Sandi Vasatka

Sandi Vasatka moved to Sheboygan with her husband Jim from Nebraska in the early 1970s. The dancing bug bit them during the disco era. Yes, platform shoes, bell-bottom pants and Afros. They began taking extensive dance lessons at Arthur Murray, Fred Astaire and several independent studios in the Milwaukee area. Their teaching career was launched by showing their children intricate dance steps by holding hands as they danced on the tops of their feet. It was quickly discovered that this technique did not work with adults, so they enrolled in various dance workshops to strengthen their teaching skills. Since losing Jim, her favorite dance partner, to cancer, Sandi has continued teaching and sharing her love of dance at her home studio in Plymouth.
