I love to teach dance! And I have a sentimental fondness for teaching wedding couples their ‘First Dance”. Before I’d turned 20, teaching couples for their wedding was my first professional dance instruction. It’s very satisfying to sense that feeling in a couple when the “light” comes on in their minds, and they first think “Hey, this is not really going to be as hard as I thought!” Yep. That’s when, during the first lesson, they genuinely feel that this is doable. I truly enjoy what I do--- and all my students tell me it shows. Come see it for yourself.”

We are so grateful to have had Lenny as our wedding dance instructor! From our first lesson, he created a warm and welcoming environment that made us feel comfortable and excited to learn. Lenny tailored each lesson to fit our vision, guiding us from feeling awkward to gracefully performing our routine.
He broke down each step clearly, which built our confidence and made the experience enjoyable. We received countless compliments on our dance, and we owe it all to Lenny. If you're looking for a skilled and supportive instructor, look no further!
Thank you for making our first dance so memorable!

We are so grateful to Lenny for guiding us through our first dance! We had no experience going into the lessons, and he put us at ease with his warm personality and guidance. The dance was tailored to our skill level and Lenny made the learning process enjoyable. If you are looking for an instructor who is passionate about helping create a special memory, we wholeheartedly recommend Lenny!

My wife and I had Lenny as our tango instructor for our wedding. He was very knowledgeable and professional. We needed a bit of flexibility in our schedule, and he was able to accommodate us. I have no idea how he managed to teach two people with two left feet, but we proudly dance the routine he made for us. Overall, excellent instructor!
response10/14/2024
David, thanks for your kind words. And thanks to you both for your dedication in learning...
the steps of your Tango. It was a pleasure.

WE LOVE LENNY!!! I was nervous at first because we had never danced before but Lenny is THE BEST! we are two classes from our wedding and I truly look forward to our private classes! I feel confident that we will do great on our first dance because of Lenny. Once we get back from our Honeymoon and after the holidays we plan to join in on the group classes.

Lenny was really awesome with his lessons! He made sure we had lots of fun and taught us a beautiful first dance in the process. Every session he was attentive, encouraging, and fun to learn from! I love that he got his wife involved in the lesson to demonstrate various positions and variations. I would definitely recommend that if you're looking for some dance lessons, Lenny is definitely the right person for you!

Much appreciate this! I know you both made me proud.

My husband and I had private dance lessons with Lenny in his home in preparation for a wedding. Lenny was extremely professional and was an excellent communicator explaining all dance steps to us. Encouragement always was provided and we did not feel self-conscious during the initial lesson. As the lessons progressed our dance skills improved and dancing become second nature to us. We felt like we had been dance partners forever during the wedding reception.
response12/29/2023
Congratulations, you are now dancers! Don't wait for the next wedding or special event to...
dance! You now have those dance moves for the rest of your life. So I suggest you both plan a "date night" at least once a month, to dance together in your own living room! Keep fresh those dance moves you learned. I believe you will find that they get more and more comfortable for you both in your new "dancing partnership". Bless you both.

Dance Lessons with Lenny were very fun for my husband and I. Though my husband had some minor lessons in the past, I most certainly did not. Lenny was patient with us, encouraged us to keep going even when we messed up, and celebrated with us when we completed the dance without any hiccups. He was able to map out where we were, and what might be the best moves for us. He did not make us feel uncomfortable or overwhelmed with complicated steps. It was such a nice experience, and we couldn't be more grateful for his guidance. Everyone at our wedding thought that we had been training for months before our wedding, even though, in reality, we had a pretty late start with our dance lessons. We would absolutely recommend Lenny for couples at any level of skill set!
response12/19/2023
Jasmine, thanks for all your kind words. And I also thank you and Bushan (hope my spellin...

Lenny is such a wonderful and knowledgeable instructor.
My fiance and I came with very little dance experience. Lenny encouraged us the entire time with positive stories and affirmations. We are so glad we met him with such little time to our wedding. We now are equipped with beautiful moves that Lenny taught us. He spent the time to get us comfortable and we had so much fun. Wonderful person. Highly recommend.

We took lessons from Lenny before our daughter's wedding. He also taught our daughter and her fiance to dance. Lenny made it so enjoyable and easy to learn dancing. Aside from his dancing skills, he always puts his students at ease and is very encouraging.
We enjoyed his lessons so much, that we continued lessons well beyond our daughter's wedding. Lenny has truly added another dimension to our lives--we take every opportunity to dance

Andrew, I'm gratified whenever I see the 2 of you dance. Thank you for your kind words.

Wow! Best dance instructor ever! I started taking lessons from Lenny for our son's wedding. I had two left feet and didn't know the steps to any of the dances (Foxtrot, Waltz, Salsa, hustle, etc.) I truly believe that if I did not start out with him I would not have continued with lessons. He has so much patience and makes the lessons so much fun! Now I am hooked and dancing has become one of the most enjoyable activities in my life! I highly recommend him!
