Dear Wendy,
I just wanted to send a quick thank you for a great time this past Saturday from 10:30pm to 12am. Our instructor was AMAZING! She was so nice, funny, and encouraging and we all had a great time! This is my second time with your company and I have always had a great experience. Thank you for giving my sister (bride-to-be) an amazing bacholerette party! It was very difficult trying to book a fun bacholerette party that would be able to include my 20 year old sister and you guys were definitely the right choice. I will be referring anyone who asks for something fun to do in the city to you!
Thanks again,
Susan
Hey Girl,
We had such a blast!!! My sister had the best day EVER!!! She loved her class and she really took to it. You would have been proud of your girls playing on the pole at the bar later!! BUT DAM THE BRUISES AND THE SORENESS IS CRAZYYY!!! God Bless You Girl Hope to see you soon!!

Hi Wendy,
You wanted me to let you know how my dance for my husband went after my private with you and...I rocked his world! Thank god you taught me how to floor dance in a relatively small space however. The Liberty Hotel room was fine once I did some creative furniture arranging.
I would love another class, this time just focusing on the pole. So far I have been to Gypsy Rose for a friend's 40th party, for the "for your Man only" class, and one private...let me know if you think I'm ready for a pole only class and the dates and times you teach them!
Hope all's good with you...

Hi Wendy!!
I just wanted to tell you how much I loved the one hit wonder class!!! My instructor Lexi was super sweet and so fun! I definitely want to sign up. I really liked Lexi and would like to stick with her classes. I wanted to sign up asap for the beginner 4 week session....Thank you Wendy : )

Hi Wendy,
So enjoyed the "For Your Man Only" class on Sunday. I learned so much and your crazy sense of humor got me past any embarrassment I might have felt. I'm determined to make this a great experience for Kevin and me and that helped too.
Thanks!

Dear Wendy,
Thank you for these pole lessons. Last night I performed at Machine and I am really proud of myself. When I started classes in June, I was too shy to dance in front of Vegas during class. Last night I -- well, Rio -- danced in front of hundreds of women. I danced to music I didn't like, and I accepted money from friends and total strangers, women and men...These classes have been life-changing, for me, and I appreciate your feminist, body-positive principles and your encouraging yet challenging method of teaching. I never in a million years would have thought that pole dancing in front of crowds of strangers would be in my future, and now I'm excited about facing new challenges, in large part due to the confidence I have gained from this experience.
Sincerely,
Rio
Hey Wendy,
I just wanted to say I am really loving the class so far! I think it's the first place I've actually felt comfortable with myself and with being a sexual person, and knowing it's okay to be. I love everything I have learned so far, and I'm glad that I finally decided to try it. I also think you are a very good teacher, and I feel honored to have the opportunity for someone like you to share this type of skill with me. I'm actually a little sad that we are already halfway through the four sessions.
Honestly, I signed up for the class to maybe become sexier for someone else. Now, I really want to do it for myself. When practicing at home in front of the mirror, sometimes I really do find myself attractive. That's when I know I'm really getting something out of it.
I also wanted to say, I'm really excited to learn chair stuff, and that even though I am afraid of the pole, I really want to tackle the challenge of becoming "friends" with it. It's scary, but if I can conquer that fear I know it will make me feel like I can do anything I set my mind to (cliche but true!).

