From the very first lesson, Sophia was quick to adapt her teaching to my learning style, and she exuded positive energy. Over time, I had occasion to see Sophia with other students, and how different her lessons were with each student, depending on their needs. I never bought lessons in advance, so I never felt committed to taking lessons, but I kept coming back every week for 2 years -- and I am taking my first break for the moment because I'm taking a sabbatical. I consider Sophia a friend, in addition to a truly unique and wonderful dance instructor.

Sophia is simply the best. She's great for beginners like us, very patient and supportive. Some teachers assume you'll somehow pick up the steps as you go along, but so far Sophia cheerfully and caringly works with you on the steps for as long as it takes to get the hang of it. She makes us want to run home and practice so we can make her proud on our next lesson. Since marriage was in our plans and we've heard great reviews, she's the first professional we called, and we have to say, she made the wedding dance truly memorable. We are certain she can make any couple feel ready to handle anything. What a great find!
