We loved working with Applause Dance Academy (Miss.Kate!) for our first dance. As a dancer myself, had a big vision for our first dance. I wanted our dance to feel polished while a...
lso gentle and intimate, and Miss. Kate helped us do just that! She has such a wealth of knowledge and truly made us feel so comfortable on the big day. She is there to help your vision come alive. My husband is not a dancer, and Miss. Kate was able to give him tips and tricks to practice to help him loosen up and feel confident. I’d highly recommend Applause Dance Academy! If you’re looking for someone to give you choreography that matches your style, someone to truly care about how you feel during your first dance, and who takes the time to know you as a couple- Miss. Kate is it!
