Vanessa is a very calm and relaxed person which is important when the students like myself are a little nervous. She also has the ability to create your vision of how you want the dance to be and look which involves many adjustments. My daughter said to Vanessa and I quote: Thank god I have you. Vanessa always has a pleasant smile and would recommend her highly to anyone. Thank you Vanessa. We appreciate you.

V is a wonderful instructor. I asked her to help me get in dance shape for my 50th high school reunion and she did. We had one session and she made me feel confident that I would look great while dancing. My reunion was great and I truly enjoyed myself.

V was perfect for me. I have two left feet and needed to learn how to dance for my daughter's wedding coming up in two weeks and V was fantastic. Very patient, understanding and extremely helpful. I can HIGHLY recommend her as a dance instructor for just about any occasion. Thank you V!!!

Coming from someone (husband) who is not what I consider to be a proficient dancer,
Vanessa crafted a routine that was simple yet elegant; I felt it accentuated my wife. She also provided valuable feedback to improve the flow of our routine and encouraged us to feel more comfortable with each other while we danced.
We’d definitely recommend her to someone looking for dance lessons/choreography and would reach out again.
Details: Two (ex. me and my partner) • First dance • Slow Dance • No, I do not have choreography in mind • No experience • At the pro’s location • My home, venue, etc.
