CLIENT TESTIMONIAL
I met my wife while taking swing dancing classes when I was 52.
The type of dance is called the Lindy Hop, or sometimes referred to as the Jitter-Bug. Yes, a very energetic type of dance. Two years later, we got married, kept dancing, and are still dancing!
Our dance repertoire has expanded into other Swing dancing, the Fox Trot, some Latin, and Waltz--lots of Waltz dancing! I
'm in my third year of Monica's BBA classes and without a doubt, these classes have increased my balance and flexibility for dancing, my muscle strength, and have become a part of my life that I look forward to.
The BBA class helps in every part of my life. As I get older, I realize the value of the class to my quality of life."

CLIENT TESTIMONIAL
14, 2022: "I am a dog lover who enjoys hiking and occasionally backpacking with my canine companion. I have climbed South Sister multiple times, but not since 2013, so I'm not sure I can still make it to the summit. But that is the reason I take Monica's class. I would like to attempt a summit this August."

These are the world famous steps of Santa Maria del Monte in Caltagirone, Sicily, Italy. They were built in 1606 and there are 142 of them. I went up and down every single one of them no soreness, no tripping, and no stopping. Yay Monica and the Bone and Balance Academy classes! For me, it means not having arthritis pain and feeling strong."
