"We just finished Beginning Merengue lessons with Bethany and enjoyed the classes very much. Bethany is an excellent instructor! Her explanations were always very clean and easy to understand. She answered every question posed by the students and never hesitated to go over material until all of the students were comfortable with the material. She made the classes fun and we greatly enjoyed the amalgamation of steps that she presented! "

"Chasse is a wonderful place to learn the art of Ballroom dancing! The instructors are fabulous! They have tons of patience and are more than willing to teach (& re-teach) the steps. They make learning to dance fun! They make me feel very comfortable, relaxed, and welcome for both the Group Lessons and Private Lessons. The instructors make me feel confident in my dancing abilities, even when I miss a step! Overall, the staff and instructors are great and I have truly enjoyed my Ballroom dancing0 experience!"

"My wife had been requesting for some time that she wanted to take ballroom dancing lessons. Like any dimwit husband, I thought if I didn't acknowledge the request, she would give up the fight and drop it. Well to her credit, she continued. In order to please her, I signed up for 3 private lessons and gave them to her as a birthday gift. On the day of our first lessons, she was so excited, I thought that it was worth it. I would endure 3 forty-five minute lessons and could check this off of my to-do list.
Well, something happened after we got into the program. I actually began to enjoy myself. Lorna has been great. She has her work cut out with me because I really have no rhythm and I need to compartmentalize everything. However, Debbie and I have really had a lot of fun. It is nice that Lorna continues to take classes so that she is up to date on new teaching techniques and she has had to utilize these on me as I am quite a challenge.
We have also been pleased with Donald as he has worked with us on some group lessons and has been very willing to step in and with Lorna show me the "proper" way to lead a lady.
We have continued to take lessons beyond the original three and continue to look forward to our time at Chasse'. My wife and oldest daughter have enrolled in the Zumba workouts and they have come home just glowing.
Please thank Lorna and Donald for all of the hard work they have put into this to make it such an enjoyable experience."
~ Jeff Packard - Fenton, MI
"It has been a great experience. I was told that I could not dance, and I believed it. Donald has made me feel that I can, which has made me ovecome a huge obstacle (me). Donald is and has been so patient. He has made it so fun I signed up for 20 more lessons! I now believe that I can become the dance! Thank you Donald!!!
Signed: 2 Left Feet NO MORE!!"

"The instuctor, Lorna, did a very good job explaining the steps, arm, and posture appropriate for the dance. She was patient and made sure we understood what we were to do with each move she introduced."
~ Craig & Gay Adams - Fenton, MI
"Dancing is good for our marriage. It's a kind of communication where we have to trust each other; it's playtime where we can bond. Chasse and its staff are friendly, helpful, and encouraging - and I'm so glad to learn dance from them!"
~ Tim McGookey & Kate Ditzler - Fenton, MI
"My husband and I finally after 2 years claimed our 3 lesson introductory package. We had all 3 lessons with Donald. They were in the middle of December. And we thought this young man was a fabulous teacher. He has passion. I've always wanted some external way to show my love to God. Somehow to express how I feel about HIM. Dance would be so lovely. My hubby was so thoughtful in buying the package. And when we finally took the plunge we found a bit more of ourselves as one. What a wonderful experience in itself and for our marriage. It truly was something special."
~ Keeli Shave
""The entire staff beginning with the receptionists to all of the instructors make you feel welcome. I love the family atmosphere. Everyone is helping everyone else do the best job they can. Donald is a 'gem.' He makes me feel that I can do any dance I choose. In reality I have two left feet. His patience and encouragement are neverending. I find myself looking forward to each and every lesson.""
~ Gayle Slater - Flint, MI
"Taking private lessons at Chasse is the only way for me to learn how to dance. I need that individual attention that I get at Chasse. Lorna, my teacher, has taught me how to dance by observing how I learn and; therefore, she plans each lesson around what will work best for me. She is always cheerful and encouraging as she teaches various dance moves and techniques. Before I know it, the lesson is over and I had a really good time learning how to dance!"
~ Judy Dayhuff - Swartz Creek, MI
"Both Donald and Lorna are friendly, courteous and patient while providing dance lessons. It is quite evident that they are knowledgeable, competent and very skilled in their profession and both convey these traits in an easy-going and jovial manner. Jenny also exhibits a warm, friendly attitude, and is receptive to our questions. Don, Lorna and Jen are definitely a solid asset to your agency! Thanks to you ALL!"
~ Al & JoAnne Nedoff - Linden, MI
"I am taking Salsa lessons with Donald and he has been a great instructor so far. I really enjoy the class and he is a very good instructor. I am glad that you have provided our community with a great dance studio for the area and that you offer a variety of dance classes to learn. The studio is beautiful and the staff has been friendly and helpful. Thanks again for bringing our community this wonderful opportunity to learn to dance.

