I honestly can't say enough good things about Kate. She is possibly one of the kindest, most loving…read morepeople I have ever met. She choreographed my husband and my first dance for our wedding, and it was awesome. She was so patient and calm, even when I wasn't. I was constantly reassured, and it made the experience so much fun. She taught us the steps, which was great, but even more importantly she gave us confidence in our abilities. On the day of our wedding, my bustle was having all sorts of problems, so we had to cut a big move out of our dance. I thought about what she would tell me to do, and it went off without a hitch! I'm so grateful to Kate not only for making our dance special, but also for allowing us to goof off and have a great time during rehearsals!

This review is looong over due. My husband and I were looking for a choreographer after we…read more"practiced" our first dance and realized the only moves we had were from middle school. I remembered a brochure given to me from a bridal show, and went digging for it. After contacting Kate, I somewhat nervous about our first lesson, but Kate made it so fun and easy to learn the steps, and I was very shocked that she choreographed our dance, both partners' steps, before each class and could remember and teach them back so effortlessly. She has a warm up before each lesson, then breaks down each and every step. Plus, she posts your dance lesson for you to watch again and practice on your own. The dance steps went with our music went perfectly, and I couldn't imagine not having had a choreographed dance for our first dance as husband and wife. To top it off, my father and I went to see Kate too, to practice a father-daughter dance since my dad had multiple knee surgeries and trouble moving quick-steps to music. Kate is the whole package- along with her brother, they slowed down Temptation's "My Girl", quite a bit, but you would NEVER notice. Oh, and did I mention Kate is like, the WHOLE package?? She worked with my wedding planner, DJ, and venue coordinator to practice in our venue before the wedding. She was there on our wedding day! She taped up the front of my dress so I wouldn't step on it, and ran through our dance before we took the floor. I did not expect all of Kate's services with her price. I can't thank you enough, Kate, you made our first dance absolutely PERFECT.

In my mind, the type of songs and outfits are appropriate for little girls - they're not being asked to dance or wear things that would be more appropriate for an older teenager. They create an atmosphere of love and respect. The teachers are both younger and older women and they are absolutely wonderful to the little girls. The owners are a Christian family who really live out their faith with biblical guidelines on how people should be treated. From the very top, all the way to how the parents act and how the girls are expected to treat each other, everyone holds a very high standard of how we treat people, and I truly appreciate that.

The day we went to pick up the Christmas dress, I was informed my daughter's dress was missing even though we were charged for it and were informed we have one day to exchange it. Finally the owner said she left it at her home and brought it after the class--apparently she babysits her own children, SMH! On that same day, I was informed all of the tickets were sold out for the show and they had only been on sale for 4 days. The owner did not set a limit on how many tickets each customer could purchase tickets. One person informed me they purchased 20 tickets--we only needed 4 tickets! We had attempted several times to purchase tickets online on my phone and laptop and the website was non functioning. I informed the owner of this and was not given any understanding about my situation and was informed I should have come in and purchased them in person--what is the point if you have a website!?! My father had passed away prior to this and was not given any sympathy for my loss and rather was informed, "If you didn't buy tickets in time, there is nothing I can do about it!" The tickets could have been added to the purchase of the dress or on our monthly bill which they charged us religiously, however they said they don't do business that way and all tickets are open to public! The lack of professionalism, respect for their customers, and chauvinist attitude is no good and we would never recommend this dance studio to anyone!
