    Fiance and I did one private lesson with Michelle for our first dance for our upcoming wedding. She was fantastic. Neither of us are particularly experienced dancers and yet within a one hour class she had taught us several easy sequences plus a couple of classy dips and turns that we were able to run through a number of times to our chosen song (which we brought along - definitely do this). She also did a comprehensive video at the end documenting all of the these so that we are able to dance in our living room up to a decent standard in time for the wedding. Plus - she was fun! It was a really enjoyable thing to do in all the wedding prep. We may do another class because we had a great time and to get a bit more polished but if you're on a budget this is a great way to nail it in one afternoon. Highly, highly recommend!

    You guys, my husband can't dance. I'm not exaggerating when I say he can't even perform the classic Awkward White Guy Move of just swaying with the arms bent. However, Michelle was able to create for us a dance that actually looked good at our wedding.

    She is an incredible teacher, and makes learning easy. We had gone to classes at another school (rhymes with Smarthur Shurray) and while we had fun, there wasn't that same feeling of knowing the teacher has a firm grasp on the material. Michele leads with such confidence that you just know you're in good hands.

    You are stepping into the right class, if Michelle is your teacher. She worked with me as a new dancer, from beginning Salsa and beginning Tango, all the way through learning advanced Salsa and advanced Tango.

    Michelle communicates clearly, and cares about her students. As she works with students, she notices what particular suggestions her students need in order to take their skills to the next level, while in a group class or in a private lesson.

    You'll find that Michelle knows how to teach just about any style of dance that you want to learn. She is approachable for asking questions. Most importantly, she makes learning how to dance a fun experience.

    I took 3 private dance lessons with Michelle in advance of our daughter's wedding. I have no rhythm or sense of a beat. Michelle really helped me learn a basic swing and several moves so that our Daughter- Father dance would be a memory to cherish. And it is. Michelle is a wonderful teacher and a wonderful person. Two thumbs up for any man that would like to become a competent dancer for his wife or daughter's wedding. Thank you Michelle.
