About Ballroom Dance with Us

We love introducing people to the world of Ballroom, Latin, and Swing dancing! And helping those with the basics to grow their skills for greater competency through refining their skills and technique. We offer group and private lessons in the beautiful Pacific Northwest. Group classes typically are offered at The Vancouver Fitness Studio, Clark College Community Ed, and Longview's McClelland Center Parks & Recs. We also teach lessons at dances in North Portland and Vancouver. Joseph has been teaching ballroom dancing all his adult life and Julieann has for 12+ years. Our base for PRIVATE LESSONS are in VANCOUVER, WA 98662, just east of I205. Private lessons are a great way to begin learning the rules of dance etiquette, partner hold and movement, and steps in a variety of dances. Away from the distraction of people, music, and partner rotation of group classes, students are emboldened to focus on the fundamentals. And, in the private setting, we, as instructors, can discover quickly what changes are needed to guarantee your success on the dance floor! Our students tell us that our classes are the most fun and easily understood in the entire Portland/ Vancouver metro area. As a result, we enjoy deep satisfaction in knowing 1000s of people have grown in their skills in social dancing and are enjoying all of the benefits. We look forward to assisting you in the wonderful world of dance! Happy Dancing, Julieann and Joseph Platt

What a joy it is to learn from an instructor who makes dancing feel so natural, fun, and achievable! I love how you customize each lesson to fit your students—you meet us exactly where we are and somehow make everything feel easier. Your patience, encouragement, and enthusiasm make learning something new feel exciting rather than intimidating. You have a wonderful gift for making people feel confident on the dance floor, and every lesson leaves me smiling and wanting to dance more. I’m so grateful to have found you and highly recommend you to anyone who wants to learn to dance while genuinely having a great time!

Julieann is a wonderful dance instructor. My wife and I are absolute beginners, but wanted to learn something new for date nights. We are both so happy we chose Julieann. She provided us with an encouraging, judgement free space to start our dance journey. As well, she was able to provide us with the perfect one-on-one structure as novice dancers to gain confidence and have great fun while doing it.

Met with Julieann for dance lessons. Learned three 1-step dances the first night (merengue, waltz, and swing). Looking forward to my next lesson.

I wanted to improve my ballroom dancing, so I contacted Julieann for lessons. I knew the basics of several dances, but I wanted to improve my technique and skills and just get some focused practice. Julieann was the perfect choice! She has a syllabus of dance moves that she expertly teaches. Her lessons are a balance between teaching new skills and practicing the skills to music. Julieann is a patient teacher who is loads of fun! I heartily recommend Julieann as a dance teacher.

Julieann was a great instructor. I had zero experience and zero rhythm and, after her lessons, I can confidently say that I will be the best dancer out of all of the grooms at my wedding. Ok… jokes aside, she was great and really put us at ease for our big day. 💃🕺🏻

Julieann is a wonderful and patient instructor. She makes you feel at ease learning moves at your own pace. I recommend her for anyone wanting to develop their dancing skills.

Julieann was an absolute sweetheart and we had a lot of fun taking her class! We bought a 10 class package and are so excited to have this new hobby! After o e class alone we learned so much!
