"I'm glad I signed up with your studio to continue my lessons. You, Dave, Ray and Judit make it a great experience. Thanks for all your hard work and sharing your passion. I appreciate all you do and your dedication." -- Mary Ann Rees, Manchester, NH

"We have now tried group classes or private lessons at four different studios. The other three are much closer to home than Paper Moon, but we have found your classes are worth the drive. Your teaching style meshes wonderfully with our learning styles. Your analogies not only make us laugh but get your point across in a creative way. You are very good at explaining everything in at least two different ways so that if we missed it one way, we have another chance to grasp it. We also like the constant positive reinforcement that you give." --Dan Allegretti & Judit Noyes, Bow, NH

Over the years I've had many dance instructors, and I would have to sincerely say that Maria is the best to learn from. Her methods maximize the learning experience and her personality makes it all fun and enjoyable. She has always been willing to go the extra mile to ensure each student practices and learns the steps needed to feel comfortable on the dance floor. I believe I've learned more in the last 6 months at Papermoon than I have in the last 3 years! -- John Holt, Merrimack, NH

"I wanted to thank you for the wonderful weekend. John and I learned more about dancing in two days [at Paper Moon] than we did in a month with [another local studio]. The whole experience was positive and fun." --Tammy Crooks & John, Merrimack

"Thanks for wanting to keep me challenged…you are doing a great job of that. These lessons have been very helpful. You are giving me a good mix of new steps and technique. And I’m having a lot of fun!” –Rich Young, Bedford, NH

I’ve personally known Maria for several years while she taught for our studio working with children and adults. In that amount of time I received many compliments not only on her excellence of teaching but her fantastic personality. She truly has changed people’s lives through her instruction of ballroom dance.” --Lynn Makiej, President, DNE School of Dance, Inc.
