“I took one lesson with Laney, and it was life-changing.
As a casual and dedicated dancer, I enjoy blues, salsa, swing, and any other type of dance that keeps *my machine oiled up*. I was pleasantly surprised that during my lesson, Laney brought out my potential for optimizing my solo dance experience. Her insights are now a critical component of my dance repertoire. Thank you, Laney; life will never be the same!”

“Laney is a caring and supportive teacher who is dedicated to discovering your natural strengths as a dancer and helping you make the most of them. Most people are stunned to learn how little dance experience I actually have. Laney played a huge role in giving me the strong foundation that made such rapid improvement possible.”

“After several years of swing dancing I have decided to take blues dance more seriously. I needed professional advice on how to transition from swing to blues dance. I approached Laney, because I liked her style of dancing and teaching. With her individual approach she could answer all of my questions and help me to better understand the dance in a short time. In the friendly atmosphere I have learned more than I anticipated and Laney sparked my interest to further continue with blues dancing. It was very pleasant experience and I am very happy about the result. I would recommend Laney to anyone who wants to start or improve their blues dance skills.”

“Laney has a remarkable ability to translate her wealth of knowledge and mastery of dance into a form that’s both easy to understand and highly effective towards helping others reach their goals. She creatively tailors her lessons to individually build and refine the solid foundations of dance while emphasizing the style and aesthetics that embellish it. And with each lesson she provides unique and challenging goals, each cleverly designed to either overcome personal obstacles or to help master each of the many complex skills taught. But what makes Laney truly awesome is not just her brilliance in the way she teaches, it’s equally who she is as a person. Her fun, spirited, good-natured, kind, enlivening, and charismatic personality, as well as her sheer passion for dance and for the community of people who share it, enriches the lives of and inspires all who know her. I highly recommend Laney to anyone, of any skill level, who is considering private lessons.”
