Testimonials

Before starting our lessons with Penrith Ballroom Dance in late 2005 we were apprehensive and somewhat nervous. We did not know the difference between a rumba, samba or cha cha cha. Even foxtrot, waltz and quickstep were just names of dances we had seen in crosswords. However, at our first lesson we were warmly welcomed and found how easy it was to take our first steps ... literally.

We find Therese's teaching style to be highly professional and extremely competent. She has developed us to where we can confidently take on various dancing challenges ... socially and under examination conditions.

We highly recommend anybody to attend either the Penrith Ballroom Dance private lessons or join the scheduled group classes.

My fiance loves to dance, whereas I could not, and she wanted to dance at our wedding, not just stand there and sway.

Before we started our lessons I didn't think it would be possible for me to learn to dance, until I met the principal of Penrith Ballroom Dance. I said to my fiance that she doesn't know how lucky she was to find a teacher like Therese. Therese not only made me feel comfortable, but I actually enjoyed having lessons, so it was easy to continue.

We danced at our wedding with confidence, totally dumbfounding our guests, something I never thought would happen. Thank you Penrith Ballroom Dance and in particular - Therese!

In my experience, learning to dance at Penrith Ballroom Dance has been fantastic. I first joined the studio when I was 12 years old and took part in the children's beginners class. I worked hard and enjoyed every moment of it, progressing through the years and the medals.

I am now 16 years old and I have come so far with my dancing skills since that first day that I now have a private lesson of my own each week and have had the wonderful opportunity to assist my teacher with the children's classes every week. In doing so I have had the opportunity to learn the man's steps as well as the lady's and have been given the experience of partnering the children in their medal tests.

My lessons are very fulfilling and each week I walk away feeling like I have 'conquered' a particular step or dance. I can only look forward to what I am about to learn next. I joined Penrith Ballroom Dance not knowing anybody, but quickly found myself at home with the friendly, fun but professional environment. I have found the teaching style at the studio to be dedicated and progressive. I look forward to every lesson and have grown to love ballroom dancing through my experience at Penrith Ballroom Dance.
