Wine Country Dance

When it comes to dancing and preparing for a wedding that you want your first dance to go off without a hitch. Make sure you give Christine a call. I cannot thank her enough for her not only professionalism, her timely manner and the fact when it comes down to it just amazement. That’s it she made myself and my fiancé comfortable. I mean it was a week until our big day and she came to the House and it was the best! Gave us notes pointers and all you could ask for with a private lesson.
Christine thank you so much!
From the future Mr. and Mrs. Carvalho

Christine helped us choreograph our first dance for our wedding about a month ago. My husband and I have no real formal dance experience and did not want to look ridiculous swaying back and forth like we were at a highschool prom. We chose to dance to an upbeat-​ish song that was a bit challenging to create a routine for (It Just Comes Natural-​George Strait). Christine made it work! We felt relieved and confident making our grand entrance having spent 3 sessions with Christine. I’ll be honest we forgot a couple of the steps towards the end as we didn’t have a whole lot of time to keep practicing the last week before the wedding (so stressful) but we managed to pull it off anyway and our guests loved it! Thanks Christine!

Christine is great! Our first dance was so fun & we wouldn’t have had that amazing memory without Christine. I highly recommend Wine Country dance!

Christine was so flexible in meeting us and choreographed our first dance in just a few sessions! We had so much fun learning our dance! I am not the most choreographed and smooth dancer (let’s just say me on my own sucks) and got lots of compliments on our dance!

My wife and I were nervous for our first dance as we were not experienced dancers in any way. Actually, we had no rhythm at all. After researching options we found Christine at Wine Country Dance. We were apprehensive about dance lessons in the beginning but shortly into the first lesson we knew we made the right decision. Christine was extremely patient and kind and helped us create a perfect first dance. When we were finished we were way more relaxed and felt confident to dance comfortably in front of all our friends and family. My wife and I highly recommend Christine for a wedding or any other special event!

Wine Country Dance (Christine) is Fabulous! My wife wanted to learn to dance together and not like we did in the 80’s — wasn’t sure if it was possible… We did the four lesson pack… Christine made it happen and she was Awesome and entertaining! I have to admit I enjoyed myself and I know I earned points with my wife! Many Thanks to Wine Country Dance.

Christine is such a pleasure to work with! She is able to work with different types of music, different dance skills levels and different personalities. She was always on time, organized and made the hour dance lessons fly by! My fiancé and I now feel confident and excited about our first dance as a married couple. Thanks, Christine, for choreographing a great dance that’s not only romantic, but shows our personalities!

Wine Country Dance is a GREAT place for couples looking for a first dance routine. My husband and I had three dance lessons with Christine who came to our home for all three lessons. We had a list of a couple songs we were considering and Christine sent us some recommendations as well for a first dance song, mother-​son song, father-​daughting song, etc.
We are in no way experienced dancers, and Christine was very patient and encouraging to us. Our routine perfectly fit the song we wound up choosing and wasn’t too complicated for us. She would be perfect for any type of dance lesson-​I highly recommend! Thank you again Christine!

I was preparing for my wedding and didn’t want to just sway back and forth for my first dance. Christine was an absolutely amazing teacher. She choreographed the entire dance and walked us through it step by step. I never thought I would be this comfortable doing it, but by the end of the last lesson I was extremely confident. Thank you Christine!

Two words — simply awesome. My husband and I really want to learn various styles of ballroom dance, and Christine has just been fantastic. She is patient, incredibly knowledgeable, and a lot of fun to work with. We really look forward to our lessons, and always come away feeling great. Christine also makes us a CD of relevant music that we can take with us after the lesson. We are extremely happy working with her!

My husband and I had no idea how to dance before our lessons with Christine. We were gifted with four lessons after getting engaged and were nervous to go.
At our first lesson, Christine put us at ease. She’s friendly, casual, and a great instructor. We had a song for our first dance that was a little hard to work with, but she picked it apart into 3 choreographed segments. She pays special attention to stance, eye contact. all the little things that can make you look like a natural.
Even though we learned a lot at our first lesson, I recommend the full 4 lessons and to plan far in advance to give yourselves time to practice.
Christine felt like a family friend by the end of our sessions and we actually miss the fun we had learning from her.

I’m not one to be modest, so I’m certainly not going to start now with this review… I’m a great dancer… BOOM…my fiancé would agree. Anyway, beyond the kidding and self promotion, working with Christine to choreograph the elements of our first dance for our wedding was a game changer.
Christine has been incredibly patient, well organized and very thoughtful not only about the song we are dancing to, but also about our personality as a couple. She picked up right away on our playful and silly vibe and has had no problem embracing that and having it show in our dance. We’ve had a great time working with her and I would highly recommend her services to any couple out there looking to make their wedding a perfect evening.
If you are looking to add a few key moves to your dance or choreograph the entire thing, Christine is the best resource in the Bay Area and in Napa.

My husband and I are so happy that we took dance lessons with Christine. She is a lovely lady with great experience, patience, energy and a sense of humor which was especially needed for our four left feet. We are in our late 60’s and now feel confident going out on the dance floor when traveling on cruise ships or at weddings. We needed her 20 years ago. She is a treasure.

My fiancé and I just finished up two lessons with Christine Blanton of Wine Country Dance. She did a great job working with us on coming up with a custom dance for our first dance. When my fiancé first suggested that we take dance lessons I was a bit hesitant. But after taking them with Christine I think it is some of the best money we spent on our wedding. I would highly recommend!

My Husband and I live in Sonoma and are thrilled with our weekly «garage» dance lessons with Christine! She brings the music, expertise and a fabulous sense of humor. My Husband is even more excited for the next lesson than I am. Who would have thought? I don’t think anyone else would have been able to spark this interest in him. Don’t walk, but run to get on her dance card!!!

Christine Blanton of Wine Country Dance held a single class for a group of us at Valley Community Church in Napa, and she had us all dancing and doing turns within a couple of hours! It was lots of fun. Christine is a pro — she even got ME to look like I knew what I was doing, and everyone had a great time. I can highly recommend her as a dance teacher.
