Donna is amazing. If you’re on the fence about doing dance lessons for your wedding - do it! My fiancé and I just had our final dance class before our wedding last night. Neither of us are dancers and it is truly unbelievable what she is able to do with two people who have never danced before. We expected to learn to sway back and forth but ended up with an entire routine including a lift in the air. Donna also choreographed a dance for my Dad and I in one of the 8 classes we got in our package. Tonight my fiancé told me he is sad we don’t have any lessons left so we may be back just for fun. Donna is so pleasant, reliable, and patient. Thank you Donna for your professionalism and care with Sean & I. We can’t wait to do our dance this upcoming Friday. 10/10 recommend!!!

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.

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

We had fun learning our mother-son dance. Donna is lovely. Very professional, patient, and thorough. Wish we had time for more classes, but we got a lot done in two. She sent us videos so we can practice, which is great! I liked the private classes in her well appointed studio.

Details: Two (ex. me and my partner) • Parent dance (i.e., father/daughter) • What my teacher recommends • No, I do not have choreography in mind • Beginner • At the pro’s location
