Brette was incredible! We didn’t have very much experience but she made it so easy to get into it and we looked like rockstars at the wedding! She is very relatable and the personal setting at her studio made us both very comfortable. 10/10 recommend. Our friends were JEALOUS!

We had an excellent time with Brette choreographing a routine for our first dance! Neither of us are very good dancers, but Brette was a great teacher and made us feel comfortable from the moment we stepped onto her dance floor. The dance she came up with for us was easy to learn and felt fun and organic. Her lessons took one of the more stressful parts of our wedding night into something we genuinely look forward to!

I cannot recommend Brette enough! My husband and I have no dance experience at all, so when it was time to think about our first dance we knew we needed to get outside help. Brette...
choreographed a beautiful, romantic number to our song and we were so proud to show it off to our loved ones. After learning the first dance, we asked Brette to help us choreograph another dance last minute (sorry Brette!), but we got it down in no time!

I cannot recommend Brette enough! My husband and I came to her with basically zero dance experience — and to top it off, we’re both super tall and not exactly coordinated. From the...
start, Brette made us feel completely at ease. We gave her our song, and she not only choreographed the perfect dance but also cut and faded the track beautifully so it was seamless for our DJ.
She thought of every little detail — from how long we should dance, to where the perfect photo moments would be, to making sure it all felt natural and fun. She worked around our crazy schedules, kept us laughing the whole time, and somehow turned something we were anxious about into one of our favorite parts of wedding prep.
At the end of each lesson, she even recorded us doing what we learned so we could practice at home — such a game-changer!
Brette is creative, kind, patient, and insanely talented. She truly goes above and beyond, and her passion shines through in everything she does. MUAH — chef’s kiss! If you’re on the fence, do it — you’ll love her and feel right at home from the moment you start!

ted to do more than an awkward sway, we were feeling nervous and unsure about how our dance would come together. Brette was patient, encouraging, and did a great job at breaking down each step in a way that was easy to understand. Every lesson felt fun and stress-free, and by the time our wedding day arrived, we felt confident and excited to take the floor. Our first dance turned out to be better than we ever imagined, and we are so grateful to have the photos and videos to look back on.
10/10 recommend Brette for first dance choreography or any dance lessons!

Brette was fantastic! We booked a last minute lesson 3 days before our wedding… and she responded immediately & helped pull together a choreographed first dance in our first lesson...
. As people who are not experienced dancers - We’re so happy and relieved going into our first dance after Brette’s guidance. Definitely recommend :)

Brette is AWESOME!! We were introduced by another couple who learned their wedding dance from Brette and we immediately liked her! We had no idea what we wanted or what our dance s...
hould look like. She gave us fantastic guidance from the beginning - choosing one song vs. making a medley. We kind of like different vibes so we chose a medley! My husband is totally new to dancing and Brette has been so patient and gentle. She knows how to teach us while we have very different learning styles! And when it was only 1 month before the wedding, I decided to add a solo dance. Brette has been so supportive and made magic! All our guests were so impressed by the interpretive meaning of my solo dance! A few told me that they even cried during my dance! For the couple dance, guests got a nice surprise every time we changed to another session (song) in the medley! They fell into our romantic atmosphere during our slow dance, clapped happily during our Sasa, and cheered excitedly during our jazz! The ending post was the most successful. Their cheers shook the entire wedding venue! All said these dances were meaningful and fun! They asked us how we learned the dances so well so I told them we had a wonderful dance teacher!

e someone with no experience such as myself felt confident in my abilities by the time we concluded our sessions. On the day of our wedding when it was time for the first dance, her skills as an instructor shined as we wow’d all of our guests and had an unforgettable wedding day. 10/10 would recommend her and would not have had the same successful wedding without her guidance.

