My wife and I are so glad that we went to Bella Ballroom in Orange County to learn choreography for our first dance at our wedding. The entire staff was so kind and welcoming from the moment we arrived for our introductory lesson!
As beginners we didn’t know a lot of steps but quickly picked up the moves with the help of our initial instructor, Megan, and finished out our lessons with Nick who took our dance to the next level! We looked forward to our lessons each week and were both so impressed by our final choreography. We even had some extra time to learn a line dance! Our guests were blown away when we started our dance at the wedding!
I highly recommend Bella Ballroom for anyone looking to learn a dance for any special occasion, or just to try something new!

HIGHLY RECOMMEND for your upcoming wedding! Our experience with Bella Ballroom was 10/10. We went to Bella Ballroom just 1 month before our wedding hoping to learn a few moves for our wedding day, but our wedding day dance turned out incredible and far exceeded our expectations! We want to say a HUGE thank you to your team and Thomas especially for giving us the highlight of our wedding - our first dance! This truly was one of our favorite moments (aside from the actually getting married part!). Our family and friends loved it too, you know it's good when there's lots of clapping and cheering at every dip and lift! Thank you so much Bella Ballroom for being part of our special day!

Nick was an exceptional dance instructor for our wedding first dance. With no ballroom experience, my fiancé and I felt a bit nervous, but Nick quickly assessed our skills and designed a fun, manageable routine just for us. Despite some initial struggles with the rhythm, his engaging teaching style made learning enjoyable. By the time of our wedding, we danced beautifully, and our guests were thrilled! We had such a fantastic experience and highly recommend Nick to anyone looking to learn how to dance.

We enjoyed our dance lessons from Bella Ballroom! It was our first time learning how to dance and our instructor, Nick, made it so easy to follow along. He gave great tips and was patient with us on how to get our choreo dance perfect. Everyone at our wedding was surprised and loved our first dance. Thank you Nick for helping us!

Let me just say this: some people are born to be the center of attention. My husband (then fiancé) and I are definitely not those people. When we signed up for a choreographed dance for our wedding, the idea of dancing in front of over 80 guests made us pretty uncomfortable. But then we met Mallory, our dance instructor, and everything changed.
From the very first lesson, Mallory was so sweet and made us feel completely at ease. Over the course of five lessons, she created a beautiful three-minute dance routine from scratch, tailoring each move to our comfort level. She was incredibly flexible and open to feedback, happily adjusting anything that felt awkward or uncomfortable for us.
By our last lesson, we were genuinely sad to say goodbye! Even though our wedding was still more than four weeks away and we were open to more refresher lessons, Mallory made sure we were fully prepared, writing down all the details and going over everything as if it were our final session.
When the big day came, we nailed our dance perfectly, and we have Mallory to thank for that! Her knowledge, instruction, and contagious positivity made all the difference. Any couple would be lucky to learn from her!

We had a wonderful time with Bella Ballroom Dance Studio! They were so helpful and welcoming from the start! We arrived and got to work with Kendal. She was INCREDIBLE! She walked us through every step of the progress and ensured we felt confident along the way. This was such a fun experience as well! If it’s for your wedding or a date night, I highly recommend Bella Ballroom! Thank you for making us look like we didn’t have two left feet for our first dance!!

We couldn't be happier with our experience at Bella Ballroom Studio for our wedding first dance lessons, especially with our amazing instructor, Mallory! From the moment we walked into the studio, we felt welcomed and at ease.
Mallory is an exceptional instructor. Her warmth and enthusiasm made every lesson enjoyable and fun. She took the time to understand our vision for our first dance and tailored each session to suit our skill level and comfort. Neither of us had much dance experience, but Mallory's patience and encouragement made us feel confident and excited.
Her expertise and attention to detail were evident in every lesson. She broke down each step in a way that was easy to follow and always offered helpful tips to improve our technique. Mallory also made sure to incorporate our personalities into the dance, making it uniquely ours.
When we requested to make minor changes to the choreography, Mallory was incredibly accommodating. She seamlessly adapted the routine to fit our new ideas without missing a beat, ensuring we felt comfortable and excited about the final result.
One of the highlights was when Mallory taught us how to do a perfect dip and kiss at the end of the aisle after the ceremony. It added such a special touch to our day, and our guests absolutely loved it!
The progress we made in a short amount of time was incredible, and we owe it all to Mallory’s guidance. On our wedding day, our first dance was everything we had hoped for and more. Our guests were amazed, and we received so many compliments on our performance.
We highly recommend Bella Ballroom Studio and Mallory to any couple looking to create a memorable and special first dance. Thank you, Mallory, for making our wedding day even more magical with your wonderful instruction and support!

