I worked for Sharon back in the 90's as her receptionist. she was the owner of The Dance Factory in North Seattle. The studio was always buzzing with up and coming events, theme parties as well as group vacations, involving the instructors and students. Sharon's high standard of always keeping herself and staff current and on the cutting edge of latest Dance trends was important to her. Her professionalism and knowledge of dance is top notch. Her love of dance shows in every aspect of her life. Truly an inspiration!

My husband and I started with Sharon to learn Texas Two Step and to prepare for our son’s wedding. That was only the beginning! We are now on our second package and are enjoying learning West Coast Swing, along with other new steps. Sharon is always patient, encouraging, and makes learning enjoyable. The added reward is learning something new together as a couple. We have always enjoyed dancing, but this has brought it to a new level.
I signed up for lessons with Sharon so that I could learn West Coast Swing, and could dance with the man I'm dating. He has been doing WCS for 3 years. Sharon got me to the point of being able to dance with my partner after only 4 lessons, and was flexible enough to let me bring my partner and she worked with both of us. Most important, she is a lot of fun! Sharon isn't judgmental. She focuses on my abilities and goes at my pace. Also, she emphasizes fundamentals (posture, positioning of arms, etc.) from the beginning so that I won't develop bad habits. I heartily recommend her.
I was a student of Sharon's for two years, and enjoyed every weekly lesson. Ballroom dancing is invigorating, quite challenging, and sometimes frustrating, but watching head and hand positions while trying to remember the steps is also quite good for the brain. Besides, Sharon is patient, encouraging, and funny, so by the time circumstances ended this relationship, I had come to appreciate and respect ballroom dancing as never before. The hard work and the many laughs, as well as the constant appraisal of Mindy Lou, Sharon's dog, were a looked-forward-to part of my every week.
I just went tonight to their monthly dance . It is truly a wonderful dance. They have dancers of all levels there. The floor is beautiful and wonderful to dance on. Everybody is very friendly and helpful and the management team and music are great! They have monthly dances(first Saturday of the month), but in September because it is Labor Day Weekend it will be the 2nd Saturday of the month. Then They will go back to their regular schedule of Every first Saturday in the MOnth. I will definitely be back.
Sharon Ardelle is such a professional when it comes to teaching ballroom dancing. She has a great personality and makes learning to dance so much fun. I can highly recommend Sharon Ardelle and know you will enjoy your dance lessons when you take from one of the best.
Sharon is fabulous! She knows her stuff and will get you dancing. Knowing nothing about dance, we were impressed at how quickly she got us ready for our wedding.
