2 LEFT FEAT
DANCE INSTRUCTION... for the Curious or the Serious
Kathi Bobillot moved from WA State to Quail Creek in 2013.
During her 25-year career in WA, Kathi received
the Top Teacher Award 22 times.
Here is what her former colleagues and clients have to say...
From Mona R...
"I thoroughly enjoyed the many years of lessons I took with Kathi Bobillot, both private and classes
with her and her former partner. Kathi is a professional in every way, with a warm manner and good
sense of humor- always a plus when dealing with people who are working hard to learn a new dance.
She is very skilled at breaking down the steps for both leads and follows. Kathi works well with students
of all skill levels and gently encourages everyone to grow as dancers."
From Rich & Liz H...
"Kathi Bobillot is an excellent and inspiring dance instructor. She motivated me to stick with it at
the beginning when learning new steps was difficult. She knows how to break down the moves and
make it fun. Calm and encouraging she gently pushes you to find the dancer in yourself. My wife and I
have so much fun together now that we have both learned to dance so well."
From Rusty B...
"Dancers: I have taken dance lessons from Kathi Bobillot since 1992. I started out doing group lessons
and soon changed to private lessons. If you want to learn how to dance on any level she can teach you.
I recommend you go to the group lessons and take some private if you want to get really good fast.
Kathi is an excellent instructor who makes dancing fun. I really miss her dance lesson each week.
I entered some dance competitions with her and we won. She can take you to any level you want to learn. Kathi with Buddy Schwimmer
She is the best!"
From Kurt P...
"Kathi Bobillot was my dance instructor on and off for more than a decade. She absolutely helped me impress my dancer wife with my ever growing skills, and even convinced me to enter a few dance competitions where I ended up doing very well for a person with no business dancing! Very knowledgeable and fun to learn from, which is always a plus."
From Paulette M...
"I can highly recommend you and your teaching skills… I have long thought of you as my role model and enjoyed the years of your expert teaching skills…your dedication and caring for your students are unsurpassed…Just so sorry to lose you to the southwest...my loss their gain…hope you will come see us again one of these days soon and give us a bit more of you fantastic teaching skills…"
From Roger D...
"In the Seattle suburbs, I attended Kathi's group dance lessons almost every week for about 10 years, plus occasional private lessons. I enjoyed her personalized instruction, which for me was not too much emphasis on nit-picking technique, but emphasis on dance patterns that work in social dancing. Although she is fully capable of teaching detailed techniques for competitors, she knows how to tailor her lessons that are appropriate for each student. I highly recommend Kathi Bobillot as a ballroom dance instructor (and Country Western too)!"
From Andy M...
"Kathi and her partner Tom sponsored the best ballroom dance for social dancers in the Seattle area. It was relaxed and fun. Kathi is always supportive of new dancers and brings gentle corrections to keep you on track while she maintains a focus on making dancing enjoyable for both people in the partnership."
From Terry & Joan S...
“Kathi has the ability to explain dance steps and moves so you can understand them. She makes dancing pure joy. We wish she was still here!” “Unbelievably patient…” “Easy to see why she’s been named Best Teacher at numerous student competitions.” “Math major and blond, yet still a remarkable and artistic dance teacher.”
From Fred & Bobbie M...
“My husband and I had dance instruction with Kathi for about 11 years. There are so many accolades that describe her! Amazingly knowledgeable, certified, patient, teacher extraordinaire! She has received many “best teacher” awards, and we will take her back any time! What a prize you have in Kathi!”
“Dancing for us is an activity we can do together as well as being a terrific physical and mental exercise. Kathi is a great instructor; we were fortunate to have her as our teacher for 11 years. She gave us this gift of a wonderful social activity we can enjoy as a couple.”
From Bruce S...
"I've taken dance lessons from a number of different teachers in the 3 years or so since I've started dancing. I can honestly say that Kathi Bobillot tops the list. She teaches more than just the steps, you get the history, etiquette, all sorts of nuances and ways to look at things that you just don't get from others. And when you get to the right point, she'll teach you the X-factor, sort of a coolness factor of your dance. Kathi is such a classy lady, and I wish she was still up here in the Seattle area. Prospective students, you are all lucky to have her in your area."
From Mark & Cindi B...
"To all dancers... My husband and I have taken lessons from Kathi Bobbilot for about 4 years. We have taken both group and private lessons. Kathi is experienced in all dances from Bolero to Waltz, Country, Ballroom, and Latin. She can teach all dance levels. She is great at step patterns and technique, what makes a dance a "dance". She also has a lot of styling tips to make people look better on the dance floor. She is very creative at developing routines. One thing that I found very helpful is her way to make turns. It was something I struggled with until she made it easy for me. We highly recommend her!!"
From Earl S...
"Very competent, knowledgeable, patient, caring, and compassionate. If those are qualities that you value in a dance teacher, then Kathi Bobillot is the dance teacher you want. You are lucky if you are where Kathi is teaching, because there are few dance teachers as highly qualified to teach ballroom dancing as she. If you're interested in becoming good enough to win in dance competitions, or just learn enough to have fun, Kathi can get you there. I know because I've done both."
From Jeff & Barb C...
"My husband and I met Kathi Bobillot when we realized we wanted to be able to dance at our son's wedding. What a wonderful adventure it turned out to be! Kathi made our dance lessons so comfortable, fun and rewarding! Even my husband looked forward to 'dance class'. We fit in as many lessons as we could in 2 months, and felt that we learned more than we could have ever imagined. We were actually sad when the wedding came and went, and there was no urgency to continue taking classes. Luckily, our daughter then got engaged, so we were back with Kathi, having her choreograph the father-daughter dance (even while our daughter was on the other side of the country). Kathi is so willing to do whatever it takes to make things work. We cannot say enough about Kathi's professionalism, attention to detail, and wonderful personality. It is a pleasure to recommend Kathi Bobillot as an absolutely first-rate dance instructor."
From Dr. Marty N & Dr. Sandy R...
"So, you want to dance? What better way than to start (or continue) with one of best! How do we know that? My wife and I met taking dance lessons. Six instructors and two years later we found Kathi Bobillot. Nearly 15 years later we have not changed instructors... well, until she headed your way. Our loss is your gain. You will find Kathi personable and professional. Whether you're starting out or have been dancing for years, she'll take away your fears and your two left feet. Dr. Sandra Rice and Dr. Marty Nizlek (former Tucson resident with 2 dominant left feet.)"
From Annette S...
"Kathi Bobillot began teaching Salsa to my son who was in high school! He had such a FUN time and was easily learning the dance with Kathi’s OUTSTANDING instruction that soon my younger son, husband, and I became Kathi’s devoted students! We learned multiple types of dances, and I even began competing and winning First Place ribbons! Kathi always made us feel good about ourselves and made dancing with a partner enjoyable! We miss her and her unique instruction tremendously, and I’m sure you will love working with her, too!"