Bella Ballroom was fantastic for learning our first dance + father / daughter dance! My husband, myself and my dad all have left feet, and Thomas made us look like we were good dancers! I had pretty low expectations and expected to not enjoy dance classes since I don't like dancing that much, but it was honestly so much fun and gave me a lot of confidence going into the wedding! The staff are all so nice and friendly, and Thomas was phenomenal. He was not intimidating at all, he came up with exactly the type of dance we were looking for, and was so easy to work with! Whenever we wanted to change something, he said no big deal and changed it. It was such a fun experience and I would definitely recommend to any and all soon to be newlyweds for your wedding!

Such an incredible and fun experience for 6 months. My now husband and I had Mallory as our instructor and she was truly the best! Every time we came in for practice, all of the staff were so welcoming and kind as well. Each practice we felt more and more confident and had so many compliments on our first dance on our wedding day. I’d recommend Bella Ballroom for any future weddings or events as it was such an amazing experience that was worth every penny! Thanks again Mallory for making our first dance so special for us!

10/10 recommend taking first dance lessons with Bella Ballroom. We loved our lessons with Mallory. She was so kind and so patient with us as beginners. Her explanations were thorough and easy to understand. She fully choreographed our first dance and it was AMAZING. It was better than we could’ve expected and our guests loved it. Our dance lessons were one of our favorite parts of the wedding planning process.
As beginners, we were nervous to learn a dance but Mallory made the process very approachable and very fun. Towards the end of our lessons, we learned how to do a backflip which we never would have imagined possible. It was such a highlight of our big day.
We purchased the 10 pack of lessons which I highly recommend if you want a choreographed dance. We were deciding between a 5 pack or a 10 pack and are so glad we went with the 10 pack.
Ryss and Mallory are both so helpful and made our experience with Bella Ballroom so wonderful. We cannot say enough good things about them and cannot recommend this place enough.

Thank you to Mallory and the whole team at Bella Ballroom for making dance lessons FUN. Sam and I did not expect to enjoy dance class as much as we did. Mallory was so patient with us (and my dad when he joined one of the lessons). Our first dance was so special and memorable thanks to them.
They were also so accommodating with schedule changes and texted us the sweetest messages before the big day. So thoughtful!
I highly recommend dance lessons at Bella Ballroom as a fun date night or to get ready for your first dance :)

Choosing Bella Ballroom and having Mallory as our dance teacher was one of the best decisions we made for our wedding! From the moment we stepped into the studio, Mallory made us feel comfortable and excited to learn. Her patience and sweetness created such a fun atmosphere during our lessons. We walked in with two left feet and walked out feeling like dance pros, all thanks to Mallory's expert guidance. Our first dance was a highlight of our wedding, and we owe it all to Mallory and Bella Ballroom. Thank you for making our special day even more memorable! - Carley and Neil

We could not have been happier with our experience at Bella Ballroom. We decided if were going to do dance lessons for our first dance, we wanted it to be more challenging, so we chose the tango. Mallory guided us during our first complimentary lesson and made us feel confident we could learn the tango in just five lessons. We were quickly trained on the tango basics and performed the dance at our wedding in front of 70 of our closest family and friends!
It was such a fun bonding experience for my husband and I to take dance lessons at Bella Ballroom and dedicate extra time to practice between lessons. Mallory was so sweet and supportive as we stumbled through the first few lessons when we doubted our choice to learn the tango. With a lot of laughs along the way, we felt so prepare with the help of Mallory and were so happy with our performance.

