Our wedding was in May, and although life got busy afterward, I didn't want too much time to pass without leaving a review because we had such a wonderful experience. We absolutely loved working with our dance instructor! She was patient, encouraging, and did an amazing job explaining everything in a way that made us feel comfortable and confident. We actually looked forward to our lessons every week, and thanks to her, we felt so much more prepared for our first dance on our wedding day. She made the entire experience fun and enjoyable, and we truly couldn't have asked for a better instructor. We highly recommend her to any couple preparing for their wedding!

About Bonnie, The Dance Whisperer
Now Offering HOLIDAY GIFT CARDS! Hi my name is Bonnie, The Dance Whisperer! I specialize in social dancing. I am able to teach ANYONE how to lead or follow in any given social dance situation. I guarantee I will get you dancing! I will help you look and feel like the dancer you would like to be. I make it easy and fun and I teach every dance style under the sun! I have over 12 years of experience and I know I can tailor a learning program specific to you and your needs. If you don't have a partner that's ok! You don't need a partner to learn how to dance. I teach singles, couples, and groups. Two left feet, you say? Well, I know how to make them two right feet. Let me make the process of learning to dance quick and painless for you. Even the most stubborn skeptics walk out of my lessons smiling and feeling good about themselves. I'm both a dance instructor and choreographer. I prepare students for social dancing at Dancehalls, vacations, special events, and weddings. I help my students be completely prepped for their First Dance, Parent Dances, and being able to social dance at the reception. Speaking to the happy wedding couples: Your first dance is an important moment for you. Not only is it a traditional symbol of taking your first steps in life together, but it's something you perform in front of all the special people who have supported your love. Unlike the cake, flowers, limo, and decorations, learning to dance with your life partner is an Investment. The steps you learn for your first dance will be something that you can continue to use throughout your lives. Let me make learning to dance together as fun and easy as possible for you. In addition to Social and Ballroom dance instruction, I teach Dance Therapy and Mind/Body Connection Therapy. This form of therapy can be used in many ways, but there are two ways I'd like to mention. The first way would be to use it as a talk therapy alternative. Through Movement and Dance Therapy, you will be able to heal yourself from anxiety, depression, suicidal thoughts, eating disorders and other mental and emotional perplexities. It is through movement that we are often able to express and "say" with our bodies the things we cannot verbalize or express through other means. The second way Movement and Dance Therapy is used, is as a physical therapy aid. Dance is a great way to help keep your mind and body young and active. I have had many physically disabled students come to me as a way to increase flexibility, balance, physical stamina, agility, circulation and even to battle against memory loss. Through movement therapy you will be able to make quick and lasting strides in your overall physical and mental health and well being. I make sure that I tailor a program to your exact wants and individual needs.

Bonnie was great, we are excited to continue lessons with her!
We went for a date night dancing class and it was fabulous would definitely do it again! Bonnie is awesome!
Great teacher in every way and fun to practice with, thanks so much for your help
I studied modern dance in college and spent years taking ballroom and Latin lessons. I learned more from Bonnie in 10 lessons, than I ever did in all those years training with ballroom coaches! She is truly gifted! My husband and I got so many compliments at our wedding! We went out there feeling confident and had a blast!
Very respectful and perceptive. Took time to explain and moved at our pace.
Bonnie has been nothing short of amazing to work with. I highly recommend her to anyone!
Bonnie was the absolute best! As a couple looking for just a 2 hour cram session for our wedding first dance, Bonnie could not have been better. She taught us both the basics, and specific moves to our song. Had so much fun & would highly recommend.
Best instructor I’ve ever had, very intuitive and knowledgeable. You won’t find anyone better.
We hired Bonnie to help my husband learn to dance for our daughter’s wedding. He had never danced previously. He was very nervous and not really keen on the idea but knew it was important to her. Bonnie was so patient and kind and broke every step into a visual picture that was relatable to him. We cannot express the amount of appreciation we have for her lessons. He confidently spun his daughter on the dance floor and while not every step went off with perfection he knew how to keep moving and smiling! Beautiful memories (and photos) were made.
