   Stop looking elsewhere for dance instructors, this is the place to go!  We came to Byron and Tammy to learn to dance for our wedding and they were fantastic.  Not only were they great at what they do, they made it fun.  My wife had danced before but I had not ever danced.  By the time our wedding came around (less than a week after the last session), it was all muscle memory and we were able to really enjoy the moment!

   Byron and Tammy led a fun and engaging class for my wedding party-- everybody had a great time, and learned a lot, even as total beginners

   I've been coming here since November and it has been a fantastically welcoming and enjoyable experience. As someone who has been an instructor themselves (in a very different athletic endeavor) I really appreciate their ability to build strong basics and emphasize safety while at the same time teaching nuanced skills and theory and still making it so fun and wonderfully positive for all skill levels with lots of laughs to be had. Absolutely Five Stars!

   I’ve been dancing here for two years and have had an incredible time. Byron and Tammy are very knowledgeable instructors and strive to provide an excellent dance experience, whether you’re just starting on your dance journey or have been a part of the community for years. If you’re looking to learn or listen to the occasional dad joke, Fleur De Dance is the place for you.

   Tammy and Byron are wonderful teachers who have created an environment of positivity and community. I couldn't dance at all when I started, but have improved so much. I've also met some truly wonderful people since I started here two years ago. Thank you!

   So glad I found this place!  Brand new to West Coast Swing, so started at the beginner classes and dancing my way up as I improve.   The instructors are very knowledgeable, courteous and a real joy to be around.  It’s a fun, lighthearted atmosphere, with other dancers at all levels and the same goal of improvement.  Very reasonable rates for quality instruction!  A private lesson is worth the money.  5 stars, for time well spent and building new friendships.

   I have been doing west coast swing for 8 weeks with Tammy and Byron who are fabulous! We had an open dance night this last Saturday and i was surprised at how much already sunk in. The students at the dance studio are very dedicated because we all have so much fun. Tammy and Byron not only are great teachers they provide alot of entertainment with their humor. I highly recommend the west coast swing dance lessons. It doesn’t matter how old you are, everyone is here!
