What Our Students Are Saying

Don’t just take it from us, let our students do the talking!

“Having taken other classes, yours was the first that actually did the trick! That you were able to teach my husband, “the tree”, totally self-conscious non-dancer with no sense of rhythm to swing dance is an actual miracle! I am so thankful!! “
Sandy T.

“Chiles is a great instructor. He is patient, encouraging and very discrete in his criticism/suggestions. The value of that last point cannot be overestimated. I have taken a number of lessons elsewhere, and I know something about having one’s confidence crushed.
A great leader. Fun to be around. “
Ola H.

“Chiles provides a very welcoming, fun dance environment. His desire to help each student is apparent during every class. He teaches basic to complex moves that are all fun and has a great ability to break dance moves down to the point at which the student understands how to do it. “
William W.
