Pattie WellsPattie Wells opened Pattie Wells' Dancetime Center on January 5, 1998, after 25 years in the dance business. She has taught dancing as her full-time profession since 1976; very few instructors in San Diego share this distinction. She rose from teacher to supervisor and finally to manager of the Sunshine Ballroom and Dance Studio in the late 1970s. Pattie went into business for herself in May of 1980. She has trained many teachers as well as students and was the first to create many concepts widely used today in the dance business. She was instrumental in the creation of the Professional Dance Instructors Association (PDIA) in 1980. In 1982 she brought back the term Jitterbug locally as a name for single time East Coast Swing; she is founder of the San Diego Jitterbug Club which has been a huge success (120-220 dancers attending weekly) since it started in March 1984.She instituted progressive dance classes; widely expanded the class system in dancing; was the first instructor to promote and publicize Night in Vienna and offer classes and workshop for this fancy-dress/costume ball as well as sell tickets. Many of Pattie's past students currently teach dancing and are very influential in the dance scene in San Diego. She is the only one to start and then continue to let students repeat classes for free. Pattie was first to feature dance classes in Learning Annex. |
