Betty’s dance lessons were an absolute delight. Her extensive knowledge and skill were evident as she patiently guided us through each step of our first dance routine. She broke down complex movements into easy-to-follow steps, making the learning process enjoyable and stress-free. Beyond her technical expertise, Betty’s positive energy and encouragement created a fun and supportive learning environment. She was always patient and understanding, adapting her teaching style to our individual needs. We felt comfortable and confident throughout the entire process. Thanks to Betty’s expert guidance, our first dance was a truly memorable moment. We couldn’t have imagined a better outcome, and we’re so grateful for her help!

We had a wonderful experience preparing our first dance with Betty. Even though we had very little previous dance experience and my husband claimed he would never be able to dance at all.

We thoroughly enjoyed our time w/Betty! She was so easy to work with and made us feel very comfortable. Her method of teaching allowed us to catch on more quickly than we anticipated and discovered a new passion and appreciation for dance. Our son is getting married and my husband and I wanted to feel confident on the dance floor which we achieved w/our lessons w/Betty. My son (the groom) and I also had a lesson for "our dance" and Betty took the time to make sure we had a lovely routine. Thank you, Betty!! We highly recommend Betty!!

Betty is amazing. I highly recommend her for learning a first dance with no prior dancing experience. We had the best time with her.
