Sylvie was amazing and helped us to feel really comfortable with our dance. She was so patient and flexible with us throughout the process. A lot of the dance instructors I first ...
looked up were very traditional, ballroom kind of style or just didn’t vibe with what we were looking for! We went with a less traditional first dance and Sylvie completely understood what we were going for and choreographed something really fun without being too complicated or technical. Also, our classes were really enjoyable and my fiance and I had so much fun while preparing for our big day. I would absolutely recommend Sylvie or any other instructor with the studio- we had a great experience!
Sylvie is THE best! The choreo she made for my husband and I was so fun and her instruction was super easy to follow for people with little dance experience. She made sure to incor...
porate moves that worked for the specific dress I was wearing and moves that would be great picture moments which was so thoughtful. She made us look so good and our guests could not stop talking about our first dance. Sylvie is super communicative when booking sessions. She also ends each session with recording a video of what we learned that day so we can practice at home which was super helpful. Booking with Certified Baddie is a must!

ed a beautiful first dance using the custom mash-up song we provided. She brought our vision to life, seamlessly blending traditional and Bollywood elements. My fiancé, who has no dance background, easily picked up the steps thanks to Sylvie's patience and clear instruction. We loved her thoughtful approach and flexibility, adjusting the choreography when certain moves didn’t work for us. We’re so excited to show off our new dance skills at our wedding in November!

e were having a good time and felt comfortable before moving on. Our sessions were my favorite part of the entire wedding planning process. She accomodated a time and date that worked well for us, and the privacy of her own studio made us feel comfortable. Her prices helped us stay in budget while bringing to life the most unique and fun first dance ever.
