John Martin is the most talented and perceptive dance instructor either my wife or I have ever had the pleasure of training under. In 2003 I was a clumsy single man who had played all the guy sports, but the most coordinated exercise I had ever done for my feet was running through the tires in High school football.I wasnt sure John could teach me enough to look coordinated, but he has some very unique and effective training methods that allowed me to quickly start to enjoy dancing. So I started with attending Johns practice dance, where a beautiful Miss Terry first asked me to dance. I was so nervous because Terry was an advanced dancer dancing with me a beginner, but I focused on what John had taught.My newfound enjoyment of dancing caused me to continue to attend dances, and I would see Terry at these dances and she sometimes danced with me. As I took more of Johns lessons, I advanced rather quickly, and we danced together more often. 8 months later Terry and married and we still look forward to taking Johns lessons as time permits. Johns instructions act like a tune up which allows us to have so much more enjoyment on our Saturday night dates when we go dancing and fall in love again each time we dance.Weve tried many dance instructors in the past 16 years, but appreciate Johns superior dance instructors talent. We still enjoy his lessons as our schedule allows, and recommend Social Elegance to anyone who wants to learn to dance quickly, easily, and elegantly. Hes the best!

John is so wonderful and patient. My husband and I came to him before our wedding with zero dancing ability. I cant even keep rhythm! John went above and beyond. He never gave up on us despite knowing that we couldnt possibly be easy to teach. On the big day, I felt like our dance came together very well, and at the very least, we both felt confident on the dance floor. We had so much fun together - away from the kids - that weve decided when the kids are a little older, we will take dance lessons together. Thanks so much, John!
