Cat was wonderful. So patient with us and our two sets of left feet. We wanted help preparing for the "first dance" at our wedding. We both walked into lesson number one nervous...
and unsure of what we had signed up for. But, we eventually got to a place where we were comfortable dancing the routine Cat choreographed. We nailed our first dance and so many people commented on how wonderful it was. We 100% recommend Cat's Ballroom.
Thankful for Cat and the dance lessons she gave us before our wedding! She helped us put together the perfect clip of the song we had chosen and were able to send it to the band be...
fore hand so that they could preform the exact segment that we had learned our dance to. Thank you Cat!
Where to START?! Cat was absolutely fantastic. She took 2 people with no dancing skills and within a short time frame (not by choice but by injury) gave us a choreographed first da...
nce for our wedding! We had such a great time every lesson, smiled till pir faces hurt, and she really encouraged us. My husband even lifted me in the dance (seriously a fairytale moment) all thanks to her encouragement! We cannot recommend Cat's Ballroom enough. Thank you Cat!!!

John and I were just looking for some tips and pointers so that we would not embarrass ourselves at our wedding. Instead, Cat and Jesse made us want to dance. Honestly, the "first...
dance" was fine - but what was more fun was the opportunity to learn something new and spend time together. Jesse teased us for having "too much fun!" when we had to pause our lessons to belly-laugh. Thank you Cat's Ballroom! we will be back!
Cat and Jesse choreographed our first dance for our wedding and it was one of the best parts of the day! We took 10 lessons and within 7 they had us looking like pros! We left each...
lesson feeling more and more confident. Coming in as the amateurs we are, we were very happy with how patient they were with us. I would highly recommend Cat's Ballroom! Not only for a first dance, but just to learn to dance, period!
My husband and I wanted to learn how to dance in general, but also needed help for our First Dance for our wedding. Cat was very attentive and creative when piecing together a beau...
tiful dance for our non-traditional wedding song. We had six weeks to prepare for it (having never ballroom-danced before in our lives) and, by the time we wrapped up our last practice dance before the big day, we had these steps down! Everyone complimented on how beautifully we danced.
My husband and I were also interested in learning to dance in general and Cat definitely had a ton of moves to show us. We’re so grateful to have found out about her studio!
I highly recommend Cat’s Ballroom! Cat is amazing! She is extremely talented and it shows in her creativity and passion for dance! My husband and I have NEVER danced, we reluctantl...
y asked her to teach us a short tango to perform as a surprise for our wedding guests and we only had 3 weeks. She took us on with so much confidence that we actually believed it we could do it! After a very dedicated 3 weeks, we did it! Our dance was a short 1minute 30 seconds, but in our beginners minds, it was a full concert! She gave us cute ideas that matched our personalities and it made our dance unique! She truly made our wedding day special to us! Thank you Cat!
We had a great time working with Cat to prep for our first dance at our wedding. She is a great teacher and was very patient with us as super-beginners. About halfway through our s...
eries of lessons, our budget got tight and we had to make some changes to simplify the dance, and Cat was super flexible and found a routine that worked for us and that we could do confidently. Plus it makes for a great date night!
we loved our first dance! thanks for the lesson! definitely worth for first dance! thanks much!
I am so glad that my husband and I decided to take lessons for our wedding first dance! The experience was awesome as we both worked hard on something that ended up meaning so much...
. We bought the 10-lesson package and that was plenty of time to learn some basic and complex steps in addition to having our entire dance choreographed for us. Cat was genuine, patient, and truly made the lessons enjoyable. I would definitely recommend taking lessons at Cat’s Ballroom if you have an interest in “wowing” your guests at any event or simply if you want to let loose and have fun.
Cat's Ballroom is great! As beginners, we're finally able to dance across the room with just a few lessons. Can't wait to learn more!
Cat choreographed a romantic, fun dance for myself and partner to perform on our wedding night!
We selected the ten-class package and it was worth every penny.
Cat set us up for ...
success by teaching us the dance in fragments.
The moves built on themselves in a comfortable progression. If at any point we felt or seemed confused, we paused and Cat clarified the moves for us. Cat offered to film a portion of each class so that we could see our improvement and use it to practice at home.
We had a blast learning the dance and we felt confident during our wedding reception!!
Our lessons with Cat got me through one of the most memorable nights of my life at my daughter's wedding. The Father-Daughter dance put me in the spotlight to which I am not accust...
omed. Thanks to Cat, I was dancing for the first time with some idea of what I was doing. Needless to say many people were surprised, as I was also. Many thanks for Cat's instruction.
