It seemed like I could maybe eventually learn tango? This was different... Gabriela gave the beginner class some great fundamentals on how to stand and breathe and move, then drilled the basic steps in a way that I actually could completely remember them (that's unusual for me), then had us practice a ton with different people -- great turnout and gender balance too. I stayed on for the intermediate level class because it was actually repeatable and memorable. This woman is incredible: running to greet each person individually at the door with warmth, DJing great varied music, giving simple understandable & memorable coaching, speaking loudly and audibly over the music in an awesome accent, demonstrating with her back to us to avoid left-right mixups, and putting people on the spot with coaching in front of everyone, but everyone gets it. Love the studio's size: it has mirrors and couches and authentic tango posters. It got a little warm, but the open door let in cold night air, which I prefer over A.C. The men do tend to wear dress shirts. $15 for 4+ hours of as much learning & practice & music as you have the stamina for.

CNS offers free intro to Salsa and Bachata lessons. Yes, that's right. I said FREE! The classes run on a 10 week program. Each week builds off of one another so it is important that you take classes from the beginning if you are a beginner. Classes for each style are offered twice a week. Salsa is on Tuesdays at 6pm and Thursdays at 7pm. While, Bachata is on Tuesdays at 8:30pm and Fridays at 8pm. It is not necessary to attend both classes every week because they cover the same thing but it is offered so you can get some extra practice in. I would recommend going to their website to make sure you are starting at the beginning of the 10 week program so you don't get lost :) I have only just begun taking lessons and love it so far. I have also gone along with friends who dance Salsa and Bachata regularly (some competitively) and they only have positive things to say about it. It is great for dancers of all levels to go to hone and refresh your skills. On top of the free classes, they charge packages for higher level dancers. More information about that is available on their website. The instructors are very skilled, attentive, and give individualized attention to everyone even in large classes! If they see common mistakes among their pupils, they are quick to correct it which I find extremely important. They are also bilingual and are willing to instruct the class in both languages if there are any language barriers. I highly recommend these classes for anyone interested in learning Salsa or Bachata - or even if you want to get some extra practice in without the awkwardness or pressure of social dancing!

I use Yelp for literally everything but for years have been too lazy to leave a single review. This is the first time I've really felt compelled to review a business. Like some of the other reviewers, my husband and I were very unsure about whether to take lessons for our first dance. I didn't really see the point--I thought that after the craziness of the wedding, I would enjoy taking a quiet moment to do the "chaperoned middle school dance" sway with my husband. I wasn't particularly concerned about audience enjoyment. Regardless, "DECIDE WHETHER TO TAKE DANCE LESSONS" was on my to-do list for months and suddenly there were only two days left before we had to fly out of town for our wedding. Although we figured that our indecisiveness had probably made the decision for us, I found Wedding Dance Coach on Yelp and decided to reach out to see if they had any last-minute availability in the next two days. Luckily for us, they did! We decided to go but still weren't convinced that we wanted to do a choreographed dance--I thought there was a real possibility that we'd just end up ditching whatever we learned at the lesson for the standard sway. I couldn't have been more wrong! Our instructor was Troy, and he was phenomenal. The song we'd chosen was not the easiest to dance to & probably wasn't one he'd heard before, but he listened to it ahead of time and--with zero guidance from us--came up with a vision for the song that he was able to teach us in just an hour. We really appreciated that he didn't make us feel bad for leaving dance lessons to the last minute, or try and tell us that one dance lesson wasn't going to be enough for him to teach us anything substantial. Instead, in the span of an hour, he taught us the waltz, the rumba box step, a number of twirls, a two-person spin, a lift-spin, a dip, and some other small moves. What most surprised both of us was that the dance lesson was SO MUCH FUN! My husband and I both came to the lesson pretty stressed out (we were extremely tight on time as we had to go straight from the dance lesson to DIA for the flight to our wedding!), but we both had an absolute blast. At the end, Troy had us take some videos of him doing the various steps so that we could practice on our own in the days leading up to the wedding. We watched the videos and practiced more over the next few days, and when it came time to do the real thing our guests were blown away. Some of the best photos from our wedding are of the first dance, primarily because you can see the shocked faces of our guests in the background! We are not great dancers by any means, but Troy (and presumably the other instructors) can teach you enough--even in just an hour--to trick your guests into thinking that you have some dancing competence. And the dance lesson has been useful even beyond our first dance--we busted out the rumba box step while dancing to a live band during our honeymoon. TLDR: even if you are skeptical about the utility of dance lessons and short on time prior to your wedding like we were, take dance lessons and take them here! If we'd had more time, we definitely would have taken more than one lesson. Our first dance is truly one of our favorite memories from our wedding. read more

