Jan Chamberlin

“Jan is a very good teacher. She breaks down the routines in parts, and we add on each week until we have a complete dance. She repeats step combinations several times and always asks if we need to go over any part of the dance. She also has the ability to teach steps in many different ways, so we all get it down. She makes it fun, and we love to laugh and enjoy our time together.” –Open Tap

“I have been taking tap dancing with Jan through WBCA. Through dance, I have experienced a liberating boost of confidence. I am so grateful for the experience and the expertise of my teacher!” –Open Tap

“I love the dance classes through WBCA. Jan is an excellent instructor. She is always prepared, orients her material to the skill level of the class, but continues to challenge her students as well. While she is a super experienced dancer and instructor, she is also funny and has a great wit and sense of humor. She seems to love the community/social aspect of her classes, too.  I have been so happy with the classes I have taken from her and am appreciative of WBCA for offering these classes.” –Open Tap
