Ballroom Vermont 2008

Paula Apro: "Ballroom dance camp. I never even knew this existed before I sat down at my computer one night three years ago and typed “ballroom boot camp” into Google. It has been my dream for many years to learn how to ballroom dance. I eagerly signed up for the Ballroom Vermont newsletter and wished upon my lucky stars that someday my husband would agree to this as our vacation." Read More....

Thomas Lawrence: "My wife and I have a new passion. And yes, we are over 55 and yes, our friends and dear children all look at us as if we are foolish old geezers, but it doesn’t matter. This past year we have started and then committed time and resources to ballroom dancing. It has given us connection, purpose, romance and yes, lot’s of fun. The culmination of this obsession was attending 'Ballroom Vermont, Dance Camp for Adults,' this past July." Read More...

Ballroom Vermont stands out among Dance Camps
We had such a tremendous time at Ballroom Vermont this summer! Nothing I can say could possibly do it justice…

My husband and I had previously been to a much larger dance camp with 600 other campers. The experience was fun; however, we could not see the instructors during many of the classes. We never really felt like we learned very much at all. There was no review of previously taught material and the instructors were not able to provide any one-on-one feedback to the students.

At Ballroom Vermont, the classes were very small (about 8 or 10 other couples), and we always had individual attention from the instructors. The camp was extremely well organized, and the meals (included) were excellent. We felt that we made many new friends, and we learned new dance steps as well as improved our technique in all dances. The teachers were the best I have ever worked with, and the professional lessons with the visiting pros were the highlight of my dance experience. We loved the review of the previous day's lessons each day - and we really felt it enhanced our retention of the material.

At our previous, larger camp, we never got to dance with or talk to the pros, however at Ballroom Vermont, we had a lot of undivided attention from the pro during the group lessons as well as the opportunity for more time and attention in our private lessons.

This was undoubtedly our favorite vacation we have ever taken as a couple, and we wholeheartedly recommend this to other couples whether they are trying to improve their dancing or just want to have some fun!!

Thanks for a fun-filled week,
Amy Rossbacher, Ballroom Vermont 2007

"You did so many things right, it’s hard to comment about any one thing. I do think the daily repetition and review is key to learning at all levels. I have gone to the Stardust weekends and to the BYU in Provo, and I would prefer Ballroom Vermont."

"It was a great week. We’ve never done anything like this camp before, and we really had fun. We came hoping to have fun and to learn a few new steps and help our technique - we succeeded in all of that."
Connie Taylor; Bridgewater, VA

"The program was well organized and executed. The teachers were enthusiastic and very patient. It was fun learning in a group and allowed you to feel mistakes were expected and for beginners the rule rather than the exception. Because of this environment one progressed faster than one ever expected!"
