Forever Dancing | DanceWell PDX
A living remembrance — updated as we receive photos and bios.
Great Memories
We at DanceWell are so grateful for every dancer who has brought joy, laughter, and energy to our studio.
This page celebrates the wonderful people who have been part of our DanceWell family. Their bright spirits, beautiful dancing, and the special memories we shared on the floor continue to warm us and inspire us every day.
Though they are no longer with us, their love of dance lives on in our community — forever dancing.
How to Add a Dancer to Our Community Remembrance
Every dancer who has touched our DanceWell community is safe in our memories. This page is a living tribute filled with stories, smiles, and memories of those who are no longer with us but whose spirit continues to dance on. It’s a work in progress, just a beginning and will improve over time. Would you like to add someone special? We welcome submissions from family, friends, students, and fellow dancers.
What to Send Us
Include as much info as you can (the more the better, but even a little is wonderful):
- Full name of the dancer
- Date or year they passed
- Years they danced with us (or approximate dates)
- A short note or memory, funny moments
- A favorite photo (or a few) — we love candid shots from lessons, parties, or events
- Optional: birth year
How to Submit
Send everything to linda@dancewellballroom.com Or call me directly at 503-241-0460
Please put something like “Memories Page Submission” in the subject line so I see it right away.
I’ll review, reach out if I need any additional details, and add it to the page. This is a living page that grows over time.
Ramey Danielson (1946-July 2026)
Ramey was one of the most active guys around. Scuba, golf, pickleball, skiing, hiking, dancing, traveling, gardening, volunteering. One of the coolest dudes known.

Tina was a shining star in ours and many other dance groups she and Ernie owned as “families”. She is terribly missed.

Naomi was one of our students whose love for dance shone bright every time she was with us. She is missed.
Liz Davidson (1955-2025)

A lifelong ballroom dancer and a member of the Laurelhurst Dance Club, he leaves his wife Judy Campagna. [1]

Rod with his wife Kim was a pillar of DanceWell for many years. A private man, once mayor of Hillsboro, he also is missed from our community.

Sandy was a beautiful, loving and caring person.
We were all blessed to have known her and her giving spirit is still cherished in our little dance community. May she dance through eternity.
