It was such a great time working with Donna. She’s upbeat, reliable, and knows her stuff. We didn’t come to the lessons with any real experience, but by the end we left very confident. I’m so glad we did a choreographed first dance for our wedding! Thanks, Donna!

Details: Two (ex. me and my partner) • First dance • Slow Dance • Swing Dance • What my teacher recommends • Waltz • No, I do not have choreography in mind • Beginner • At the pro’s location

Do yourself a favor and book Donna asap!! I booked Donna for my wedding dance lessons and it was the best decision I made. First off, she is the cutest person ever, has the most amazing energy, and it is so apparent she loves what she does. She worked so hard on choreographing our special dance, and really gave us so much help to make sure it was perfect. Our dance lessons were so fun, I honestly miss them!! Our dance came out incredible and its literally the #1 thing our guests can’t stop talking about. Donna is truly amazing and her lessons are so reasonable for how much she time and attention she gives you. Book her!!

Details: Two (ex. me and my partner) • First dance • What my teacher recommends • No, I do not have choreography in mind • Beginner • At the pro’s location • My home, venue, etc.

Donna gave us a great lesson, with video recording and step counts so that we could practice afterwards. We would recommend her to anyone needing dance lessons.

Donna was an excellent instructor. She took two old couples with a total of 8 left feet and turned us into fun wedding performers. Our dance was a surprise to the Bride snd Groom snd we did not disappoint! The best part was the camaraderie we developed between the two coupes of in-laws as we cemented our new friendship in the dance studio even before we were united together by the marriage of our children. Our dance video will live on in infamy with joy!! Donna can make it happen for you as well!

Details: My group of 3-4 people • Wedding party dance • No experience • At the pro’s location
