    Kate is 100% on the mark about her advice. My wife and I went to Arthur Murray Cranford in preparation for our big day. We were so busy with planning that we didn’t take time to be with each other. Our time on the dance floor was our hour to stop, connect, and fall in love all over again. Thanks to Kate (and Chris!) we looked like professionals on the dance floor on our big day!!!! Kate has a way about her that makes you think you are just hanging out with a friend and before you know what’s happening you are gliding around the dance floor!!!