We loved taking classes from Cat in the months leading up to our wedding! The classes were fun and the dance was a huge hit at the wedding! Highlight recommend Cat's Ballroom!
Cat is truly amazing! My husband and I started taking lessons for fun and to prepare for our first dance at our wedding. I’ve had prior dance experience but my husband was a total ...
newbie and Cat has made us a wonderful dancing team! All of our guests were impressed with our first dance, but more importantly we had fun and enjoyed it! Being able to have a choreographed first dance was so special and it made it even more exciting. My husband was also able to lead his mom on the dance floor for their mother/son dance, which meant a lot to her. We had so much fun that we continue to take lessons. It is a perfect activity to do together and now we are able to have fun and look great when out dancing. I highly recommend anyone considering doing dance in general or a choreographed first dance to go to Cat’s Ballroom. It’s so worth it!
Cat is an AMAZING teacher! She is very sweet and patient with her dance lessons! I have two left feet and she showed us in just one class that it just takes practice. Patience, pra...
ctice, and just having fun! She is very accommodating and I highly recommend going to see her for all your dance lesson needs!
We had so much fun learning our first dance. Cat is AMAZING and helped make our big day even more special. From a couple who can't dance, she gave us the tools to not only do our f...
irst dance, but to move and feel the rhythm of other songs as well. We couldn't thank Cat enough for all her help. We loved going to work with her and we HIGHLY recommend Cat's Ballroom to anyone looking for lessons, or just to get out and have fun.
Cat is amazing. I have not danced in over 30 years and wasn't very good then. I didn't want to embarrass my daughter during our father/daughter dance. Cat came up with the perfe...
ct dance routine that was great and easy for me to learn. She has a great personality and is awesome to work with. The dance went off without a hitch. Thanks to Cat for all the help she provided.
Cat was the perfect instructor for my first dance with my husband and dad! She made us all feel so comfortable, and we had a great time doing it!
My wife and I used Cat's Ballroom to choreograph our first dance after we got married.
Cat and Jesse are simply the best! As someone who has never danced a day in his life, they n...
ot only make it shockingly easy to learn an entire dance routine, but every single lesson was fun. They're really enjoyable people to be around. In addition, they're very open to customizing the entire routine around what you are looking for. I would recommend them to anyone!
Highly recommend! Went to Cat's Ballroom before our wedding not only did we learn so much in a short amount of time, but they were the sweetest people to work with. We were laughin...
g and having fun the whole time! Honestly, dance lessons were one of the last things on our wedding to-do list, but after our first class, my husband and I immediately wished we would've started them way sooner! They spent time customizing our dance to fit our song beautifully! Oh, & did I mention they edit music too???
So my husband surprised me with dance lessons a few days before our wedding, and it's one of the best things we've done! Cat was a blast to work with, and is very talented, not to ...
mention patient--I mean, she took two people with no rhythm whatsoever and was able to easily teach us an actual choreographed dance. We're very thankful for the opportunity, and can't recommend this place enough.
Cat's Ballroom did such a wonderful job of choreographing our first dance. We had no prior dance experience, however, they patiently worked with us and made us look like superstars...
on our wedding day. Everyone at our reception was surprised and blown away by our dance and we are so glad that we decided to go with the choreographed dance. Highly recommend Cat's Ballroom for your special day!
They did a wonderful job of teaching and choreographing our first dance!
My husband and I had a great experience working with Cat on our first dance for our wedding. She was flexible with the scheduling and helped us create a routine that was fun and fi...
t our personalities! Hoping to go back soon for date night! I will always recommend her to anyone looking for a dance instructor for their wedding, or even just for fun!
These classes were such a great investment in our wedding and our relationship! Neither my husband nor I can really dance and had fully expected to do the side to side sway for our...
first dance. To be honest, I think most of our family expected the same. We stumbled across a free promotional first class at Cat’s and were hooked! We had so much fun learning to dance! They made us look like we actually knew what we were doing! Our first dance stunned our parents and was a hit at our wedding. We will definitely be returning to Cat’s for their regular dance sessions! Thanks Cat!
We went to Cat's Ballroom to prepare for our first dance and father-daughter dance for our recent wedding. It had great atmosphere with excellent professional instruction. Neither...
one of us knew anything about dancing but had a blast. Everyone at the wedding was shocked to see our dances! We will definitely recommend to our friends.
