We signed up for 4 lessons to prepare for the 'first dance' at our wedding. Neither of us had ever taken a dance lesson before. Christine was very patient, friendly, and helpful. Even though we switched songs on the second lesson, she quickly adapted what we'd learned in the first lesson and we were ready to go with our new song.

The lessons are fun, a great value for the $, and Christine devotes the full hour to teaching us. Overall a great experience.

My (now) husband and I signed up for dance lessons because we wanted to be comfortable on the dance floor.  Were we ever surprised to discover that not only were we comfortable,  but actually loved it!  We did 4 group lessons with Cathy and 4 private lessons with Christine- and they are miracle workers!  We plan to dance at least once a month from now on. Thanks ladies!!

we took 4 lessons (mainly because we never practiced and we got panicked after the 3rd lesson!) to learn a choreographed dance for our wedding.  we did "can't take my eyes off you" and Kathy taught us a darling dance that the crowd loved and we felt like stars.  not Dancing with the Star or anything quite to dramatic - but we wanted to put on a show.

one problem we had is that we were pretty late for one lesson (my hubby missed the muni and it took forever to arrive)...and though it was only 15 min long (instead of an hour), we had to pay for the whole thing.  i know it's a business based on their time being booked and that it was our fault - but it would have been nice to get a little something for goodwill.

in any event - we are very happy with our instructor Kathy and the dance.  we even used our moves for the last song - "Last Dance" (i know - cheesy - but it always works!) -and when we sped them up  - they were so fun and disco!  VOILA!!
