| Bonnie, I really miss your classes. Quite candidly, was so impressed with your teaching style and dedication to your students that I haven't found an instructor I like. I can't stop comparing them to you. I miss your classes and hope that you continue to keep dancing. - D. Hopiak, Plant City |
| Since beginning Dance Competitions a decade ago under the coaching of Bonnie Gray, I have consistently won top scores and rave comments on my training, presentation and choreography- as well as notes in appreciation of the "professional" ingredients included in my performances... at both the Regional and National levels. Because of her confidence in me, I went from a student who rarely performed to someone who truly enjoys entertaining others.I am often asked to perform for local events, through Bonnie or other companies, and I always receive compliments and positive reactions from the cast, producers and audience. These are things I attribute to the talents of Bonnie Gray, an experienced teacher,and talented choreographer, as well as a talented working professional. One who has a way of "packaging" each of her dancers to their very best advantage. She was recommended to me when I was actively looking for the best in Pinellas County tap dance teachers, and I have been studying tap dancing, jazz dancing, and performance skills with her for nearly 20 years. Because of her encouragement, I have had a wonderful experience I might otherwise have missed. I encourage everyone - of ANY age, to take up the joy of dancing, t enriches my life, and it keeps me young. MISS BONNIE ROCKS! - Claudia Richartz, Clearwater, FL award-winning competitive dancer |
GREAT NEWS! Memorizing dance steps can boost your brainpower. Research confirms the brain-boosting link: THOSE WHO DANCE TWICE A WEEK REDUCE THEIR RISK OF DEMENTIA BY 76% compared with people who don't. - New England Journal of Medicine. |
STUDENT REVIEWS! Bonnie is a terrific teacher with unbelievable talent! I enjoy both tap & jazz classes. It's great exercise and lots of fun for adults only. Never having taken dance classes as a child, I'm so excited to be learning at my age. I'm thankful to have a place to go where I can learn without feeling embarrassed. My thanks to Bonnie for providing this opportunity. Bonnie's adult only tap classes are one of my favorite times of the week. She is patient and caring, yet knows just when to challenge her students with a new step or tap drill. I walk away feeling successful after every class. Bonnie allows us to have fun and learn tap dancing at the same time. I have made some wonderful friends through tap dancing lessons with Bonnie. Bonnie is also a good coach. Bonnie makes sure we are as well prepared as possible for the times we have decided to perform in competitions. I highly recommend Bonnie for anyone at any level of tap dancing skill. Great, great fun. Bonnie's adult dance classes are the best and she is a great teacher. Not just her skill but her genuine love of what she does shines through, her enthusiasm is contagious. I have been taking her tap class for almost a year now and really enjoy it, I look forward to Tuesday! Bonnie is an excellent dance teacher. I have thoroughly enjoyed her tap class. She exhibits patience and caring for her students, making everyone feel comfortable. The class is an all-adult class that I joined one year ago. Not only is it great exercise, it is a lot of FUN! Bonnie Gray has an amazing talent for combining professionalism with an atmosphere of lighthearted fun. With adult only classes of all levels ranging from beginning through advanced and beyond, any student can find a class where he/she will be comfortable. In addition to learning and improving dance skills, participating in Bonnie's classes offers the opportunity to meet new people and make new friends. Dance day is the one day of the week where I can be sure to end the day smiling. Bonnie is a wonderful instructor - I have been one of her students for a little over a year. I am one of her Senior Dancers ( that is senior as in age) and have learned more from Bonnie than any other instructor I have had in the past 7 years. Bonnie is one of the most talented individuals I have ever met. I would love to see more "seniors" sign up for lessons - tap or jazz - what ever your thing might be. Come on out this fall and lets move our bodies! |
