Ballroom & Wedding Dance Studio

Amazing teacher! I was always embarrassed to dance, even when hidden in the middle of a crowd in a dark room. After less than 2 months of lessons with Tom, I will confidently take my wife onto even an empty dance floor, regardless of who is watching! In looking for dancing lessons as a gift to my wife, we tried several different studios and teachers in the twin cities. After a lot of comparison, there was no contest: Tom Larson is, by far, the best teacher we met! He has a phenomenal approach that can make anyone comfortable and can totally eliminate any embarrassment (even if you have two left feet, like me). Tom started by understanding our goals and then based his lessons on what we wanted to learn. Then he quickly brought us to the point where we could can use what we learned by making us proficient and comfortable with basic, useful steps and moves. Then he built on that, refining our technique and adding skills as we were ready. Tom teaches not only "official" technique but also emphasized versatile variations to make these dances truly useful and fun! To my great surprise, we've enjoyed the lessons so much that, even after reaching our original goals, we are continuing to dance with Tom, learning more and more. What was once a source of embarrassment has become a great hobby and we have Tom to thank for that!

Tom was great to work with!! We took 5 private lessons leading up to our wedding. We choreographed some basic steps for our first dance, and people loved it. We're really glad we took classes. Thank you Tom!!

Tom was great! He made sure we knew what we were doing and looked good. We had a great wedding dance and used the moves on our honeymoon as well!!

We took dance lessons from Tom in preparation for our son's wedding. Tom is a great instructor. He is patient, knowledgeable, and made the whole experience fun. We had started lessons with a well-known dance studio. Tom far surpassed what we had learned there and increased our skills and confidence for dancing.

Tom is great! My fiancé and I went to him for help on our first dance for our wedding, and he was awesome to work with. He puts a ton of dedication into his instruction, and makes it so much fun! We finished our lessons with confidence. We highly recommend him!
