My dancing started right out of college in 1981 (yes, that long ago) and over the years what I enjoy most about teaching is seeing how much joy it brings into people’s lives much the same as it has done for me.  Even though I concentrate on keeping our club running at a very high level, like a country club, I still enjoy teaching students and classes whenever I can.

Even though I love all the dances my favorite by far is the Foxtrot.  If I could have dinner with anyone I would actually like to have a banquet with all my past relatives.  That would be so cool!  When I am not at the club I like to spend time working on my landscaping and seeing how I can make it better.  I do not have any special vacation spot, but anywhere would be great as long as my wife is there.

Although I enjoy all the dances, swing is my dance of choice.  Having just become a new grandmother, I love to spend time with my granddaughter, Mia.  A couple of my hobbies are reading and writing poetry.  My favorite color is emerald green and my favorite vacation spot is Napa Valley, California.  What I love most about teaching ballroom dancing is seeing the joy on the faces of students who came in to learn and then achieve their goals. 

The person I would most like to have dinner with (dead or alive) is my dad.  I have a cat named Smoochie and he is one, big, boy that I love.  I was born and raised in Bayonne, New Jersey, but my family is from Lithuania and Germany.  My idea of an ideal weekend is a mountain retreat, great food and great wine with my husband.  Want to go?!

I was born in Hoboken, New Jersey, but have been living in the Poconos for over 10 years. Some of my hobbies are playing any sport and listening to music. I really love contemporary music as well as jazz, emo rock and indie rock. Some of my favorite groups are Thursday, Copeland, Sensefail and Brand New.

My favorite vacation spot would have to be Los Angeles in California and a perfect weekend would be my friends and I hanging out to spend time together. One of my special interests is art, mostly photographic.
I sometimes take pictures of my cat named Spaghetti while eating my favorite candy, Hershey's Cookie & Cream bar.

The three words that best describe me are; quiet, sarcastic (dry humor), and caring.  Though I was born and raised in Little Ferry, New Jersey my family is from the Bronx.  We moved to Pennsylvania in 1993 and I have two GREAT girls, Toni-Lyn and Maddi.  We have a bunny called Sunny and is he spoiled!  My pet peeve is people who say I can’t.  A perfect weekend for me would be spending time with family and as far as my favorite candy, there are way too many to list.  When you come into our dance club ask me and I will show you a picture of Sunny the bunny!

Other than teaching dance, some of my other talents are cooking, writing, and painting.  The three words that would best describe me are energetic, charismatic and extroverted.  Lastly, when you come to our wonderful club, feel free to bring me my favorite candy, chocolate covered almonds.

I grew up in a European household in the Poconos, but attended schools in Prague, Czech Republic. I've also traveled extensively through Italy, Spain, England, France, Poland, Germany, Egypt and the Canary Islands. My favorite vacation spot would have to be the Canary Islands. It was the most beautiful experience so far. I love hiking, drawing and playing sports. Oldies and pop are my top two favorites in music and the artists I enjoy are Jem, Johnny Cash, Elvis, Bob Marley and Frank Sinatra.

I really love teaching ballroom dance because it is passionate yet fierce, romantic yet very sexy. I enjoy releasing hidden emotions from people. Dance also teaches confidence and I love helping others achieve that quality in themselves.

I find myself to be bubbly, cheerful and charismatic so my pet peeve is people who forget how to love. My perfect weekend would be a get together with friends and family, lots of music and little bit of that "special " juice.
Stop by sometime and say hello - maybe we could have a dance or two!

I really love teaching ballroom dancing because I love music, moving to it and being able to watch people gain the same passion for it that I have. Stop into the studio sometime and I'll show you my charm and energy which I know you'll agree is awesome!
