About Us

Professional dance instructor Tonya Bennett is 'No Frills Dance.'  After 10+ fun and successful years in a nationally franchised dance studio, she is now on her own, teaching as an independent dance instructor.

She brings years of training and hands-on experience in both dance and teaching to the table.  She is skilled at making the finer points of dance accessible to the beginner, and is especially fond of teaching couples to dance together.  There is both an art and a science to dance, and Tonya has a good handle on both, as well as the ability to transfer that information to her students.  Oh, yeah - and the disposition to approach all that technique and learning with a great sense of fun.  Because if it isn't fun, then why on earth are we doing it?

Tonya enjoys being an independent teacher, which allows her to offer quality lessons at an affordable rate.  She doesn't have a big splashy ballroom, classes & parties of 50+ people, or a staff of dance hosts.  But if you're just looking for excellent, fun, and caring instruction at an affordable rate, without all the frills, you've come to the right place.
