Simply Social Dancing, Hackensack, NJ

Lisa Skates

Welcome !  I am so glad you are checking out my website.  

My guess is that you are considering learning how to dance.   Great idea !


Here is a little background to let you know that you are in good hands.

I am the owner of Simply Social Dancing.

I started dancing when I was young.

As with most young girls, my mother wanted me to learn how to be graceful.


Background growing up:  Ballet, Modern, Jazz, African, & Folk dancing.


I began teaching partner dancing in 1989.

Subsequently, I taught and trained in several dance studios in the New York area,

primarily Dance Charisma, Dancesport and Dance Manhattan.

I competed in Internation Latin and Ballroom.

Followed by extensive training in club Salsa, Argentine Tango, and West Coast Swing. 


Although my background provided a strong technical foundation in several dances, 

my focus is on social dancing (not competitive style dance).

I am interested in the one-to-one communication, rather than performing for an audience.

Classes:  Argentine Tango, Salsa and West Coast Swing.


I also enjoy working with wedding couples creating a unique dance for their celebration.


Everyone can be expressive and enjoy dancing.

There is the challenge of moving harmoniously with a partner.   

Together, you respond to the different rhythms and feeling of the music.

Plus, you have a chance to meet new people in classes and at social gatherings.


I am proud to teach social dancing and watch how it brings enjoyment to the lives of everyday people.

My husband and I took wedding dance classes for our first dance. It was totally worth it. We learned more than we expected. We didn’t just learn about the dance, but about ourselves as a new couple, about posture and it was a great quality time together. - Natalia & Jake
