About this studio
The Ballroom Tutor offers personalized dance lessons in ballroom, Latin, smooth and rhythm styles. Stacy, the instructor, has been teaching private lessons since 2000 and brings a distinctive background as an exercise physiologist, yoga therapist, wellness educator and life-long dancer trained in classical and contemporary performing arts. This combination means she understands not just dance technique but how bodies learn and adapt.
The studio specializes in several distinct programmes. Beginner Fundamentals is designed for individuals or couples starting out, with Stacy matching her teaching to your learning style through personalized attention, patience and practical training. The Welcome Package offers five private lessons to get you started. For those preparing for a special day, Wedding Packages cover first dance, bridal party choreography and parent dances, with Stacy even coming to your venue to help you practise. The Learn to Dance Series is a group class option where you learn the basics of leading and following in popular ballroom and social dances, with partners rotating so you meet new people.
Beyond the fundamentals, Stacy teaches Social and Competitive Ballroom for those progressing their skills. She also runs a Creating Connection Programme—a year-long couple's programme focused on trust and transformation through dance. For those interested in the physical side, Ballroom Bootcamp combines functional fitness with dance conditioning, while Therapeutic Breathing sessions help you balance emotions, focus the mind and build stamina for performance. Dance for Everyone provides accessible movement and inspiration.
Stacy's teaching approach emphasizes building confidence and ability at an appropriate pace. She works with individuals and couples, and you don't need a partner to start—in group classes partners rotate, and in private lessons she will dance with you.
