Slawek & Marzena’s first series of lessons for pro-am is exceptionally comprehensive, logically structured, clearly articulated, and beautifully demonstrated. It helped me to better organize countless bits of information that were floating rather randomly in my brain
Carole Lyn WoodringThank you Marzena and Slawek for recording these lessons. For a SLOW learner like me, these lessons are a great refresher, review, and extension of what I learned in our lessons. (…) Strongly recommended for students, teachers, and dancers interested in smooth.
Irene FongMy partner and I absolutely love the Perfect Practice lesson. It’s dramatically changed how we approach our time together. Often it’s difficult to find information for how best to spend those moments between coaching and we feel this approach has helped us spend more time on the joy of dancing and less on the woes. Thank you again!
Christan KjoseI absolutely love love love this program! So much useful information in a wonderfully organized format. The pearls shared by two champions Slawek and Marzena are invaluable. The ability to go back over any area that needed review is a game changer. My biggest regret is not having bought this sooner. It’s definitely worth more than the price of admission!
