Testimonials:
  • "So many of our students have told me that this was the best ball EVER.  You created for us a wonderful atmosphere!  This event is truly my favorite I do each year, and I am so grateful you are our dance master!  The band was spectacular too!  We certainly will be planning to do the event again next year!!"   - Rona, Event Planner for a private school's Colonial Ball
  • "I wish you could have heard all the reactions we have gotten from all the people that were there....particularly the men, who said they never would have believed they could dance like that & absolutely loved it.  Thank you for your high level of competence mixed with your friendliness & energy...you made the event so memorable for everyone."        - Marsha, a happy bride who asked for contra dancing for her wedding reception
  • "Thank you SO MUCH for making the square dance such a success last night. Everybody had a blast dancing, and the live music was amazing -- it was everything for which we had hoped, and more. It was by far our best end-of-year party yet!"   - Dasha, an administrative manager for a university department
  • "The music and calling had the whole crowd on their feet, the instructions were clear and easy to follow and a good time was had by all."   -Jane, a Girl Scout leader about the annual Father- Daughter Daisy Dance
  • "Sue Dupre and her band played at our first-ever  Morris County 4-H Clover Dance.  We invited all ages and all skill levels.  Sue had everyone, about 50 in all, up and dancing and feeling confident in seconds.  Our after-dance survey had all positive feedback from people saying "When is the next dance?  We can't wait."  Everyone left feeling good about themselves and their ability to dance.  We can not say enough great things about Sue and the band."   -Valerie, 4-H Program Coordinator
  • "After our 4-H dance, several families have reported their kids square dancing around the house and calling out the dance moves.  This was a wonderful experience for our 4-H community and many participants are interested in future dance opportunities."   -Kelly, Morris County 4-H agent
  • “I booked Sue to host a Jane Austen-themed dance for a group of museum members in November 2022. Over 3 hours, Sue led a group of novice dancers in English country dancing. Her energy never slowed down. The group felt the teaching was fun, easy to understand, and a great way to mingle with new and old friends. Sue’s knowledge of English country dancing and Jane Austen was incredible! Our group felt that they were not only receiving dance instruction but also learning more about a beloved time period. I plan to host this event next year at the request of our members, and I will undoubtedly be asking Sue to lead. 10/10 would recommend Sue to guide your next historical dance event! You won’t regret it.“   -Sara P. Rosenbach Museum & Library
