 YOU are a miracle worker!   Thank-you for coming to our rescue!

Sondra Chan had my 12 year old son loving Ballroom Style Dance after the first hour with her. He wowed my family, dancing Swing with all the ladies at a wedding party after just a few lessons. Her crazy fun energy is addictive. I looked everywhere for a certified ballroom dance instructor--as far as I could tell, she's the only one on the South side. It's nice to be able to trust that she's teaching everything correctly!  We feel so blessed to have her in our life.

"I was looking for a certified ballroom instructor and found Sondra.  Her classes are so much fun and I am in love with ballroom dancing.  I can't stop smiling after the class, I am loving this!!!"

I never in my life thought I could actually enjoy dancing but you have made every class fun and very welcoming.  We appreciate you very much and all that you do for us.  Not just as a dance teacher but as a friend  :)

We wish to thank-you Sondra, we call you The Ballroom Dancing Lady. Thank-you for teaching us to dance and hosting our Christmas Ball.   We made this picture and framed it for you to remember us.

It was my pleasure to create and Direct the Dance Program at World Gym.

Onelife fitness purchased and replaced the wood floor with foam rubber which we cannot dance  on that surface.  We had  11 wonderful years together.

Sondra's experience as a Social Worker gives her sensitivity to her students' needs and abilities.  Always encouraging and celebrating every little step of progress. Making it more fun!

 "Thank you for being such an amazing teacher! My kiddos love you!!! (And I know they aren't the only ones!) Robyn Townsend

Blessings to you as you inspire folks to delight in dance...it truly blesses my heart and soul and body and I look forward to truly learning more swing, jitterbug, etc.

You are a gem and so very much fun. We look forward to being your students again, after our honeymoon. :)Sondra and the Sunday Night Dance Class - Thank you so much for the birthday banner, gifts, song and DANCE! I love you guys!

 Sondra, My wife Debbie and I wanted to thank you for a great time last night. This was our first dance lesson and I’m certain it won’t be our last. We’ll be in touch for future lessons. Have a very Merry Christmas and a Happy & Prosperous New Year. Tom Ross"

 Sondra's classes are focused and for fun we tease her about her accent, dontcha know... and she just laughs and keeps us going. She is an amazing instructor. 

 I didn't think I liked to dance...but I do now, because she makes it so fun.

Sondra we really enjoyed our dance lessons with you, we had fun as you are such a great instructor. We really appreciate all that you taught us.  Thank-you for showing us how to look a bit 'classier' on the dance floor for the big wedding day!

Regarding the Monthly Dance Parties....Have you ever watched, really watched children on a playground?  They share the joy of movement.

Jumping, arm waiving and running - they love to move!   Saturday Night, Sondra helped us re-discover the joy....and we get to do it to music!  Sophisticated people call it "Dance".   I just call it "Fun!" 

Our Dancers were Sondra Chan, Instructor extraordinaire and here student David.  Who taught us 2 left footers to dance.

 My wife arranged lessons with Sondra in preparation for my son's wedding. While not too excited initially, Sondra made the experience fun and even though I felt clumsy and slow, I've improved so much in just two sessions. Not only is she an expert but is a blast to work with, very engaging and encouraging. If you are interested in learning to dance or just becoming a better dancer and you want to have fun in the process, I highly recommend Sondra Chan.         Tom Keenan, Peachtree City, GA

Sondra,  We have sold our home here in PTC and will be moving to FL. If you hear of someone like you in that area, please let me know. Of the four dance instructors we experienced locally, you are by far our favorite. We’ll miss you!  Hugs,  Donna Lasseter

We are discovering Sondra Chan delivers more than a dance class. For sure, we not only learn from her gifted and professional instruction, in addition we are finding abundant friendships and tons of laughter are great bonuses. We plan to be in her classes for a long time to come and we highly recommend her dance classes to all!

Dear Sondra,

Thank you so much for sharing your love of dance with my friends and I! We are having such a wonderful time exploring all the Latin dances.

The group of us have been friends since grammar school and when we all discovered that one of the things on our mutual bucket lists was to improve our dance skills I am some thankful that  I found you! You make the classes easy for a non dancer like me to follow, but challenging for my friends that have more experience!

All of us are having a great time and look forward to each new dance!

See you Wednesday!

  Claudia and Steve ErnstBallroom has saved our marriage!  We found Sondra, she taught us right the first time and fixed us, now we love to dance together. Thanks Sondra,

Claudia and Steve Ernst Sharpsburg I have been an educator all my life- and a dancer only a few months. I strongly recommend Sondra to the beginner or advanced student as someone who knows dance well, is a talented teacher and is very enthusiastic about what she does!  

 Sondra and Paul, you will be so very missed in the Ballroom Dance Community, Thanks for the memories.

Dan and Sone' chose a Viennese Waltz for their wedding dance.  This is a difficult and fast dance, so we had private lessons every weeks for months. We became fast friends and my family assisted on the wedding day, my son was their DJ and I was able to see them nail their First Dance to the song Nothing Else Matters by Metallica.  Amazing day!

Dan Dan the Dancer Man,

had a Birthday we could not resist a Dance Class Party! 

We had cake balloons a banner and he had a wonderful and   Happy Birthday!

Just a note to thank you for the emergency pre-wedding dance lesson. Even with couples lessons 1 and 2 years ago, I needed more confidence in my ability to take the lead. Because of the intense review, I was able to recall and dance with my wife at our niece's wedding. Her toes thank you since I didn't crush them a single time. It's amazing how a single lesson brought back the muscle memory. I would recommend an individual lesson highly to anyone wanting to see rapid improvement. Thanks again! 

