Response from Johanna Michelle Dance:
Thank you so much for having me; your residents were an absolute delight to dance with! Hope to see them again soon!
Johanna was unfortunately sick the day of our event but she found a colleague to perform in her place who was wonderful!! It was so nice of Johanna to go the extra length to find another dancer and she was very communicative. I hope we can hire her again to see her perform (but if she’s anything like Nicole who performed for us she is surely a star!)

Thank you so much for the reply!! Your event was wonderful, thanks for having me!
Johanna is a wonderful dancer and a gorgeous lady! She was very professional and came on time. She entertained us all with her beautiful moves. One performance with the Iris wings and another with her sword. She was also very easy to work with and soft spoken.
I would recommend her.
Thanks!
