Here's what some of our students have to say:
We have been dancing for about three years, and because of Dance Charisma with Eileen we look forward to many more. The Wednesday night lesson and social is a great time for all, from beginners to the more advanced. There is a professional atmosphere but certainly no shortage of laughter. Eileen teaching with patience and precision combined with her dedication makes for a very comfortable dance experience. Thanks for the memories!
Bill and Ilona
Eileen has been successful in creating a warm, pleasant and inviting environment for all dancers at her studio, Dance Charisma. Her style and approach is one of friendship and caring, with a genuine sense of happiness and humor.
She is a structured, professional instructor for either social or competitive dancing. Attitudes are left at the door. A sense of family and camaraderie has been fostered by Eileen.
We would strongly recommend one and all to stop by and share the Dance Charisma experience, whether you are visiting or local, especially on Wednesday nights which includes a beginner/intermediate lesson combined with social dancing afterwards. The interaction and mingling is such that we hardly miss a Wednesday evening.
George and Judy
Like, no doubt, a lot of men I began my sojourn into ballroom dancing at the behest of my wife who, unlike me, is somewhat of a natural and loves the whole concept of dancing. So I went with a crust of skepticism fueled by a palpable lack of skill and self confidence. What I discovered, however, was amazing!
That the world of dance is vast I perhaps realized at some level, but that I could actually learn this was a surprise every bit as much as it has been a joy. My good fortune was finding Eileen Walden's, Dance Charisma. Eileen's approach is both informal and fun. Her studio offers both group and private lessons and participating in both provides an easy overview followed-up by closer, and in my view, valuable one-on-one instruction. This combination allows one to learn not only the mechanics of a particular dance step but the nuance as well.
Eileen is a marvelous instructor. She has the rare talent of being able to explain the same concept several different ways which enables her teaching to resonate on many different levels. Eileen Walden is a top professional, a gifted teacher, and the nicest of people. Under her tutelage even guys like me can learn... and have a great time doing it!
