My fiancée and I have only had one lesson with Dana so far, but it was such a great experience. She is extremely knowledgeable, an excellent teacher (especially for those with little to no dance experience), and very kind and professional. We are very excited to continue our lessons and see the vision of our first dance come to life.
Details: Two (ex. me and my partner) • First dance • Slow Dance • What my teacher recommends • No, I do not have choreography in mind • No experience • At the pro’s location • My home, venue, etc.

My fiancé and I had a wonderful experience taking dancelessons with Dana! She was incredibly flexible with our schedule and so understanding when we were running a little late. From the moment we arrived, she made us feel comfortable and confident with our dances, creating a fun and relaxed environment to learn in. Her patience, encouragement, and expertise made the entire experience enjoyable and stress-free. We highly recommend her to any couple looking for wedding dancelessons!
Details: 18-25 • Two people • Ballroom • No experience • Preparing for a wedding • 45 minutes • As recommended by professional • At the pro’s location

I had such a great experience taking a private salsa lesson with Dana! She was so patient, kind, and encouraging throughout the entire lesson. She really knows what she’s doing and explained everything in a way that was easy for me to understand. I especially appreciated that she never made me feel rushed or uncomfortable and allowed me to learn at my own pace. She created such a comfortable and positive environment, which made the lesson really enjoyable. I’m definitely looking forward to taking more lessons with Dana!
Details: 26-35 • One person (one-on-one with instructor) • Salsa • No experience • Developing a hobby • I'm flexible • Once a week • At the pro’s location

Dana was a joy from the moment we met her. My daughter’s very first tap lesson was a huge success, and she thoroughly enjoyed every minute of it.
Dana is patient, kind, professional, and truly a pleasure to work with. She made my daughter feel comfortable, confident, and excited to learn. We are so grateful to have found such a wonderful teacher and look forward to many more lessons ahead!
Details: 13-17 • One person (one-on-one with instructor) • Tap • No experience • Preparing for an event / performance • 60 minutes • As recommended by professional • My home, venue, etc.
