About
We love introducing people to the world of Ballroom, Latin, and Swing dancing! And helping those with the basics to grow their skills for greater competency through refining their skills and technique. We offer group and private lessons in the beautiful Pacific Northwest. Group classes typically are offered at The Vancouver Fitness Studio, Clark College Community Ed, and Longview's McClelland Center Parks & Recs. We also teach lessons at dances in North Portland and Vancouver. Joseph has been teaching ballroom dancing all his adult life and Julieann has for 12+ years. Our base for PRIVATE LESSONS are in VANCOUVER, WA 98662, just east of I205. Private lessons are a great way to begin learning the rules of dance etiquette, partner hold and movement, and steps in a variety of dances. Away from the distraction of people, music, and partner rotation of group classes, students are emboldened to focus on the fundamentals. And, in the private setting, we, as instructors, can discover quickly what changes are needed to guarantee your success on the dance floor! Our students tell us that our classes are the most fun and easily understood in the entire Portland/ Vancouver metro area. As a result, we enjoy deep satisfaction in knowing 1000s of people have grown in their skills in social dancing and are enjoying all of the benefits. We look forward to assisting you in the wonderful world of dance! Happy Dancing, Julieann and Joseph Platt

Julieann helped us choreograph a first dance for our wedding! She took time to prepare before and in-between our lessons, making specific recommendations based on the song, our preferences and style. She thoughtfully helped us iron out key areas so that we looked polished and felt comfortable and confident. Plus she is so much fun to work with! Highly recommend.

Details: Two (ex. me and my partner) • First dance • What my teacher recommends • No, I do not have choreography in mind • No experience • At the pro’s location

We absolutely loved our session! It was so much fun that we ended up booking two more. The instructor was incredibly attentive, really listened to our vision, and helped us start creating the perfect first dance for our wedding. It was such a magical experience—now we can’t wait to show our friends what we’ve been working on!

Details: Two (ex. me and my partner) • First dance • Slow Dance • Latin • No, I do not have choreography in mind • Beginner • At the pro’s location • My home, venue, etc.
