Donna was a consummate professional. She knows as much about dancing and choreography than anyone else you might find and does private lessons at a great rate! I could not recommend her more highly and will definitely have any of my friends or family come to her if trying to learn a routine or just learn how to dance different styles of dance!

Donna is an absolute rockstar! My fiancé and I wanted our first dance to be a representation of our personalities, culture, and love. Donna helped us refine our vision and she was such a wonderful teacher. So many of our guests told us that our first dance was the best first dance they have ever seen, and we might be biased but we definitely agree lol. We had several dips and lifts and we were able to execute them flawlessly. She put together choreography that perfectly matched our song choices. We are so thankful to Donna for her help and guidance! If you are considering booking her for any of your wedding dances, do it! You definitely won’t regret it.

Details: 26-35 • 36-45 • Two people • Ballroom • No experience • Preparing for a wedding • I'm flexible • As recommended by professional • At the pro’s location • My home, venue, etc.

Donna was absolutely amazing! From the very first lesson she made us feel relaxed and confident. We were nervous beginners, but she taught us in such a patient, fun, and encouraging way that our first dance became one of our favorite moments of the whole wedding. Every lesson felt easy and enjoyable thanks to her warm personality. We’re so grateful for her guidance and couldn’t recommend her more!

My daughter and I needed a father-daughter dance for her upcoming wedding. Neither one of us can dance. Donna was a fantastic, patient teacher. She was actually able to help us do a dance routine. Thanks so much I would recommend Donna to anyone.
