✨ We absolutely love opportunities like this!
Seeing smiles, laughter, and even a little dancing from the residents at Newbury Living made the day so special. Thank you again for having Tallis & Bernie — and thank you, Amy, for the incredibly kind review ❤️
Moments like these are exactly why we love sharing dance with our community!

Tallis and Bernie had such a wonderful time performing for the residents at Newbury Living! 💃✨
There’s nothing better than getting out into the community and sharing joy, connection, and smiles through dance. At Des Moines Ballroom, we love not only teaching in the studio, but also bringing the joy of dance to our neighbors and community events.
A special thank you to Amy for your kind words:
“Our residents loved having you here. The music, atmosphere, and joy you brought to the room were truly special, and it was wonderful to see so much smiling and dancing.”
We are so grateful for opportunities like this and honored to make a positive impact through dance. ❤️
Looking to add something special to your next event? Whether it’s a social gathering, community event, or corporate function, we’d love to bring the joy of dance to you!
