AMAZING! TALENTED! RESPONSIVE! PATIENT!

Poonam is awesome! She goes the extra mile to make sure your choreographed dance is exactly what you want. She spent over an hour on the phone with me just to help me pick a song that would fit what I was looking for. I hired her to perform a dance with my bridal party at my wedding. She came up with such a fun and easy to learn dance for us. She was so sweet during the process. It's quite clear that she is a professional dancer and trainer. She breaks down the moves really well and makes it easy to learn, even for a few of us who were beginners. She is patient and awesome at innovating the moves to accommodate all skill levels. I highly recommend her!!

Poonam put a hiphop routine together for my 10-year old to perform in her school talent show. She was very patient. My daughter felt very comfortable working with her. DEFINITELY A 5 OUT OF 5 STARS!!!! Thank you Poonam!
