"Not only did we receive a standing ovation but we would like to give you one
 as well!! Our friends were cheering "best first dance ever" as we finished and
 took our seats. You were a wonderful teacher and we had so much fun
 learning the steps. Everyone was definitely amazed as we progressed from
 one dance to the next, thank you for pushing us to do the medley. That was by
 far one of the most memorable parts of the evening for Rich and I. As soon as
 we have some spare time we will be back for more lessons. Thanks again"
Jessica & Rich Christenson, married May 28, 2006

"I wanted to let you know that our wedding and our first dance were both fantastic. I had questioned if we should bother with dance lessons during an already very busy time. I am so glad that we did. Our first dance was one of my favorite things from the wedding. Peter and I did it flawlessly and had fun doing it too. After seeing how much trouble Peter had with just the basic steps and how quickly I got frustrated with him I didn't believe we would be able to do it . It was your patience and excellent teaching that made it happen!"
Hillary & Peter Sturman, married April 23, 2006

"When my partner and I wanted to learn the foxtrot for our upcoming wedding we had two hurtles to overcome. First, he naturally wanted to go to the left and I wanted to go to the right and second, we had 2 weeks to learn the dance. Michele taught us the steps in a logical, precise manner. If we didn't understand one way she would teach us the steps with another method. This had us both going in the same direction-with rhythm! The lessons were so fun we are going back to learn another dance style. Thanks, Richard and Michael"
Richard Froio & Michael Moore, married December 31, 2006

"Patty and I had so much fun taking swing lessons with you. My mother kept raving about how wonderful we looked on the dance floor, and even our hip hop-loving friends said the moves looked pretty cool. When we started out, I had trouble adding even two steps together, but by the end we could have taken on integral calculus. Thanks for everything, Michele!"
Jeff Chuang and Patty Chang, married July 1, 2006
 

"I just wanted to thank you for helping us with our first dance. We had so much fun taking lessons - something I am quite certain Kevin did not expect. The dance was perfect. We ended at just the right time. Everyone complemented us on the dance and some even said it was the best first dance they had ever seen. We couldn't have done it without you. PS Check out my fingers, they actually were together!"
Kevin Norcott & Jill Murphy, married June 11, 2005

"Thank you for your wonderful work with us while we were in Boston.  You’ve made an enormous difference in our relationship to dance (after 35 years of telling me that he “can’t dance,” Marty now asks me to practice every single evening!). We enjoyed getting to know you and, of course, are very grateful for your instruction.  I hope we will be able to arrange future lessons with you when we’re back in Boston."
Dr. Louise Bickman & Dr. Marty Bickman, Boulder, CO July 2005

"We hope you enjoy these photos. As you can see, our families and guests were quite surprised and impressed with our dancing! Thanks for being such a terrific teacher. Taking lessons with you was definitely the highlight of our wedding planning process and being able to dance confidently at our reception made it so much fun!"
Yasamin & Seth Brooks, married June 11, 2005

"Our dance lessons were worth every penny! It felt great to have a perfect first dance in front of all our guests. We have not seen the video yet but will send you a copy when we receive it. Thanks so much."
Mie & Byron Powell, married June 11, 2005

 

"Thank you so much for the dance lessons in preparation for our wedding. We looked so forward to the lessons each week and enjoyed getting to know you.  It's ironic that our dance lessons became an oasis for us in those hectic few months.  Again thank you for bringing dance into our wedding and our lives!"
Susan & Carson Biederman, married July 23, 2005
 

“We had a wonderful time at our son's wedding. When Tom came for his first lesson he was very nervous, 'sure' that he could not learn and had two left feet. That quickly changed with your calming voice and clear instruction. As we finished each lesson, we became more and more confident. We even started to buy CDs and dance in our living room! At the reception we danced from 7pm to one in the morning. We had so much fun and know that with our your help it wouldn't have been easy. Why didn't we take lessons earlier?”
Cindy & Tom Schott, June 2004

“Henry and I wanted to thank you for helping to get us dancing. We had a lot of fun with the lessons and even more fun dancing at the reception. The audience was suitably impressed. Thanks again.”
Liz & Henry Sappenfield, married May 29, 2004

“My husband and I attempted, and I emphasize attempted, to take a group dance class a few years ago to learn a few basic steps.  After stepping on each other's feet, and getting frustrated neither of us  was thrilled about preparing for our first dance. Thankfully, Michele made the entire experience enjoyable.  Not only is Michele an accomplished dancer, but she also understands the stress of wedding planning and is quick with a laugh to lighten the mood.  Because of her skill and demeanor, our dance lessons with Michele were the highlight of the last month before our wedding.  She helped us feel comfortable with our dancing, allowing us to enjoy ourselves during our first dance and concentrate on each other rather than counting '1-2-3'.  Ending with that moment of applause from an entire room full of our family and friends is something that neither of us will forget.”
Anthony & Lauren Barnes, married February 15, 2004

“So, can we just tell you we nailed it? We even remembered to hold the kiss long enough for it to be photographed! You know I had doubts that anyone could teach this 'Elaine' to dance - but you proved me wrong. Thank you so much for being so patient and helping John and I learn how to dance - we seriously couldn't have done it without you. You are a wonderful teacher - thank you for making our wedding that memorable!”
Deb & John Kassin, married October 3, 2004
 

“I just thought I'd say hi and let you know again what a wonderful time we had learning to dance for our wedding. The dance went so well you would have been proud of us. Everyone commented on how good we looked together. It was so worth the lessons. And we even pulled off the swing pretty well. Everyone had a ball!”
Heather & Eric Sullivan, married July 10, 2004
