Testimonials
"Hello Wendy: Just want to say a big thank you for your wonderful leadership on Saturday at the Square Dance birthday party. You absolutely nailed it! I’ve received so many positive comments on how much fun people had at the party – and thank you for your part in that."

"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"

"We had such a great time square dancing yesterday! What good fun it was, thank you! Your passion was infectious, and you are a great teacher!"
JM
"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."

"Hi Wendy, Heard back from several people who enjoyed their square dance evening last Friday. One appreciated how much you were able to teach her in one evening (she had not square danced before), and another thought it was great that you were able to include the kids — that there would be good family memories from that which would last for years to come. I’m sure we’re a pretty ‘chaotic’ group to deal with, but your patience and sense of humour make it all work. 🙂 Thanks a million,"

"Hi Wendy, I had such a fabulous time yesterday afternoon!!! I’ve marked my calendar for the rest of the year. We are impressed with your ability to teach, see what is going on in a square, and your timing, which makes dancing so much easier and more enjoyable. Keep up the good work."
