Ballroom Dancing with Candace Woodward-Clough

e instructor who could teach us in a low number of sessions, as we had little time to learn. Before Candace, all I could locate were expensive, impersonal dance studios that required a huge time investment every week for many weeks. I never interacted with the teachers, but rather the studios' receptionists. From the first phone call, Candace welcomed discussing and accommodating our specific needs as our potential teacher. She took the song we wanted to use, choreographed a lovely dance for it, and taught it to us in just two Saturday sessions convenient for our schedules. To our pleasant surprise, whenever we went to her studio, she even made me and my then fiancé—who had never danced with each other, had barely danced on our own before, and felt quite nervous about performing a waltz in front of so many family and friends—feel comfortable and at ease! She infused confidence into us with her cheerful encouragement and clear instructions. I can't imagine having a better dance instructor!
