Testimonials

Connie, Thank you for being the best dance instructor! You would have been so proud of us. We got through the entire dance without any mistakes and people were very impressed. Thank you for helping make our special night even better.
Elizabeth & Scott, Milwaukee WI

Connie, Thank you for taking the Kate Gosselin and Michael Bolton of amateur ballroom dancing and turning us into pros (to the untrained eye). The lessons, the encouragement, and the final product were priceless and memorable.
Dornechia & Kenny,, Milwaukee, WI

Connie, Thank you for your patience and time. OUr first dance was wonderful but the biggest gift was accomplishing it as a couple.
Bethany & Jason, Milwaukee, WI

Hi Connie! I have to tell you that Tim and I did AWESOME for our dance at the wedding! We were able to run through the routine a few times on Thu. & Fri. nights and we felt pretty comfortable with it. Just a little bit of butterflies, but not bad. Tim said he doesn't even remember the music - haha. When we were doing our first grapevine, I remember the hoots & hollers & clapping from the crowd and the applause at the end was awesome! Our son was 'freaked out' and our daughter was crying. We really pulled it off! A quote from the DJ......."I've seen a lot of couples who took a few dance classes try to do what you just did, but yours was the best I've ever seen". We couldn't have done it without you. Thank you for being a great dance instructor & choreographer. We wish you could've seen us - we'd like to think you would've been proud. Thanks for everything and perhaps we'll sign up for another round of dance classes with you!
Sue & Tim, Sun Prairie, WI

We both would like to let you know that we really enjoyed your class and appreciated your personable, calm and skilled teaching style. Your love of dancing is very infectious and that made the whole experience even more enjoyable. Looking forward to doing more classes with you soon.
Susan, Madison, WI
Fantastic website and pics. I really liked seeing the pictures of your competitions - very impressive! I really want to let you know how much I appreciate your teaching style. I didn't think it was possible to have learn so much so quickly. Kyle and I are having so much fun!! Amanda & Kyle, Sun Prairie, WI

My wife, daughter and future son-in-law decided to take the ballroom class to prepare for the wedding. We knew it would not be easy. My daughter had a horrible car accident a couple years ago and was expected to never walk again as well as suffer from permanent brain damage. She has regained her ability to walk but still struggles with the other injuries. My daughter desperately wanted to be able to walk down the aisle and dance at her wedding. Something we all wanted to see her do. Connie was incredibly patient and worked closely with all of us. She seemed to know when to give my daughter the time and space to work through things on her own and was there when she needed a hug or words of encouragement. She also gave us ideas for working with our daughter at home. We're thankful for her patience and professionalism and most of all the memories she's given us all. Thank you.

Hi Connie, We wanted to tell you how much we enjoyed your class! We appreciated how you were able to break each dance down into simple steps and make them easy to understand. We looked forward to each class! We have promised each other we will practice once a week from now on so that we don’t lose what we learned. A nephew’s wedding is coming up in September and we hope we can try out what we’ve learned. Thanks again,
Bob and Jane, DeForest
Connie, I just wanted you to know what an awesome experience this has been for me. I've always thought of myself as a "clutz" who could never learn to dance. So, beginning to learn to dance, AND beginning to love dance, well what can I say. I'm already planning to enroll in another class. Thanks!
Joyce, Madison

Connie, I just want to say thanks for the fun ballroom dance instruction you provide. I found it comfortable, effective (clear voice, concise messages, learning based on what was just learned, etc.) and most importantly fun. Thanks.
Jim, Madison WI

  • I love to dance and never get the chance-I enjoyed it very much and you are a wonderful instructor. If at anytime you are having more classes and know of someone who loves to dance and does not have a partner, please keep me in mind. Thank you again. It was a ball.
