Candace Dance

Candace is the best!!! I wanted my husband to learn to Latin dance and we couldn’t have found a more perfect instructor. She is not intimidating, she is extremely patient, very accommodating to your style of learning. My husband and I feel so comfortable with her and look forward to our Wednesday night dance lesson every week. Highly highly recommend Candance!

Patience is a virtue and this lady has definitely mastered it! My husband and I came to Candace in hopes of surprising our wedding guests with a cliché first dance, which turned out way better than expected. Both of us being 90’s kids, we had no idea about swing dancing or dancing in any way that would look elegant or graceful.
The process was easy, we met, she gave us a free first lesson, we gave her the songs we wanted to dance to, a time frame, and we worked out all the moves and steps together. She takes her time to show you each and every step, which way to move, how to look, how to smile, and most importantly, how to enjoy it and have fun with it all. It really showed when we performed for our guests. If it wasn’t for her, our first dance would have been about exciting as that last slow dance at your high school prom.
She gives you very intimate lessons. There was no one else around except us and her, so if your two left feet are feeling shy, you have nothing to worry about. She is very professional and will make sure before you leave that you understand what you are doing. She even gave us a lesson plan for practice, since we only met once a week. She’s worth it, give her shot. You won’t regret it! Thank you Candy for everything!

Candace is the most patient soul around! My friend, Glen; and I had decided to take some classes to prepare for social events that we are always attending. She was very thorough in finding out exactly what we wanted to learn, along with teaching each partner their steps, and dancing with each of us throughout the class to make sure that we «get it.» Truly a rewarding experience — fun, educational, useful. Highly recommend any beginner to sign up and see how much you can learn in a short time! Thank you!

My husband and I wanted to have our first dance to «La Vie en Rose» by Edith Piaf for our wedding. Only problem, we are both the most uncoordinated individuals on the dance floor (maybe that’s what drew us together). Enter Candace, who over six lessons taught us a perfectly choreographed dance. She made the lessons fun and was very patient with us; I actually think it may have been my favorite part of wedding planning! She was also very thoughtful in thinking about the details of our reception space and my dress in planning our dance moves. I could not recommend her more!

My soon to be husband and I went to Candace to choreograph our 1^st dance. He and I had the most amazing time with her. She was patient and really broke down the steps for us! We are excited for all our friends to see us dance to John Legends «All of Me»!!! Honestly if you are looking for someone to help you not get up and make a fool out of yourself go to Candace! she will make you feel like you are ready for an actual Ballroom Competition :)

I go to her group lessons in casino rueda, and I absolutely love it! She always works hard to make sure that we learn as much as we can in our hour a week. Her prices are very reasonable and I feel like I’m getting more than my money’s worth. She also works to accomodate with the schedules of everyone in the group so that as many people can participate as possible.
She also knows so many other dances and is willing to learn more in order to teach it.

My now husband and I wanted to take dance lessons before our wedding but not spend a fortune. Luckily we found Candy online. Candy was patient, friendly and flexible. We never had a problem finding a time despite our busy schedules and always were able to find free parking-​bonus! Because of the time we spent with Candy we were able to master our first dance at the wedding and our guests were shocked-​in a good way! Candy even measured out her dance floor based on the dimensions of the dance floor at our reception so we felt even more prepared! I highly recommend Candy!

I cannot say enough nice things about Candy, her talent, patience, teaching ability, etc. I went in for wedding lessons for a daddy-​daughter dance and my first dance w my husband. She helped us all immensely and I couldn’t thank her enough. At times, I wanted to just revert to the «shuffle» (side to side w the occasional twirl and maybe a dip if I’m feeling super fancy at the end), but her encouragement and lessons made it all worth while. Although she does offer group lessons, I was searching for something a little more personal. After doing some research, all I could find were the «big» guys everyone goes to, but after reading some reviews it seemed hit or miss, not to mention the cost! I thought that what I learned and accomplished w Candy was at an extremely fair price. She’s well located, has easy parking, and its a nice, clean, new studio. If I ever need anything like this again or know anyone who does, she certainly has my recommendation! If you want to learn to dance and look good, she’s the person.

Candy is absolutely great! I like to bounce around learning different moves and mixing up different styles. Fortunately Candy understands me and she knows how to pull me back to reality and stick with a program. I’ve been to other studios to learn and Candy’s easy style, professionalism and patience have helped my wife and I learn to dance and improve rapidly, much better than any place else that we tried. what we learned at another studio had a very slow progression, while with Candy we have progressed all the way from the Bronze level (beginning to learn to dance) and we’re now well into the silver level in a very short period of time. Thanks Candy

Perfect — Perfect — Perfect!
On a whim (& very, very late in my wedding planning) I looked up Polka Dance Classes in Chicago and Candace’s listing came up first! I am so happy it did!
Before the big event we had time to sneak in 2 group classes (nice small group) and one private (wow, intense!). Worked like a charm — we danced the Polka as our 1^st…2^nd…3^rd — heck, all the dances at the wedding and had everybody join us out on the dance floor.
About the specific Classes I’ve taken with Candace (Candace Dance):
–Totally Affordable Group Lessons with like minded people
–Easy to follow dance instruction (not some pretentious mumbo-​jumbo)
–Fun & Flexible — my class liked the polka and got along well enough that we all agreed to move the night and continue on with Rumba & Basic Waltz
Don’t sit on the side lines at the next wedding, corp. event, or shindig you go to! Call up Candace (or email like I did) and make an investment in looking awesome on the dance floor!
***Also, don’t worry if you don’t have a partner. Everyone has to switch off any way eventually and frankly it’s fun to dance with the other folks — it makes you a better dancer!
