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!

We were so lucky to find Donna to help us with our wedding dances. She choreographed multiple dances for us and edited the music for them. Really couldn't imagine having a better instructor. She is super nice, very knowledgeable, detail-oriented, and made all the lessons fun. She is extremely good at breaking things down to a granular level. We are actually already talking about taking more lessons with Donna after our wedding, and we just had our last lesson today, so we honestly couldn't recommend her enough.

Donna is amazing. If you’re on the fence about doing dance lessons for your wedding - do it! My fiancé and I just had our final dance class before our wedding last night. Neither of us are dancers and it is truly unbelievable what she is able to do with two people who have never danced before. We expected to learn to sway back and forth but ended up with an entire routine including a lift in the air. Donna also choreographed a dance for my Dad and I in one of the 8 classes we got in our package. Tonight my fiancé told me he is sad we don’t have any lessons left so we may be back just for fun. Donna is so pleasant, reliable, and patient. Thank you Donna for your professionalism and care with Sean & I. We can’t wait to do our dance this upcoming Friday. 10/10 recommend!!!