Brette is exceptional! Words cannot describe how incredibly talented, patient, kind and inspiring she is. She was our choreography instructor for my daughter’s Quinceañera, which ...
is very much like a wedding. She choreographed a Waltz for my daughter and her escort, as well as a surprise dance for my daughter and her court (6 young ladies). Both were phenomenal, easy to learn with her fantastic instruction and super creative. The routines were the hit of the night and the fun part were the practices leading up to the big day. I cannot say enough about how much of a blessing Brette was to us. She is super responsive, dependable and is a natural leader/instructor. Hands down the best of the best!

Brette is truly an amazing human!

Okay this is long over due but Brette truly deserves recognition and credit for being the best instructor to my husband and I! We got married at the end of Feb, and somehow we were...
able to learn a whole choreo to our wedding song since the beginning of Feb within 4 lessons! (Supposed to be 3 but she was super kind to give us an extra lesson to make sure we were ready for our big day) My husband and I have no experience with dancing, but Brette was very patient, made us feel comfortable, easy to follow, and had confidence in us. We were recorded at the end of the lesson so that we can see and practice our moves at home, and would check in with us to stay on track. I didn’t think we could pull this dance off since it was my fault I decided pretty last minute to take professional lessons instead of learning from YouTube (& luckily she was available and got us right into it) but she worked with us by being so flexible with both of our schedules and came up with an amazing choreo pretty fast. We learned the dance in less than a month and even switched the versions of our song midway through. Brette is amazing at what she does & will HIGHLY recommend.. it was truly a fun experience!

d made our wedding as special as ever! I had decided to work with Brette because I had taken both classes with her at SoundBox and also took private lessons with her before. So when we were looking for first dance choreographers, choosing her was a no-brainer. From the initial planning of the first dance to the actual sessions, Brette was by our side every step of the way! My partner was very particular about what he wanted and it was our very first time doing waltz together, so it was definitely a learning curve on top of the many other stresses that come along with wedding planning, but Brette made the process easy and helped us with options when we came to some difficult parts! Not only that, but our song was in a completely different language, but Brette executed a choreography that represented the song flawlessly and we wouldn't have chosen any one else! We have received non-stop compliments on the choreography and, if you want to do a litte more than just waddle on the dance floor, then just go ahead and do it! We would highly recommend working with Brette. I can guarantee you won't regret it!

ing. Being the groom, I wasn’t thrilled to be doing this but gave it a chance. She took the time to understand us and how we move before coming up with how to choreograph us. We worked with her for several weeks and she put in the extra effort of providing videos, motivational messages, helping us practice and pushing us with guidance and positive reassurance we could do it. Wedding night came and left and our guests loved our little performance. Brette was professional, kind, attentive and knowledgeable how to make our song work for us and our dance steps. Fully trusted her and the process and she delivered big time! I was not open to it at the beginning but Brette was an amazing way of guiding us to through the process and I definitely loved it as much as my wife. Thanks again for everything Brette!

Brette is simply amazing! She was super professional in every aspect of the word, but the thing my husband and I enjoyed most was how much fun she made our dance lessons! We had a ...
very specific choreographed dance from the 90s that we wanted to learn and surprise our wedding guests with. From the moment we met Brette, she already had the entire dance choreographed, memorized and ready to teach, wasting no time. In 1 session, she changed our mindsets from 'this is impossible' to 'WE GOT THIS.' Each session was so much fun, and Brette was so patient with us, always giving us the best tips/tricks/reminders, kept us on the right track and by the time our wedding rolled around, we felt like we were pro dancers. It was all because of her and not only her incredible dance skills (because hello, anyone can instantly tell from her IG that she has SICK talent), but her ability to break down every step of the dance, and teach it to two people who have never so much as thought about dance before. She structured each session so that it wasn't overwhelming, and explained everything so clearly. She's personable and made us feel comfortable. We can't stress enough how much fun it was to learn from Brette, and she was so kind to go out of her way to follow up after the wedding. Our dance was my favorite part of our wedding night and it's all thanks to Brette!
