The following comments were provided by individual students who wished to share their experiences with you. Authentication can be provided upon request.

The first day I entered Camelle's studio, I never dreamed that I could ever dance because of a neurological problem which makes me clumsy. I only hoped that she could help me walk and move about more gracefully. We spent 15 minutes together talking and walking around the dance floor. After that short assessment, she informed me that she could teach me to dance if I would keep a positive attitude and trust her. My mind sincerely doubted her, but my heart felt the commitment and honesty she was projecting, so I agreed to take lessons with her. And now, a few months later, that once unreachable dream is becoming a reality. Words alone could never explain how I'm feeling as this new life progresses.

It is said that art is the mirror of the soul. Thus, I can say that dance is an art which bares one’s soul, and indeed brings forth the beauty of human kind. For three years my spouse and I have enjoyed our time at Camelle’s. We have experienced a harmony which has brought us closer together, established associations with other dancers, both student and professionals, and it has enriched our life experiences well beyond the sometimes hum-drum life of retirement. We have seen partners become couples, elders regain youthful and positive attitudes and folks just becoming friends. It is a shame that so few discover the “Art of Ballroom Dancing” late in their lives; and many times after an event which forces them to experiment with a new lifestyle. Ballroom dancing has always been there for them, but for some reason overlooked.

While this is an endorsement of dancing for personal enrichment, I would like to go further to say, that just like people, dance studios differ. Our experiences prior to discovering Camelle and her studio covered three years and three different studios; each offering its own character and personality. Each proved personally rewarding, yet the commitment to the students, as well as the fun and social interaction we find at Camelle’s, make us true regulars at Camelle’s Art of Dance. We thank you Camelle for providing us with the good fortune to discover this wonderful next step in the adventure of our lives. (D.L.D.)
