It exceeded my expectations! By having classes once a week, I could practice in between, and progress at my own pace. I could also go at my own pace, as it would be difficult to do 8 hours of dancing in one day!

Incredible. I learned so much. Aubrey Atwater is a fine teacher. She wove the elements of the class together so that I came out able to dance. It’s a big deal. She is amazing.

Aubrey is a wonderful teacher. This is a good class to learn the basic steps or to reinforce the basics.
