I wasn’t sure how my fiancé was going to react to the lessons and after our two hours he booked another session for us he enjoyed it so much! We will continue now with group lessons in our future! Thanks, Wesley!
I first attended a group class, since DWMM has classes every day of the week and it's nice that they're at the same time too! It took me a while for dance to grow on me and really get good. But the instructors and everyone who not only works here, but who dances here is wonderful!
I have Srna and Milijan who are both amazing at what they do and are very funny and caring. Mariam who works at the front desk is an absolute sweetheart!! Everyone is so supportive of each other and fun to talk to, this really became my second family ❤️
DWMM even invited me to come watch their Nationals competition in December, which was Winter Ball ❄️ I was so sad I couldn't compete, but I wasn't dancing long enough and they wanted to make sure I was totally prepared.
When I had to take a break from dance and couldn't dance for a while, my instructor called me just to check in on me and see how I was doing. As I wasn't dancing I felt like something was missing and I just wasn't the same person (as cliche as that might sound)!
Now I've just finished competing in my 1st ever dance competition winning 2nd place 2x in the Championship rounds!! They have a gala, theme for the competition, and it's a whole experience 😍 The competitions all have different themes. This one was 50's.
I always wanted to have something be my thing and devote all my time and energy into it and compete, and now I finally got my wish ❤️
