Delaware House

My wife and I were lucky enough to learn an amazingly choreographed first dance from Melissa before our wedding in September of last year. Not only were we absolutely wowed by the first dance (along with all our guests), but we found a deep love of dance through Melissa and her awesome lessons! We've met with Melissa bi-weekly since then for a myriad of lessons in all sorts of dances! You name it, she can teach it; from rumba, salsa, cha-cha, and swing, to waltz, foxtrot, and all the ballroom dances. The expertise, care, precision, and fun she brings to each lesson are top notch and we completely adore her! We thank her all the time for all the fun she's brought us and know she can do the same to anyone else looking to learn! -The Greiners

We had the absolute BEST experience working with Melissa Dexter for our wedding dance! My husband and I were complete beginners and we were both a little nervous about learning in such a short time. But in just two months, Melissa prepared us to confidently perform a beautiful first dance in front of all our family and friends. Melissa was patient, encouraging, and incredibly skilled at breaking down the steps in a way that was easy to follow. She made every lesson fun, and we always left feeling more confident than when we walked in. The personal attention and dedication to making sure our dance was uniquely ours meant so much to us. If you’re looking for a wedding dance instructor who is not only professional but also creates a relaxed and fun atmosphere, I cannot recommend Melissa highly enough!

We had the pleasure of working with Melissa Dexter, an incredible ballroom dance teacher, who transformed our wedding dance experience. My husband, initially an uncomfortable dancer, found confidence under her guidance. She tailored a manageable routine that felt natural and personal to us, making our first dance truly memorable. Her expertise in helping us choose the perfect song that resonated with our love story was the ultimate touch. We couldn’t have asked for a better experience—highly recommended!

I got hooked on salsa dancing after attending one of the First Friday Salsa Socials. I started taking classes with Matt and Betsy soon after, and have been visiting the Delaware House on a weekly basis for classes ever since! It's a very clean, open, and well maintained facility with a wide variety of services. I come up from Racine each week, and I know of others who come from out of town as well to take advantage of all the Delaware House has to offer. I highly recommend checking it out!

A treasure in Bay View! Kathy Howell's business Bodies in Motion is located here. Kathy is the best physical therapist in the city! She has helped me recover from several surgeries quickly and with care. Delaware House also has a beautiful dance studio with lessons for all abilities, private personal training, clinical skin care treatments and many other holistic treatments that are available. I've used several of these services and love them all!
