Testimonials

Michelle is a talented dancer and an inspiring instructor. My husband and I had the pleasure of having her teach us various styles of ballroom dance. Her upbeat personality and passion for dancing is evident during her lessons. She encouraged us to challenge ourselves, was patient while we learned, and most of all she knows how to make dancing fun—all things you would expect from a good teacher. There is no question that you will have a great time dancing with Michelle! We would highly recommend her to any student looking for a dedicated, motivational, and gifted ballroom dance instructor.

-Jennifer & Guillermo

My husband and I were first introduced to Michelle at a dance facility that was in the town I grew up in. How lucky we were to be put onto her schedule! My husband had no dance experience whatsoever and I hadn't done any dance in years. I wanted to do a routine for my wedding that wouldn't be corny or over the top. Michelle knew right away what I wanted and she was creative, patient and an amazing teacher!!! I was so proud of our dance and I love looking back remembering how much fun it was to learn.

-Rob and Katie

My husband and I came to Michelle looking to learn a special dance for our wedding. She was so sweet and kind and spent so much of her time teaching us this dance. She was so patient with us and each lesson we had felt like we had improved. In the end our dance looked amazing and we would never of been able to do it without her. She was so great and would recommend her to anyone.

-Jennifer and Christopher

My husband and I wanted to do something special for our first dance at our upcoming wedding. We realized we had absolutely no rhythm. We began to take classes with Michelle and quickly realized that she was making miracles happen. Michelle not only introduced to us the basics of dance, but choreographed the beginning of our first dance. This choreography was not easy and very challenging, but with her help and her guidance we were able to succeed. Michelle created a comfortable environment and we knew that her goal was to make our wedding day very special. My husband and I are very different learners and she was able to differentiate instruction to cater the needs of both of us. In addition, we were having such a wonderful time dancing, that after the choreography was finished we decided to take more lessons on different types of dance so that we could continue to enjoy or wedding. Our wedding day was a huge success and people were impressed with our moves.

-Yasaman and Damian

I have been dancing for years before I met Michelle. After one lesson with Michelle it was so easy to see how accomplished she is. After dancing with Michelle the corrections that were shown to me were amazingly helpful. If you are experienced or a beginner Michelle will step up your game. Whether you are doing a showcase or learning a wedding dance Michelle will make a real dancer out of you.

-Michael

Thanks so much for your talent, patience, inspiration, motivation, and confidence in two “left footed” people!

-Joe

Your creativity, kindness, and patience is unreal. There are really not enough ways that I can say thank you. Not only were we amazed by the final product, but the entire process you were fantastic. I gave you a very vague idea of what I wanted, but you made it so much more than I ever thought it could be. The amount of time I was able to spend with my Dad is more than I have spent in over 15 years. That time and those memories will forever be so special to me. Thank you so very very much. You are truly a superstar!
