About Cianne
My training is with the Golden State Dance Teachers Association (GSDTA). I have 36 years of experience teaching partner dances.
In addition to my adult lessons, I also taught group classes of homeschooled teenagers for seven years.
I am most highly regarded for teaching leading and following skills and proper technique. I teach social dance, which basically means no “routines”, all of the moves are led and followed by the partners. In the group classes I used to teach, I danced with the women and the men, so I’m equally proficient in both leading and following. Almost anyone can learn dance steps, but if you don’t learn to lead or follow you will never be able to dance well, or feel the joy of dancing with a partner and moving as one. It’s heaven on a dance floor. ❤️
These are the partner dances I teach:
Country 2-Step
Western Waltz
Schottische
10-Step
Polka
Niteclub two step
Basic slow dancing
Waltz
Foxtrot and “Swingin’ Foxtrot”
East Coast swing
West Coast swing
Swing flips and tricks
Salsa
Bachata
Tango
Samba
Rumba
Whether you have never danced in your life or are an experienced dancer looking for new material or help with technique, a bride & groom or father & daughter preparing for a wedding dance, or someone who's just looking for some exercise or a fun social activity, I offer reasonably priced social dance lessons with no long-term commitments.
For 36 years my heartfelt desire and goal has been to inspire my students to develop a love of dance, to grow in their confidence and skills, and to discover the joy of learning to express themselves through moving to music. I love meeting new people and working with all ages of students.
I taught homeschooled teenagers from 13 to 18 years old, ballroom, swing, and country western dancing for seven years and fell in love with working with them. I’ve stayed in contact with a lot of them through Facebook, Instagram and TikTok, and I’m thrilled to see that they are still dancing. I love getting to see the videos they post of them dancing. When I first started with them I was surprised to hear that they were interested in ballroom dancing, until they told me that they have watched all of the old black & white movies of Fred Astaire & Ginger Rogers, Gene Kelly, etc. and they love those dances. ❤️
While I stated on my profile on this site that I only teach singles and couples, I would love to find a homeschooled group of teenagers to work with again.
I took a class in Country-Western dancing at a local dance hall, and within 2 months the teacher asked me to co-teach with her. After 3 months of doing that, the most popular Country bar in town offered me a job. I taught there for 7 years, three nights a week for two hours a night.
Then I realized I wanted to learn more technique and how to really be a professionally trained teacher, so I signed up with the Golden State Dance Teacher's Association and took their classes in how to teach. I also drove to Los Angeles nearly every weekend for several years to take group and private lessons to learn both the leader's and follower's parts in Ballroom, Swing, Latin and Country-Western dancing. I still take continuing education classes.
I have trained with the Golden State Dance Teacher's Association since 1985, taking continuing education classes to stay up with the latest information.

English
Find out what, if any, dance experience they have, either with or without a partner. Ask them what type of music they normally listen to and would want to dance to. Begin with teaching them the basic foot positions, how to find the downbeat in the music, and then progress to showing them the basic footwork to the chosen dance. I highly stress technique and leading and following skills over just teaching them patterns.
For 36 years I have mostly worked with adults, from their early 20's to some in their 70's. They are my primary demographic. For the last 6 years I have taught Ballroom, Swing and Latin dancing to home schooled teenagers aged 13-18. I enjoy working with adults, but really also LOVE working with the teens.
Make sure the teacher doesn't just dance great and win competitions, but that they are a good teacher. Those are not necessarily the same thing. Look at their reviews, check out their websites, and experience counts, so factor in how many years of continuous experience they have.
Haven't been to many events for awhile, but I will be attending a 3-hour technique class on 9/22/18 from Brandi Guild, one of the best instructor's I've ever taken a class from. Will be driving to Moorpark, CA to take the class, but I'd drive a lot farther to take a class from her!
Review
All of our reviews are collected by us and are 100% reliable. They correspond to a real experience lived by the students of Cianne.
Perfect! Cianne has a delightful bubbly personality. She does wonderfully with teens as well as Seniors. My whole family has taken lessons from her and my son and daughter both danced competitively and socially. She is patient and makes the whole experience fun even if you have NO background in dancing. I highly recommend her.

Cianne is passionate about you being able to dance with any partner and not be dependent on a pattern. This was very helpful in preparing to dance at events.
I found her be quite respectful of an old man 👴 like me. Taught a lot of good moves and was patient with me.
Very professional and encouraging!
As a fellow dance instructor, I have known Cianne for over 30 years. She has always put her students first with a caring and encouraging manner. Her work with young people is well known throughout the dance instruction family.
I can comfortably recommend Cianne and her excellent classes. I've had a handful of different instructors the last few years and she has been the easiest to learn with. The lessons she offered are memorable and she had a fun personality. Had I not moved out of state, I'd still take her classes regularly to this day. Don't miss out!
I've had lessons with Cianne for most of a year - love the classes and styles of dance she chooses. She's patient and cheery and really cares about your experience!
Cianne is an excellent dancer & an even better teacher. I enjoyed taking lessons from her because she is patient, easy to understand and she makes learning fun. My favorite dance she taught me is the West Coast Swing. So fun! Cianne is the BEST teacher! You can't go wrong taking a class or two from Cianne!
I've taken dozens of classes with Cianne over the last 8 years. She's a great instructor and had me dancing the very first night. I would highly recommend taking dance lessons from Cianne.
If your anything like me, dancing is hard. Trying to learn the footwork and moves often left me frustrated.
Then along came Cianne.
My wife and I started taking lessons with her so we could be better dancers. It was so much fun. For the first time, moves started to make sense and dancing was fun.
Sure it still takes hard work, but having Cianne around to watch and teach us made an incredible impact.
I can’t wait to take more lessons from Cianne.She was very patient and understanding. Her knowledge of dance was impressive. We will continue to use her for future choreography and lessons.
She was fun, energetic and very knowledgeable.
Took her time to make sure everyone understood what she was teaching!View more recommendations
