We hired Lesley to teach us a dance for our wedding this past August. Neither of us had any ballroom dance experience and to be honest, had pretty low expectations about what we could accomplish.
I called another local dance studio that was r...ude to me... and now I'm kind of glad because my second call was to Lesley... and she's been the BEST. (GO TO LESLEY BEFORE ANYONE ELSE, seriously she's the best).
Lesley is an extremely competent dancer but also a wonderful, patient, and skilled teacher. When we're with Lesley, dancing is fun, not intimidating! She has a refreshing personality and pushes us to get better and do our best. She is easy to communicate with- both on the dance floor and when we're scheduling lessons.
Not only did Lesley help us put together the perfect wedding dance, but she's given us a hobby that we can continue as a married couple. We did about 8 dance lessons before our wedding, and now see Lesley every week for lessons. We have no learned 7 dances (!!!!!!!): night club 2 step, tango, cha cha, waltz, foxtrot, rhumba, and east coast single rhythm swing!
