Comment:

I took ballroom dance 1 from Catherine and loved it! I plan to take ball 2 and 3 as well. She was encouraging and funny, and my class made huge improvements in our dance abilities. One two-page paper and a few outside of class dances, but otherwise show up and you pass. Have fun!

I absolutely love Cathy! Shes a wonderful instructor and will go out of her way to make sure you succeed. Her class is very easy, but also super fun- I went from never having danced at all to being pretty good! I always look forward to her class, and will definitely be taking country 3 in the spring!

I have taken 2 terms of Country Western from Cathy, and loved every part of it. As long as you show up, you can go from an uncoordinated mess (like me) to an actually good dancer. I have definitely recommended her to multiple friend, who have also loved her.

Comment:

She is a great teacher! I learned a lot in her class. I had to miss a few days due to sports and she completely helped me out to get an A in the course since I didn't S/U. She's good about rotating partners and going over things more than once. Overall, great experience!

Comment:

Cathy is a great dance teacher. She likes to make sure her students are having fun. The only thing to say is that she doesn't spend much time on actual technique. She teaches mostly footwork and moves. It was a lot of fun and a great way to relax for credit!

I have taken nearly every class Cathy teaches, and I love her to death. It is always good to learn from other instructors but I keep coming back for more with Cathy.

Great teacher with lots of enthusiasm! Went a little slow for my taste, but some of the other students definitely needed it. Would recommend for everyone.

Cathy Dark is a touch of class. Don't go expecting to have the same partner for the entire affair. And do yourself a favor, start learning classmates' names early.

Great for teaching you a bunch of moves. It helps to have some other instruction on posture and stuff, but the class is fabulous! A ton of fun and she lets you do a lot really early on:)

She is quite cheerful and is a good instructor for beginning classes. I have taken her Country western classes, which seem to be her specialty. Her ballroom class was okay.
