“For our wedding, I was determined to do more than sway awkwardly back and forth like in grade 8. Thank you Jonathon. Thank you for being so relaxed, so approachable, so fun. For finding multiple ways to teach the same concept – helping me wrap my brain around it all. For making us comfortable leading up to the big day. For changing how I had always seen myself (two left feet, completely unable to dance). I was more than satisfied – thrilled – with just those simple starting moves. Thank you for believing in us – that we could go farther – learn those progressively more challenging but super fun moves. You made us look like pros! Beyond the looks, you helped us feel the dance and ENJOY the moment. Our dance felt SO magical! I cannot emphasize enough how much we wowed our guests! Thank you!” – Cheyenne and Tim
“Thank you again for teaching our awkward feet how to move. We had so much fun, and we will treasure the memories of our wedding dance for years.” – Cassie & Kyle Horan

All reviews from the Living Arts Centre:
- The instructor was great! Jonathon is the best. He makes dancing simple and easy and fun!
- Friendly non-competitive environment. Really liked the instructor.
- Jonathon the instructor was very knowledgeable and taught us as per our social needs. We prefer the main instructor rather than the fill-in. He made it a lot of fun for us.
- Jonathon was patient, pleasant and fun
- Learned steps to ballroom dances with a very dedicated instructor who did not give up easily on his students’ lack of talent!!
- jonathan was a great instructor. This is a fun class and the instructor deserves all the credit.
- Keep Jonathon for this course he is amazing.
- Keep Jonathon as the main ballroom dance instructor.
- Excellent! Wish there was supplemental reference material, eg: reference to videos
- Really enjoyed jonathon’s class. He made the course fun while getting us to learn challenging steps. Would recommend this class to anyone wanting to learn ballroom dancing.
- Please do not have any substitute instructors for this course. Thank you!
- (* Perhaps some of those comments should have this context: I was away one week – dancing in Montreal. The substitute teacher competed internationally for many years and has owned a studio for twenty. After the comment about videos I began inviting people to film the class summary.)
