Testimonials From Students and Friends

"It was immediately apparent, after only my first lesson, that Beth & Bruce Perrotta have a great deal of pride and dedication for the profession of dance. I can tell that Beth & Bruce are in love with the idea of teaching others how to dance with their personalized instructive technique, and in turn have created a blossoming passion within me! I thank them for the confidence I was looking for to continue in my pursuit of dance."

"Beth and Bruce immediately made me feel at ease from day one and are always very encouraging. Their classes are always enjoyable and leave me wishing their sessions wouldn't end. Even at the few socials I attend you can see how much fun they have when they dance together. I would encourage anyone (regardless of their level of dance), if you want to learn new styles that are technically broken down so that it's easily understandable, learn from the BEST! Beth and Bruce."
 
Just my few cents...

"Beth and Bruce are two of the most ethical people I have encountered and are also wonderful dance instructors. Over the years I have had the privilege to get to know them and have found them to be caring and thorough in their teachings.
 
They insist on keeping a positive environment and turn no one away, anyone that knows them loves and appeciates all they have and continue to do for our dance community. They have been instrumental in increasing our knowledge of the dance and to bring us on the same level as the rest of the country. As it stands now, many of their students place when they enter dance competitions.
 
It's an honor to know them and learn from them."
 
Sincerely,

"Thanks to Bruce & Beth Perrotta great instructors in West Coast Swing I have come a long way, they are extremely adept teachers and their passion for dancing is contagious.

I remain with them ever because of their professionalism, motivation and enthusiasm for West Coast Swing .
 
They are terrific teachers emphasizing strong fundamentals and techniques combined with excitement."

"I have been taking lessons from Bruce and Beth Perrotta for about two years. They are both great instructors and genuinely nice people. They really care about all of their students. I have learned so much about WCS from them. Bruce makes everyone he dances with look really good and Beth always takes the time to help the ladies with styling."

"I've been meaning to drop you a line and thank you and Beth for the great job you guys did this past weekend. I'm sure at times you have to wonder if it's worth all the hard work and aggravation and I want you guys to know how much we appreciate all you do for the dance community. Renee and I both commented on how much we enjoy dancing with the two of you. Looking forward to seeing you in a couple of weeks at the TBC."

"My friend and I started taking dance lessons 9 years ago to put some fun into our lives. After bouncing around for several years from class to class and teacher to teacher, we were very fortunate to meet Beth and Bruce Perrota. They are not only amazing dance teachers, but amazing human beings. What distinguishes them from other teachers, is not only their true love of dance itself, but their grasp of the technical details of dance and their ability to communicate these details to their students. In all the years I've studied with them, they have treated all level of dancers equally. I have watched them dance with beginners and advanced dancers and they show genuine joy and caring in every single dance they do.
 
Many students think they have to know lots of patterns but they neglect the fundamentals those patterns are based on. Beth and Bruce study the fundamentals with Skippy Blair, the Queen of West Coast Swing, in California. They teach those fundamentals so even students who have two left feet can have confidence in their dance and build from there. I have been taking privates with Bruce for about 5 years. He is very patient and analytical. At the end of a dance, his computer brain recalls every nuance of a dance and he is able to critique me so I can improve in my weak areas and he acknowledges my strengths.
 
They have brought so much joy to my life through dance. They are also selfless in their pursuit of bringing dance to the community. They sponsor events and have brought Miami Dance Magic to South Florida and encourage, teach and reward young dancers from the area in order to enrich their lives. I can't imagine life without Beth and Bruce in it."
 
Thank you to you and Beth for caring so much about dance and your students.

"Well Bruce my phone and email is ringing hot hot hot now that we posted the YouTube of the dance (We organized a FLASH Mob in downtown West Palm Beach)!!! All want to know when is the next one where you guys will take over downtown! And other places now want ya!! ha! Gosh, I thought I was busy before but this is nuts! I was on the phone with city officials all evening while Clint was waiting for me for dinner in our fav sushi place. They are nuts for the tape. Took Clint awhile to put that together but so glad he put in the time.
 
The cool thing is you really got accomplished what you wanted to do. To bring attention to DANCE and WCS!! I am kind of shocked how much attention and just a few hours too! The Mayor can’t stop talking about it and the commissioners want to be in the know the next time. The TV guy for west palm TV said he need a time for the next time to film it. We told him 9PM so we missed it. But now we can plan it better. The guy explained to me that he is assigned to so many different events and must be on a time frame."
 
Thanks for everything! Was so much fun!
Ginger

"We are bonded by our passion for dancing and the long lasting frienships we have made with each other which all started in your classes! You are stuck with us! We are not going anywhere. We want to make you and Beth proud of your dance students on and off the dance floor and we love you guys!"
 
Suzanne

"Just a note to say again, THANK YOU FOR THE LOVELY DANCE! You made my night, that was so special to me, I love that song and the night club 2 step. The only problem is that no one does it anymore, or they don't know how to ?
 
I just had to let you know you are such a special person, teacher, friend! As I am sure Beth knows this ! What a lucky lady!"
 
Keep on dancing!
Valerie

"We enjoyed our time with you on and off the dance floor during the cruise. When we were first introduced to WCS we were simultaneouly intrigued and intimidated. It took a long time for us to "feel" competent. Participating in the Goldcoast group lessons taught us a lot and made it clear to us that we had a lot more to learn. We love the new moves and styling that we learned from you & Beth during the cruise. We went to Goldcoast last night and practiced them off the main floor.
 
Both of you are wonderful instuctors and we look forward to participating in more events with you."
 
Sincerely,
Lori & Steve

"I just like to say thank you to you and Bruce for all your patience and talent in teaching WCS. The two of you made it all a lot of fun. When I first started your class I was really green. After a few weeks I began to get the feel. Now thanks to you two I have the basics and the desire to continue and really get better. Hopefully soon I'll do a competition."
 
Thank you both,
David Jaz

"Now in my third year of WCS, I often recommend Bruce and Beth's class to many people I speak with. They provide a fun, organized, course with a planned syllabus that helps give a solid foundation. I always enjoy their classes and teaching style."