The past few weeks I have been bringing a teenage boy to Sondra's Thursday afternoon class for teens.

After one class my young friend was twirling Sondra across the dance floor! She has such a love for what she does and a gift for teaching anyone to dance. You can't help but smile and feel happy while watching Sondra work her magic on the dance floor.

 Sondra! Only the BEST instructor in Georgia!

I felt like we were in marriage counseling 101. I had such an AHA moment learning that I was trying to be the Alpha Dog on the dance floor. It was such an eye opening moment for me to realize how much I wanted to control the dance. I was learning how to trust Paul (my husband) in a whole new area which really took me to a root issue in my life. Very interesting. And you got the awesome privilege of  watching that unfold! How lucky are you? Just so you know....it was a very positive outcome for us both in our marriage.

I just wanted to write you to tell you how impressed I was with your Home Studio. First of all, everything was so professional, the room we danced in, the music, the ambiance...everything!!! The technicality of the moves you taught us will have us ready to look so cultured the next time we have an important event, but it was your effervescent personality what really made it worthwhile. Your price was very reasonable, and I loved how intimate your teaching and the dance moves were. My husband and I are trying to find a time when we can come out and do this again, even though we do live 60 miles away (you make it worth the drive). I will certainly spread the word about your dancing business and hope and pray that it continues to blossom! 

We are very grateful for the wonderful class you taught, at our conference. It was one of the highlights of the workshops.  You have a wonderful personality and the fact that you handled a very large class with such ease, is a credit to you.  Everyone that participated really enjoyed it. I certainly will recommend you to others and will keep your phone handy for our other activities.
Kudos to you.

If dancing is the art of putting love in motion, then Sondra Chan is a four-star, full-service mechanic. She fills your tank, checks the oil and tire pressure, and makes sure your 'vehicle' is roadworthy and looking sharp. Her style, grace and talent are the tools she shares, and her passion and sense of humor are the instincts that instill confidence and comfort in her clients. Spending time in her class will guarantee an appreciation of dance, and make clear the value it adds to your life. Angels come in all shapes and sizes and spend their days shining their light for others to see the path to happiness. Sondra is a busy angel, with dance shoes on her feet, songs in her heart, and bright lights in her eyes. She is generous with her devotion and contagious passion for dance, and time spent with her is an investment in a lifetime of pleasure and worth every penny. She has changed my life in ways I couldn't imagine earlier, and she will gladly do the same for you!

You're the best, kiddo! 

Sondra Chan has been one of our dance instructors at Northwest Health Clubs. She knows her patterns thoroughly, has excellent technique, and takes her teaching very seriously. This would be enough to make her an excellent teacher, which she is. The bonus is that she has an infectious personality, great sense of humor and a very positive teaching style. We’ve never seen anyone come away from her classes discouraged or cranky. Her students love her, and she genuinely cares about her students. She’s a tireless worker to make her program succeed, even investing some of her own resources to get the word out.

We recommended her as a group instructor for a fundraising event, as well, and were impressed with her ability to work with a large group. Most of the people there had had little or no dance instruction. Some were visibly hesitant to join in. Those who did, however, had a great time and came away knowing enough about dancing the Foxtrot and the Rumba to dance socially without feeling inept. She was very clear in her instruction. It was a bit of genius on her part to have taught two dances, which would seem to be totally different, by finding a common ground. Many commented on how accessible she made the lesson.

I had a wonderful time dancing last Saturday night. The band was unbelievably good and even though my husband had to work I still found fun people to dance with. What a great way to spend an evening!!! Nice people and great dance music. I can't wait till the next GottaDanceNOW event. Come on everybody - let's dance!!!

I am writing you to tell you of the wonderful experience my husband, and I had with our dance instructor. Her name is Sondra Chan (it should be Sondra CAN!)

My husband has two left feet and was very nervous about dancing but was willing to give it a try. The first couple of weeks were hard on him because his feet wouldn't do what he wanted. He was ready to throw in the towel, being a type "A" personality, who typically succeeds at everything he tries. Sondra encouraged him and was very patient, but that's not all! She went the extra mile. She instinctively knew what my husband needed. She met us early, and we had her all to ourselves before each class for a short time. Now my shy husband is taking to the dance floor on his own accord and is eager to show the other students what we have learned.

Her smile and sincerity put everyone at ease, and her instruction makes the dance floor less intimidating. I have taken dance lessons all my life and never had such an enjoyable experience.

Remember when you want to dance, Sondra Chan, CAN make a miracle happen on the dance floor.

The minute our daughter got engaged I knew I was going to have to talk my husband into dance lessons. I had heard about Sondra through a friend, so I gave her a call. We started lessons in February to prepare for the "big day" in June. After three months of lessons, we are hooked on dancing! Sondra's enthusiasm is contagious, and she has an extensive background of experience and knowledge. Her best quality is her ability to understand our learning style and teach dance in a way that makes sense to us. Sondra has made dancing fun for us and given us a lifetime skill. We can't wait to hit the dance floor at our daughter's wedding. After that, maybe Dancing With the Stars. Who knows?

  I have been an educator all my life- and a dancer only a few months. I strongly recommend Sondra to the beginner or advanced student as someone who knows dance well, is a talented teacher and is very enthusiastic about what she does!

Carla and I took dance lessons with Sondra and we were extremely pleased with her professionalism and skill! She took a couple of dance rookies and patiently worked with us until we finally learned to danced together. We were both impressed with her knowledge and passion. Sondra is the best! We highly recommend her.
