“Rachael made us feel SO comfortable. She made the steps so easy to grasp. She helped us build our confidence. We ended up doing ten lessons because we were having such fun. We even tacked on a group line dance Lesson for us and some friends to do at the reception (choreographed by Rachael herself)!! It was a blast. Thank you for making the hardest part of our wedding one of the highlights for us! We are eternally grateful for you and hope to dance with you again soon!”
“Rachael is the most amazing dance teacher I’ve ever had! She made my husband and I feel comfortable and taught us a whole dance in a small amount of time. She works so hard for her clients and makes us feel like family. No one could go wrong with Rachael and this amazing dance studio! I highly recommend it to anyone who loves to dance or is a first time dancer like my husband was.”
