Our Students Say All About Ballroom Dances
|
"Thanks for your support in making Canadore's Self-Renewal Week a success." Canadore College - June 4/2008
"Thank you for joining us at the Near North Teachers' Annual Women's Retreat on April 26/2008. Your time and effort in sharing your expertise made our retreat a great success." Anne Delaney - Vice President
"Dear Mabel: Thanks for your contribution to our Certification Day at Widdifield Secondary School on April/2008. Your help made the event a huge success." Sincerely, Melody Grabon
"Thank you so much from the Council and Congregation of St. Andrews for running a very unique fund raiser at Partners to replace some of the old slivery, heavy wooden tables in the gym. We were able to purchase four eight-foot and two five-foot weight tables from the funds raised at the dance ($750.00). We believe this would be a first in our history - fund raising with Latin and Belly dancing. Thank you for sharing your considerable talents as Latin dancers to produce such great results for us all. Dancing and music add so much to our lives. The evening was definitely a fun fund-raiser." Sincerely, St. Andrews United Church Council
"Thank you for your generous support of our auction this past weekend. It was a very successful event. We are making good progress towards building our first house in North Bay this year. A building lot has been donated on Lakeshore Dr. and our first family has been selected. It takes many hands to make this a reality and every contribution of whatever kind is critical to meeting our goals." The Habitat Auction Team, from Habitat for Humanity
"I joined Mabel and Orlando's Latin dancing a few years ago in part to Mabel's bubbly nature when I called to get more information. Now, a few years later, not only has my dancing improved but so has my self confidence. I truly enjoy taking dance lessons with Mabel and Orlando; I always leave the class with more energy and excitement than when I came in. I highly recommend learning with them." Nathalie Leclair - Latin dancing & Spanish student
"Just wanted to drop you a note to let you know how much we loved learning the Rumba for our wedding! The private lessons were wonderful! You both have so much patience, and made learning an enjoyable experience, even when we tripped over each others feet! We are now so anxious to learn more dances. It's definitely a great way to exercise and spend time with your favourite person! :) We have impressed our friends and co-workers with our talent! ha... Thank you again for everything..." Robin & Michelle Mino - Latin dancing students
"Dance has always been a part of my life. I studied jazz, ballet, and modern dance in Vancouver for years through the Hanova School of Dance. Later, I moved to southern Mexico and discovered the world of Latin Dancing. Two choreographers were offering Cumbia classes at my local gym, so I went every day for about six months. I just couldn’t get enough! Moving back to Canada, I experienced a bit of a reverse culture shock. There just wasn’t much happening, and I missed that Latino passion and exuberance, especially the dancing. Quite frankly, life was dull. Then in early 2004, I saw a tiny little ad in the North Bay Nugget with the magic words – Latin Dancing and Cuban instructors. Mabel and Orlando proved to be excellent teachers, professional in their approach, and brimming with energy and enthusiasm. Their classes became the highlight of my week, and eventually they began organizing monthly Latin Nights at local clubs. It was exhilarating. If it wasn’t for them, I may not have stayed in North Bay. Thank you Mabel and Orlando for giving so much of yourselves, and for bringing Latin culture to the north." Michelle LaRiviere - Latin dancing & Spanish student
"Mabel and Orlando are truly great dancers and teachers; they see and understand how to teach you the best way and they don’t give up! They are so patients that we have been taking lessons for almost three years... Some nights you will not feel like going out to class, but we can assure you that you will never regret it when you do! As a couple we are growing better, together, and YES ladies, let him take the lead. He is going to feel even better about it! You can transfer your Salsa steps or Merengue or Cha Cha to almost any music played at parties. We have a lot of fun and meet a lot of new people with the same interest. It adds to our “couple social” life. It is wonderful! Go for it! Don’t hesitate any longer!" Danielle & Luc Lalonde - Advanced Latin dancing students
"Thank you for teaching us the basics of dance. We really enjoy our Thursday night 'date night'. Looking forward to the September class. God bless you and thanks again" Graham & Amber Robinson - Latin dancing students
