"Thank you again for all your help and creativity in making our first dance a spectacular one that went above our expectations!"

And here is another compliment Ava got from one of the couples she choreographed for
"My husband and I found Ava Apple’s information online to prepare for our first dance at our wedding. Taking classes with her far exceeded our expectations! We are both horrible dancers and had very little hope of performing well during our first dance. Ava taught us step by step, teaching us one to two moves per lesson so that we were never overwhelmed. She is a fantastic teacher with a lot of patience. By the end of our five lessons, we had a beautifully choreographed dance and were taught how to recover if we misstepped. My husband and I felt ready for our first dance, but still nervous. In the end, our dance was the highlight of our wedding and we received countless compliments on how great our dance was. We highly recommend taking lessons with Ava!"
