English Language Institute Student Testimonial: We have been taking Ballroom Dance for over three years and have progressed a great deal from where we started. We thoroughly enjoy dancing. We get the time together, and when we complete dance steps, there is a feeling of accomplishment and teamwork. Dancing gives us another focus that is varied from dinner or watching movies together.