"Dear Lorna,
Thank you for coming to Linden Middle School and teaching the students. You are an INCREDIBLE dancer and fantastic teacher. You really have a knack for both!!! The students LOVED it!! You have such a way of building up each step that it made it really comfortable and fun for the students.
Thank you for making it so special and memorable."
~ Deb Kubiak - Linden Middle School Spanish Teacher
"Thank you guys for building such a beautiful dance floor. We've traveled to Livonia, Waterford, Plymouth, Farmington Hills and even the east side to dance and have finally found a home!"
~ Paul Riedel - Howell, MI
"My husband and I have been taking private lessons at Chasse for about a month. We have been very impressed by the facility and the staff. We are always warmly welcomed. Don is a wonderful instructor and we have been pleased at how quickly we are learning our steps. Don does an excellent job of explaining the rhythm and technique in ways that are easy to remember. We would recommend Chasse to any of our friends that are interested in dancing!"

~ Daniel & Melissa Laskey - Linden, MI
"Everybody is super here! Lorna was so patient and supportive. It took us 24 years to get the courage to do this, and we loved it! The practice sessions are a must. Even the participants at the dance parties were very warm and friendly. We would recommend it to any age or skill level! Thanks!"
~ Gary & Mary Helfmann - Fowlerville, MI
"Chasse is a great facility and the instructors really know how to break down the steps so the student can quickly get dancing. We're having so much fun and plan to keep on coming! We highly recommend Chasse and all that they have to offer.
To teach a woman with two left feet how to Salsa, Foxtrot, and Waltz seemed so effortless for Lorna and the other dance instructors. If she can teach me, she can teach anyone! I highly recommend coming to Chasse for fun and fitness! Great place!"
~ Joe Miskovich & Carol Tallman - Fenton, MI
"We feel comfortable learning and making mistakes. The instructors will work as quickly or slowly as we need. They give us a good workout mentally and physically. It is a time each week that we both look forward to!"

~ Diane Anderson - Fenton, MI
"Our ballroom dancing experience has been pure joy! Our instructor, Lorna, is exceptional. She is so patient with us and understands we are here to have fun. It has always been our dream to learn to dance, after our children went away to college. My husband surprised me with lessons for my Christmas present and we've been hooked ever since! If we can do it with two left feet, anyone can!"
~ Brent & Lisa Fulton - Byron, MI
"The instructors are all so very helpful in their own way. They make it a lot of fun and a learning experience. Whenever you walk through the door you always know there will be smiling faces, great music and dance that will brighten your day after you leave no matter what kind of day you had. Thank you!"
~ Amanda Stites - Fenton, MI
"We have enjoyed learning many new ballroom dances together. I think the quality time spent together as mother and daughter has been most memorable. Every new step built upon the basic dance step. The instruction was given in an easy to understand method. Each time we go we are continuing to grow on the dance floor. It's a lot of fun at the same time; it's also good for our physical health and mind. Thank you!"
~ Denise Stites - Fenton, MI
"The studio is beautiful!"
~ Dale Kelly - Fenton, MI
"Dancing the Salsa and Rumba were really fun! Our instructor was excellent and extremely helpful. Thanks!"

"My wife and I have been talking about taking dance lessons for a long time. Our daughter is getting married this July. This seemed like a great reason to finally pursue lessons. I heard your radio commercial on WHMI 93.5 and decided to enroll.
We have only had seven lessons so far, but have really enjoyed them. Amberly is a great instructor, she has always been positive yet challenging us to get better.
I don’t believe Melody or I will be ready for “Dancing with the Stars” by July. On the other hand, I believe we will be greatly improved. We both look forward to continuing our lessons after the wedding.
Congratulations on putting together a great team at a beautiful location. It’s great to have something like this locally available."
~ Rich & Melody McDowell - Byron, MI

"I've always had a passion for Ballroom even before "Dancing with the Stars". Now I'm retired and have the time. I love having such a wonderful dance studio here in Fenton and I hope the community continues to support it. The instructors are so friendly and patient. I'm a gal who doesn't like excercise but this is a fun way to get a real workout! "
