"Where every step tells a story"
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.

🎉 Mini Me & Me Dance Series – Help Us Make It Happen! 👯♀️
💔 Mini Me & Me Dance Series – Cancelled 💔
It’s with a heavy heart that we share this news:
Our Mini Me & Me Dance Sessions will not move forward this summer due to low registration.
We put this series together in response to your requests — excited to create a space where grown-ups and kiddos could move, connect, and make sweet summer memories together. But unfortunately… the call was made, and the answer was left on read.
To the one amazing parent who did register — THANK YOU. 🧡 Your enthusiasm didn’t go unnoticed, and we’re already dreaming up something special just for you and your mini. Stay tuned.
This idea still has so much potential, and we’re not giving up on it. We believe in the magic of movement — especially when it brings generations together — and we hope to revisit this offering again down the road.
In the meantime, thank you for being part of this journey. Your support keeps our studio dancing.

Discover the Joy of Private Dance Lessons
Looking for a fun, meaningful way to move your body, connect with others, and try something new? Private dance lessons are the perfect way to learn at your own pace while enjoying a creative outlet that energizes your spirit—any time of the year.
Why Choose Private Lessons?
While group classes can be exciting, private lessons offer a personalized experience tailored just for you. With one-on-one instruction, you’ll enjoy focused guidance, build confidence, and progress at a pace that feels right. Whether you're a total beginner or brushing up your skills, these sessions are designed to help you thrive without pressure or distractions.

- Swing (East Coast, West Coast, Lindy Hop & more)
- Salsa
- Bachata

No experience? No problem. We’re here to help you every step of the way.
For Individuals or Couples
Private dance lessons are perfect whether you're treating yourself to something new or spending quality time with a partner. Dancing builds connection, trust, and joy—and sometimes, just holding someone close and moving to music says more than words ever could.
If you're single, learning to dance is a great way to build confidence and connect with others more meaningfully. If you're in a relationship, it’s a refreshing way to step out of routine and share a new experience together.
Flexible Scheduling & Simple Pricing
Each private lesson is 50 minutes, and we’ll work around your schedule—once a week, twice a month, or whenever fits best.
Pricing Options:
- $85 per lesson – Pay-as-you-go
- $60 per lesson – 5-lesson package ($300 total)
- $50 per lesson – 10-lesson package ($500 total)
Whether you want a single session or a longer learning journey, we make it easy to start.

No matter the season, it’s always a good time to dance. Step out of your comfort zone and onto the dance floor—you might just discover something beautiful waiting for you.

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!"
