I was what you think of if you had to generalize what sort of person takes ballroom lessons. I had prior dance experience. I watched dance shows and movies religiously. I went out dancing without knowing what I was doing. I was \u201cthat girl,\u201d \u201cthe dancer.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Most people who come into our studio aren\u2019t dancers and haven\u2019t had any prior dance experience, especially in ballroom. So what made them step through our doors?<\/p>\n<p>LeAnn and her husband have been taking lessons since August 2012. She says, \u201cIt all started with a Kindle; I gave Ed a Kindle for Christmas. After registering it, he started to receive Groupon notices. He captured a picture of the Fred Astaire Groupon and emailed it to me, asking if I was interested. I responded by asking, \u2018who are you and what have you done with my husband?\u2019\u00a0 My true response was a resounding, YES!\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Bill came in to learn to dance for the father-daughter dance for his daughter\u2019s wedding. Another student signed up for lessons as a gift for his fianc\u00e9e. She had mentioned a few times that she wanted to try different types of formal dances.\u00a0 Because he likes to try and surprise her, he thought it would be a great gift.<\/p>\n<p>Why do you want to learn how to dance?
