I highly recommend Born to Boogie! I discovered it during the pandemic and attended 2 online courses with Lucy. Lucy is such a wonderful, energetic, kind teacher! Lucy's choreographies are fun, easy enough to follow and I never finish a class without a smile stuck on my face. Addicted to Lucy's classes keeping me mentally and physically healthy! Thank you :-)

Virtual dancing was so much fun. I learnt the dance with my 15 year old daughter and NO one could see me! I was happy about not being seen and my daughter was happy about not being seen with me. WIN, WIN!

I have taken part in 2 Semesters of Born To Boogie. Unfortunately due to an accident I was unable to perform the second semestr last year. My teacher Megan makes everyone feel they are contributing in their own way. 2019 was the year for me to break out of my comfort zone and I have definitely done that with Born to Boogie. Tennille is so easy to talk to and she makes herself available to answer any questions. I am 55 years old and certainly don't have a dancers body but that does come into it it at Born to Boogie. It is so you can have fun and learn dance routines along the way. I look forward
