She was able to help my fiancé and I choreograph and teach a dance to our quick tempo wedding song, in a short amount of time, to a novice like me.
Details: Two (ex. me and my partner) • First dance • What my teacher recommends • No, I do not have choreography in mind • No experience • At the pro’s location

I had the opportunity to work with Stephanie as my instructor for both group classes and privatelessons as well. My dance skills developed substantially as I worked with Stephanie. She is very passionate about dance and knows many different styles. I highly recommend Stephanie for dance instruction at all levels. Warren

I took swing and lindy class with Stephanie as well as private and semi privatelessons with her. She makes the class fun and easy especially if you have no dance experience. Her patience stems from her good nature and humor. I learned so much with her not only from her knowledge of dance but her sincere enthusiasm for dance as well as enthusiasm for teaching it. She never gives up and her choreography and music are fun. She is an excellent teacher who cares and she gives her students all the tools and time needed to excel. Highly recommend Stephanie. You will have fun learning in her class.

Stephanie is the epitome of patience and enthusiasm. Not only did she fill our dancing toolbox with a number of usable moves to last us a lifetime, she helped choreograph a gorgeous dance for our wedding. What's more, she did it all with a calm, sense of humor that helped put us both at ease. We cannot recommend Stephanie and YSBD enough. Fox trot right over and take a lesson!

My wife and I worked with Stephanie to learn a dance for our wedding she was fantastic to work with, and we came out of the lessons not only learning the specific dance but also feeling a lot more comfortable with each other on the dance floor. Highly recommend!

FAQs
What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?
My pricing is highly competitive.
What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
I work within the client's natural dance ability.... One must remember that if you can walk then you can dance. We go from there and we work together on making the clients dream come true.
What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
There is a constant continual education in my field. Dance is ever evolving into new forms, new styles etc. I continue to take classes by top notch instructors as well as workshops and private lessons. I am part of two different performance troupes in which I learn my part (mainly the follow) as well as the leads part so that I can be of help to those students who are having difficulties. Plus the choreography that I learn I keep in a file to add to choreography that I put together for wedding couples and students.
