Testimonials

 

 

YTE taught me what it means to be a professional... I learned how  to conduct myself in a professional manner, and how to think on my feet (literally), which are all skills that go beyond the dance floor.

-Janet Manthey

I had the time of my life. We were given performing opportunites that would never have happened otherwise. I also see the benefits of it after I graduated high school; I have been asked to perform in shows with professionals. It was a great experience!

- Beth Novak

I would like to let Ellen and Cathy Wind know that the tap group that I started down here at Luther performed for the first time on Saturday night with the Jazz Orchestra here, and it was absolutely incredible. We just did the shim sham, but everyone loved it!! And it was the greatest feeling ever! So thank you for the billions of hours you spent teaching me to tap :)

-Katie Wicklund

YTE is a fantastic way to spend a Sunday afternoon. It is fun to be with people who want to dance for the joy of it!

-Lindsay Salhus
