What Our Dancers Say

See what our community has to say about their experience.

★★★★★

"I was there last night at the first night of a 12-week dance class], and I thought that Wendy struck the right balance as caller and teacher, presenting the new material at a speed that allowed the new dancers to absorb it and experience the fun of dancing competently. For the most part, the five squares succeeded in completing the steps and tips without breaking down; achieving that feeling of success in learning something new is exciting and a testament to Wendy's skill."

"Wendy, we want to thank you for the wonderful event last night. I have received e-mails from many of the participants lauding you. We get credit for the idea but you get credit for making the party work. Such smiles and laughter ... all night! It was very impressive to observe how you turned the group of neophytes into square dancers! We truly are grateful to you. All the best"
