Dale & Peggy Bates

With over 30 years of teaching social dancing and dancing together for 18 years DancZenSV owners Dale & Peggy Bates know how to spread the Joy of Dancing Together. Following his passion for dancing Dale learned how to dance the traditional way…by going to great dance clubs and learning from watching and dancing with great dancers. His eclectic dance background includes dancing in Austrian Tea Bars, Indian Discos, and most of all from Chicago South Side Blues venues. Peggy uses her love of music, movement and a great ear for rhythm interpret dances in her own unique way.
Focusing on social dancing rather than competition & performance, they teach the natural way to dance to any music anywhere. They offer a series of creative and fun dance workshops, social dance evenings as well as private dance lessons and custom Wedding Dance Packages. Their Line Dancing classes give everyone the opportunity to learn new dance moves and patterns to a variety of music without a partner. Dale & Peggy live in Ketchum, ID and teach at Studio Move.
TESTIMONIALS
We thoroughly enjoyed your Fun-damantals dance workshop, and would recommend it to anyone who wants to learn to dance. You presented excellent, well-planned classes that were easy to follow and lots of fun. Compared with a few other lessons we’ve taken, yours were by far the best. You guys rock!

Two great instructors, one fun time for every couple! And you learn new steps and new dances.

Dale and Peggy have developed an easy, simple, and fun system of teaching the dancing basics so folks can get up and partner dance remarkably quickly and smoothly. We noticed huge improvement right away and highly recommend their classes to all.
– Kate Woods
Having taken two workshops I now have the confidence and skill to feel comfortable and to be a supportive partner on just about any dance floor be it Ballroom, Western Swing, Latin or Jazz. These classes have greatly improved my basic dance skills and most importantly given me a clear understanding of my role as the leader.
