Ballroom Bliss

per coordinated, but she helped us build a dance that felt comfortable, looked good, and showcased our personality amazingly.

riends recommendation and it was great from the start. The pricing is affordable (less than half the cost at the rittenhouse /headhouse square place), clear, and flexible depending on your needs, the instructor works with you where you’re at and was so accommodating about availability and quick responses.

helped us with a few steps/moves that we could use in our dance. It didn't end up being a choreographed routine, but it definitely put us at ease on our actual wedding day. Would definitely recommend!

me, and we were able to learn the choreography in 2 lessons and then fine-tune it in the remaining 3 lessons (we have no dance background). If I could give more than 5 stairs, I would! She was absolutely a dream to work with, and I highly recommend her.

arn! I also worked with her for my father daughter dance, and my dad couldn't stop raving about how good a teacher she is. He claimed he's from the "I can't dance school", well not anymore! Thank you so much Kira, and Ballroom Bliss!

had so much fun coming to lessons and we only needed a few to make our dance perfect. I would recommend any couple to use this company for any dance lessons!

ices, and was so easy to schedule. We had a great time with Deborah during each lesson and she was able to teach exactly to our skill level. Each lesson was like going on a fun date! We learned a bunch of new moves that we were able to show off on our wedding day and all our guests were so impressed! We would highly recommend her to everyone

problem for Kira and Ballroom Bliss. After just two lessons, she had helped us master the basics of the Bachata including some spins and dips. When it came time for our first dance on our wedding day, everything went great! While we might not be ready for Dancing with the Stars, with the help of Kira we not only didn't make fools of ourselves, but we even got some "ooos and ahhs" from our family and friends at our wedding. Not only did Kira help us have a successful first dance, but we had a ton of fun learning with her as well. Our lessons were easily one of the most fun parts of getting ready for our wedding. We can't thank Kira enough for her help and we would highly recommend her and Ballroom Bliss to anyone else!

ssons for their wedding.

fident about showcasing our moves. Both Deb and Kira are incredibly skilled dancers and teachers. They intuitively know what kind of dance goes best with any given music and are ready to help you reach your objective. We did not want anything choreographed, but instead wished to learn how to keep time with the music and have a few moves to bust out for fun. When the big day came I didn't even notice we were the only ones dancing while my husband led us around the floor like a pro. Our friends and family were amazed and asked us where we learned how to dance. I cannot recommend Ballroom Bliss highly enough. There are so many stressful parts about planning a wedding and having your first dance become one of the "fun" parts of planning is a definite must. Thank you both!!

recommend Ballroom Bliss! We looked at other venues as well which were much pricier with less flexible scheduling.

s in the city, but the hours at most studios were tough and we just didn't talk to anyone we really wanted to work with. Our wedding planner recommended Deborah and Ballroom Bliss and we are so happy we found her!!! Deborah choreographed our first dance perfectly to the song "That's How Strong My Love Is" - It was elegant, classic, and fun - and we took 5 lessons with her. Neither my husband or I are great dancers, but she was so patient and helpful with us. Whenever one of us got frustrated, she had a solution or talked us off the ledge (which is not easy to do with either of us!). Moreover, we were learning the dance in probably the most stressful days leading up to our wedding. Going to see Deborah for our lessons and practicing our dance was something we truly looked forward to and gave us something fun to do amidst all the chaos. It is truly something I'm always going to remember. The day of our wedding, the dance went wonderfully and we received so many compliments from our friends and family members. The most important part? We had a ton of fun doing our dance, and it was so much more meaningful because we had put so much time into it. A month after our wedding, with lessons and the wedding behind us, we're still dancing to it. Deborah is amazing and we're so lucky to have worked with her. She is a great teacher and a great person, and we couldn't recommend her enough. Thank you for everything!! --Kristina and Brendan

xperience- I was a dancer for years, and he felt awkward and self conscious and had a hard time on a dance floor. He and I had tried another local dance academy out and it felt a bit out of our price range, and just not necessarily the best fit. Luckily we ended up in the care of Deb and Kira, with an affordable package that we attended with my cousin/bridesmaid and her partner! I can hardly express in words how much fun it was to take lessons with Kira. She made my fiancé feel more comfortable on his feet than he has felt in years, and she reminded me, fittingly to let him lead!! She was so constructive and so validating, and I could feel us improving by her teaching each lesson. I felt like she noticed our strengths and was so positive in helping us improve. She was so knowledgeable, patient, accessible, and amenable, and really encouraged us to trust each other, to switch partners, to dance with her, and to find our groove in the different styles. She matched us when we were goofy and added lots of lightness and laughter to the room, while bringing us back to our goals and helping us refine each style. We ended up learning Waltz, Rumba, and Swing, and I can't believe how excited my fiancé is to get on the dance floor later this month for our wedding. Kira and Deb are both fantastic teachers and I would beg any folks, engaged or not, to take advantage of any opportunity to learn from them!

g really stiff or overly choreographed, but didn't want to just "wing it" the day of either. Deborah promptly provided helpful information about their locations, lessons, and pricing. We then put our first dance on the back burner for months and finally decided to take lessons about six weeks before our wedding. This is not to recommend our procrastination, but with the expert teaching of Deborah and Kira, we felt wonderful and confident going into our first dance. Deborah helped us get the basics down and then because of some scheduling crunches, Kira stepped in and helped us finesse our moves. The lessons were really enjoyable and both Deborah and Kira were excellent teachers--supportive, patient, creative and fun. They gave us the tools to practice on our own at home and come to the next lesson ready to continue learning. On the day of our wedding, felt like we nailed our dance and were so happy! We received glowing praise from our guests and there were lots of cheers throughout. One couple who had seriously ballroom danced before said our foxtrot looked much better than the "standard four lessons with a few basic moves" dance. Must have been that fifth lesson! I would highly recommend Ballroom Bliss to any couple looking to feel confident and comfortable being the center of attention at their wedding.

fun was when we got to show it all off to our family & friends during our first dance at our wedding :-).

reat time with Deb and Kira learning our moves. It was a great experience. Deb was up front with pricing easy to schedule with and quick to respond to emails which is more than I can say for the other studios I looked into in Philly. Highly recommended!

we had some extra dance moves for the rest of the night. We looked online at a few dance studios before choosing Ballroom Bliss and we could not be happier with our choice. Thanks for everything!!

ah was great to work with. We felt very comfortable with her, she got the style we were going for, and helped us pulled off a dance that is now referred to as 'the dance' by those who attended.

during our dance sessions. The hour sessions felt like 5 minutes flew by! Veronica was incredibly patient with us, and even sent us videos on how to master the steps that we struggled with. Overall, we had a blast with Veronica and highly recommend anyone to take classes at Ballroom Bliss.

Blitz; she was flexible, reasonably priced and great to work with. My husband I wanted to do something different (fast dance to "Say Hey" by Michael Franti) so Deb taught us some salsa moves and we had fun learning and practicing the steps in her home studio. After just 4 lessons we were able to choreograph our own dance which wowed our guests. I highly recommend working with Deb -- As well as doing something out of the box -- to make your wedding special and memorable.

Deborah, the owner, was fantastic to work with. We took lessons in her home studio, right in our neighborhood. She was very flexible with scheduling, which was a must for us with two crazy schedules.. And she was so much fun to work with! We learned so much during our 8 lessons, and really looked well put together for our first dance at the wedding. We plan to take more lessons with her in the future!

nted. She choreographed an amzing father/daughter dance for my Dad and I that everyone at our wedding is still speaking about. She is a dedicated instructor, who has a wonderful personality. I would recommend her to everyone.
