Hi Michelle,

I just wanted to say thank you so much for our dance lessons to “Wonderful Tonight” by Eric Clapton for our first dance at our wedding! Everyone loved our moves and the dips looked amazing! Here is a picture from one of our guests! We will show you the video too once we get it back. :)

You are an excellent teacher and we would love to come back for more lessons for fun! Really appreciate your patience and expertise!
