Tom is amazing! We tried dancing lessons at least 10 times in the past before taking from Tom and he finally taught us to dance! He’s a miracle worker! He uses “ moves” to help y...
ou learn. He’s honestly the best teacher out there!
Highly recommend for wedding first dance lessons! My husband and I had a very short time frame and Tom taught us so well and efficiently, which was just what we needed. It was fun...
and we are so glad that we did it. It was worth it to have some fun moves and now we can use them for years to come. We only wish we had time to take more lessons to learn more. Thanks Tom!!
My husband and I went to Tom to prepare for our wedding first-dance. Tom not only made us feel prepared and confident going into our wedding dance, but he also taught us skills tha...
t can be used for any type of dancing in any setting. We actually attended 3 of our 5 lessons with my husband's parents, which was fun for all of us. I think all four of us were pretty nervous at our first lesson, but we quickly relaxed and let Tom lead the way. We all had a blast on our wedding day and our dances went perfectly! SO many people came up to us afterwards and said they were so impressed with our dancing skills and loved the fun elements and moves we sprinkled in. We can't recommend Tom enough, and will definitely call him the next time we have an event or want to learn a new style of dance. We highly recommend Tom for people of all skill levels! You will have a blast and leave feeling confident in your dancing skills.
We had such a good time taking lessons from Tom! He was a diligent and helpful instructor. We took a group class and then one private lesson. When we ran out of time for all we wan...
ted to accomplish at our private lesson, he offered us another free hour on a different date. I highly recommend this studio, whether you're looking to choreograph a first dance or just learn how to not make a fool of yourself on the dance floor!
Taking lessons from Tom was one of the best decisions we made leading up to our wedding! My husband was borderline dreading dancing and looking like he didn't know what he was doi...
ng in front of the crowd. Tom alleviated all of our hang ups around our first dance. We took five lessons from him and he was awesome. We came in with our song choice narrowed down to a couple and he helped us pick our final song, doing a loose choreography that fit our skill level (absolute beginners). Tom taught us skills to use while dancing, not a strict choreographed routine, so we can keep impressing friends at other occasions and songs.
Highly recommend Tom for anyone preparing for their wedding dance!
We took 5 dance classes with Tom to prepare for our wedding. Tom was a fantastic instructor - we came in knowing...
nothing, and after working with Tom, everyone was complementing us on how professional our wedding dance looked. The 5 classes were perfect to get an introduction to dance, put together choreography for our song, and add some personality. Tom had great advice through the classes that really helped us remember the choreography, and look our best at the wedding!
Tom was an amazing instructor. We didn't want a fully choreographed first dance, but we knew we wanted to add a few moves to make it a memorable and classic moment for us and our g...
uests. We were so happy with the instruction we received; not too much nor too little. Tom reminded us that above all we needed to have fun and it would show, and it did. My husband and I received SO many compliments on how natural and special that dance was to watch on Saturday. We found out that at least two other couples in attendance at our wedding also went to Tom for their first dances and they loved him too.
I've taken professional dance lessons before and they have, without fail, always tried to upsell you and flatter you into spending more money. Never once did Tom make us feel that he was trying to sell us on something we didn't want or need. I would recommend him to anyone.
We took an intro to ballroom class followed by private lessons to learn our own first dance and we are so glad we did it that way! It helped us feel more confident and comfortable ...
with dancing and we got so much more out of our private lessons. Tom is such a great instructor, very easy to work with and learn from! Everyone at our wedding was so impressed by our dance! And We enjoyed learning to dance so much, we plan on going back and taking other dance classes from Tom just for fun! Thank you Tom!
Tom was great! He helped with our first dance as well as a combined father daughter/mother son dance. We only planned two lessons with him but we enjoyed it so much that we ended...
up with 5 classes. My dad was really nervous for the dance, but the few lessons we had with Tom really set him at ease. We are all so glad that we attended these classes. My husband and I want to take future lessons with him for other weddings/formal events. We recommend Tom to anyone!
Excellent, fun, worth your while. Tom is great!
We worked with Tom before our wedding on our bride/groom dance and bride/father dance. We took four lessons with him, which was great. The first few times we practiced different mo...
ves and then we went into practicing the songs. We didn't want anything too complicated but wanted to be sure to look good and have a bit of flair in our dance! Tom did a great job helping us plan out and practice our dance, interspersing a few cool moves in but keeping it easy to remember. Thanks, Tom!
My husband and I took dance lessons prior to our wedding to learn a first dance. We had just a few weeks before our wedding and ended up with a dance that far exceeded both of our ...
expectations. Tom is the best instructor ever!!! He is able to individualize the lesson and is so flexible. Not only were the lessons fun and a great time to spend together in the midst of wedding planning, but we learned a lot about our relationship through the lessons and grew closer as a result! Before our first lesson, my husband was very resistant to go to dance lessons, but I could tell early in our first lesson that he was really enjoying it. I came to our first lesson with lofty goals and essentially envisioned our dance to look like something from Dancing with the Stars. Tom was able to accommodate both of our styles and create the perfect dance for us that had the flare I was looking for and stayed within my husband's comfort zone. :) We cannot thank Tom enough for the fun memories of our first dance and everything we learned about the amazing and surprising parallels of our growth together dancing and in our relationship!
He didn't make us count the steps he worked with us in our style in one lesson for two hours and made our dance awesome!!!
