“Paul Sulzman Is An Outstanding Dance Teacher

Hello dance lesson enthusiast

I would like to take this opportunity to tell you that Paul Sulzman is a wonderful dance teacher.  Jackie and I have been taking beginners lessons from Paul and it is quite evident that he possesses many teaching skills that provide maximum benefit to his students.  His skills include a consummate understanding of the dance science and art. 

However, more significant to us is his unyielding patience, clarity of instruction, and outright kindness in the process.  We have made tremendous progress in our learning journey and are looking forward to working with Paul in our new hobby.  If you are looking for a dance teacher, I strongly recommend you interview Paul for the job.  You will be extremely satisfied and your dance lessons will be fruitful and productive.  Good luck with your dance project.”

“It is with great joy that I praise Mr. PAUL SULZMAN, the best ballroom instructor in the whole of Ventura County.

I’m a retired professor of languages, literature and film, and a perfectionist. My appreciation of Paul reflects my unbiased admiration for his consistent commitment to offer the absolute best to his students. Though our association is now almost 10 years, every session with him is fresh and full of energy.

He’s invariably pleasant, kind and his method of instruction reflects his inner goodness and his chivalry. I have always recommended him to people interested in ballroom dancing and will continue to do so.

We’re so lucky in this city to have him as our teacher.”

~ Maricarmen Ohara, Ph.D.

“I am pleased to express our great satisfaction with our private lessons.

Your teaching style is always comfortable and clear, and your limitless patience has allowed us to move ahead and absorb at our own pace.

Paul, it is always our delight to refer you to folks who are seeking a good teacher. Thanks as always, Paul, for your encouragement.”

~ Michael and Gina Levin, Ojai

“Life should be a wonderful balance between hard work and hard play. Dance on Friday nights with Paul offers such a balance for myself and my husband.

I look forward all week to releasing stress by learning new dance steps that we will use at weddings, cruises, nights on the town, or just dancing in the garage!

Dancing has turned our marriage into Technicolor, adding spice to a great relationship. We meet up with several couples every Friday and enjoy their company and learn from each other.

Paul is a master instructor. He is patient and able to make new dancers comfortable while adding more difficult technique for the seasoned dancers. I highly recommend his lessons for every level of dancer.”

“Sol and I have been taking private ballroom lessons with Paul for over 6 months and love every minute of it.

As a couple to be able to dance in complete sync with each other is heaven. Paul has the patience to teach complicated dance moves, make them look simple and gives you the confidence to master them.

Thank you Paul for adding another exciting new dimension to our life.”
