We wanted to have a choreographed first dance for our wedding and I am so glad we found Kiersten at Dance Edge to help us with that. Not only was she the sweetest person on earth, but she is so unbelievably patient and professional. My husband and I cannot dance whatsoever, but Kiersten took it slow and after just five sessions, we had the most beautiful dance down to a T. On the wedding day, we messed up twice and nobody even noticed- we got nothing by compliments from our guests and vendors. If you're hesitant on doing a choreographed first dance, just do it. It may seem like a silly expense when you're spending so much money on everything else, but I promise you will not regret it. We treated each lesson like a fun little date night and it made for a relaxing break between the wedding planning chaos.

10/10! We can't recommend Dance Edge enough! My partner and I had such an incredible experience learning a dance for our wedding this May!
Jeff and Mia are absolutely wonderful! We are very beginner level and just wanted to learn a couple easy moves to impress our friends and family on our big day. However, regardless of dance experience, Dance Edge is the place to go!
Jeff and Mia made us feel so comfortable and taught us a few dances we can use for a lifetime. The studio space is amazing and is such a great date night! You can also participate in larger dance events on the weekend that we can't wait to join!
THANK YOU JEFF & MIA!!!! xoxo

Jeff and every single person at Dance Edge are to thank for our amazing first dance! My husband and I didn't want to follow the traditional slow first dance. We wanted an upbeat fun choreographed dance. My husband had no prior dance knowledge and Jeff took so much time to make sure he was comfortable with the basics. Our first dance blew everyone away and we had so much fun doing this as a couple. We can't recommend Dance Edge enough!

David did an abosolute fantastic job from start to finish on our first dance lessons. From the start he worked with us to see where we were, what we wanted out of it and anything else important for the dance. Already by the end of the first lesson had he come up with some of the steps and taught us the beginning. During our lessons he did a great job teaching us the whole thing and helping us improve our dancing abilites at the same time. We had a fun time learning with him, would definetely recommend to other couples or anyone would is looking to start dancing!

Natalya and Jeff did an incredible job teaching us multiple styles of dance for our wedding. Due to postponing our 2020 wedding, we had extra time to learn, which really helped us grow in our skills, gave us time to trust each other as partners, and master our first dance! We learned roomba and salsa for the wedding, but also got experience in cha cha and bachata. The instructors were very patient and even did some 1:1 lessons with each of us individually to help us grow faster. It worked really well. Their studio had a fun learning environment and introduced us to a new hobby we now will have post-wedding! If you are thinking about doing lessons for your wedding, I highly recommend Dance Edge. Also it’s never too early to start practicing!

Book Dance Edge for your first dance lessons!! We had the pleasure of working with Natalya for our dance lessons for our first dance. She was so patient with us and choreographed and fantastic first dance for my husband and I. She gave us so much incredible content for our first dance and helped us with making sure we were understanding and doing the steps appropriately. She was always easy to get ahold of and went out of her way to make herself available to us for lessons as our availability was limited and at random times. If we needed help she would always respond to texts or allow us to send a video to help us get the steps correct. The lessons definitely paid off! Our first dance was amazing and everyone was blown away by our dance! We highly recommend taking dance lessons at dance edge and working with Natalya! We hope to take more lessons with her in the future because it is so much fun and she is so so nice!!

Highly recommend working with Natalya before your wedding. She was amazing, great energy, and so patient with us. We did the introduction package and one additional class with the hopes to just get a few moves under our belt for our first dance! We got SO many compliments on what she put together for us. And the classes were so much fun! My husband and his mom also did a lesson for their mother-son dance and had a lot of fun and learned a lot. Love Dance Edge and Natalya!!

My fiance and I only took 7 lessons and to see the improvement made in that short a time is phenomenal! Natalya is seriously so sweet and patient and talented (she choreographed our entire first dance!!) and Jeff did such a great job explaining techniques to help perfect the foundation Natalya laid for us. No regrets and we will forever recommend this place to people!

