Ballroom At Its Best 4531 Concourse Drive, Ann Arbor, MI 48108

"As an older beginner, I find that Claire's classes are just what I need. She goes over each thing plenty of times, with & without a partner, with & without music, and even helps us figure out how to make it work in the "real world" when there's no instructor counting out and calling the steps for each dance. I've found that many other "beginner" level instructors miss these very important pieces of the learning puzzle."

"Just finished my first beginner session with my partner in Ann Arbor. We loved coming every week and Claire does such a great job leading a large and diverse group class. We are signed up for the next session and probably many more to come!"

"When I walked into the Studio I was struck how relaxed and friendly everyone is! The beginner group class was easy to follow.. and super fun! I have also watched their Showcases and I've seen Richard and Claire dance! (Richard and Claire are the owners and teachers) We are so lucky to have world-level instructors in this area!"

"My two sons started attending the children's beginner class nearly a year ago (ages 5 & 7) and we have had such a great experience! The instructors, especially Ms. Nadiya, are very welcoming and patient, and keep the kids focused and engaged while never getting frustrated with them. My boys love her! Nadiya, along with Claire and Richard, put on really fun Showcases which have been very enjoyable to watch and be a part of. Ballroom at it's Best has earned my highest recommendation!"

"In addition to the free introductory lesson I had two private lessons with Claire, to choreograph a mother-son wedding dance. My son does not live in town, but Claire actually made it possible for us to learn the dance together via zoom! She gave us enough practice to feel comfortable and secure (I am a true beginner) but also made the dance creative enough to be fun. I highly recommend her!"
