"Thanks so much for facilitating the holiday party and the earrings that I received.  You are always very thoughtful.  It was a fun night and an opportunity to get to know some of the other girls better.  Also - a huge thanks for the atmosphere and positive energy that you always create for us to be part of and take forward with us.  I hope that you and yours have a wonderful holiday."

Merry Christmas,
Dawn


"I think you’re a wonderful teacher. And what I love about it most is that while we’re all attempting to perfect our dances and styles, you aren’t a drill sergeant. We can learn at our own pace and you don’t get upset or all bent out of shape if something isn’t “perfect.” I’ve read in my magazines experiences of other dancers who had instructors that were just awful. If every drop wasn’t precise, if every camel lumbering across the desert isn’t perfectly undulated, if a sword dips just the slightest, that dancer is berated in front of her classmates. I would drop a class like that and never come back! It would be nice if dancing was my profession and I could practice hours a day and thus perfect techniques, etc. From articles I’ve read, most local troupes like ours are dancing for the joy of it and love of dancing. You’re teaching these classes obviously because you love the dance and you want us to love it as much as you do!"

"I love the class.  I initially signed up for four classes, but I plan on signing up for more when my four weeks are up.  Working in education I have to say that you are a very good teacher.  You explain things in their simplest form.  Since most of us are probably brain dead by that time of the day that is much appreciated!"