"Wendy…
I don't even know where to start!
The experience of being in your classes is something that I will never forget! I may have shared with you before that I was overweight for much of my life and have maintained a weight loss of 90+ pounds. Through all the weight gains and losses, my self esteem and self perception changed with my body type.
When I originally signed up for the classes, I did it to spend time having some laughs with my friend, for some exercise, and the challenge of doing something that was "out of character" for me. What I learned from you is that dancing is not out of my character, I just needed to become a different character, and "Rain" was born.
You offer a safe place to let go of inhibitions and find something within, which for me, has been hidden for many years. I have noticed that I feel more confident in myself, I strut instead of walk, and I feel sexy!!!
Before the recital, I stood and looked at myself in the mirror in the back room. For a brief moment, I wasn't someone's mother, wife, daughter, sister, friend- I was just me- doing something empowering for myself and I couldn't help but smile. And during the recital, it was such a rush! I was so nervous, but then I took a breath and did it- and had a blast! When I looked at my husband in the audience- it made it all so much more fun!
You are a great person with an amazing spirit. You encourage women to move outside of their comfort zones and dig within to realize that we can do things we didn't know we could!
There is a saying that people touch other's lives for a reason, a season, or a lifetime. I can tell you that you have changed my life! Thank you for all that you have taught me and for all that you do!"
-Barb "Rain"
Dear Cassidy-
I can't thank you and the other girls at Gypsy Rose enough for the amazing time we all had becoming a dancer for an afternoon. Though initially shy and nervous, by the time we all left we were strutting the Boston streets, practicing booty circles and getting up sexy! It was an experience none of us will soon forget and (the brider) herself said it was the best part of her weekend. Actually the next day we went and saw "The Proposal" and the movie, well I won't ruin it but there were defiitely points when we laughed out loud and said "booty circles" in unison! If you haven't seen it, definitely do, you will get a kick out of it. Thank you for making this bachelorette such a hit!!!
Truly,
M
Hi Wendy,
I just wanted to thank you and our fabulous instructor for our class last Saturday (at 10:30). I'm so sorry about the confusion on Friday but am glad we were still able to have the Gypsy Rose experience. The girls in our party all had such a memorable experience. I really think that your business is fabulous and does alot more than just give women some fun memories....it helps woman feel more comfortable with their bodies (something so many of us aren't always the best at).
Thank you, thank you, thank you!
- Shannon
Hi Wendy,
I just wanted to let you know that all of us girls had a blast on Saturday night. We had Cassidy and we loved her. she was fantastic and filled with energy!! This was my second time in your studio and it is such a success. I will be sure to refer and contact you again in the future.
Keep up the good work and the energy you all have!! :)
- Melanie
Hey Wendy!
Just wanted to say I had a great time at Thursday's class. I didn't know how fun it was to be sexy, but boy it sure is :) I showed some friends my new moves and they were impressed. I'll definately bring them along next time. I guess I didn't understand why guys like that stuff so much, but they do so gotta use what we have to show them ;-) I'm going to do a little show for my boyfriend this weekend, wish me luck!
- S
Wendy,
Thank you for a great training session. I had fun, learned a great deal, had a great workout and I look forward to more of a transformation! You are a very good, informative, patient teacher who makes the learning very fun.
Thank you! Have a great week and see you Sunday.
- Ali
Hi Wendy,
...I left class feeling more confident in myself than I ever have....
- Susie AkA Lana
Hi Wendy,
I just wanted to thank you and Juliana for a fabulous time. We all had a RIDICULOUS amount of fun--I'll be recommending you all around, and I'm already trying to scheme a reason to come back again!
Thanks again,
- Heather
Well Wendy,
Not sure if you can add this to your list of testimonials, but you did a mighty fine job getting me ready for Sept.'s recital, in fact so good, I'm preggers with lucky #3 (4 months to be exact)- you do the math... Any hoodle, we're ecstatic! And I knew you'd get get a kick out it.
So for your next recital, you may want to start off with a disclaimer, "Ladies and gents, this show has been known to aid in the process of reproduction, please take all necessary precautions post-recital. And know that Gypsy Rose Dancing is not responsible for any Baby Mamas or babies..."

