r us based on our individual strengths and weaknesses. Our guests enjoyed every bit of it! We had so much fun that we decided to dance to the whole song instead of the short snippet we had originally planned. The rehearsal process was equally as enjoyable. He made us feel comfortable with making mistakes, provided great support when we got frustrated or needed more help, made us feel accomplished when we got the choreography right, and kept us laughing and smiling the whole time with his light-hearted jokes and easygoing, friendly demeanor. Behind the scenes, he was incredibly professional and worked with us to accommodate our busy schedules. I cannot recommend Michael P enough! Thank you, Michael, for making our first dance so special and memorable for us!

h with Michael, told him what song we were dancing to. We had a few lessons with Michael. I was nervous about dancing to this song, but Michael showed us a few steps and after a few lessons I was comfortable and confident. When it was time for my son and I to dance, I felt excited and confident with our dance. I will treasure that dance with my son forever. Thanks Michael P. But the bride and grooms dance that Michael taught them was breath taking. All the weddings I've been to I have to say it was the most elegant dance I've ever seen.
Michael is professional, fun and you can tell he loves what he does. Thank you Michael P. Next lessons country dancing?
