TESTIMONIALS
Hi Jim, Sept, 2007
I didn't get a chance the other night to thank you for all your help with
improving my dancing. I feel like I'm doing a lot better. I'm now getting
asked to dance by more advanced dancers and I'm being told that I am a good
follow, especially for only having danced for less than three months. I'm
always sure to tell people that you've helped a lot and recommend your
classes, and I hear good feedback from people in the salsa community about
you. Most importantly I'm having some of the most fun I've had in a long
time. All your feedback and tips have made a big difference. I hope to
continue getting better. I'll let you know when I can start taking private
lessons again.
Thanks,
Sara

Hi Jim,
Fun class last night! You are a really excellent teacher and give really good corrections and adjustments and have such a fun and passionate style!
It's great! As a former dancer and having taught one form of movement practice or another for 20-plus years, when I say you're an excellent teacher, I actually have a wide and deep repertoire of experience to base that on. I'm really enjoying your teaching!
Enjoy this beautiful day!

Hi Jim,
You Katie and Myste have done an excellent job, and I have been very
impressed with the number of sessions we have been able to offer. Even though we have
had some ups and downs, I have enjoyed working with you, and I hope there may
be a possibility of holding some more classes in the Fall or early next year.

Jim,
I know that missing a class will put me a good deal behind, so I most
likely will need to think about registering for a future classes. Thank you for
being such a great teacher!

Hi Jim,
Thanks for the email, and thank you so much for the opportunity to take part
in your dance class on Sunday. I learned alot, and had so much fun! You are
not only an amazing dancer, but a great teacher as well.

Hi Jim,
Elizabeth and I just wanted to mention that we really enjoyed your teaching
partner this past Sunday the 15th. We felt she really had a lot to offer in
terms of clarity and vocality in teaching style. She made some choice
corrections in our dancing, helping to simplify the process for us. We continue to
enjoy your class. Thank you!
To your continued success,
Nate
Hey Jim,
I just got your email. You probably don't remember me among all the hundreds
of faces of students, but I was in a couple of your beginning salsa classes
(brown hair, friend of Peter von Dassow's). I just wanted to thank you for
introducing me to salsa! Your classes were so much fun and I really enjoyed the
chance to learn the dance and get enough confidence to go out and do it.
In a
few weeks, I have to leave Seattle and move to the Midwest, so I just wanted
to take the chance to thank you for one of the many things I really enjoyed
during the one short year I got to live here!
Good luck in the new studio!
All the best,
Marion Brodhagen

Hi Jim,
Hope you’re having a good start to the week. Thank you for putting together the dinner and dancing last night. I have truly enjoyed your classes and having the opportunity to socialize, get to know our fellow dancers and practice what we’ve learned was so great. There is one downside, though - with this new passion of mine, I’m finding that work comes way too early the next morning – but it is soooooooo worth it!!
Thanks for what you do!

Hi Jim,
I’m a little late in sending this but want you to know how much I appreciated Sunday night! Thank you so much for the fun, fun evening - I just loved it.
Two summers ago I had a serious bike (road bike) accident in which an SUV & I hit head-on….not pretty As a result of the accident I broke my right knee, tore the ligaments and tendons in my left knee requiring surgery, broke my right thumb, broke several bones in my left hand and had a serious head trauma. I was at Harborview over a week and was in a wheel chair for over 3 months. It took over a year+ to get stable walking and almost 1-1/2 years to get my memory back. I mention this because biking was my passion…I was scared loosing my passion. This past year has been tough with regards to what going forward looks like. Back in November I was introduced to Salsa and then started taking your classes in January. Your classes have helped me in so many ways…I’ve been able to work on my coordination, they have helped my mind and it fills up a huge void of time left empty without biking.
I only mention this because I am so very grateful for what you do…I truly appreciate your classes, your teaching style and especially the detail you give us. I have learned so much from you in a short amount of time. You’ve allowed me to gain a new “passion” and for that I can’t thank you enough!
Keep up the great work.