Hey there!
I bet you always hear this, but i wanted to let you know how much of a fun and awesome time i had in your class last night!!!! i havent enjoyed something so much in a long time.
(You) are such a kick ass chick! you are so confident of yourself and you have an amazing personality and instantly made me feel so comfortable and welcome. i thought i was going to be shy and timid, and i think i may have been a little at first...but you eliminated that almost immediatly.
After class, when walking to my car, i exuded such confidence because of your class. not only did i think i was the hottest thing struting my ass down boylston st, i actually believed it. you are the cat's meow and i'm so happy i found you. thank you so so much, you are worth every penny and more!
i am so excited for next week, i cant wait!!!!!!!
- Caitlin (after her first class)
Hey Wendy,
Sorry that it took me so long to write. I just wanted to thank you for the wonderful class you gave a few weeks ago. The girls that were the most shy are now like "When are we going again?". I even have girls that weren't able to come now wanting to be included. I'll probably set up another one in July.
Thank you again for being such a great instructor and having such a wonderful class. :)
- Bonnie
What can I say??
You told me that the recital was a blast and once you got out there the energy would get you into it.....and you were so right. I loved every minute of it....I had an absolute blast.
Never in a million years would I have thought I could do what I did. Thank you for being such an AWESOME teacher.....I enjoyed your classes so much. I looked forward to every Monday and seeing what you had in store for us.
I will be seeing you again, I KNOW, for private lessons etc.....because I have had that much fun and I will miss you. You are great at what you do and you should be proud of that. Barb and I always say how much we enjoy watching you dance....you are absolutely great!!!!
Thanks again for letting me be in the recital. I feel great this morning and proud of myself actually. I hope I showed the audience how well you taught me....I wanted to make you proud (sniff, sniff).
I will see you soon.
- Nikki
Hey Wendy!
My girls and I had a party with you on sat the 26th. I just wanted to drop you a note and tell you how much fun we all had. You were a blast! Our night ended at foxwoods but I must say the real party was there in your studio!!! Thank you so much. My aunt and I and her 2 daughters want to do a class with you.
Let me know...
Thanks again,
-Catherine K.
The recital was awesome!! I can't wait to be in one!
-Anonymous
I have wanted to say thank you for all of your encouragement and constructive criticism. I have this fear spawned by American Idol... do I look as sexy as I feel, or am I completely clueless and look like a jackass?? lol I'm really enjoying your class.
-Eryn (Amber)
Hi Wendy!
First of all, just wanted to tell you what a BLAST I had last Friday night. You were funny, professional and put me totally at ease. You also kicked my butt - what a workout!!!! I came out of your class feeling so confident about how I look - what an ego-booster you are. Thank you for putting me in touch with a side of myself I didn't even know I had. My husband thanks you, too!!!!!!! (And yes, feel free to post my comments on your Web site.)
-Diane
Hi Wendy!
It's the new Aurora :-) Thank you so much for having the recital night! What an adrenaline rush! OMG! I had such a great time, and everyone I talked too did as well. I can't wait to keep learning from you with the advance class. You're incredible!
I won’t write on forever, but thank you again for the certificate, garter, and everything! I hope you had as much fun as we did!
-Aurora
I just wanted to say thank you for the recital yesterday. I had a blast performing for an audience that size--even if you did make me go first!
-Grace
Really looking forward to seeing you again - I've felt like a RUNWAY MODEL since I took your class last Friday. It was such a shot in the arm for me. I suspect that some of my friends, my sister, and her friends will be bringing back groups of their own after they come in April. They are so excited for this!!!!
-Diane
I was with Lisa’s bachelorette party on Sept 8th at 2:30 pm and we just wanted to say that it was awesome. Thanks for a great time we had such a blast and it was easily the most fun we have had in a long time. I am recommending it to all my friends. It was terrific. Keep up the great work and thanks again it is awesome!!!
-Myra
Wendy:
I am so very glad that I took your fabulous class, and it was the best 55th birthday present I could have ever given to myself. You are amazing. Not only are you a superb dancer and an excellent teacher, but you also have the ability to put everyone at ease so that learning is really fun. I left feeling empowered, beautiful, strong, spirited, and sexy. I wholeheartedly recommend your class!
-Lynn-NH
Wendy,
You are freaking hilarious! Friday night was SO much fun! I still am trying to figure out why I liked the pole so much and the other three liked the chair...perhaps I shouldn't dig into it too deeply, eh? ;) HA HA!
-Julie
Queen Ho,
We had a blast, thank you so much for a smokin hot booty camp! When you get a chance to email the video that would be great....we will certainly be back to strut our stuff even further - best of luck with the toilet - I hear those snakes serve many purposes!
-Venus aka Andi aka Andrea
Hey there Wendy,
I just wanted to drop you a little note to thank you for the class. It was really a great time. The girls were a little shy at first, but they seemed to come out of their shells a bit. I would have to say that your class was the highlight of the bachelorette party.
My sister, Alex, was married last weekend. It was a beautiful wedding, I dont think it could have gone any more perfect.
But, we will always have our striper class!
Thanks again!!
-Emily
Thanks Wendy so much for the class! It was great and i feel really excited to show off my new moves. I will be in touch regarding the girls night out i'm planning. Again i really enjoyed the class!
-Ameka
Sorry it took me so long to e-mail you (helas, school has gotten the best of me), but I just wanted to THANK YOU for an amazing experience. I now catch myself dancing around my apartment to sexy music all the time. I would certainly love to be back, as soon as school gets less hectic, so I'll email you then!
-Stella
Wendy,
Thanks you so much for our class on sat night. We all had an awesome time!!!! Thanks for the sweet moves! :)
-Kendra
Hi Wendy,
Thank you again for a great class for Catherine Saturday morning. It was such an awesome way to kick off the day. She still can't stop talking about it …So I would like to book for another bachelorette party!
-Beth
Thanks Wendy. We had a great time with you this Sat. afternoon. Shannon thoroughly enjoyed the class (as did the rest of the girls) and thought it was a really fun thing to do! Thanks again.
-Mary
Wendy -
I had a fun time even if I only took the pictures and laughed! Susan and the rest of the chicks loved it - I even went and bought the book for Susan and now I know she wants a pole installed in her Hair Salon!
