Exceeded expectations

I was a bit nervous as I've never taken a dance class before, but the instructors made everyone feel comfortable. The historical context they provided made the dances so much more meaningful.

Great workshop but a bit crowded

The instruction was excellent and I learned a lot, but our session had about 20 people which made it a bit difficult to get personal attention. Still, a wonderful experience I'd recommend!
