What our families say...

"Sally, we love your class.  Not only is Chloe happy and learning so much, but also our nanny Beth!  Chloe
knows so many dance actions and Spanish words for a 15 month old that we know is a direct result of your
class.  Thanks for keeping the classes invigorating and fresh.  Every Thursday I tell Chloe that today she
and Beth are going to see Sally for Spanish dancing ... she charges for the door all smiles (and half
dressed) and shouts "let's go"."

Bailemos 1,2,3

"Hi Sally,  I just wanted to thank you for your wonderful classes.  My daughter is enrolled in 4-5 classes
a week and Bailemos 1,2,3 is by far her favorite to attend.  Wheels on the bus in Spanish is very popular
in our home now, as well as she knows her body parts in Spanish.  Keep up the fantastic classes.  We love
them!"

"Barefoot Boogie was fantastic for my 15-month old daughter. She is already a gregarious, outgoing child.
However, when she started the class she also started dancing, moving to all rhythms, even ones that to
you and I don't sound very rhythmic! She loves to get up when watching her educational music tapes and
move to the beat. Sometimes she will just hear a radio blaring from a car on the street and in the
stroller start moving her shoulders. She loves all music and has a deep appreciation for it.   I am positive
it was due to her Boogie class, where she was introduced to all kinds of fun, interesting music.   She even
mimics what she learns at home, because she seems to genuinely love what she is learning and participates
in. Thanks Sally for a great learning and enjoyable experience for my little girl!"

"I’m amazed by how much my 2-year old daughter has learned from Bailemos 1,2,3. I originally signed her
up because the class sounded like a change of pace from her usual routine, but I really did not expect her
to learn Spanish. After the first class, she demonstrated her new dance moves. And a few classes later,
she was able to count in Spanish.

We’re both so thrilled with what she’s learned that it’s become incorporated into our daily routine –
including salsa dancing before dinner and counting in Spanish when she’s having her hair washed. As an
added bonus, the music cd’s that come with the class have helped make car trips seems shorter. And if all
that weren’t enough, Sally is a wonderful teacher who really gets to know her students.”

"My two-year-old son has been taking Bailemos 1,2,3 for six months now. He's usually shy about
interacting and "performing" in group settings, but he has thrived in this class, thanks in large part to
Sally's warmth, energy and attention. The music is lively and fun, and the CDs that come with it have
become staples in our rotation. I originally signed up for the class because I figured it was a good way to
gradually introduce him to a second language, but didn't expect him to pick it up so quickly. After a few
weeks, he could count in Spanish, and can now name most of his favorite animals in espanol. We sing rounds
of "Brilla Brilla Estrellita" (with the hand motions we learned in Sally's class) every night before bed. And
we've both learned some fun new dance moves. I highly recommend Bailemos 1,2,3!"

"We have a 3 year old and a 4.5 year old taking a class together.  Our 4 year old was able to amaze her
Argentinian grandfather with the tango she learned in "Sally" class.  The 3 year old really enjoys shaking
the "huevitos" to a cha-cha beat and banging the sticks to the beat of Dora's version of "Oye Como Va".  
They look forward to "Sally" class all week long."
