“Some People Come in Our Lives and Teach Our Souls to Dance”My name is Ashley, and I met the National Dance Club team at the Holiday Edition Vendor Fair on December 21, 2019. A short background on the person I was. I had crippling depression, anxiety, and PTSD from several events that happened in my life. One those events was the death of my best friend, my dad, who passed away from Mesothelioma cancer in 2016. I sought a counselor and a psychologist because I didn’t want to be depressed and anxious. I needed to find something to help myself get out the hole I was in.At this vendor fair I met many people. One of those people was Eric who welcomed me over to The NDC booth to talk about dancing. I sheepishly scheduled my free dance lesson on December 27, 2019 with Eric. I came into the NDC studio not expecting too much, but ready to try. Working with Eric that day, all my fears just melted away, and the negative feelings I had been experiencing also just melted away. So, I signed up for confidence builder dance lessons. I went to all my private lessons plus all the group classes I could. My confidence grew not only on the dance floor but also in my life. My friends, family, and coworkers could see the confidence and changes dance gave my life. The color in my face brightened. I was not moving as slowly, and everything was getting better day-by-day. I wanted to share my love of dance with others, so I started to invite friends, family, and coworkers to guest night where they got a group class and free private dance lesson just like I did. Each one felt the feeling I felt. Not only has dance built my confidence, but I have also gained an NDC family, not just with Eric but also with the other instructors Abby, Melissa, Jamey and the other NDC members.There are some things that you do in life and it quickly goes, but there are other things that come in your life that just lifts your soul. NDC has come into my life and taught my soul to dance and it will be dancing for many years to come.
My son has been enjoying the lessons. He has done ballet for a few years but wanted something more individual. He was disliking group settings were not one listens or takes lessons seriously (he is a figure skater so personal lessons seem better for him lol). I definitely would suggest coming and trying it out. Youll see all the great instructors they have. They even have fun nights where you can bring friends and family to try it out and have fun. 10/10 😊✨
What an awesome place to learn ballroom dancing and so much fun! My instructor, Eric, is fantastic. He makes you feel comfortable when learning something new. He has helped me build my confidence, too! A great place with a great atmosphere.
NDC of RC is such a great place to learn something new or rediscover a passion for dance! Fun and friendly environment and the instructors are top notch! I felt comfortable from day one and they encourage all levels of dance experience...even those with two left feet! Great place to meet people and enjoy improving your dance ability with or without a partner.
I love this studio! The space is beautiful and I personally really enjoyed the adult ballet class. I danced during my entire childhood, but injuries in my twenties prevented me from continuing. Her adult ballet class allowed me to dance again, in a supportive environment where they understood I had to adjust for my limitations.
National Dance Club of Rapid City is a great place to learn how to dance and to meet new people. They have great instructors that will teach you all the dance techniques you need to know. Come try them out.
Sooo thankful to have found this place!!! Not only are they so understanding, they also go above and beyond to accommodate all kinds of dancers, even from remote places in South Dakota...From beginners to experts, you can be sure to find a class or two or more, to awaken your curiosity and to spice up your life! Thank you sooo much for the opportunity to learn how to tango and to check it off my Bucket List!!! :D
John did an excellent job teaching our lesson. He taught us the basic 2 step. Had a good sense of humor, has obviously done this a lot, and helped us make progress! I would definitely recommend this to my friends!
Such a great group of instructors! They make learning to dance fun and easy. I always leave my lessons with Ian smiling and laughing.
