Amanda is an amazing dance instructor. I have been working with her for a few months, and I cannot believe how much I have learned. Ballroom dancing is way outside of my comfort zone. I am more of the martial arts, hiking, snow skiing type, but I have admired the skill & elegance of ballroom dancing for years. I particularly enjoyed some of the Tango dancing that I would see in action movies occasionally. Finally, a friend of mine suggested that I take the big step and start lessons. Amanda has been great at translating the required dance movements into terms that I understand from decades of martial arts. There are a lot of similarities in movement and balance, but the emphasis & timing are dramatically different. Amanda has a great depth of knowledge and experience in ballroom dancing and the gift of being able to transfer that knowledge to her students. I highly recommend Amanda as a ballroom dance instructor.

My husband and I took a series of 5 lessons with Amanda for our first dance at our wedding; we had zero experience before starting, but she helped us feel confident & comfortable with our first dance and it turned out great! She’s a wonderful instructor!!

FAQs

  • What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?

    There are discounts if you buy a 5, 10, or 20 lesson-package.

  • What is your typical process for working with a new customer?

    With new students, I first get to know a bit about you, particularly your goals and current level of dance knowledge. Then we will come up with a plan together for achieving those goals, and begin working together on your dancing.

  • What types of customers have you worked with?

    Individuals, couples, small & big groups 😊
