July 25, 2012 "Thank you so much for making our lessons so enjoyable. You are a fantastic teacher!! My fiance and I know that you have crafted a dance specifically for our song and didn't just teach a couple of generic moves. Both of our parents (whom you taught also during one of the lessons) had a great time. Thnak you so much! All the best, Danielle Business degrees, employees on Wall Street. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
March 28, 2011 "Being a
movement
instructor myself I've meet many people in the
movement world who call themselves master teachers. Tracy Everitt is
truly one of the few master teachers in the dance world. He
is the type of teacher you feel privileged to study with and hope to
work with for a lifetime. You'd expect a huge ego to match
his expertise, but rather you'll find Tracey as a super down to earth
guy who makes his students feel at ease with their learning pace.
Tracy's precise communication style and knack for working with couples
has turned so many "non dancers" into confident and graceful lovers of
dance!"

March 28, 2011 “Tracy Everitt is the consummate professional dance teacher, and at the same time the friendliest most uplifting instructor my partner and I just love being around. He exudes positive energy and support, and breaks things down so that we as beginning dancers can learn the steps in a fun welcoming supportive environment. If I were to ever recommend a dance teacher to anyone within the tri state area, I would hands down say Tracy is a MUST – after Tracy I don’t think I’d ever want to take lessons from anyone else because he’s that fun and that incredible a dance teacher to work with.” Gary Tuerack President and Founder, The National Society of Leadership and Success

December 30, 2009 Tracy,
This is
long overdue, but thank you so much for teaching us to dance to The Way
You Look Tonight for our wedding in October! We were pretty nervous and
made a few mistakes, but no one really noticed and everyone continues
to comment on how great the dance was. Thank you so much!
Hope you are enjoying the holidays! Have a great 2010! Kristy ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

August 3, 2009 Hi Guys, We just got
back
from the honeymoon. Just
wanted to let you know that everything went great! The crowd
was cheering us on the whole time. Unfortunately, we did not
get video of the dance, but we do have still photos that we can send in
the next few weeks.
...
Thanks.
Best,
Claudina and Matt

July 29, 2009 Hi Tracy, Ashley and I
wanted to say thank you again for the wonderful dance
lessons. Our first dance, to "All I Ask of You", at our
wedding on June 6th was a huge success. Everyone was clapping
and cheering throughout the dance! We actually received quite
a few compliments.
... Thanks again, Anthony and Ashley ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
February 24, 2008 Tracy, Cristiana
and I are boarding our plane to argentina, and wanted to let you know
that our dance was a smashing success. Thank you for the choreography,
steps, and guidance to put together such a great dance on such short
notice. We heard a number of times that it was the best first
dance they had ever seen, So fun!
We look forward to coming back soon for future lessons. Best - Stephen and Cristiana ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
September 06, 2007 Hi Tracy, Spela and I
just
wanted to say thank you for all your help in putting together our Dance
for our wedding day. "Me and Mrs. You" was a big hit for all
our friends and family and I dare say that we nailed it!
Thanks again, Matt & Spela Price ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
August 21, 2007 Tracy
Sadly Nancy and I will not be able to join more of
your joyful dancing lessons. The happy part is we're moving back to
North Carolina, ....
We have both really enjoyed our time with
you. While Nancy has real potential as a dancer, I know I'll
always have two left feet. Still, we've always had fun learning (or
trying to learn, in my case) with you and we greatly admire your
enthusiasm for dance, and for life. We also met some very nice folks in
your classes. Please send our regards to them as well, and look us up
if your dancing brings you to Charlotte.
best, ken

June 12, 2007 Tracy,
Michael and
I
can't thank you enough for what you gave
to us. As the picture below shows (and says), we had one of the best
first dances ever! Folks were clapping and Yee-Hawing for us... it was
incredible! Thanks so much for everything. We couldn't have done it all
without you!
Looking forward to seeing you again soon.
All our best,
Kira & Michael

