Weddingbee boards

I really recommend Misha & Sarah from TangoProject (www.tangoproject.com). They teach tango, but also know all sorts of ballroom dances. I HIGHLY recommend them as teachers, or if you want a particular dance (e.g. waltz, foxtrot, etc), then they can give you excellent recs. 

I took tango classes with them for 3 yrs. My sister and I worked with them to do a tango for a friend's wedding (Indian wedding, performance portion).

As teachers, they VERY good instructors, and take the time for you to really understand how all the "tricks" etc. I can't say anything bad about them, except maybe their group classes are in Roscoe Village, which might be inconvenient for some. But it's RIGHT on the Belmont/Clybourn/Western/Kennedy area.

we're going with Interclub Dance in Niles. A husband and wife team who were ballroom champs. They have decent wedding packages. they recommend to start in a group lesson and then eventually private lessons if you want a choreographed first dance.

But they structure their studio with about 8 different levels of dance skill. We're going this wednesday to see if level 3 is better for us than level 1. there's no charge to see what class works best for you.
