When we first met with Amy, we didn't know what song we wanted or what type of dance or even if we ready to do this at all! Amy started us off slow and helped us find a perfect rou...
tine. The experience was fun along the way, our guests were wowed and now we have something special to share just between the two of us. We had zero experience and couldn't have found a better teacher!
We had such an amazing experience working with Amy before our wedding! She is patient, gives such great instruction and is a great person overall. We wanted to keep things simple b...
ut she encouraged us to challenge ourselves and we are so happy we listened to her. Our dance ended up simple with just the right amount of flair. The most important thing she taught us was remembering to have fun. 10/10 would recommend.
Amy is such an awesome dance teacher. She was very patient and accommodating. Our wedding dance was beautifully choreographed all thanks to her. Definitely recommend her!
Amy is amazing! I can’t recommend her enough. She cut our music for us and choreographed a dance for us for our first dance. Highly recommend her!
Amy is great - especially if you are just starting out.
Amy was able to take two people with four left feet and turn them into dancers in just two months. For our wedding, my wife and I wanted to have our first dance be a little more el...
evated than the middle school standard back and forth sway, so we did our research and reached out to Amy for lessons. From the first lesson on, we felt she set the perfect pace for us, was informative, supportive, and most of all...FUN! We looked forward to dance lessons every week, not only for the time my wife and I got to spend together unwinding from work but also just to spend time with Amy. She's a wonderful and creative person, a fantastic teacher, and our wedding reception dance was choreographed perfectly. She made our unforgettable wedding reception possible and we're now looking forward to continuing to learn ballroom dance as a new hobby!
100% Recommend Amy for dance lessons - regardless of dance level. I decided only three weeks before my wedding to get dance lessons for my fiancé (now wife) and I. We found Amy t...
hrough an online search and feel incredibly lucky for finding her.
We had zero background in dancing and no idea what type of dance we wanted, just the songs. Amy was amazing in helping us pick the dance styles that fit what we wanted, coaching us through two dances (to two very different songs ... back to back), and getting us ready to perform in only 3 weeks!
The biggest thing we loved about working with Amy was her ability to make us feel comfortable and relaxed - not something either of us felt going into the first sessions. Without her personable and humorous nature, we never would’ve been able to make our first dance as special as it was.
Our guests still talk about how amazed they were at the dance. Can’t thank her enough!
Again, I highly recommend Amy for anyone, regardless of dance level.
We loved working with Amy! We wanted to do something unique for our first dance so she choreographed a playful salsa routine with some cool tricks. Luckily for us she works well wi...
th both experienced dancers and beginners (i.e. husbands). Whether you're looking for a wedding choreographer or a fun date night, Amy is the best!
Amy was fantastic! My husband and I went to her just before our wedding - really just so we wouldn’t look like idiots during our first dance. Neither of us had learned to 2 step ev...
en. Next thing you know she’s got us doing a coreographed routine just 6 sessions later. Ideally, I might have added about 2 more just to be more comfortable, but we ran out of time and in the end 6 was just fine. It was so fun to perform our dance in front of friends and family at the wedding! They all got such a kick out of it as it was a surprise to most that we had been taking lessons. Much more fun!
We didn’t want a boring first dance for our wedding. We very much wanted to entertain and amuse our guests. Unfortunately, choreography and rhythm were qualities we were deficient ...
in. We decide to invest in a ballroom dance instructor. Amy Lawrence really brought our vision to life! We elected to dance to Aladdin’s “A Whole New World” - sweet and delicate topped off with a little humor using gymnastics ribbons! Amy was a fantastic instructor who demonstrated clarity with her instructions and patience with our efforts. We couldn’t really visualize exactly what we wanted but, with her talent, she created something that exceeded our expectations! The performance she taught us brought the house down! Our wedding guests were thoroughly entertained and it was definitely one of the highlights of our special day! Her professionalism, expertise and tutelage are qualities that cannot be quantified in price. Thank you, Amy!
My husband doesn't dance. He told me that pretty early on in our relationship, but when he proposed in Italy I told him we were going to dance at our wedding. And the dance would b...

We found Any Lawrence Ballroom Dance on Yelp, she got good reviews and she was just down the street from us. We got SO lucky. Amy was amazing: fun, patient, and choreographed our dance like it was the easiest thing in the world.
We took 12 lessons and practiced our butts off at home and our dance was AWESOME! Our friends lost their minds, the video of the dance is my absolute favorite momento from the wedding. I watch it regularly and I think I always will.
Thanks Amy!
Amy was so wonderful and patient in teaching us to dance. Both myself and my husband had little to no experience with dancing, but that wasn't an issue at all. Having a choreograph...
ed first dance took away a lot of the nerves and pressure of performing in front of people and made everything go smoothly. It was so much more memorable to have a lovely routine that we could capture on video and keep forever, rather than just swaying back and forth on the dance floor like most people do. I cannot recommend Amy enough!! In about a month's time she took two non-dancers and helped us with a beautiful routine that was genuinely impressive and touching to all of our guests. She is patient, kind, an excellent teacher, flexible in scheduling ,and will know exactly what steps to do once she listens to your song. She’s even good with song recommendations!! I loved her so much and found her so helpful that I also had her help choreograph a dance for my father/daughter dance.
Amy was a terrific instructor. We had limited time (about 6 weeks) to learn and rehearse our dance as complete beginners, and she took us to the finish line with a hustle routine t...
hat was appropriate for our skill level, but impressed the crowd at our wedding! She's a patient instructor but pushed us to be well-rehearsed for the big day. She's fun to be around and makes a potentially stressful task something we looked forward to!
I can't recommend Amy enough. My now husband and I took lessons prior to our wedding for our first dance. Amy is an excellent teacher and she listened to our comfort level regardin...
g what we wanted in a first dance, but also challenged us with different dips and lifts and it paid off! She is so friendly and very easy to get along with and every lesson we had with her was a blast!
Great service and instructors. Would recommend to friends and family.
Thanks to Amy's outstanding choreography and teaching skills, my husband and I learned the Viennese waltz in 11 lessons for our wedding dance! We had no prior ballroom dance experi...
ence and were really nervous about learning a routine in less than 2 months before our wedding. Amy is so creative and taught us some cool lifts that stunned our family and friends. She was flexible and always so positive with us, even when we struggled with learning some moves at times. She really knew how to utilize what we learned/were good at to create variety in our routine. Our dance was the highlight of our wedding and we think it was one of the best investments. We are seriously considering dancing as a hobby now and look forward to continue learning thanks to Amy!!!
My partner and I wanted to have the quintessential first dance at our wedding, but neither of us had a clue how to go about doing it. So we went to Amy and BAM we are dancing the f...
oxtrot to Sinatra! She whipped us into shape in a matter of weeks. And we had so much fun doing it at the wedding. But the most important thing is that we had a lot of fun with Amy, she is a real talent and a beautiful person. Hire her!
I took private lessons with my hubby with Amy in preparation for our first dance. Neither of us had any experience. She was so patient and started by teaching us the basics. We had...
a wonderful routine that was no too overwhelming for us and fit our vision of our wedding perfectly!
