"Everyone
LOVED our first dance! When we started out everyone was
talking amongst themselves thinking we'd be doing some
boring dance. But then everyone got quiet and were watching
and cheering and clapping!
Everyone raved about it, and we did well. Thanks!"
--Jana and Simon
"Thank
you so much for the dance lessons. We had a lot of fun
during them and received many compliments on our first
dance! Thank you!" -- Megan & Pete
"I
first met Deborah when my daughter and I wanted to do
a special father/daughter dance for her wedding. We brought
the music to her and she choreographed a wonderful routine.
We didn´t know then that it was a viennese waltz
and one of the harder dances to teach, but she was unphased.
That experience made me believe that a life long dream
of dance was possible for me. I loved to dance, but never
had taken lessons and I was 48 years old. It started with
a simple waltz together at her studio showcase night and
culminated in a performance at an orphanage in Guatemala.
In between were out of state competitions and dancing
in the rotunda of the state capital. Deborah's desire
is always for her students and you will soon find out
that dance is not a job for her, but an expression of
herself. She helped my dreams come true." --Tony

"Thank you very much for all your help with our wedding
dance. We received tons of compliments on it, and used
all of the other dances we learned on our honeymoon. Thank
you again! " --Jessica and Reed
"We
had so much fun with you guys choreographing our wedding
dance! Making our first dance so special was completely
worth the cost and effort. We got so many compliments
on it along with our choice of song. Even now we enjoy
watching the dance on video because it's so beautiful.
Thanks so much for your creativity, time, & patience.
We couldn't have done it without you!"--Sara and
Craig Schnuelle
"Our
wedding dance routine was perfect! We had so much fun
with it and people were so impressed. It was one of the
best 2-3 minutes of our wedding day."--Tisha and
Cindy
"To
Eric: Just wanted to thank you for some great lessons.
Truly fun. In talking this over with my sister (who has
spent over $3,000 in dancing lessons --no, that is not
a typo!), she said that you were a far better teacher
than anyone else she has had. So thank you, thank you,
thank you." --Marilyn
"We
just wanted to thank you again for the dance lessons you
gave us before our wedding. All of our guests were surprised
and impressed with our first dance!" --Chris and
Amy Byrnes
"I
went to a club last night with some friends and they were
actually astounded I had so much rhythm. Not that I was
whipping out the foxtrot or waltzing around anywhere but
I think the confidence to get out there and just DO it
that I got from you guys still carries me to this day."
--Phil
"To
Deborah: "you're a natural teacher of something you
dearly love...thank you for always bringing enthusiasm
and much encouragement, then also fun to the dance lessons
I took with you. It turned out to be harder than I expected,
but I learned that salsa is not impossible for a stiff
white man with chronic bursitis, a bad back, and motion
sickness." --Perry
"My
wife Jennifer and I started out taking a 4-week jitterbug
/ west coast swing class from Deborah in 2003. We had
such a great time that we have since taken private lessons
in Rhumba, Salsa, and Viennese Waltz, and have been participating
in an ongoing Medal Group class with two other couples
in Foxtrot and Waltz. Deborah and Eric are wonderfully
talented dancers, gifted teachers, are great fun to be
with, and have made incredibly patient progress getting
my white-guy hips introduced to latin motion. I assure
you, if they can do that, there is no aspect of teaching
dance that they can't manage!" --David Bradley
