The dance teacher communicated well when we talked and she was very polite and helpful and friendly. When I got to the lesson we worked on ballet basics and she knew what she was doing. She was again very helpful and polite. She was a very competent teacher. I enjoyed myself and I will try to go again when I can!
Details: 46-65 • One person (one-on-one with instructor) • Modern / Contemporary • Beginner • Preparing for an event / performance • 45 minutes • Once a week • At the pro’s location

Charla is great to work with! She is extremely talented and accommodating and makes learning not only easy but fun. We did privatelessons and had her choreograph our first dance and have been more than happy with the results!

I have been taking lessons from Charla for several months. She is a talented instructor. She has a knack for knowing exactly what I need to learn a wide variety of dances and sometimes complicated steps and choreography. She's friendly, professional and I feel really good about my progress. Her classes are fun I have really enjoyed working with her. I have also taken a few of her group class and that has been really helpful, expecially learning to lead partners at various levels of experience. My confidence and ability are greatly improved thanks to Charla are her caring ways!