My husband and I decided to take dance lessons to learn a routine for our first dance and we're so glad we did! We worked with Tiffer and he was absolutely amazing. Super patient and answered all of our silly questions and reassured us that we would get the routine down just in time for our early December wedding. We took 5 lessons and my husband who hasn't danced a day in his life was doing lifts by the second lesson! We're so glad we took lessons and we're so happy Tiffer was our instructor. The outcome was amazing! We were able to land that lift at the perfect time - all thanks for Tiffer. We can't thank Bella Ballroom and Tiffer enough! If you're debating on taking lessons, just do it - your photos/videos will turn out great and your guests will love it.

Leanna was our main instructor and she created the perfect dance for us. We had so much fun with her at every lesson, the dance lessons became the main highlight during the wedding planning. We also had Tiffer for one of our dance lesson and he was amazing to work with as well. Everyone at this studio is so nice and make you feel so comfortable there. We plan to come back in the future to do more dance lessons for date nights!

We contacted them about a month before our wedding. Super responsive and everyone there has great energy and attitude. After our $20 trial class (20 min) our instructor Megan went through all our options, made recommendations on the number of lessons we should take based on how polished we wanted to be by the end.
Unfortunately we couldn’t afford the recommended 10 classes of our budget, but we went with 5 and so far it has been a blast.
After 4 classes we have most of our song down and are super stoked to perform it at our wedding. Huge shoutout to Megan and everyone at Bella Ballroom Dance Studio!!

We hired Bella Ballroom for our wedding dance lessons- both bride and groom, as well as mother-son dance. Mallory is literally the best dance instructor ever. She made every dance lesson so fun, enjoyable and efficient. At the first session we talked about what we wanted- lots of spinning and also some lifts. For the mother-son dance she was so perfect too and careful of my mother-in-law’s back. On our wedding day, we were, of course, nervous but all of the dance lessons paid off because everyone thought our dance was amazing and we had fun too!! Mallory is so great and has an amazing attitude and is so upbeat and we are so excited for her engagement and hope she enjoys the journey towards marriage too!!
Thank you Mallory!!

We are so glad we decided to have our first dance choreographed! Tiffer was awesome and he incorporated moves that worked for us, our song, and our dancing abilities. He was so easy to work with, was encouraging, and made us feel like we didn’t have 2 left feet…Much better than awkwardly swaying in front of your guests for 3 minutes! Plus, it was a great date to look forward to during all the crazy wedding planning

My fiancée and I decided to take the $20 intro to see if we felt comfortable enough to try to do a first dance at our wedding (we are both newbies). Everyone was so friendly and welcoming, and Tiffer was so helpful and fun!
We ended up going with the 10 lesson package, and have been enjoying our lessons with him so much. Despite our lack of experience and general stiffness, we’ve been able to learn a lot in a short period of time from him! He has been choreographing the dance from start to finish, and taking our feedback on what we like / don’t like to make sure that the dance is authentically us. Thank you so much!

So I called Bella ballroom we met with Tiffer (we love him!)
and to say the least our first dance was Amazing! We're so confident with dancing now. If you're looking for a first dance for your wedding I would highly encourage this studio. We had an extra class left over so we learned extra dancing moves like salsa and slow dancing; I know we would do this all over again!
P.S. their mints in the front are the best

Absolutely amazing experience with Tiffer. He was the best! I had been following Bella Ballroom on instagram for awhile before reaching out for wedding first dance lessons. My husband and I are not dancers at all. Tiffer's patience and detailed instructions were able to help us prepare for the most amazing first dance ever. We honestly didn't think we could do it. But Tiffer's creativity and professionalism allowed us to perform a dance that matched with our vibes which was romantic and flirty. All of our guests loved our dance so much! Tiffer made us feel very comfortable and honestly, these dance lessons were one of our favorites parts of wedding planning.
We had 0 confidence in our own dancing when we first started but the week of our wedding when we went in for our last lesson, we were pretty confident in our first dance. Tiffer is simply AMAZING. He is such an incredible dancer and made it so much fun for us.
We 100% would recommend Bella Ballroom for anyone looking for first dance lessons or any type of dance lessons.

