Her way of teaching and reaching out to everyone to get the best out of them is amazing coupled with her vast knowledge of dance and fitness is displayed in her teaching. Michelle will definitely spice up any event or conference program!

I just wanted you to know that we LOVED your class on Saturday morning!  You are amazing and really made our first class awesome. I was pretty nervous going in as I felt very out of shape and wasn’t sure I’d be able to do it.  You made working out fun and I can’t express to you enough how much I loved it. Thanks a lot!"

 "The Adult Dance Grooves are really paying off for my ego! At a work function I was dancing and used some of the 'moves' you taught in class, and lasted for three hours!  All the young people on the staff were so impressed with the 'moves.' and stamina they commented I how fabulous I was! Thank you!"

"Having taught girls phys ed for over 10 years, one of the biggest challenges I face is getting them moving while having fun - when Michelle comes to instruct she makes it look easy. Her way of motivating them is incredible and students beg to have her back - she is by far the best guest instructor each year!
