Jo is AMAZING!!! She helped create a beautiful dance both with my husband and dad! We did probably 4 lessons or so in the studio and people still talk about our first dance. I came to Josephine with a vision of my daddy-daughter dance. My dad and I wanted something serious, but wanted to break off into ‘milkshake’ by Kelis because it was our song when I was a kid! We told her what somgs we wanted, she made the mix, the coreagraphy and made us feel so confident for our big moment together! My husband and I wanted to soak in the moments of our first dance, so Jo showed us some moves to add in between our swaying to make it look like we knew what we were doing! I can’t recommend her enough, she is truly amazing and helped to create my all time favorite memories!

Thank you! I loved working with you and bringing your dances to life—especially that fun “...
Milkshake” moment! So glad they became such special memories.

Josephine helped choreograph my father/daughter dance and my husband & I’s first dance for our wedding. My dad and I wanted to start out with a slow song and then break out into a fun dance, and Josephine helped us create an awesome dance that our guests still talk about! We had an amazing experience using her, and had so much fun during every lesson. The lessons were worth every penny and gave us a memory we will cherish forever! I would highly recommend her for any dance lessons!

As someone who was both the groom and the student, I had the unique experience of learning our wedding dance from my incredibly talented wife, Josephine. Despite the personal connection, she maintained the utmost professionalism, patience, and dedication throughout our sessions. I thought it would be an impossible task to teach me to dance, but with Josephine it was very possible! She crafted a choreography that perfectly encapsulated our story and personalities, making our first dance not just a performance, but a memorable highlight of our wedding day. Her ability to teach with clarity and encouragement turned what could have been a nerve-wracking experience into an enjoyable journey for me. Witnessing her passion and skill firsthand, I can confidently say that any couple would be fortunate to have her guidance for their special day.

Thank you so much for your kind words. It was truly special to share this experience with ...
you—not just as your instructor, but as your partner. Creating our first dance together is a memory I’ll always treasure. I’m so proud of how beautifully it came together and honored to have been part of such a meaningful moment in our wedding day!
