The dance instructor was supposed to be there from 4 to 530, she showed up at about 420 and then took forever to get started, not very organized. Then when they were dancing with the kids (girls only) they didn't necessarily teach them a full dance or any of the latest dance moves like I requested. Also it seemed like they had a hard time keeping the kids engaged and even getting them involved. I am not quite sure what time the instructor left either. It seemed that my daughter had fun, however I feel I did not get what I paid for, so overall I was not satisfied. I most likely would not use them again or recommend them.
Ted came to our family party and has some much energy and talent.
Had the whole room trying to dance hip hop.
Nice person.
All enjoyed!
Mr Williams was amazing at my wedding reception, he was on time, professional and his dance moves were beyond belief. I would absolutely recommend him to anyone looking for entertainment.
