Here’s what other’s have said…

“May I take this opportunity to thank you for your dance workshop!

As our wedding approached I was beginning to dread our first dance. Neither I nor my other half are particularly keen on dancing and he has two left feet so when I heard about your workshop I booked us on it thinking it may teach us something. When I told my fiance I had booked us on the session he was horrified and refused to attend however after much persuasion he agreed to come. When we arrived at the class he was embarrassed and nervous about dancing in front of everyone but you and the dance instructors instantly put us all at ease. The class was a combination of hints and tips, motivation and confidence building combined with actual dancing. As the session progressed we grew in confidence and we relaxed and were even joking with the instructors! We finished the session by dancing with the teachers! When we arrived home we agreed we had enjoyed the session and would practice what we had been taught! We have been regularly practicing our routine and with only a couple of weeks to go we are both more confident and relaxed about our first dance and can’t wait to show off our new moves! Thank you once again for your superb class!” March 31, 2011