When my (now) husband and I started planning our wedding day there was one part of the day that we were especially excited for, our first dance as husband and wife. In our minds we thought it would be a peaceful way to connect during an otherwise very busy day. We spent months trying to pick our song and when we finally found it, it was perfect. It conveyed exactly what we wanted it to and it touched us both very deeply, the same however could not be said for our dancing. We tried dancing to our song the first couple times and we ended up looking like two awkward middle school kids. We knew we needed help! I actually just stumbled upon Elizabeth but I'm so incredibly happy I did. I booked three sessions without even meeting her, which I know might sound strange but she was located close to our house and the price was right. Upon meeting her, I knew we made the right choice! She was so welcoming and kind and fun, she instantly put us at ease. She spent quite a bit of time talking to us about what we had envisioned for our first dance. We knew we wanted something elegant and classy but also romantic. For us the most important thing was that it did not look too choreographed and that we could really lose ourselves in the moment. That's exactly what we got with Elizabeth. She choreographed something so beautiful and romantic that left an impression on all our guests but was easy enough for us that we just completely enjoyed the moment and didn't worry about what our next steps were. It was the perfect balance for us. When I look back and think of that moment when we had our first dance, it still is my favorite part of the day and I really credit Elizabeth's teaching to making that moment just perfect for us. Her gentle and fun way of teaching left such an impression on us and it made the last couple weeks of our engagement so much fun. Thank you Elizabeth!!! read more

We had 5 dance lessons with Maren over the summer before our October wedding, and we are so happy to have done it! My husband was not sure about dance lessons, but I definitely did not want to do the awkward penguin waddle to a slow song that I have seen at many weddings. I was hesitant because we picked out a rather unconventional song from an avant-garde metal band. However as soon as Maren listened to it the first time, she immediately started putting some steps to it, and we were thrilled that we were able to use the song we wanted. I loved that our dance sequence incorporated moves from waltz, tango, and swing dancing, as well as turns and dips that vowed our guests! Maren was very flexible to change something when I was sometimes just not "feeling" a certain move or if we had issues with a transition, and was always communicating to ensure that we were comfortable with the movements. I am also absolutely in awe that we were able to go from learning a basic waltz step on the first day, to having a full dance sequence by the end of the last session. Having Maren record a video of the sequence on my phone was very helpful for us to practice later. I am also very thankful that Maren gave us a lot of tips to ensure a successful dance on the day of in case any sort of issues came up - like how to adapt in case the space we'd dance in was smaller than expected, what to do if our shoes were slippery, or how to modify certain parts of the dance if my dress didn't allow the movement. She also gave lots of little tips on how to add some "oomph" to the dance like how to hold my hand during a spin to make it look more elegant, where to look, etc. Really put my mind at ease and the big day went great! Every part of this experience was great - from the instructor, to the dance, to the bonding time as a couple. I would highly suggest this to anyone! read more

We started as two people with ZERO dance experience and ended with "That was the best first dance we've ever seen! You guys killed it! That was amazing!". That came from our wedding DJ who has seen countless number of dances. As a watcher of "So you think you can dance" and "Dancing with the Stars", I've always dreamed of having a beautiful story telling first dance with my future wife. Never did I think that was possible without months of professional dance training. With My Wedding Dance Coach, it was done in 7 lessons! Maren, our dance instructor, was absolutely great. We had an ambitious desire to combine two songs into one dance, a slow romantic one followed by an upbeat fun one. Maren choreographed our dance beautifully as we went taking into account our feedback and input. She was as excited about our dance as we were! The beautiful thing about the dance was that we "messed up" a couple of different times, but no one had any idea. Maren did a great job of prepping us on the adrenaline and nerves that can and will pop up in the moment and we were able to cruise right through them to a beautiful finish. One thing to note when scheduling your dance classes is to make sure to allow room for your own personal practice time! On average we were able to fit in one hour of practice between each hour of lessons, so it's amazing to see what we were able to accomplish in 14 hrs! Also, I highly recommend you record your lessons so you can reference them later. We loved it so much that we'll definitely be taking some more lessons in the future just for fun! read more

