TOdegard's reviews

I didn't want to dance, but my fiance really wanted us to have a beautiful first dance. So I agreed to take lessons. My fiance found Szewai on craigslist.org. I wasn't happy to find that we hand arranged to take lessons with a female; I thought that I would have a hard time relating to her and that she would have a difficult time communicating with me (I am decidedly macho, as my fiance criticizes). With all this said, after the first lesson with Szewai, my opinion changed. Szewai was very patient and actually took time to ask me about my "movement history" (football and track in high school; track in college; still a runner) and she related the dance movements to what I was familiar with. This made me comfortable and confident that I could learn. We took ten lessons before the wedding and ended up learning a lot. My now wife was very happy with the results of our first dance. The one thing I wish I could change is the number of lessons we took before the wedding. We unfortunately delayed until a month before the day. I would like to go back and start at least six months in advance so we could have been even better. We do plan to take more lessons with Szewai in the near future.
