King’s Way Christian High School students recently completed a six-week introduction to dance class at the Vancouver Ballroom. Husband-and-wife dance teachers Joseph and Julieann Platt gave students a crash course in the fox trot, waltz, cha cha, rumba and swing.

Joseph said the duo teaches community classes “because it’s fun and we change people’s lives.”
New classes for King’s Way students begin Jan. 9. This time, the six-week session will focus on swing dancing. The Platts will offer specialized sessions on each of their five types of dance through the summer.
“I think most of the kids will take all of the series,” Joseph said. “They will get a real well-rounded understanding of the five basic dances.”
