Cara is a great dance teacher - my boyfriend and I wanted to take a dance lesson as a date, and had such a good time that we are scheduling more. Cara really makes sure that you get value out of your class, and outside of being punctual and very responsive, she was able to work flawlessly with both myself and my boyfriend's learning style.

Cara is a very good dance teacher. She responded and communicated with me immediately and was flexible with the location of our lesson. She was very clear and explained the dances thoroughly. I highly recommend her!

We only have a week before leaving NYC for our wedding and just spent 2 hours with Cara to try to be a little bit more comfortable for our first dance. After the first hour we already knew how to walk in and had learnt a few routines that we will be able to repeat comfortably. Exactly what we wanted and so much fun! Cara is a great teacher and a really nice person. I totally recommend taking your wedding dance lessons with her.

Our wedding is coming up in two weeks and we were looking for someone to help us feel more comfortable during our first dance as we aren't big slow dancers! Cara was just so so helpful. She helped us walk through the walk-in, the dance, and the finale. She also allowed us to practice w our song and pointed out things we could adjust. She was a great teacher and definitely eased our stress and discomfort! She was also extremely responsive and so easy to work with. We would definitely recommend her if you also want some help here before the big day :)

Details: Two (e.g., myself and my husband) • First dance • Slow Dance • No, I do not have choreography in mind • No experience • The wedding dance instructor travels to me
