Deanna was so sweet, and easy to work with! Very encouraging, and made sure we were comfortable the whole way through. She gave many helpful suggestions without pushing us past what we were comfortable with. We're very excited to show off what we learned on the big day! I would definitely recommend her lessons.

Deanna was wonderful to work with and did so much with us in the short amount of time that we had. We would recommend her to any couple who is looking to get some help with their first dance.
Thank you, Deanna!

Thanks to recommendations from couples on The Knot
Welcome, soon-to-be newlyweds!
If you’re hoping to do more than just shuffle from side to side on your big day, my lessons are exactly what you need! Most couples want to feel confident and look great dancing together, but they don’t want to be overwhelmed by complicated routines. With over 30 years of dance experience, I’ll work with you at your level to help you achieve the perfect first dance.
If your wedding is still a couple of months away, check out my "Wedding Dance Rescue" lessons, offered throughout the Twin Cities. These affordable 2-hour sessions are perfect for couples who want to feel prepared without all the stress. Many couples learn everything they need in just one class! Walk away with a video of the moves you learned so you can practice at home up until wedding day.
If your wedding is under two months away, private coaching might be the best fit for you. Most couples find that 1-3 private lessons give them the skills they need to reach their dance goals. We’ll focus on your song, your pace, and your style—no contracts or packages required. Just book each lesson as you go!
For couples who want to build skills for not just the first dance but for all the dancing at the reception (and beyond), I also offer 3-week group courses at 15 metro locations. These courses are great for couples and even for the bride and groom’s parents who want to join in on the fun.
For more details, visit my website at ConstantineDance.com or call/text me at (612) 240-8329. I can’t wait to help you get ready for your big day!
Your dance instructor,

My fiancé & I had no dance experience prior to our private lesson with Deanna. I can confidently say this was the best experience I could’ve imagined. We went in knowing nothing & ...
left feeling so confident in what we would dance to at our wedding. Additionally, the entire experience was light hearted - once all of the wedding festivities are finished my fiancé and I will definitely be signing up for the group classes that they have as a fun date night activity. Such a memorable experience thanks to our amazing instructor Deanna! If you have never danced before I couldn’t recommend the private lesson more!!

I also loved that she suggested starting with just one session to see how we felt, instead of requiring us to buy a package like many other studios do. We accomplished so much in that time, and it’s great knowing we can always come back to her for an extra session to fine-tune things!
Would highly recommend Deanna!

Deanna was recommended to my fiancé and I by our friends that were recently married and also took lessons through Constantine Dance. The whole experience has been great. Having no ...
dance history we tried the group dance lessons to get comfortable before doing a private first dance lesson. The group class was so fun and we came out feeling much more confident and excited to learn a dance customized for our 1st dance at the wedding. We had our 1st dance lesson this past weekend and Deanna was attentive to all of our concerns or questions and we both feel very confident that by the time our wedding comes we will have a beautiful dance together. I can't recommended Deanna enough for anything from fun date nights at group classes or private dance lessons, you won't be disappointed no matter your skill level!

Deanna was SO great to work with! My fiancé and I do not usually slow dance and we wanted to give our wedding guests a fun first dance to watch. We did not know what to expect for ...
our dance lesson, but Deanna made us feel so comfortable. She asked for our 1st dance song ahead of time and came up with great beginner dance steps for us to use and she also recorded us dancing which was super helpful! I can't wait to do our first dance at our wedding and I cannot recommend Deanna enough!

I cannot sing enough praises for Deanna. My husband and I took a private lesson with Deanna about a month before our wedding. She was patient when scheduling a time and flexible to...
fit our schedule. She worked with us on moves to create a beautiful first dance. We also brought our parents for another lesson just for fun, and it was a fantastic time! She gave kind feedback for us to improve. She taught at our pace and took the time for us to really get the steps. Look no further for the perfect dance lesson!

We can't recommend Deanna enough! My fiance and I recently took a private lesson with Deanna ahead of our wedding. She was flexible in finding a day that worked for us around busy ...
schedules. She also let us modify and add to the lesson because I wanted to practice a dance with my dad for the wedding as well. We had an absolute blast!
We're new to ballroom dance, but we knew of Deanna because we had signed up for a 4-week group dance class last year. At the time, my fiance and I were looking to do something new together. The class turned out to be under Deanna's instruction, and an amazing experience. Deanna is easy to work with and very professional. Before we met with her to work on our wedding dance she asked if we could share our first-dance song ahead of time. She was prepared during our lesson to show us dance steps that worked with the song, offering to customize it based on what we were most comfortable with. Deanna is insightful; she provided us with tips on how to make our dance look put together, but also not be stressful for us. We are so grateful that we found Deanna's dance lessons, and can't wait to work with her again in a future lesson!
