I have been taking Kizomba classes with Elyse for about a year and I could not recommend her more! Not only is she very skilled in her craft but she’s an amazing teacher. She always makes you feel welcome and she’s very encouraging even when you are sometimes disappointed in yourself! she’s very hard-working and balancing a full-time job with kids and dancing instruction. On top of that, she organizes social events all the time that her students can attend so they can practice. And always with a smile on her face! An amazing instructor, but a truly exceptional human being.