We loved working with Elizabeth as our wedding dance coach and could not recommend her more highly! We originally reached out to Elizabeth about doing a fun group dance lesson at our wedding. Although she had never done anything like this before, Elizabeth dove right into it. Elizabeth choreographed and taught three dances - Indian, Country Western, and Hip-Hop. So many of our friends and family raved about how fun the dance lessons were, particularly folks who generally don't enjoy dancing. It was a great, low-stress way to do a group activity at the reception. Alongside all of this, we decided we wanted to do a first dance. One of us had never done any ballroom dancing, so we knew we needed lessons. With a month to go, Elizabeth was able to squeeze us in for three lessons--two for just us and one for us with our mothers for a mother/son dance. Even in this limited amount of time, Elizabeth choreographed a dance to Elvis's "I Can't Help Falling In Love With You" - we were so pleased with the results! Elizabeth has such a wonderful, calming energy and is a methodical teacher, and really focused on our movements to improve our waltz. Elizabeth also was great with our mothers, and particularly with one of our moms who had never really danced before. Without Elizabeth's help we would not have been able to do a first dance or a mother/son dance, and we're so grateful that she helped us overcome our fear of trying something new the night of our wedding. Thanks Elizabeth for helping make our wedding night come together perfectly! read more

Wedding Dance Coach states on their website that their goal is to make you - whether bride or groom, parent, or other members of the party - "sparkle" on the dance floor as you celebrate on the big day. With Maren Waldman as our guide, my daughter and her new husband, my wife and I, and our son and other daughter did just that - we all had great fun (and some great moves!) - thanks to Maren. Maren is an outstanding dance instructor in that she is patient, flexible and accommodating of a wide spectrum of skill levels and musical preferences. She worked with my daughter and fiancé on a very fast salsa dance number, my daughter and I on a jumpy techno-swing dance, my wife and I on a smooth vocal jazz song, and taught our son and other daughter some great jump-step moves. I cannot praise enough Maren's ability to give us confidence in our dancing so that we could simultaneously keep the dance flowing (due to her teaching the structure, prompts and moves of the dance) and yet let go and bask in the sheer bliss and happiness of the moment. Maren's teaching (and enthusiasm!) allowed us to truly enjoy and have fun with our dancing. I cannot adequately describe the joy I felt as a father and husband as I danced with my daughter, then with my wife, thanks to the lessons we took from Maren. I unequivocally recommend Maren and Wedding Dance Coach. read more

When we chose our first dance song we decided we wanted to completely surprise our guests with a choreographed dance. The song was pretty complex and changed pace quite a bit so we wanted a unique choreography that would move from ballroom dancing to faster dancing to disco-y vibes. We were partnered with Melissa for our dance and we LOVED working with her. Our first day was a bit frustrating because we both didn't know what the heck we were doing but Melissa was so consistent and patient with us she inspired us to go home and practice dilligently. Watching our progression over the weeks was astounding. She was able to teach us 3 entirely different styles of dance to incorporate into the song! We actually looked forward to our appointments with her. She had such a fun energy and was always so patient with us. Her teaching style made it such that learning from her was not intimidating. She listened to what we wanted and never tried to force her ideas on us...though honestly the ideas she provided to us were great and a lot of them really landed with us. On our wedding day we were so confident and we NAILED the dance. Our entire wedding erupted in cheering and clapping at the end. I'm literally tearing up right now remembering it. Melissa was so great we hope to return working with her to learn some fun new dance moves. read more

My husband and I are NOT big dancers - neither of us has any formal dance experience, and we knew that we needed to prep for the big day, but dance lessons kept slipping to the bottom of our to-do list. A couple of weeks before the wedding, a friend recommended that we give Elizabeth a call. We were assuming that we were out of luck, given the short notice, but she was able to fit us into a group class and an individual lesson the very next week. For the group class, we met with two instructors and 3 other couples, and they helped us to get a handle on some basic steps. Going into our individual lesson a few days before the wedding, my husband and I were figuring that Elizabeth would teach us some simple moves, just to get us through our first dance without tripping over each other. We were totally wrong about that - in the hourlong lesson, she managed to choreograph an entire dance for us! It was great, because it was simple enough that we could learn it during the lesson (and practice it later on our own!), but it also looked amazing. After practicing on our own for the next few days, we completely surprised everyone at the wedding with our first dance! We've received so many compliments on how nicely our dance turned out, and our friends were impressed that it only took one lesson. It was amazing! read more

