I went to patty's dance studio with a bachelorette party group and we had an amazing time learning from her! She made it easy for us and was patient and still let us have our fun learning. Highly recommend! She was always so kind, accommodating, and loving during our planning process. Couldn't have chosen a better studio or instructor!

We are SO LUCKY to have found Patty. She choreographed the best hip hop dance for our wedding and patiently taught it to us over a number of sessions. She knows a broad range of styles and came up with a dance routine that was actually cool, not at all cheesy. She has the most amazing, positive energy and kept us really motivated to learn and perfect the routine. The weeks leading up to your wedding are an incredibly stressful time, and our lessons were something fun we looked forward to amidst all the other obligations. Her pricing is beyond reasonable, too. Our routine was a surprise, and guests

Awesome dance class! Patty is a great dance teacher who really cares about her students. She encouraged us to email her any questions we had or certain songs we wanted to dance to. Patty teaches you how to become comfortable dancing on your own and finding your own rhythm to any beat. Im excited to take the next class!

I had the oppurtunity to dance with Patty back in college so when I heard she became a dance instructor I knew it'd be great. I went on vacation in New York a few weeks ago and stumbled upon her classes through groupon, I had the oppurtunity to "style my motion," with Patty's intricate stylish moves. With dance she emphasized that I shouldn't be afraid to add my own flavor and just let the music lead me. Patty is a great dance instructor she encourages and motivates you to push your body to its limit and for that I am thankful and honored to have had the privilege to learn some moves from her.

This was such a great class!!! Patty made the movements easy to follow and she would point out when I was going offcourse as soon as I started doing it! She really pays attention to everyone and makes sure youre comfortable! I went with a friend of mine who has never taken a dance class and she felt like it was a safe space for her. Definitely coming back!!!

This was soo much fun!!! Patty is an amazing dance teacher, she goes slow and makes sure everyone's comfortable. I can say from personal experience that I am not a good dancer but Patty teaches you in a way that makes you more passionate about dancing. I can definitely say I'm coming back and recommending her to my friends!!
