Grace Dances

learning several spins, dips, and moves to add to our repertoire for the future. All of our guests were super impressed! I have to admit, we weren't quite anticipating all the cheers and 'woohoos' coming from the crowd! Grace is talented and a delight to work with!

fun. She is an excellent teacher who knows how to work with complete beginners and make them feel comfortable. She also emails out notes at the end of each session which made it really easy to practice outside of the lessons. We learned SO much in just the 4 lessons and ended up having an awesome first dance that incorporated spins and a dip at the end. Guests were impressed and probably surprised that we knew what we were doing. Would highly recommend Grace to anyone looking to prep for a wedding dance or just looking to learn in general!

be too much - during our lessons, giggling like school children over our missteps and mistakes. We did just four lessons but ended up surprisingly coordinated considering our starting point. Grace was patient and helpful at each step. She also was good about following up like "hope you’re practicing!" I also appreciated that it was in a more private setting and felt more personal than a big dance studio. She's just a warm, non-judgy person. We felt very comfortable and that means a lot because my husband was really nervous since he had relegated himself to the "no rhythm" folk. If you're on the fence about doing dance lessons, I recommend that you do it. It really is a fun experience when you have someone like grace. We also still randomly put on a song and dance at home now that we have a couple tricks up our sleeve. We're going to be out of Austin for a year for work stuff but, when we come back, we are considering learning some new moves from Grace as well.

le who don't have a ton of experience dancing and made us look pretty dang good, if you ask me!

first lesson, Grace gave us tools regarding posture and communication that allowed us to dance together much more easily. She was thoughtful about our wedding song and gave us a variety of moves that were both appropriate for the song and within our ability range. In just four lessons, we feel so much more comfortable about our first dance--and our family can't wait to see our new moves! We'd go back to Grace in a heartbeat.

f five days and were able to learn about a dozen different moves to perform at our first dance, in addition to basic technique (open and closed position, two-step, etc.). In other words, Grace turned what would have been an extremely awkward first dance into something passing for Graceful! In her teaching, Grace is clear, articulate, and precise, making it very easy to learn from her. Moreover, she is warm, understanding, patient, and charming, making it very pleasant to work with her. In sum, Grace possesses all of the qualities that make for a consummate instructor in dance and we cannot recommend her more highly.

I had met Grace a few years ago through the local dance scene and felt confident that she would be a good personality match to reduce DH's fears about dancing. The first session went so well that the nervous groom came home after the lesson and suggested moving our living room coffee table aside to practice a few more times before the night ended! It takes a really great instructor like Grace to spark an interest like that in someone anxious about dancing and then to support that new dancer so that it becomes a positive, fun experience. Grace was extremely patient and encouraging, and she addressed both of our learning styles to help us dance in sync together and dance our first dance confidently and with joy.
