Reviews
5/5! I hired Devin for an idea I had for my 36th birthday party, and she was amazing! I had a group of good friends and their kids- 13 of us, kids ranging from about ages 6–10, and I wanted to do a dance lesson- partly to learn some couples dancing skills and then also to learn and perform a viral TikTok dance. Devin was fantastic with everyone. We had adults and kids of all different ages and skill levels, including four very energetic 10-year-old boys who were, as always, bouncing off the walls. 😂 She somehow kept everyone involved and having fun. We laughed a lot. She called me when I hired her to talk out my idea and also showed up early to the rec center room I had rented and already had music going and everything set up when we arrived, which was such a pleasant surprise. She came completely prepared for my random birthday idea and even had some fun icebreakers and activities ready to go. Devin was truly awesome to work with, had such a great attitude with doing something new, and made the whole thing easy and fun. I would absolutely hire her again, whether it was for kids, adults, or a mix of both. Highly recommend!
Devon was Amazing! She did a belly dance for a family members 80th birthday. Everyone loved it! Very quick to respond.
She was remarkable! We plan to hire her again.
Devon was incredible. I believe mind blowing is what my guests said. Devon was an unbelievably exciting addition to my party that had everyone involved and in awe. Besides stunning, Devon moved in ways I didn't know the body could. The communication prior was amazing, the coordination was flawless and her professionalism was 200%.
