My fiancée and I took dance lessons for our wedding with Brittany and we had a blast! Brittany was professional, energetic, and personable. What seemed like a daunting task to learn a choreographed dance was made easy by Brittany’s excellent coaching.

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 • My home, venue, etc.

I took dance lessons with Brittany for a couple years, and she did a wonderful job coaching me through new steps, and, more importantly, keeping me motivated to keep learning and not give up. Brittany's lessons were always fun, engaging, and worthwhile!

I met Brittany Michelle when she was teaching in the Columbus, Ohio area at another studio.... She was an admitted geek.... I was a closet one... We talked Sci-Fi and anime and we learned to communicate with our eyes. We were in tune that much with each other. We danced Rhythm and we competed... And then there was this little showcase event... and being the geek, I wanted to try Indiana Jones and the Raiders of the Lost Ark March music. I talked with Brittany about my idea for dancing and little action events throughout..... Brittany choreographed an epic showcase, even incorporating whip work... My favorite showcase to date.... Brittany is an awesome Marion. Ohio's loss is Virginia's gain..... Geeks, Sci-Fi fans, or if you just want to learn how to dance, seek out Brittany Michelle. 8-Bit Ballroom will treat you right.
