For those of you who have not yet had the pleasure of studying dance with Joan Walton, we'd like to share with you some comments from Colorado dancers who have attended her classes in California and elsewhere.

“I've taken classes with Joan Walton since 1998, and she is one of my favorite teachers. She gives very well-organized, detailed classes, and her teaching style is highly enthusiastic and fun. She knows a lot about historical context, and is a skilled pedagogue. Don't miss her workshop if you love or feel at all curious about ragtime-era dance. You will get your money's worth and have a great time.”
Carol Osborne, Louisville, CO

"I've always enjoyed Joan's classes, from her morning stretch/yoga, to exploring switched gender roles in Polka. Joan's teaching is always clear, succinct, and lively. You don't want to miss Joan, no matter what she's teaching!"
Don O’Hara, Denver, CO

“We can't think of any instructor we've enjoyed more than Joan. We've attended three Stanford Waltz Weeks where we've taken classes from Joan as well as the Vintage weekend at Silverton. Joan is energetic and fun; her classes are imaginative and well-paced; and she connects with the students and adapts her teaching to their needs. She is a compelling and embracing teacher and we wouldn't think of missing her Ragtime weekend in Denver. We recommend her classes highly to everyone who enjoys dancing and wants to learn more.”
Phyllis Sharp and Robert Jacobowitz, Denver, CO

"I don't know any dance teacher whose inherent dancing glee is so infectious as Joan Walton's. You can't help but have the time of your life."