These guys are AWESOME, and that's an understatement. I am such a reviews based person, so here is my testimony: My Dad wanted to do one of those Father/Daughter Mash-Up dances, where you start off on a slow dance and then break out into a choreographed dance to different songs, and I was petrified...neither of us are coordinated, to say the least. Like from 1-10 on being coordinated, I would put us both at a 2, the level of a blind turtle who's recovering from a broken leg...I mean, we could do the YMCA, and that's about the extent of it. Our instructor, Dennis, was nothing short of phenomenal. He is so fun, patient, kind and made this a great experience for both of us. We did 5 sessions and I was even able to use 1/2 of my last session with my now husband, to work on our first dance...where it became very evident that I should've also been doing dance lessons with him the whole time. All in all, we flipping crushed our Father-Daughter dance on the night of the wedding, and the crowd went wild. I assume this is the closest I will ever get to feeling famous, and it felt great, because we rocked it. Here's our video: https://vimeo.com/242504089/d247bae53c If we can do this, anyone can do this. So worth every penny and every minute of our time.

I have nothing but great things to say about my experience with Dennis as my Wedding Dance Coach. I took lessons with both my fiancé for our wedding dance and with my father for the father-daughter dance. We all began this adventure having little to no dance experience, and I think we were all a little nervous about how it would all turn out, but it was one of the best decisions I made surrounding the wedding. Our wedding dance was literally my favorite part of the day, and that means a lot coming from someone who never danced before and who isn't one to love the spotlight! It was fun, it was within our skill range, and many guests commented on how fun it was to watch. I felt like a princess when my fiancé and I ended our dance with a move that I had seen on the internet but never thought I would be able to pull off! One of the best parts of learning dances with both my fiancé and my father were the memories that were created leading up to the big day. We had so much fun and so many laughs spending some quality time and practicing the dances, so for those memories alone it was all worth it. My parents even came in for one lesson to learn some of the more fun group dances! If you are thinking of getting lessons, please see Dennis! He will help to make your day perfect, no doubt! read more

Although there is plenty of stress and planning that goes into a wedding, I was relatively relaxed about everything other than the first dance. Having had no dance experience or really any rhythm at all, I dreaded getting up in front of people and embarrassing myself. My wife knew this, and was smart/kind enough to book us five lessons with the Wedding Dance Coach. Melissa got us into a groove quickly and was an excellent teacher. She didn't push anything outside of our comfort zone, but also taught us some dance moves that I never thought that I was capable of. My wife and I definitely won't be winning any dance competitions in the future (my fault, not hers), but our first dance went great. Our guests were shocked at the work that went into the routine, and we definitely would not have been able to put on a show like that without Melissa's coaching and encouragement. The first dance went from being the most terrifying part of the wedding, to arguably my favorite part of the whole weekend. If you are nervous, or just want to become a better dancer, I highly recommend going to the Wedding Dance Coach! We will definitely use what we learned for years to come, and it was not only a fun experience but also so worthwhile. Thanks for all your help Melissa! read more

We totally surprised and wowed our guests with our first dance as husband and wife thanks to Elizabeth. This was our first dancing experience and we had no idea what we were doing or what to expect. Elizabeth made us feel very comfortable right away and was easy to work with, plus she is very positive and encouraging!! Elizabeth is a very passionate and talented dancer / teacher which shows in every lesson that she gives. She is also very creative and was able to take our music selections, assess our dancing abilities, and create a custom routine that was fun, fresh, contemporary, and fit our ability level. The looks on peoples faces when the music began to skip, after slow dancing for a bit, then come back in to up tempo 80's tunes was priceless. Here we are a week and a half later and people are still talking about how awesome our first dance was. We are so pleased and grateful for all the positive help and guidance that we received. Thank You Elizabeth for making our first dance so fun and memorable. Sincerely, Adam & Heather Spicer read more

Cannot recommend the Wedding Dance Coach enough! I had done the basic choreography of our first dance as I wanted to do a fun mash up of some of our favourite songs, but wanted to add an extra 'wow factor' to it and came across the Wedding Dance Coach. They helped us add in some amazing lifts, spins and poses as well as tidied up our initial slow dance portion and omg did it look incredible after!! My fiance was really apprehensive about doing this especially virtually as we are based in London but we had SO much fun in the lessons and he could see what a difference it made to our dance. PJ was our main teacher and she was so lovely and patient and such a good teacher over zoom! She was able to see if we were doing things wrong or struggling with things easily and came up with alternative suggestions. We then had a final lesson with Elizabeth who polished everything up; little things from hand positions to facial expressions. Honestly couldn't recommend this company more, whether you want in person lessons or virtual, it really will make your first dance so unique and amazing, whether you're a beginner or advanced dancer! Definitely book some lessons! read more

