was great to have you there and I was impressed with how well
you teach. I stopped by your workshop mainly just to peek in

seeing how clearly and patiently you teach". Linda Littleton,
Artistic Director, Folk College (May '09) ~
Dear Peggy, Thank you for the wonderful
dancing classes! I absolutely loved it, and I'm hooked on clogging
already. I learned more in that one class than I learned in
a year of regular dance classes. Thank you so much! Sincerely,
(Willa, May '11)

NEFFA,
Mansfield High School, Mansfield, MA (2011) Advanced
Latin Waltz, ~ Latin-style waltzes are up-tempo and exciting.
The workshop material includes lunges, pivots and swivels with
a "south of the border" feel. Thought
I'd get off an email to you straight away to tell you what a
great class it was on Saturday at the NEFFA festival. I've taken
so many dance lessons in the past and very little has stuck
with me. Your Latin Waltz class was different, I learned a lot
that I know will stay with me. Your method of teaching was comprehensive.

again for doing the workshop for PCD. I've gotten only great
feedback! And, personally, thanks! ... Finally, waltzing in

but insist on making the dreaded the V-frame. Thanks! It's a
long established habit, so it will be hard to break, but I finally
understand what's wrong. Marie
