want to keep up with the lessons. read more

My husband and I were scrambling weeks before our wedding to find a dance class that would work with our hectic schedules. My wedding planner recommended Beginning Ballroom and I can't thank her enough. Lee was extremely accommodating to our schedules and we only had two weeks to work with before our big day. We explained that we weren't expecting miracles, but wanted our first dance to at least be a few steps above a 6th grade graduation dance with the typical swaying back and forth. We definitely received that and more. My husband has never been comfortable dancing and Lee made him feel at ease. He had a great way of explaining every move in terms that he could understand and had great feedback throughout the lessons. It also helps that he is very personable and easy to see that he truly enjoys his job. He has inspired me to get back into dancing myself and I see more lessons for us in the future. read more