Bonnie is truly amazing! I regret not booking her earlier in our wedding planning process. As self-proclaimed uncoordinated individuals, my husband and I were quite anxious about our first dance. However, after just one session with Bonnie, in her beautiful studio, she worked her magic, making us feel confident and graceful. We wished we had more time for additional lessons because the experience was incredibly enjoyable for both of us and I think she could’ve helped us even more. Highly recommended!
My fiancé and I are having a blast learning our wedding dance with Bonnie! She is such a pleasure to work with and we are so excited to have a fun first dance that we both feel confident about:)
I unfortunately did not get to use Bonnie. But what was so important to me is at the last minute I realized I was going to have to do a dance with my son and she was going to fit me in with one day notice a few times to prepare. I thought that was extremely considerate and wanted to show my appreciation by writing this about her. I appreciate your thoughtfulness to help me so quickly. Heather
We were preparing for our son’s wedding. Bonnie took us (well mostly me, my wife already had rhythm) from clueless novices to confident dancers. She was incredibly patient with us and had many tricks up her sleeve to help us learn. We plan to continue working with her even though the wedding is over. By the way, we looked great on the dance floor.
Amazing. The Best. An icon. Bonnie and I started working together when I decided to enter into my first pageant. I needed a talent, and decided I would love to do a dance, but the problem is I don’t have any dance experience. Bonnie said “say no more” and custom tailored a choreography based on what I envisioned and the way my body naturally moved and explained every sequence to me in a way I could understand, using vivid imagery I could remember. She helped me come out of my shell and express myself fully through dance. I went on to compete nationally in Washington DC and placed in the Top 5! I owe my success to Bonnie. She has allowed me to grow in my self confidence not only in dance but in life! I recommend Bonnie to anyone and everyone: she will transform you! Thank you so much Bonnie! I couldn’t have done it without your expertise!
BONNIE IS AMAZING. She took our dance and took it to the next level. We practiced with Bonnie for our first dance at our wedding. She took our song and added flare, sass, playful flirting, romance, and sex appeal!! We were told our first dance was the best anyone has ever seen. While people have to say that, its true. Our first dance was so special and kept everyone on their toes to see what we would do next. I am hoping I can post a video of our dance here once I get the video back! A highlight video can be seen at this link (scroll to the reception to see some images of our dance). https://vimeo.com/573175122
Bonnie was awesome! My son and I took lessons to get us ready for our mother son dance next March. We had a very limited window of time while my son was in town, but Bonnie made it work. We both feel more confident now to pull off a dance and look like we know what we are doing. Thanks so much Bonnie! Also really appreciate you including my husband and future daughter-in-law in the lesson too. That will definitely help with the practice we need to do. :)
I found Bonnie because I wanted to balance my 1st and 2nd Chakra. I didn’t have any expectations, I just wanted to dance. In our first session, I shared my reasons for wanting to dance and Bonnie smiled and we just started dancing. Let me tell you, Bonnie has a way of making you feel 100% comfortable. That 1st session just flew by because I was having so much fun. In our 2nd session, we danced to one of my favorite songs called “Becoming One” from the Avatar soundtrack. This experience unlocked my inner child and all kinds of creative ideas started flowing out of me. I finally gained the courage to go all in. I bought 15 sessions at a fantastic price and began our dance journey. Bonnie taught me Flamenco dancing using a Spanish Fan and Belly Dancing using a Veil. Both fulfilled me in such a way that I performed both dances on my husbands YouTube and Facebook Live channels. Everyone is still talking about how creative and beautiful my choreography was. The whole experience with Bonnie has dissipated my fears and gave me the confidence I needed for trying new things and seeking new opportunities in all aspects of life. Bonnie is truly “The Dance Whisperer”.
Bonnie is amazing! We look forward to our weekly dance lessons. We came in with no experience and we feel confident we are going to wow the crowd at our wedding! In addition, we will be able to take the skills learned to go beyond the choreography to just dance on date night.
Bonnie was wonderful. She’s professional, kind, and enjoyable to work with. My fiancé and I came in for a crash course before our wedding and after just 90 minutes together (two back to back lessons) we felt so much more confident and knowledgeable. Bonnie was also super responsive and communicative - I would absolutely recommend her. (I’ve included a picture of her working on a step with my fiancé. 🙂)
