Your Fun Meister: Michael Stephens Dance Instructor: Michael Stephens

I have been dancing since drums were made out of tree trunks. Okay, maybe not that long. But I have been dancing since high school. Although, like you, I really didn’t get started learning until later. So, I also suffer from the terrible IWIHSDAEAHS (I Wish I Had Started Dancing As Early As Him/Her Syndrome). None the less, I have been dancing for over 20 years and teaching for over 15. But what about the important stuff:  how are the classes? Fun; really, really fun. We have very friendly people in these classes. Whether you’re learning West Coast Swing, Country & Western, slow or dirty dancing, Jitterbug, Merengue, Salsa, Waltz, or Cha-cha, the classes are fun, fun, fun. Whether the classes are in Clear Lake or Houston, whether the classes are group lessons or private lessons, we make them fun. Like I said, we have great people in our classes.

Testimonial

Dancing with Michael is what it must have been like to dance with Fred Astaire. He moves so naturally and has the magic touch when it comes to leading his partner. He is a gifted teacher as well. Easy to understand, patient and just great to work with. I’ve learned so much and never ever felt embarrassed because I was having too much fun!