May 29, 2007 Dear Tracy,
Showing up for class is easy, especially when
you have
a dedicated, encouraging partner and a passionate,
humble teacher. Besides we have so much more to
learn, like dancing without strangling each other with the new arm
movements.
You gave me a gift that I will remember for the
rest
of my life, and for that I will always be thankful.
See you on Sunday!
Warm regards,
Michele

November 15, 2004 Tracy, Mark and I
just
wanted to thank you for inviting us to the wonderful "keep your vows"
dance class this month! We had such a great time and learned so much --
especially during our last class this past Thursday. The steps seemed
challenging at first, but by the end we were having so much fun with
them! It was nice to take all the skills that we've learned from our
wedding lessons and the group lessons and see them come together in a
"practical" combination of moves that we could do to almost any kind of
music. We're so happy that we made the decision to extend our dance
lessons after the wedding; ballroom dance is such a nice thing to know
and something we will have so many occasions to enjoy for the rest of
our lives. In fact, we have a wedding to go to this weekend, and just
found out about two more this year! We are so excited to "show off our
new moves!"
Thanks again for everything! Best always, Teresa and Mark ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
August 12, 2004 Dear Mr. Everitt,
Bruce I was watching a few of the old Judy garland shows and saw you dancing. You really stood out. Then I saw a Christmas special of that same series and there you were performing "Steam Heat" with Liza Minelli. You were both wonderful. So... I thought I would look you up on line. What a nice surprise to see that youu are teaching dance! Me... a writer/potter and sometimes actor living in North Carolina. This note... just a few words from a fan. Sincerely, ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
April 09, 2004 Hi Tracy, We had a great time in all of you classes and feel that we learned a lot. When we show our friends our steps, they can't believe what we can do in this short amount of time!! You're a wonderful teacher and hopefully we will eventually be able to continue with lessons depending on all of our availability. Please tell everyone that we are sorry to go but had a great time learning to dance with Daria, Josef, Peter and Amy!! We will be in touch, thank you again for all your help!Sharon and Mike ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
April 05, 2004 Hello Tracy, Thought I would shoot you an e-mail since I did not leave my e-mail address yesterday. The class was a lot of fun. You are a great teacher. Looking forward to the next one. Thanks, Jackie ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
April 01, 2004 Hi Tracy--Just wanted to say
thank you now that our wedding dance instruction with you is
over. Paul and I learned a great deal and we have been
practicing regularly. We appreciated your patience and
guidance. If we need a refresher lesson before the wedding in
August, we will definitely be in touch!
Thanks
again,
Tracey

February 22, 2004 Hi this is
Michele
Carunchio... I just want to thank you sooo much for inviting me to your
sunday salsa class! I had such a great time and your class really makes
me want to continue dancing forever! I may not be that good YET but I
am sooo willing to learn because dancing really makes me come alive...
you make it so fun for me and I realize that what I learned before was
really only a taste of latin dance... the faster pace that your class
moves is so exciting and it is such a rush for me. I really can't thank
you enough- thanks again! see you on tuesday
-Michele ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
December 24, 2003 Dear Tracy,
On behalf of Christina and I,
we wanted to take some time to thank you for your wonderful dance
classes at Hoboken High. So often Christina and I
left saying how much fun we had and how we yearned for
more....
In the beginning of our
classes it was clear two neophytes were dancing; at the end you saw two
totally different people. (smile...I'm not sure if that was a
good thing or not) It has been my experience that
in all walks of life, the sign of a good instructor is leaving the
audience, in our case the class, wanting more. I speak for
the class when I say we always left wanting
'more'....
Furthermore, your
love for teaching and passion for dance was seen throughout the course, for that we
thank you. Unfortunately, due to our schedules Christina and I
will not be able to attend the next series of classes, but rest assure
our paths shall meet again!
Here's wishing
you
and your family a
happy and safe
holiday season!
Regards, Greg Feldman ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
December 07, 2003 Hi Tracy. Keep sending us updates. A million thanks, again. You are the worlds greatest dance instructor. Hope all is well. Bill & Rita |
