```The Power of Consistent Movement
Dance Program and Membership Testimonials
"Hello, my name is Jim and I'm a 75-year-old tapper. I started about 5 years ago, having never tapped before in my life.
AbunDANCE has been very helpful in my dance journey.
Ashley is such a wonderful teacher, choreographer, and dancer, who is always upbeat and supportive of all her students. Her presentations and routines are challenging but enjoyable. Additionally and importantly, she truly wants people to not only have a better dance experience, but a better life experience as well. She's the best!"
– Jim Ginter
"I am so grateful for this program. I've been wanting to tap dance for a few months now. It's been on my mind a lot. I struggle with my mental health, so getting to in-person classes regularly is tough.
Plus, I live in a really small town where there just aren’t many adult dance options available.
So I was really excited. It’s honestly helping my mental health a lot just to be dancing again. I love it. I’m doing it as often as I can, and right now, since I’m going through a harder time, I’m dancing even more. And honestly, if dance is my coping mechanism, I think I’m doing okay. Thank you for all of it."
– Elizabeth
"It’s been 3 weeks and I’m working on improving my speed with the steps from week 3. I’ve also completed the step by step library up to the drawbacks.
I take classes in person but this is my first year dancing.
With your practice I feel like I’m gaining enough confidence to dance in the Spring recital for 2025. Thank you!"
– Sherie Anderson
