    I really enjoyed the class. Jill was great at breaking things down so we understood the movement. It was a very welcoming environment for new comers. I already signed up for the next session.

    Jill was a lovely and helpful instructor. I had to stop going after the third session due to an injury (not a born dancer!), but I found the teacher and her assistant very encouraging and the atmosphere very accepting of all bodies and abilities. Great starter class to get a taste of tap dancing!
