Testimonials

Here's what some of my former and current students are saying:

Hi Sondra,

I just wanted to write you to tell you how impressed I was with your business. First of all, everything was so professional, the room we danced in, the music, the ambiance...everything!!! The technicality of the moves you taught us will have us ready to look so cultured the next time we have an important event but it was your effervescent personality what really made it worth while. Your price was very reasonable and I loved how intimate your teaching and the dance moves were. My husband and I are trying to find a time when we can come out and do this again, even though we do live 60 miles away (you make it worth the drive). I will certainly spread the word about your dancing business and hope and pray that it continues to blossom!

Thank you so much,
Nelldra

Sondra,

I wanted to send you this picture as it is one of my favorites from our dance at our wedding reception! You did a fantastic job preparing us and we had so much fun with the lessons and at the reception. We received your note in the mail and that was so nice of you to think of us and send that!

Thank you so much!

Dear Sondra,

We are very grateful for the wonderful class you taught, at our conference. It was one of the highlights of the workshops.  You have a wonderful personality and the fact that you handled a very large class with such ease, is a credit to you.  Everyone that participated really enjoyed it. I certainly will recommend you to others and will keep your phone handy for our other activities.

Kudos to you.

Many Blessings

"I was determined to do a 'real' dance at my wedding. My husband was not so sure if he was going to be able to learn to dance. I have been a dancer my whole life, and he is the kind of guy that sits on the side and watches everyone else dance. Sandra made the dancing fun for both of us. We all laughed a lot! We looked forward to our lessons every week, and I even convinced my parents to join us for a few lessons! It was fun having my husband twirl me on the dance floor, especially in my dress! Sandra's smile and her patience for our lack of practice was exactly what we needed. I will always remember the first 'real' dance with my husband - Thanks Sandra!

Sondra is a wonderful dance teacher! She helped us choreograph our beautiful wedding dance. She put together the steps and moves tailored to our abilities and our chosen wedding song. Our wedding guests were very impressed with our first dance. It was very memorable night for us.

Our best friends also used Sondra for their wedding based on our recommendation. Sondra taught not only the bride and groom but also the bride and her father!! The first dance and the father-daughter dance were magnificent.

We recommend Sondra to anyone wishing to dance better. If she can teach us, she can teach anyone!!

....I have been an educator all my life- and a dancer only a few months. I strongly recommend Sondra to the beginner or advanced student as someone who knows dance well, is a talented teacher and is very enthusiastic about what she does!

Hi Sondra,

...I wanted to thank you for the dance lessons; I feel that Dan and I would have been lost without them. It was really great to be confident getting out on the dance floor and know that we weren't going to look silly.

Although we didn't do the entire routine, as my dress was longer then I thought, and I was afraid I was going to step on it, because of your lessons we were able to improvise and nobody watching knew.

I was given your name by my sister who used you two years earlier at her wedding and she had gotten your name from a friend of hers, I was at both weddings and their first dances were spectacular, I will never forget watching my sister and her husband move around the floor, it was really moving.

And don't forget working with my Dad! He worked with you for and hour or two before both of his daughters weddings and he moved us around the dance floor with ease, I know he really enjoyed it.

Thank you for everything

Sondra Chan has been one of our dance instructors at Northwest Health Clubs. She knows her patterns thoroughly, has excellent technique, and takes her teaching very seriously. This would be enough to make her an excellent teacher, which she is. The bonus is that she has an infectious personality, great sense of humor and a very positive teaching style. We’ve never seen anyone come away from her classes discouraged or cranky. Her students love her and she genuinely cares about her students. She’s a tireless worker to make her program succeed, even investing some of her own resources to get the word out.

We recommended her as a group instructor for a fundraising event, as well, and were impressed with her ability to work with a large group. Most of the people there had had little or no dance instruction. Some were visibly hesitant to join in. Those who did, however, had a great time and came away knowing enough about dancing the foxtrot and the rumba to dance socially without feeling inept. She was very clear in her instruction. It was a bit of genius on her part to have taught two dances, which would seem to be totally different, by finding the common ground. Many commented on how accessible she made the lesson.

Dear Sondra,

People are still telling me what fun they had at our wedding reception learning how to dance. Your waltz and swing lessons really made our reception memorable and unique. It was great to see friends and family, who would normally just sit at a table all night, get up on the dance floor and learn to dance with everyone else.

You worked so well with our guests. Your warm, encouraging personality really put people at ease, and your energy and clear love of ballroom dancing made it fun for everyone. One of our guests told us that he had such a great time learning how to dance from you at our reception that he later took your group classes.

You also worked really well with the other staff at our reception. Our DJ and videographer commented that they really enjoyed the way you handled the lessons. And our wedding coordinator was so impressed that she gathered the whole wait and bar staff together to watch the dancing.

Thank you so much for making our reception special.

Sincerely,

Michele Picard
