What People Are Saying:

I never thought I was capable of learning the steps. Now, I attend swing social gatherings with confidence. It's so much fun!  I am so grateful for Stephanie's lessons. 
~Stephanie Wilson, Student
Stephanie first taught us in a group class. We took around 3 months of group classes, which are lots of fun. Stephanie made it easy to learn and managed the mixed abilities within the class.  We then decided to take private classes with Stephanie to prepare for our wedding dance. She perfectly choreographed a dance that fitted our skills set and experience, based on the song we chose, and it was also really well considered for our characters! She managed our frustrations really well, and got us through the tough moments until we were practicing alone easily.  We developed a close relationship through our work together. I can wholeheartedly recommend everything Stephanie does!
~Jay H., Wedding client
She not only teaches her students how to move and enjoy themselves on the dance floor, but also helps them learn how to connect to the music and their partners and grow as dancers. There are few as versatile, meticulous and passionate as Stephanie when it comes to teaching and choreographing a variety of dance styles.
