I had been looking for a weekend course for a while and was so pleased to find Dancebuzz! My schedule is such that I travel a lot and my partner works shifts so doing a regular class was always difficult for us. This day's course was fabulous. It gave us a good foundation in a number of dances and we got plenty of dance practice too. The teacher was fun, patient and led the class really well. A great experience for my partner and I!
