Let me first start off by saying that I do not give positive reviews flippantly. Out of the many services contracted for a wedding, my wife and I had a small issue with several services, and major issues with a couple of services. One of the ...few that we were completely satisfied with was the dance lessons with Erin O'Boyle at Social Style Dance.
Before coming to Erin, I did not dance. I did not really even like to dance. And yet there we were elegantly dancing for five minutes or so on our wedding day, impressing all of our family and friends.
Erin is a total professional. Before even stepping on the floor, there is a comprehensive discussion about a game plan. Preferred music, level of skill, venue considerations, etc. The game plan is then implemented step by step. Although she has many clients, she made herself available to accommodate OUR schedule. She was there for us in the early morning of our Saturday wedding to practice at the venue. She also came to the reception and videotaped us.
Erin's greatest skills are patience, and being able to explain things in different ways until you are able to understand. It is also obvious that she is an expert from classic to modern dance.
I had fun learning to dance, and I imagine that you will too. I can't say enough good things about Erin. I think we paid $1000 for 9 or 10 private lessons. That initially seemed like a lot, but when comparison shopping it was not out of line, especially considering this was for one-on-one attention. My wife and I consider it among the best values of our wedding services.
