About Us:
Who are we?
In our tight-knit community, it can be challenging for adults to find activities tailored specifically to their needs and interests. Effervescent Studios addresses this issue by providing a welcoming and secure environment where both couples and singles can come together and forge meaningful connections on an individual and community level.
At the heart of our studio lies the power of dance, which serves as a catalyst for attracting clients and sparking their interest. However, it is the sense of community and belonging that truly makes them stay and become integral members of our family. Moreover, we strive to foster an atmosphere that promotes healing and growth, enabling our clients to experience the lasting benefits of a supportive and substance-free environment.
By combining the elements of dance, community, and healing, Effervescent Studios offers a unique and empowering experience for individuals seeking a safe space to explore their passions and build meaningful relationships, all while embracing a healthy and fulfilling lifestyle.

Private Sessions
Discover the Joy of Private Dance Lessons This Winter!
As the temperatures drop and we start moving indoors, it’s the perfect time to try something new that will warm your heart and soul. Why not explore the world of dance? Whether you’re looking for quality time for yourself, a way to reconnect with your partner, or simply want to learn something new, private dance lessons are the perfect fit!
Why Choose Private Lessons?
While group classes are a fantastic way to learn, they can sometimes lead to distractions and self-doubt. Private sessions offer a focused, one-on-one experience where you can truly immerse yourself in the dance, free from outside pressure. These sessions allow you to escape from your daily routine and lose yourself in a fun and inviting atmosphere.
Dance Styles We Offer:
From classic to contemporary, the options are endless! Choose from Swing (in its many forms), Salsa, Waltz, Foxtrot, Cha-Cha, Bachata, Hustle, Rumba, Tango, and so much more. And if you’re not sure which styles you’d like to learn, just take your instructor’s hand—they’ll introduce you to a variety of dances to help you find your perfect match.
Perfect for Individuals & Couples
Private dance lessons are all about you! They’re a great way to unwind and reconnect with yourself or your partner. For the guys who think, “I don’t need to dance,” here’s a gentle reminder: Dancing offers an amazing way to connect. If you’re single, you’ll find that learning to dance creates a deeper connection with a potential partner than just swiping right. And if you’re married, setting your pride aside and joining your wife on the dance floor can do wonders for your relationship. Holding her close while moving to the music will mean more in the long run than just sitting on the couch.
Flexible Scheduling & Pricing
Our private sessions are 50 minutes each, and we’ll work around your schedule—once a week, twice a month, or whatever fits best. Prices are $75 per session when purchased individually or $50 per session when you buy a package of 5 or 10 lessons.
This holiday season, don’t let the colder weather keep you from having fun. Step out of your comfort zone and step onto the dance floor. It might just be the perfect indoor activity you’ve been looking for!

Wedding Lessons
“Michael helped us with our wedding dance! We have zero ballroom dance experience other than box steps you learn in high school senior dance! He is super supportive and helps everyone with ALL levels of experience. We will most likely be continuing dance lessons as a good date day even after the wedding! Love him!"
