Patricia & Jarrett Lambert – West Coast Swing Instructors (Upper Level & Children) & CB Dance Studios Event Planners
Patricia Lambert began taking her first dance lessons from her now husband, Jarrett Lambert, when they met as a part of their middle school choir’s Disney musical performance.
Since that time, she has trained in ballroom, Latin, and swing, specializing in West Coast Swing, competing on the WSDC circuit and continuing her training.
Patricia has been teaching since 2012 in Montana and the surrounding areas, combining her multi-faceted dance training with her formal education degree. In addition to teaching adult West Coast Swing and wedding dance lessons, Patricia has been running a youth SwingKidz program for the past five years and has coordinated juniors programs at national conventions.
She has instructed for Dancing with the Big Sky Stars and trained her students for local and national competition, including Rising Star routine.
Regina Rose (Ballroom & Latin Instructor)
Regina began dancing in NYC in her early 20s after she caught the swing and salsa bug. After moving to Virginia Beach, she became a Salsa addict with Mambo Room and enjoyed many events throughout Hampton Roads. She never intended to stay in Virginia but fell in love with the various dance communities, volunteering with CERT and Red Cross and realized she wanted to open her own studio.
In 2012, she studied the DVIDA American Ballroom & Rhythm styles through Magic Moments Dance Studio’s teacher training program and various coaches in the area until she opened her 1st Dance Studio dba 757 Dance in 2015. Through her years in Hampton Roads, she was active and on the board for Tidewater Chapter USA Dance, took students to competition, attended and volunteered at many dance fundraisers, choreographed and assisted with music/dance videos that went viral as well as following her passion to work with wedding couples to learn how to enjoy their 1st dance together.
In 2021 she embarked on a new path to create a home in Yorktown, sold her business location in Virginia Beach and will be part of our team at CB Dance Studios in Yorktown VA. Cindy Norge the owner and I have worked together for several years, and we have a great relationship and I’m excited to be part of her team.
Scott & Julia Verden- American & International Ballroom Instructor
Not Shown in Instructors Picture.
Scott began dancing in 1997. After deciding that he was only going to learn by taking lessons, he enrolled in a Quickstep class at what was Doug High Dance Studio, and that was that. He was hooked! For the next 16 years, Scott continued to train, and beginning in 2000 to teach and showcase himself and his students around the region, in American-style and especially International Style, Latin and Standard.
Julia started to dance in 2007 by taking a Salsa class. Her teacher encouraged her to try different dances and her love for ballroom dancing, especially International Style, began.
Scott and Julia met on the dance floor in 2009, when Scott was substitute-teaching a Quickstep class for his coach, and the two began dancing together in 2011.
Starting in 2012 through 2015 they competed in Bronze and Silver-Level (and some entries into Gold-level) International Standard and International Latin, choosing USA Dance competitions for the higher number of competitors.
Scott and Julia both love to teach and love the connection they develop with the people they teach. There is always a special way to explain techniques to help students understand a new concept, and finding that way to explain is what they love about teaching!
