Betty helped us design a wonderful dance routine for our wedding. She is flexible, has a great sense of humor, and is an excellent teacher. Every hour with Betty flew by; we had a great time learning how to dance from her! Thank you Betty!

My wife and I thoroughly enjoyed working with Betty! She choreographed a simple yet elegant dance to a new country song that had our wedding guests cheering. We had four sessions with her, and it was amazing to see our dance come together so quickly and effortlessly. We are so glad that we worked with Betty to help us with our first dance as a married couple. Thank you, Betty!

Betty helped my now wife and I for our first dance. We really enjoyed working with her, and as two people with no dancing experience, she was very patient and helped us put together a routine that our guests really enjoyed! Thank you for being a part of our special day Betty!

We had such a fun time learning a waltz with Betty for our wedding! Despite giving her a challenging song for beginner dancers, Betty created an accessible routine that we were able to learn and feel confident doing. Betty has a great beginner teaching style: kind, not too overwhelming, but also serious at times. She definitely cares about improving our dancing abilities and creating a memorable routine. And her prices are awesome, my husband and I are both students so we really appreciate an affordable option.
