Shari choreographed a dance for my wedding and it was a HUGE HIT! I was nervous about the choreography and my groomsmen learning it, but she perfectly balanced making it challenging but doable and believing in us. The practices were actually fun. She truly was fun to work with, flexible, and motivating! I would highly recommend her!

My friends and I had an amazing experience with Shari! We were part of a group dance class and Shari was incredibly responsive, flexible, and helpful during pre-class communication. During the class, she created a super fun atmosphere, where everyone had a good time, no matter their skill level. I highly recommend Shari as a dance instructor!

Shari was incredible! She was able to coordinate 6 dancers and choreographed my music video. The dancing was amazing and captured the exact vision I had in mind for the song. Only working with her from now on :).
