Linda's
Bio
DANCEWELL is dedicated to
excellence and to our students' education in a full variety of
social dance styles.
Linda Springstead has 20
years experience and a full dance program teaching Ballroom, Latin,
Swing and Nightclub dances here in the Portland area. She has a
reputation for being a great instructor for the beginning dancer and
also provides a nationally based and accredited teacher training
program. All partner dancing is presented in a
high-quality and low-stress manner, with plenty of laughter and fun
while students learn the skills to "spring-board" themselves to
dance of all kinds – social, competitive and performance, as well as
to the credentials to teach.
Social Program: In our group classes we teach practical social dancing and use a blend of American and International dance steps since good
dancing is good dancing. From Foxtrot to Salsa, Argentine Tango
to West Coast Swing, Waltz to Cha Cha; we provide a wonderful variety of dances to learn
and experience! Dance, like life, is a process. We will guide you through each stage in a caring, fun, and supportive atmosphere.
Professional Program: We also offer a nationally-based
Professional Training Course. Anyone can have a professional
knowledge of dancing if they choose. This
program is designed
for those who enjoy
detail and like a
very structured learning environment, or who may someday wish to teach
dancing. Professional
Training
For those interested in
competitive dance,
Linda is well versed in
both AMERICAN Rhythm & Smooth, and INTERNATIONAL Latin & Standard -- if
you would like to privately learn a competition or medals routine
