Promenade is just a great studio, and my teachers, Tricia and Espie, were amazing. I needed to learn a couple of moves to be able to dance with my girlfriend who already knew how to dance. I didn't like that she could dance with other people, but not me, and we had a Christmas party to go to with her work. So, I called a few studios, and believe it or not, Promenade was the only one who actually answered my questions and helped to through the process and let me know what to expect. That's why I booked with them. Katelyn was great on the phone and in greeting me, and made me feel completely at home. I had Tricia for my first lesson, and she showed me a few steps to the salsa and swing. My girlfriend already knew how to salsa dance, so it was important for me to know if I was going to be able to sufficiently dance with her. Tricia put me at ease with that. I travel a lot for work, so I must have been a scheduling nightmare, but Tricia was great in accommodating me for when I was in town. Morning lessons, weekend lessons, and night lessons. After I got a little more confidence that I know the steps, I started going to the salsa group class that Espie taught. It was good to be able to dance with other people and learn that I'm not the only one who is self-conscious! It was great learning some more moves and build more confidence. I did about 10 lessons at first and then a few more to cram before my Christmas party. The end of the story is that my girlfriend was shocked and said it was the best thing that any man had ever done for her. I was still a newbie, but the party went great, and I did achieve a goal I really didn't know if I could. I loved the whole experience and how the really accommodated my needs.
