Report
We highly recommend Monarch Ballroom and Dance. We squeezed in time to take classes before our wedding. Im so glad we did! We are super beginners and Crissy has been doing a phenomenal job teaching us steps and technique. We feel a lot more comfortable and confident for our big day. Thank you so much Crissy!