My husband and I discovered Bella Ballroom in November of 2022 and have taken around 10-11 dance lessons for our first dance on 9/6/2023! We were able to work with a few instructors, but by far our favorite was Tiffer! Everything he choreographed was breathtaking and he worked with us every step of the way to literally perfect every move, even the tiniest details! Truly every class was so much fun it was like meeting with old friends! Our first dance was absolutely gorgeous and I went from having anxiety about having a choreographed first dance to feeling so confident and special in ours! Truly don’t know what our dance would’ve been without Tiffer and Bella Ballroom! They helped us master our dance and everyone commented on how beautiful it was the day of! They truly made such a special moment for us that we’ll never forget! We can’t wait to come back for some more dance lessons just for fun!

Hands down our favorite part of our wedding planning. We worked with Mallory who was not only an amazing dancing instructor, but absolute blast to work with. Half way through our time with her, we changed our first song, which was entirely different than what we initially chose. She had no problem starting from the beginning and creating a choreography for us in time. She also helped us with our mother/son and father/daughter dance. Our parents appreciated her patience and understanding of what they wanted out of their classes with her. She also created a remix for father/daughter dance and had no problem working on it until the dad was happy! We love Mallory and the entire Bella Ballroom team and will forever be grateful for our time in their studio!

Totally worth it!!! My fiancé and I had the pleasure of working with Mallory to choreograph our first dance for our wedding on 9/9/2023. At first, I was excited to learn a dance together but also a bit worried because the both of us have what I would describe as two left feet. We signed up for 15 lessons and Mallory was an amazing instructor and made learning new moves very easy for us. I also really loved that she took a video of what we learned at the end of each lesson and it was so great to look back through all of the videos at the very end and see how much we improved from the start. Everyone at Bella Ballroom was so very friendly and helpful! I’m going to miss seeing them all on a weekly basis. I highly recommend coming here if you want to learn any dance!!

She really listens to what the client wants and asks for their feedback through the lessons to make sure they are happy with it. She is so bubbly, positive and fun to be around!

Tiffer was absolutely amazing as a dance instructor. So professional, fun and friendly. My husband had great hesitations about wanting to do dance classes and actually doing a first dance. After one hour with Tiffer, he found himself enjoying the experience. The dance classes and hours we would spent with Tiffer each week became one of the most fun parts of our wedding preparation. We had so much fun with our first dance thanks to Tiffer and are even considering continuing dancing as a hobby. He gave us great confidence and we would highly recommend him. Thank you so much Tiffer and the entire Bella Ballroom team who were so welcoming and friendly, and for making this an incredible experience for us. Best, Desiree & Scott

We are so happy we went to Bella Ballroom for our first intro class! We didn't know what to expect, but clearly we loved it because we ended up taking so many more classes.
Our instructor Tiffer was amazing!! He made the lessons so much fun, he choreographed our beautiful dance from beginning to end and allowed us to add in any moves we wanted.
We killed it with our First Dance, made so many of our guests cry, and people are still talking about it to this day!!It's all thanks to Tiffer.
Everyone at Bella is soo friendly and supportive and cheers you on. They made us feel so comfortable. We hope to come back for more dance lessons of a different style!

When my husband and I picked our first dance song Come What May, we just felt it had to be choreographed to do it justice. Our wedding planner directed us to Bella Ballroom and we could not be happier with our experience there. We had 10 lessons starting about 7-8 months out from our wedding date, most of them with our instructor, Marco, and we loved our experience choreographing and practicing our song with him. He encouraged us to try new things while also being so patient with us when learning all the steps. Towards the end of our lessons, we also got the chance to work with Nicole and she was also wonderful and gave us some great tips for our last lesson that we applied to the dance on our wedding day!
We absolutely loved the staff there. Everyone was so friendly whenever we came for our lessons. Special shout out to Ryss for rooting for us every time she was there when we were at the studio!
Tried to give a few clipped photos of moments we loved during our first dance. The first dance was one of our top favorite memories of the night. We are not dancers at all and yet felt so comfortable on the dance floor on our wedding night. We're so so glad we took lessons and so glad it was with this awesome dance studio. If you are considering dance lessons at all, especially for your first dance, we would definitely highly recommend coming to Bella Ballroom.

