I was there last night at the first night of a 12-week dance class], and I thought that Wendy struck the right balance as caller and teacher, presenting the new material at a speed that allowed the new dancers to absorb it and experience the fun of dancing competently. For the most part, the five squares succeeded in completing the steps and tips without breaking down; achieving that feeling of success in learning something new is exciting and a testament to Wendy's skill.

We couldn't have asked for a better instructor. You are awesome!

Hi Wendy, Heard back from several people who enjoyed their square dance evening last Friday. One appreciated how much you were able to teach her in one evening (she had not square danced before), and another thought it was great that you were able to include the kids -- that there would be good family memories from that which would last for years to come. I'm sure we're a pretty 'chaotic' group to deal with, but your patience and sense of humour make it all work. :-) Thanks a million,

Wendy is the best teacher I've come across for new dance steps--and I've been to hundreds of dance lessons in the last 60 years and have taught dance myself.

I am truly impressed with your instruction style. I was a teacher, so, I can appreciate a very good teacher when I'm with one. Thank you very much.

Hi Wendy, I had such a fabulous time yesterday afternoon!!! I've marked my calendar for the rest of the year. We are impressed with your ability to teach, see what is going on in a square, and your timing, which makes dancing so much easier and more enjoyable. Keep up the good work.
