National Ballroom Academy

Glen - having you as our instructor was a joy! Planning a wedding and learning a whole routine in 6 weeks should have been stressful, but you made every session fun and a true bonding experience for us. Thank you for giving us the confidence and skills to pull it off. You and your team are organized, skillful and communicative. We cannot wait to attend more classes with you.

My partner and I are two seniors, and he has been reluctant to try ballroom dancing lessons. However, he decided to do so recently and is actually excited about taking private lessons. And it's because of our teacher, Mark; no one could be better for us than he is! He is so good at breaking down the various elements into manageable steps and so patient when we forget repeatedly. He is encouraging, humorous, and so personable. We are happily going to enroll for more lessons. Thank you , Mark!

NBA is a family - once you join, you are welcomed with open arms into a wonderful community where not only do you get to dance your heart out, you also end up meeting great people who become your friends. I have danced in many different studios in the past and this was the only one where I finally felt like I belonged. Both Glen and Melina are so kind, welcoming and talented, that no matter if you’re beginner or advanced, you’ll find your place here at NBA. They are the real deal and want to see you challenge yourself as you set goals and accomplish them. Thank you Glen and Melina for pouring your heart into this studio- it truly is an amazing place!

My husband and I have, for several years, been attending private lessons at the National Ballroom Academy. We have an excellent instructor, Mark, who has taught us both ballroom and latin dances and is very patiently improving our style. The school is well run and a fun and friendly place to learn.

I have taken many private lessons at the Academy. Glen and Melina are both excellent teachers, with lots of patience. They are not dogmatic in their teaching, and are willing to work with you to achieve any level of dancing skill that you are interested in attaining.The atmosphere at the Academy is welcoming and supportive.I enjoy their Saturday evening practice dances. Glen and Melina go out of their way to make everyone feel welcome regardless of their level of dancing expertise.I absolutely recommend the National Ballroom Academy to anyone wishing to learn to dance or improve on their present level of dancing..

I really enjoy Glen’s ability to continually find a way for me to learn in a fun, relaxing and effective way at my weekly dance lessons, and as a senior citizen I appreciate it immensely. He and Melina are very welcoming to their attractive studio, and always innovative in creating an atmosphere at the weekly practise dances so all levels and ages of dancers, single or couples, have fun. The group lesson offers an opportunity to try something new, and afterwards we can practise all the dances in a relaxing, enjoyable atmosphere, with perhaps a line dance thrown in to entertain us. And there Is always someone willing to help. The occasional Spotlight dance nights gives students an opportunity to shine with their instructors and inspire us all. Well done! Thanks! A great all-around dance experience!

National Ballroom Academy is an awesome place to learn how to dance. You can come for the socials and dance the night away and build community. They offer classes from beginners level to the advanced. Mark is our dance teacher. He is very patient and a professional teacher. We have lots of fun in our dance lessons. I highly recommend National Ballroom Academy and its professional dance teachers.

A few years ago I decided to walk in the National Ballroom Academy studio and ask about dancing lessons. Learning how to dance was one of my life goals but one of those activities that looks intimidating for a person who has never danced before.I started with group lessons taught by different instructors including Glen, Mark, Farrah, and Jason.The lessons were well structured and accommodated various ability levels. During the week I would learn a few steps in different dances and practice during the Friday and Saturday parties. The atmosphere was incredible. The instructors are professionals with lots of dancing experience and patience for teaching. I made friends, laughed, and exercised.  Week by week, I was looking forward to my dancing lessons and to the Friday and Saturday practice. Dancing and following on the dance floor had become easier and easier.Just before the covid era I started to take private lessons with Mark. He has taken my dancing to a new level. He is very good at breaking every move down which makes it easier to grasp. He is patient, and detail-oriented. Mark makes every woman look good on the dancing floor! Learning and dancing with Mark is a 'treat'.Thank you, so much, for all the unforgettable moments the National Ballroom Academy team brought to my life.

My partner and I have been dancing at National Ballroom Academy for many years and love it! We have focused on latin as well as ballroom styles of dance. The instructors are knowledgeable, patient, encouraging and creative in their teaching - always focussing on their students achieving success. Shout out to Mark Shpuntov for his amazing classes! We have made many wonderful friends through the studio and look forward to continuing to develop our dancing skills for many more years to come!

My husband and I have taken lessons for several years at National Ballroom Academy. We take weekly semi-private lessons with another couple with our instructor, Mark Shpuntov. Mark is an excellent instructor and we wouldn’t want to take lessons with anybody else. Mark makes learning easy, he’s flexible with scheduling, and brings a lot of fun and humor to our classes. My dancing has improved a lot in our classes. It’s been a great experience.
