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.”

The dances at the Art Bar in Kingston are my favorite because of the atmosphere.

"I attended my first dance after only three lessons and had a blast. Everyone asked me to dance and helped me with the moves since I was so new to swing dance.

The people are so friendly and welcoming. Swing dance is so much fun, I cannot wait for the next dance.

And your Monday night classes are the highlight of my week! I actually look forward to Mondays now! I'm so glad that I found your dance lessons on Meet Up. Even my 10-year-old granddaughter wants to take lessons now."
