One of our Movers and Shakers is Talia Castro-Pozo, Co-Director of Stepping Out Studios:

We even wore our Burju dance shoes, and she is another Mover and Shaker:

Since they say good things come in threes, for good measure Peachy Deegan BYOMS (Brought Your Own Mover and Shaker) to the lesson, because isn't that what Movers and Shakers are supposed to do, move and shake? From the minute she walked in the door, she could see that Stepping Out Studios is a class organization. She was pleasantly greeted at the desk and given a tour by Suzan Damsky. There are so many dances, but such little time, and we decided to learn the Argentine Tango tonight. After an amazing lesson taught by Jules Helm (http://juleshelm.com/), the Whom You Know dancing panel was quite pleased and we believe our search for the best dance studio in Manhattan has ended! Every aspect of Stepping Out Studios was top-notch, personable, classy and above all what we learned in an hour was fabulous. It was like the before and after picture in a makeover!

Jules is funny, personable and a great communicator, all of which are key components in teaching a fun lesson, which this was. The private lesson began with a warm-up, and each component of the step was broken down and efficiently put together. By the end of the lesson we had it all together and it was just as much fun to learn it as it was to have it flow correctly by the conclusion. The demonstrations and his ability to think in both roles and identify improvement points made the lesson additionally successful. Jules is able to teach at any level! One person on the Whom You Know Dancing Panel hadn't taken a formal dance lesson before and the other person did it many years ago at Miss Porter's School as a sport one year. Tremendous progress was made in only an hour! Why sit on your couch at home watching Dancing With the Stars when you can actually do it? Whom You Know recommends Stepping Out Studios, and taking the Argentine Tango with Jules Helm in particular.

"As you know from my past features, Peachy Deegan and I were in the same class at Boston College prior to either of us becoming entrepreneurs. When we played together on the BC Alumni softball team in Central Park years ago, she mentioned she could not find a great dentist in Manhattan and could often be found networking on her phone in the outfield hiding from the ball. She was my second patient ever in 2006 when I opened my dental practice; I was one of the first sponsors on Whom You Know and the first Mover and Shaker featured in 2009 and have worked with her continuously since. She's even talked her friends that are doctors into being my patients, and they subsequently send their hospital colleagues. I don't know anyone that is as great of a networker and writer as Peachy, nevermind that she is upstanding and always good for her word. Cosmopolitan Dental is so happy to be in the company of the caliber of major brands she works with today, and although she will tell you a million ways to get your teeth dirty between Peachy's Picks, Terrific Takeout and Peachy's Pantry, Peachy Deegan will tell you there is only one way to get your teeth clean!"
