Erin Machuca
Ballroom Dance Instructor
My name is Erin & I've been teaching couples to dance for 10+ years. I started ballroom dancing when I was 15 years old. My passion is to help couples learn to dance and through that, connect in a way they didn't know they could/needed! My favorite thing is to personalize a 1st wedding dance to bring your vision to life. Whether that's to stand out, be simple or even dance together at the reception! I love to see the process unfold from beginning to end!

We cannot thank Erin enough for making our wedding dance absolutely unforgettable. From the very first lesson, she brought such patience, encouragement, and expertise that we felt ...
completely at ease. She is the company owner, and it shows in the way she pours her heart into every detail — tailoring the choreography to fit us perfectly.
We came in with almost no dance experience, and what felt intimidating to us both quickly became accessible and fun thanks to Erin’s guidance. She took two beginners and gave us the confidence to shine on the dance floor. By the time our big day arrived, we weren’t just “getting through” the dance — we were truly enjoying it.
Even though we started lessons so we could prepare for our wedding first dance, we’ve decided to keep going because Erin has turned it into one of our favorite date nights! If you’re looking for someone who can transform nerves into confidence and make your special moment shine, Erin is the one.

elivered truly perfect lessons. Our lessons were so much fun and she even walked us through practicing our first kiss and the “dip.” Our wedding dance was better than we could have hoped all thanks to Erin!! We were even able to incorporate many of the dance moves into our last dance of the night. From the very start, Erin listened to our vision, our song, and created a plan that worked for us. She truly does customize each lesson to each client.

ore! She helped us figure out what would be best for our first dance. We wanted to do something more than just your “middle school sway” without any sort of obvious choreography. She was able to achieve just that and even made it feel like three little date nights for us. She even helped us achieve the perfect “aisle dip” for the big day! We highly recommend working with Erin for your wedding!

e took the time to truly understand our vision, thoughtfully customizing our first dance song and even choreographing a playful yet elegant reception entrance. What she created for us was more than just choreography — it was a dance that felt polished and graceful while still perfectly reflecting who we are as a couple. Every step of the way, Erin went above and beyond to ensure we felt confident and comfortable on the dance floor. On our wedding day, we didn’t just dance — we told our story, and it was magical.

azing!!! Erin listened to exactly what we wanted and customized our dances to what felt like us. She truly cared so much about our dances and making sure we always felt comfortable and happy, and always helped us remember the steps too (haha). The dance lessons were also so much fun, we were always laughing while we were there and truly had the best time.
We were also super busy leading up to the wedding, and Erin was very accommodating (and patient) in scheduling our lessons!
Thank you for making our first dance, last dance, and father/daughter dances so memorable. Thank you for caring so much about our big day, and for taking the time to create these special moments that we will never forget. We are so happy we worked with Erin and we totally recommend to any couple wanting dance lessons for their wedding!!!❤️

we required, gave us so much feedback and encouragement to step out of our comfort zone. Most of all she listened to us and didn’t try to change our minds on what we wanted. If you’re looking for an amazing, friendly and committed instructor then look no further. We cannot wait to work with Erin again and learn new dances.
