Hello! I am Liliya. I have been taking private dance lessons with John Howardson Dance for about 2 years in Latin dancing, Standard dancing, and Salsa. John is a top teacher. He is always very professional, patient, and hardworking with his students. He always makes his students improve and feel happy and have fun. I can definitely say that during this time, I had a great experience. I think that John understands people’s inner world and teaches them the way they need to learn to get better and better and enjoy dancing. I can recommend John without hesitation to any dance student.

My name is Ivorie. I have been taking private dance lessons with John Howardson Dance for about 1 year. I learned many different dances during this time. My favorites are Rumba, Salsa, and Samba. John is a great teacher. He taught me everything from the basics on upward. I learned good hip movement, arm and hand expressions, lady’s styling, and lots of cool steps. I really enjoy my classes with John. I would like to recommend John to any dance student that asked because he is always professional, patient, and able to answer any question.

My name is Sue. I started dance lessons with John Howardson taking a 5 private dance lesson dance package to dust off my dancing shoes for a friend’s wedding. I felt very awkward back then because I was a beginner, but John was so encouraging and patient that I kept him as my dance teacher twice per week. In the lessons, I bring a desire to learn and he brings his joy of music and dance, plus exceptional knowledge, skill, and talent. What a team! Making your dance soul smile. Priceless !

My name is Chelsea. My opinion of John Howardson when I first met him was that he is charismatic and friendly. Now that I have been taking private dance lessons with John, I would definitely say that he is very kind, patient, understanding, and generous in many ways. I am very glad to be learning dancing with John. He is always encouraging and never lets his students give up. ‘Frustrate’ is not in his dictionary. I would strongly recommend John to any dance student, absolutely.

We are Ian and Maureen. We have been married for about 30 years now and have always said that one day we should learn to dance. Well 2 1/2 years ago, we finally took action and signed up for private dance lessons with John Howardson Dance. It was one of the best decisions we ever made. It has added a whole new dimension to our marriage and provided us with a new passion and a new form of excercise. It doesn’t really seem like excercise because we have so much FUN doing it, thanks to John and his great teaching style.

We are Bill and Carol. We have been taking private dance lessons with John Howardson for a couple of years now. I (Bill) have always felt that I do not have a natural aptitude for dancing although I like it very much. I feel that my wife catches on to it much easier than I do. However, with John’s patience and encouragement, we kept at it and I’m glad we did. Now I feel that I am able to do several dance types far better than I had ever considered possible. My wife and I can recommend John Howardson as an excellent teacher to anyone of any age from beginner on upward.
