Dance Center

With so many wedding details to plan for, whether it's caterers and photographers or reception halls and rehearsal dinners, it is easy to overlook one special moment on your wedding day: the first dance. While many couples take the time to pick out a special song, few stop to plan out the dance. For a really special first dance, I recommend couples call Traci Trombley at the Dance Center. Traci is a professional ballroom dancer. She is the most energetic person you will meet. A couple lessons with her will have any couple feeling like Fred and Ginger on their wedding day. A brief clip from her resume: "...Traci trained with ballroom champion dancers in New York, and with her partner, John Hunter, has competed throughout the United State including Hawaii, winning 1st Place in ballroom competitions in Georgia, New Jersey, Virginia and Maryland. Traci has taught at Dance Designs in New Jersey, where she was a member of company performing for corporate parties at Sardies in New York, and in Bogota Columbia...." In addition to ballroom classes with Traci, I should note that the Dance Center is a full service dance studio with classes from toddler through adult.

The Dance Center has been a part of the Traverse City community for close to 40 years. They recently located to a brand new studio which allowed them to expand their offerings. They offer classes for everyone from the child (18 months) on up through adults. They offer ballet, tap, jazz, modern, pointe, ballroom and just about any type of dance you can think of. They have an impressive staff. A couple of recommendations: if you are considering taking any kind of ballroom dance, definitely call The Dance Center. Their instructor, Traci Trombley is an AMAZING dancer. She has an impressive resume and she's not only a great dancer, she's a wonderful teacher. Even if you've got two left feet, she'll have you salsa dancing in no time. For jazz, look for Judy Harrison. She's got a great personality and it comes through in her choreography. Her classes are fun, challenging and you just never know what to expect. more
