Hi Bees! Can anyone in the DC area recommend a dance instructor?  We'd like a series of private lessons in at least swing (pref. west coast) and foxtrot.  We both have some basic swing experience already, and we'd like a choreographed first dance.  Someonewho also does smaller group lessons would be especialy great.  Anywhere in the DC/MD/VA area is fine, but Arlington would be the best.  Cost is not really a concern.  A good instructor is the most important thing!  So, any suggestions?  Thanks!!

We took private lessons from Paul Mola and he's fantastic!  He teaches out of his full-size studio in his home near Rockville, MD.  He's been teaching for 30+ years.  He is an excellent instructor and a pleasure to work with!

We had no ballroom experience and learned a Viennese Waltz for our first dance.  We took weekly lessons from Paul to learn/choreograph the dance.  It was a big hit at the wedding!  We had so much fun that we're continuing with group lessons.  We've already learned foxtrot, swing, waltz, rumba, hustle, etc. 

 I can PM you with Paul's info...

i highly recommend Kim, from http://www.firstdanceimpressions.com/

She taught us the tango which was a HUGE hit at our wedding for our first dance.  Her studio is in Annandale and she can do whatever package/hours/dances you want/need.  She was so good and KNOWS how to teach a person who has never danced before (freestyle or anything for that matter) understand the mechanics and ideas of dance.  For us that equaled to confidence and a great performance on our first dance.  Good luck and have great fun =)
