Introduction: We have 3 dance studios in Woodbridge, Branford, Madison all beautiful spaces. While on a private lesson at Ballroom Dancin Fools there is no sharing the floor or music with other dancers, unlike our competitors. We work with clients who are on a budget and we even make house calls, teaching and performing at outside venues like the New Haven Country Club and Guilford Yacht Club. Dancing is a blast. And we are thrilled to share our joy with others.

Laurent is so much fun! My fiancé and I went for our first dance for our wedding and I’m excited to show everyone this Sunday! Laurent was able to give us the confidence we didn’t have as we both had never danced before. He is highly recommended if you are looking for dance lessons!

My fiancé and I took a few lessons with Laurent who was amazing. We felt so comfortable and got so much out of it. He made sure to understand how we wanted the dance to look and built the choreography around that. So glad we went with him!

Details: Two (e.g., myself and my husband) • First dance • What my teacher recommends • No, I do not have choreography in mind • Beginner • At the pro’s location • My home, venue, etc.

If you have never danced before and you are nervous, don’t be! Dancing Fools provides private dance lessons! My husband and I hired Dancin Fools to take our chosen music and come up with a dance from which to instruct. It was so much fun! A truly wonderful experience. The personal touch with instruction led to the venue where we practiced the dance we were taught until perfect and confident ! My husband and I learned how to dance! We smiled and laughed a lot during the process. Very emotional and romantic performance that night as we celebrated our 38 years of marriage and the beginning of our new journey together. Thanks so much Dancin Fools!

Details: Two (e.g., myself and my husband) • First dance • Slow Dance • No experience • Once a week • 45 minutes • Monday • Tuesday • Wednesday • Thursday • Friday • Evening (after 6pm) • I travel to the wedding dance instructor

Laurent is simply AWESOME! My husband's goal was to not step on my feet and not fall and Laurent made him learn a whole dance!!! We can't wait to have our first dance at our wedding this Friday and we are so thankful for Laurent's service and expertise. He makes a difference!

Laurent made dancing fun! We learned a lot and now we wow people with our moves whenever we dance at weddings or when we're on vacation. Learning to dance adds so much to your social life!