Tiffer helped me and my now husband choreograph our first dance at our wedding. I was a little nervous going into our first class, but his kindness and professionalism immediately put us both at ease. We left each class raving about how much we enjoyed the lesson on the drive home. Our first dance was so upbeat and fun, we got a TON of compliments during the wedding. I can't recommend Bella Ballroom and Tiffer enough. We will definitely be back just for fun :)

We had the absolute pleasure of working with Marco to choreograph our first dance. Marco is extremely talented, easy to get along with, fun to work with, and endlessly creative. Marco, we cannot thank you enough for the wonderful experience and amazing first dance!
I myself have a professional dance background, where my husband has no dance experience. Marco was able to meet us both at our skill level to craft a dance that works for both of us. We always had so much fun with Marco during our sessions – it seemed like time just flew by! The front desk staff was always so kind and their studio space is clean and welcoming.
The end result was beautiful! We had so much fun during our first dance on our big day and our guests LOVED it! Some of my favorite photos from our wedding day are from our first dance!
If you can’t decide whether to have a choreographed first dance – do it and book Bella Ballroom! They can create a dance that meets you at your skill level and makes you look amazing. Your guests will love it, and you’ll have WAY more fun than just standing there and swaying!

There were quite a few choices for wedding dance instruction in this area but Bella Ballroom stuck out to us with their warm email when we first contacted them. Once we had our initial consultation, we were sold! Their instructors are incredibly friendly and kind and work with all levels - us being beginner. We wanted a choreographed sequence to memorize and let them know what we envisioned. Leanna choreographed our dance and Marco really helped us polish it up for the big day! It was absolutely perfect and we can’t recommend them enough for all their support!!

We worked with Marco at Bella Ballroom Dance Studio and he was amazing in helping us prepare for our special day. My wife and I knew we wanted to exhibit preparation in our first dance, while not making it too regimented. Marco developed a game plan for us based on our song choice & helped us execute a perfectly balanced dance. We would highly recommend using Marco & Bella Ballroom for any dance lesson needs.

Leanna choregraphed the perfect dance for our wedding. She also helped me and my dad with our father/daughter dance and my husband and his mom with theirs. She was so kind, patient, and met us where our skill level was. Our first dance was one of my highlights from our wedding! We had so much fun practicing and learning. It was great quality time with each other and our parents. I couldn't recommend Leanna enough!

My husband & I wowed our guests with our first dance! And we had a great time doing it! We danced a beautiful waltz to Brudevalsen, The Danish Bridal Waltz. Taylor is a fabulous dance coach! She was always positive and a lot of fun. She choreographed our dance with 5 different moves that showed off my dress. Very highly recommended! Even if you procrastinated like us, go see Taylor. She choreographed and taught us our dance in 6 lessons.

Our wedding planner recommended Bella Ballroom to us since she herself had used them for her wedding choreography. We had Leanna as our dance instructor and she was amazing! We had a pretty difficult and long choreographed wedding dance that required 15 sessions. Admittedly, we weren't the best at doing the homework and practicing at home until the end when the pressure kicked in! But our dance turned out amazing on our wedding day in Italy! We got so much feedback as to how impressed everyone was and how flawless it looked! We even practiced the morning of our wedding since the dance floor was very different from the flooring we had in our home. Leanna was very patient and gave us a lot of helpful feedback and suggestions to help us improve our dancing. She continued to teach us even after she broke her foot. She was such a trooper and always had a smile on her face. I highly recommend Bella Ballroom to anyone who wants to have an enjoyable experience learning to dance! Even if you're a super beginner, don't be afraid! We had a lot of fun at every dance session. They will make sure you get the dance you've always dreamed of and feel confident doing so!
