Hello friends and dancers, as we get closer to our next Fall Term, I would love to hear from those I have taught or if I taught your children. If you would like to leave a review, please do so.

I would like to give a shout out to this woman right here. She has progressed from beginner to beginner/ intermediate Step Dancing during covid!! She has been so dedicated and committed to her lessons and even when going virtual wasn't ideal as in person lessons, she never stopped. I have also been coaching her through her health & wellness journey as well. She is coachable and has taken on healthier habits and lifestyle....
