New 6/30/04: New listings in Alabama, California, Florida, Michigan, New Jersey, New York, Pennsylvania, and Virginia. Also Paris, France.

Scroll down for links, but please read the paragraphs above and below first (to save me time in responding to e-mailed questions for which I have no answer). Beginning this year (2004), I'm dating new listings with the month/year in which they were added. For earlier listings, you're on your own, since I have no idea when I first added them.

Please note: The teachers here are recommended by your fellow adult dance students, and are reported to be especially attentive and inspiring to older dancers.

Some of the listings are quite old; I've been collecting them since 1997. Before you send me an angry e-mail complaining that something's not up-to-date or that a listed studio is now closed, remember that I provide this list as a free service; therefore, I do not perform comprehensive updates to this list. Listings are updated only when a site visitor advises me of a change.

A few studios on this list smack of Dolly Dinkle, but I think they fill a need for some students. I try to weed out recommendations that I suspect come from, let us say, very close friends of the teachers involved. But I also feel that even a not-so-good dance class may be better than no dance class at all. If you know of a studio that you feel is grossly misrepresented here, please let me know.

An international list of dance teachers recommended by their adult students
•Last updated 30 June 2004

I have no further information beyond what is listed here, and update the list as time permits (usually a few times a year). If you're looking for a teacher in your area, please bookmark this page and check back periodically.

If you notice a typo, or something that needs updating, please let me know! Filling in with full addresses, proximity to large cities, or additional information about any of the studios is especially welcome.
