Emily was a fantastic teacher! She did such a wonderful job of taking the dance steps my husband and I already felt comfortable with and adding just enough new material to make the dance really special. She was patient, creative and fun to work with. We had a great time learning and would definitely recommend her services.
I googled dance studios in the Sonoma area and California Ballroom was the most affordable at $65/session. My husband and I needed help choreographing our first dance. Emily McAuliffe was great! Both me and my husband had zero ballroom training and Emily introduced the foxtrot to us in a way that was stress-free and fun. Even my uncooperative husband enjoyed the sessions! Emily taught us the swing at the second lesson and the ending (the drop!) at the third and last one. Our wedding guests enjoyed our performance! We're so grateful to Emily and we are thinking of coming back for group lessons.