My better half and I had discussed taking dance lessons for our wedding. He is such a goofball but let's be honest, he did not know how to dance. I had danced when I was younger but never formal ballroom dancing. From the moment I inquired the Wedding Dance Coach the entire experience up through and even after our big day was simply amazing. We were provided more than enough information on pricing and packages to make our decision. We had picked our song and worked with Dennis once a week for 7 weeks. It does not seem like much looking back but we went from out of step, irregular paced goofing around to a stunning waltz that wowed every single guest. There was literally clapping, gasping, whistling, and cheering during our first dance and it was awesome. The funniest part is that looking back on our big day it felt like just us two. We weren't nervous or scared and we flowed through our routine like we were naturals. Even to this day we want to go back and take other types of dance lessons with him. All of the work and time Dennis put in with us paid off tenfold and we are eternally grateful! read more

I purchased several dance lessons for my daughter and her fiancée a couple of months prior to there wedding. My girlfriend and I decided to double up with them for the lessons, and I have to say that it was a brilliant decision. We had a tremendous amount of fun meeting up each week for the lessons, I got to see my new son-in-law interact in a whole different way with my daughter and I learned what a great sport he is. The lessons that we took together created a new bond among all of us, and being able to step up and actually dance at the wedding was special for all of us. Dennis was an incredible instructor! He was patient and encouraging and his talent for making us all feel at ease was a total pleasure. Our confidence level was high and within the first hour he had us moving gracefully across the dance floor. All-in-all the dance lessons were one of the highlights of the entire wedding experience, and for sure they were the best value. My girlfriend and I intend to continue lessons with Dennis for both the fun as well as the physical and mental work out. Mike and Sharon read more

We absolutely LOVED working with Maren. She is extremely professional, elegant, and kind. She is open and inclusive and made my wife and I feel right at home. We came to Maren with a first dance idea for our wedding that was more complicated than most, especially for beginning dancers, but Maren took it as a challenged a knew she could teach us the steps. She is very creative and can visualize beautiful dance numbers on the spot. Maren takes her time in teaching you each step and makes sure you have it down before moving on to the next. My wife and I went from being decent dancers to feeling like professional swing dancers in 7 sessions. Our guests are still talking about our first dance to this day and how amazing it was. Maren made us excited about dancing because we could see how passionate she was. Now we are going to continue dance lessons as a bonding experience and dance through life together. Book your sessions now, you won't regret it and you'll be wanting to come back for more! Thank you, thank you, thank you, Maren! read more

We LOVED LOVED LOVED using Dennis from the Wedding Dance Coach. With all the crazy planning and hours upon hours of wedding crafts and items to put together, it was amazing to have time with the two of us to just be together. Also Dennis was AWESOME! He listened to what we wanted and our ideas and we collaborated to find the perfect moves, silly, and sweet little items I wanted to incorporate into our dance. The ENTIRE dance was personalized and planned to our strengths and preferences. We are by no means dancers, but by the end of our five lessons we were looking pretty good! We were proud and excited to show off our moves and get the crowd ready to dance! We would not have changed a single thing about our experience with the wedding dance coach team. They were attentive through the whole process. They were flexible with our schedules and were patient with us (remember I said we were not dancers?). I will recommend this team to anyone that is interested in added a special touch to their wedding day!!! read more

Maren at My Wedding Dance Coach in Boulder was absolutely perfect for us. Maren read the style of dance we were looking for to a tee! My husband was super picky about not doing anything cheesy or over-choreographed and he was hesitant to start because of that. Maren read him perfectly and he was immediately at ease. We wanted to learn some good turns and be able to use them later for general purposes and we definitely will be able to! And most of all, we wanted a fun activity for date night and we got it! It was so much fun working with you. Our first dance itself was so much fun! The band played our song so well - they were jamming! Our photographer included in her blog post that it was the coolest first dance she'd ever seen between the band, the song choice ("Feel Like Making Love" by Bad Company), and our practiced, but not over-choreographed dance. Everyone oooh'ed when we started the two step and did some of our fun turns. This whole process with Maren was so fun and so worth it! read more

