We hired Shani to teach the Wednesday dance for my daughter's 8th birthday. She was very responsive and helpful through the process. Unfortunately, day of the party Shani could not teach due to Dr's orders but she had a replacement, Ericka. Ericka showed up on time, friendly, courteous and very patient with the children. We all appreciated her very much! Highly recommend and my daughter can't stop talking about it !
Details: 4-7 • 8-12 • A group of 5-10 people • Hip hop • No experience • Preparing for an event / performance • 60 minutes • As recommended by professional • My home, venue, etc.

Miss Shani and Alejandro are both amazing choreographers and dedicated to their students. My granddaughter learned so much and learned a great deal while in her studio. The dancer she is today is dedicated to them for all they have to offer.
