My husband and I worked with Donna for over a year to come up with a dance routine to two songs merged together! Neither of us come from any type of dance background, but we ended up doing a routine that looked absolutely amazing. We had a blast learning it and practicing it and on our wedding day it was perfect! We are so grateful for Donna and we recommend her to any couple interested in dance lessons. She is super affordable and I’m sure you will be satisfied with your results:)

Donna was a treat! We initially wanted something low key - but she quickly changed our minds with an amazing routine. Her at home studio was super convenient and worked perfectly for us! Donna was excited with our first dance song and it showed, not only at every lesson we attended, but also in our routine itself. Everyone at our wedding was shocked by how natural and great our dance was - and it’s all thanks to Donna. If you’re looking for a great and private wedding dance experience - Donna is the one!

Donna is AMAZING!!!!! Cannot say enough great things about her. Her studio is super cute, clean and spacious. She is so knowledgeable, talented and organized. My fiancé and I just got married last week and we performed a choreographed dance for our first dance to Elvis’s “Can’t help falling in love” and it went SO well. We are both not dancers at ALL (last time we both danced was probably in Middle School LOL) but everyone at our wedding kept telling us how natural we looked on the dance floor. We keep reminiscing and are so thankful we received dance lessons from Donna. We are planning to go back to her soon just to learn a new dance because it is such a fun time! Please go to Donna for any of your dancing needs and you will not be disappointed!

Donna was awesome! Truly a professional that LOVES the art of dance. Sweet, light hearted and lots and lots of patience. We worked together for 4 months in her private studio before our wedding day. She choreographed a beautiful fun dance for our first dance incorporating some easy dance moves and some more advanced moves. I loved the one on one special attention we received. I needed a lot of attention and help. I never had dance lessons before and was a bit awkward. By the time our wedding day arrived we were moving fluidly and my two left feet were gone! We looked forward to our lessons every week and discovered a new passion. Our guests loved our dance and now we have been seeking out local dance parties to attend and keep the dancing going. Thank you Donna for not only helping with our wedding day dance but for helping us find a new passion we can build on and enjoy for years to come!!

Donna is absolutely amazing! We are having a destination wedding so we didn’t have much time to learn our first dance. In just 2 sessions, she was able to choreograph a dance for us to practice at home, which was just what we needed. The dance is absolutely perfect for us and we love it. Also, Donna is so nice and welcoming and made us feel very comfortable even though we had no prior experience. I would definitely recommend working with Donna to prepare for a wedding or just for dance lessons!