My new hubby and I are the worlds worst dancers... yet we have so much fun dancing that we do it anyway! BUT, for our wedding we did NOT just want to get up there for our first dance and sway back and forth 8th grade style (you all know what i'm talking about)! We decided as a wedding present to each other we would get dance lessons because not only did we get 5 built in dates from the lessons we practiced a lot at home and it was so fun! We both have really fun outgoing personalities so we asked Elizabeth from my wedding dance coach if she could choreograph us something FUN and she nailed it. Like I said we aren't good dancers but she was sooo good with us and patient and if you could see were we started to where we ended up some might even call her a saint ;). We picked three songs and did a surprise dance that was fun and goofy and our guests were so excited and loved it! I would hands down do it over and over again, for any bride considering if you SHOULD! =) read more

My husband and I worked with Maren for our first dance, and he and his mother also worked with her for their mother-son dance. Neither of us were very good dancers, so we wanted some help learning in order to look good with all our guests watching! She was very good at identifying what kind of dance would work with the songs we chose, and very patient and knowledgeable in teaching us moves which would work both for that dance and also could be adapted later for other songs too. An example of just how well her teaching worked: due to a mixup, the DJ played a different version of our first dance song than the one we had practiced to. After an initial heartbeat of mutual panic, we were able to get out there and danced so well that nobody knew that we weren't prepared to dance to that version of the song. Everybody loved both dances! I would highly recommend lessons from Wedding Dance Coach to any couples in the Denver area getting married. read more

She not only managed…read moreto teach two engineers how to dance (so trust us, she can teach anyone!) but did so with such kindness, patience, and grace. We were initially skeptical about learning remotely, but it ended up being the best possible way for us to learn! Sherry made the virtual experience so convenient, flexible, and surprisingly fun. Her ability to break things down and guide us step by step was just as effective as being in the same room--and it allowed us to practice comfortably at home on our own schedule. Sherry is an absolute gem--a beautiful soul who is so passionate about what she does, and it shines through in every lesson. She turned something we were nervous about into one of the highlights of our wedding preparation. Working with Sherry was such a joy, and we couldn't have asked for a better guide to help us prepare for our first dance. If you're looking for someone to help you feel confident, have fun, and create something truly special, Sherry is your person. We can't recommend her enough!

She took 15-20 minutes to explain the typical process on the phone to me and then we scheduled our first lesson. My wife and I were immediately put at ease by her friendliness and eagerness to help. We promptly booked 10 hours with Sherry. She took the time to walk through her openings with us so that we could fit all the lessons in before our wedding. She put together a wonderful choreographed routine to our song that made us feel special but was still easy enough to learn. Neither of us had partner dance experience before this so we started off very basic and worked up to fancier moves as we got more comfortable. Sherry was always very encouraging while providing clear and useful feedback. If we weren't understanding something, she would take the time to demonstrate again or explain it in a different way. She excels in being very specific with her critiques so that we knew exactly what we needed to practice and keep in mind. The dance lessons were such a fun experience for us amidst all of the other chaos of the month before our destination wedding. We absolutely LOVED Sherry and plan to return for more lessons in the near future. We can not recommend her highly enough!

She has the educational background (Master's Degree) in Special Education), and well over 10+ years of dance experience to effectively teach and guide children and young adults with special needs. Your dancer-athlete will learn speech, gross and fine motor skills, and working memory skills, all while dancing on a team, making new friends, exercising, and enjoying theirselves. It's therapy, however it's not therapy in a clinical sense. Special needs individuals often feel as though that's all they do is see a doctor, nurse, or a therapist in a clinical environment. This can get to be overwhelming and stressful for them. This is what happened with our daughter. We drove to therapy one day and she refused to get out of the car. After that, as parents we searched for a program for her where she could simply just be a kid. We found it with Starstruck Academy of Dance and PerformAbility Co! Your dancer-athlete will also learn the meaning of teamwork, patience, collaboration, compromise, and so much more! I asked my daughter the other day how long she plans on dancing and she said "Mom, I'm going to be a dancer and a cheerleader for life!" That works for us because dance has improved her poise, eye contact, and confidence. She has came out of her shell. Our family will be members of Performability Co for life! Thank you Ms. Melanie and Ms. Lisa for providing inclusion, love, and care for ALL of the young people in the community. We really appreciate you. You are the best!
