I was terrified to attend my first dance alone, even paced outside the building until Linda happened to see me outside and stopped to chat. 

"When I expressed my fear of walking in alone, she took my arm so we could walk in together. That simple action changed my life and started a whole new world of dance friends that I couldn't even imagine.

As a widow with both children on their own, and retirement quickly approaching, I had no idea what to do to enhance my social life! That dance, that night, and the lessons with Linda and Chester answered that question for me.”
