JoAnne Latta - Cary, NC
“I have only been training in ballroom for 5 months with the Cary Arthur Murray in Cary, NC, but have had the pleasure of participating at your 2011 Vegas event and the NC Classic in Charlotte. I just wanted to thank you for making everyone feel right at home at each of these events. It made it so much easier to calm the nerves, have a great time and just perform. I have a lot to learn yet and miles to go, and these events were such a great n experience for me. I look forward to many more of your fabulous events! Thanks for all of your hard work.
Robert Cutler - CEO, Creative Consumer Concepts
“Andrew –
Thank you so much for a wonderful event. As a first time ballroom event participant I was enormously pleased to find the entire experience more than I had expected.
As a professional brand marketing executive I have come to develop a critical eye when it comes to that thing called life and as a customer my brand standards tend to be highly critical.
You event was an A by any standard. More important to the entire experience was the fellowship the two of your have established as the bedrock of the entire experience.
Your finger prints were all over the entire event and I am so appreciative to have had the chance to participate.
.”
Eddie - Atlanta, GA

Nancy Gerson - Fl Myers, FL
"Thanks to Andrew and you, Anna, for the best day of dancing yesterday and the most fun ever waiting for a room. Your warmth and enthusiasm make us all feel so welcome. You guys are the greatest!"
