CLIENT TESTIMONIALS
Jerry and Laura
“I just really can't say enough how great our experience has been.
He's always game for whatever you bring in each session I think is really different, which is something I really appreciated about the coaching with them.
Imaan is just amazing, incredibly supportive. We’ve had fun. We’ve learned a lot.
It just feels really nice to know that someone is in your corner.”
Akhil
“If I were to rate him (Partner Dance Coach) on the level of his technical abilities, I would give him a 10 on 10, but it's not his technical abilities that bring me to the coaching session every day.
It's his humanity and his friendship and his comfort and care for my well being, not just as a dancer.
But as a human being, as other aspects of my life, he's trying to instill both a mindset change while giving me the technique in these sessions.
It's one of the best things that I could have done for my dancing.
Imaan has been a really good friend and mentor in my dancing for the last year.
That's the kind of trust I want from an instructor in my life where, you know, they believe in you and Imaan does.”
Erica
“I really love the 24/7 WhatsApp (virtual) Support. The biggest thing I use it for, and this is how I can tell you it is so worth your money and that Imaan means it when he says you can contact him as much as you want is I pretty much do Zouk journaling to Imaan and then he responds.
So I will send him like my 10 page manifesto of 'these are my anxieties about what we're doing right now' or 'this is how I'm feeling about, you know, this weekend we had and what these trudge up in me.'
I do feel sorry for him because I sent him quite a lot of information about, you know what I'm thinking and feeling and he always gets back within a day.
The amount of growth I've seen in my dance, the amount of support I've gotten, the amount of the journey of self discovery that I've gotten to undergo has been amazing.
I've recommended it to multiple people already.”
Halah
“I would recommend this to a friend for many reasons.
First of all, you have a structured way to advance your dancing.
There's also the emotional aspect of it because I find like dancing or learning something new is there's a lot of like vulnerability in that and there's a lot of moments where you can give yourself a hard time about not learning anything and having someone who's experienced and went through all of that is very emotionally helpful.”
