June was a great person and the best dance instructor we ever had! She had a wonderful inclusive manner so that even the most challenged person wanted to learn to dance. She was great with all ages from teens to seniors, but I think she most enjoyed teaching high school and college students. Thanks to her there are a lot more young people dancing these days in the Rogue Valley!
Personally, she saved me from many a dance meltdown because she could teach my partner Jack better than anyone else. I honestly think that it's thanks to her that we kept on dancing after some "rough spots" learning new moves. We're still dancing 15 years later.We took group and private lessons from her. We always felt that we got more than our money's worth from her instruction. She was so good at "diagnosing" what wasn't going right with an attempted dance move and fixing it for us. She also had the ability to choreograph based on the skill level of the dancers...a real confidence booster for beginning dancers.
So we guess that a good dance instructor was needed "up there" and June was called to the task. I don't imagine that wings will hamper her one bit...if anything she'll come up with some new steps!
We miss you June.
