Whitney has been an excellent salsa instructor to my partner and me. Despite being novice dancers, her teaching approach is very accommodating as she breaks down the progressions into manageable sections, making the footwork enjoyable and effortless to grasp. The anticipation for our dance lessons with Whitney continues to mount.

For over two months, I have been taking bachata lessons with Whitney, who is an exceptional teacher. Despite having no background in dance, she has helped me learn an incredible amount. Whitney is wonderfully supportive and understanding, willing to take any amount of time to thoroughly explain even the smallest of intricacies. Alongside this, she possesses significant expertise and talents, ensuring that I continually strive for more. As someone who plans to continue studying with Whitney indefinitely, I can confidently recommend her to others who want to learn how to dance.

Whitney was an absolute joy to work with! Despite having zero dance experience and being somewhat lacking in coordination, my fiancé and I enlisted her help in crafting a routine. Over the course of two days, Whitney worked her magic and transformed us from two left-footed individuals to a cohesive dancing duo. Her professionalism and empathy were truly unparalleled - she effortlessly broke down the intricacies of our routine into easily manageable pieces, and even helped us identify different song cues so that we could practice independently. Whitney was always receptive to our ideas and suggestions, and made sure that we were both comfortable and confident in our routine. We can't thank her enough for all that she's done!

Whitney proved to be an exceptional dance instructor! Despite my lack of experience in Bachata or any other dance style, I was tasked with learning a choreographed routine for a special father-daughter dance. With remarkable patience, Whitney not only taught me the dance steps, but also provided me with invaluable techniques to recall crucial cues during the song. Thanks to her impeccable coaching, my daughter and I were able to execute the dance flawlessly at the wedding, resulting in unforgettable cherished memories. I cannot express my gratitude enough towards Whitney!
