So why the name Cut A Rug?

 

The term "cut a rug" is a slang term that was used by the youth dating back to the early 1920's. What the term specifically refers to has been debated over time, however, a consistent factor in all discussions is that the term was used in reference to dancing. It is a popular opinion that it was a reference to energetic dance moves executed very impressively by an individual. Though this phrase seems obsolete in today's society, it actually describes the type of service I provide perfectly. With the help of a dancer who has years of experience coming to you with guidelines, coaching, and a little humor you'll be able to cut a rug on the dance floor in no time!