We worked with Jeffrey on our first dance for our wedding. My only regret is that we didn't start sooner! We didn't want to look like we were at junior prom, but didn't want anything overly complicated, either. Jeffrey showed up some basic, elegant steps and movements that we could combine into a full dance. He was so patient, professional, and knowledgeable, and truly a joy to work with. He explained things in a way that made sense to me, a former theatre major, but also to my husband who has never done any kind of performance at all. He also showed us how we can use what we learned to dance to any song at any event, so it was a great investment! We would recommend Dance Edge to any couple looking to make their first dance special!

I took dance lessons at DanceEdge so that I could feel comfortable on the floor at a wedding this summer. The teachers are very knowledgeable and kind and can help you reach any dance goals you might have. The studio is very clean and has a great atmosphere. I would recommend this studio 100%!

Jeff is such an amazing job with both my Father/Bride dance and the Bride/Groom dance! I knew I wanted something extra special and Jeff went above and beyond. I had guests from our wedding both crying and cheering. One guest even told me it was his favorite part of the ENTIRE WEDDING and that our wedding dance was ballroom dancing goals. Thank you Jeff for making our dreams come true and we can't wait to share our video!

Natalya was amazing! We booked our classes with only a couple weeks to go before our wedding. She was super knowledgeable and timely. She fit everything that we wanted to learn into the short window that we had! Also, it was a great experience to have with my (now) husband. We had so much fun!

If I could give more than five stars I would! I signed my fiancé and I up for the wedding dance lessons with Natalya. We showed up to our first lesson as complete beginners and my fiancé was super nervous to say the least. We ended up having so much fun at our first two lessons that we signed up for five more and were able to nail our five minute long wedding dance! Natalya choreographed such a great dance for us and made us feel so at ease while learning! She’s patient and so helpful. These lessons were such a great date night each week leading up to our wedding and our wedding guest LOVED the dance! It set such a perfect tone for the evening and it’s something we will cherish and remember forever! Everyone at Dance Edge is so nice and welcoming, book lessons here, you will be so happy you did! We will definitely be back for more for fun date nights in the future. Thank you Dance Edge and thank you Natalya you are THE BEST!

We purchased a wedding package with Dance Edge and ended up enjoying our lessons so much that we purchased 2 additional lessons to go on top of it. Natalya, our instructor, was AMAZING! I don't think it's easy to be good at what you do and to be able to be a humble teacher for that craft, but Natalya managed to do it. She was patient, kind, an absolutely stunning dancer, and such a great teacher. We loved our lessons with her and got so many compliments on our first dance thanks to her expertise. Getting the dance lessons was also such a great time for us to bond before the wedding, it was so fun to try a new thing together!

Worked with Jeff at Dance Edge to prepare for our wedding and could not have possible made a better decision. He spent a lot of time with us and choreographed an amazing routine that fit our personalities and song choice perfectly. It was so good and so much fun that we've continued to take lessons and even compete after the wedding was over! We would highly, highly recommend Dance Edge to anyone.

My dad signed us up for dance lessons with Jeffrey for our upcoming wedding and he was absolutely amazing! Both my parents and my soon to be in-laws joined us and we all agreed that he was an excellent instructor. We had very little dancing experience and Jeffrey made us feel very comfortable. His instructions were easy to understand and encouraging. He asked us our opinion several times and really tailored the lesson to our needs. He talked us through a lot of the wedding dance etiquette that we did not know. We highly recommend Dance Edge!

Jeff took my son and his bride from not-interested-in-having-dance-lessons to being SO impressed at how Jeff made it look so elegant yet so easy. He taught us three dances: bride/groom, father/daughter and mother/son. He created an experience for our wedding guests, from the way we had a beginning, middle and end to the dance, like telling a story. Jeff is a gifted teacher and my son and daughter-in-law were very grateful for this experience.

I just got married last weekend and I was really nervous about our first dance. My husband and I have two left feet. I just wanted someone to help choreograph our first dance. Natalya was amazing. she made us feel super comfortable and was really good at explaining every step with us. We had 2 private lessons and we left as dancers. We practiced every night the month before the wedding, my husband says our best dance was our first dance. It was also something really fun to do together in the busy month leading up to our wedding. I never imagined my now husband would have even agreed to dance classes, but we really enjoyed them.
