Claire is an amazing lady, and although all dance teachers are great, Claire does so much for all her pupils, and always goes a step further.

Our boys mentorship program been getting together for the last 3 years. They meet once a month and practice their dances all while having fun. They are mentored by 3 older boys and all love it.  Here they are a few weeks back with Tony Cargill, 4 time world champion. What an experience. The boys got to ask Tony questions and even had a practice session. The person that made the program a success is Jennifer Lange. She is wonderful and very supportive! Winnipeg, Canada
