Dancer Testimony

"My wife and I have been taking dance lessons with Amanda for more that 1 ½ years, first as a couple and then with another couple who are friends.  We have fun every time we go, and we learn something new every time.  Amanda is a terrific teacher because:  she knows her stuff; she understands couples dynamics and the challenges of learning how to lead and follow; she has a great sense of humor; and she insists that it be fun.  I’ve taken dance a few times previously and never went beyond a few lessons.  It never felt as personalized and there was eventually some ‘pressure’ to purchase more lessons. 
With Amanda it is totally relaxed and fun.  We tell everyone we know, most of whom “don’t get it”.  They would if they tried one lesson with Amanda.

 "I joined Dance Because when I was a volunteer in the city of Manchester.  I was a little skeptical at first but after two dance sessions my skepticism was gone.  Since joining I have enjoyed every day of it.  She has helped me overcome my fear of dancing in front of people and now,  I can honestly say, I love every bit of it.  She truly is a good instructor and teaches you at a very rudimentary level.  Her experience and expertise in dancing has truly won me over.  I wish I could dance with her studio every day!!!"

"My husband and I started taking dance lessons from Amanda about six months ago.  We are having so much fun with Amanda, we just won't miss a lesson.  We have been married thirty four years and whoever thought we would be dancing and doing it just for fun !!! Amanda is so talented, such a graceful dancer and a great, natural teacher.  We would recommend her to everyone who wants to dance!"

"I began ballroom dancing about a year ago and Amanda has always been the instructor I worked with, she makes everything easy to understand and simple, not to mention she helps you laugh things off along the way. Amanda's way of making ballroom more fun then usual makes her the best instructor I've ever had.  I wouldn't go to any other person except her.?"
