"I've been with Mandy for four years and counting. Not only are her lessons a ton of fun, but for expertise, skill, teaching ability, and attention to detail she's right up there with the best of them. She trained extensively in the UK, where she has competed at the highest levels, coached by some of the most famous names in the business. In the South Okanagan she's the one to beat, by a dance floor mile. If you want to learn proper technique - which will make you look and feel fantastic - Mandy's the way to go."
— Werner M.

"I have been taking dance with Mandy since spring 2023…and I love it! She is a wonderful, passionate, positive instructor and a lovely person. I feel like I have also met a sisterhood of fellow dancers…apparently you are never too old to start."
— Sandra R.

"I had the pleasure of taking salsa and bachata classes with Mandy and really enjoyed the experience. I completed all of her available beginner and intermediate salsa classes, and it was a great journey from learning the basics to becoming much more comfortable on the dance floor. One thing I really appreciated was how technical Mandy was in her teaching. That's exactly the style of learning that works best for me. She took the time to explain the details and mechanics behind the movements, which really helped me understand what I was doing and why. The classes were also an excellent and genuinely fun workout. I'm really glad I decided to give salsa and bachata a try, and I'd definitely recommend Mandy's Dance to anyone looking to learn while getting some exercise and having fun."
— Nick Y.

"Mandy is so fun and a great dance teacher. I've been taking her classes for a few years now in Penticton for mostly ballroom and latin dance classes. We are so lucky to have her! You can tell she has a passion for what she does."
— Julie-Ann H.

"Mandy is a true joy to be around. Her infectious enthusiasm is contagious! You just can't help but try and now my husband and I don't feel completely useless on the dance floor."
— Lori N.

"Mandy classes are a great combination of learning, exercise and comraderie. I appreciate learning the basics and then the refinements as we go along in the program. great music - the kind that you would listen to at home including dome with that Latin energy, some modern hits and a few classics."
— Colleen P.

"Mandy is a beacon of light. I have taken lessons with her for 10 years and have nothing but the best to report. Her dance knowledge and manner of teaching are outstanding, her energy and way of being uplifting, and she truly cares about her students. I have learned so much under her tutelage and it has simply felt like breathing fresh air. Whether for the serious, committed dancer or the one-time dance adventurer, Mandy is the best. I would not hesitate--in fact, quite the opposite, I rush--to recommend Mandy as a phenomenal and professional teacher."
— Arkady S.
