Sierra was/is a pleasure to see on a monthly basis.
My now husband and I have been going to her studio for the last two years, and we will continue our lessons.
Sierra choreographed a beautiful, simple, elegant, first dance for our wedding and we couldn’t be more pleased with the outcome.
She took our 4 left feet, and made them a matching pair that worked together.
Sierra is so patient and kind, we all laugh and enjoy ourselves, the lesson goes by in a flash.
My husband and I enjoy ourselves so much, that we are going to continue now that the wedding is in the past.
Give her and the studio a chance, you wont be disappointed!

My husband and I loved working with Julissa who created the choreography for our first dance! She’s an incredible dancer and patient instructor (we needed that 😊), and we’ll miss spending our weekly lessons together. We did 20 lessons which we felt allowed us to go at a very slow and manageable pace, and lessons never got boring or dull. So much to learn with so little time! Highly recommend Julissa, Sierra, and the entire crew at Dance FX!

My now husband and I recently took dance lessons for our wedding and we're so happy that we did. We came to Dance FX a little late in the game (just 3 weeks from our wedding date) and Sierra gave us the best, 5-class crash course. The lessons were exactly what we needed to prepare for our first dance and Sierra made it so easy and fun! We even looked forward to our lessons each week, which we didn't expect amongst all the stress of planning our wedding. :) We will never forget the experience and can't recommend this studio and program enough!

My husband and I have had a wonderful experience with Dance FX! We wanted an elaborate and fun first dance, and they totally delivered. Taloa and Sierra are both extremely knowledgable and talented dancers who do a fabulous job of teaching. They are also professional and fun. We can't wait to perform our first dance at our rescheduled wedding next summer (thanks, COVID) and continue to take lessons from Dance FX! We would highly recommend Dance FX for any type of dance, but especially a choreographed first dance!

If you are on the fence about taking dance lessons- just do it, you will not regret it. My fiance and I absolutely loved having a choreographed dance for our wedding, but even more important we had the time of our life learning new moves and working with the friendly and fun staff! Our dance rehersal date nights were our favorite night of the week, always laughing, learning and trying to memorize the footwork! I can't recommend Dance FX Studios enough!!

I give this place a 5 star for a reason. My husband and I had a venue for our wedding set and we noticed there was a dance studio near the venue. My mother-in-law and her husband enrolled into some classes and shared their experience with us. My husband and I enrolled and we had a personal dance teacher named Sierra. She helped create our dance choreography to our song we picked. Everyone at our wedding loved the dance we had performed and now my husband and I scheduled more dance classes to give us as a couple a hobby. I recommend anyone to go sign up and learn how to dance!

This place was super awesome! Our instructor was so kind and helped us create the perfect dance! She worked so well with us, cheered us on the whole time, and was super flexible, especially because we had crazy schedules. I would definitely do it all again if I could!

We hired Dance FX studios on a whim 2 weeks before our wedding. We paid for a 10-session package and they found time to squeeze us into sessions to get us trained in time. My wife and I had zero dance experience going into the lessons, but by the end of it we were MUCH more comfortable for the wedding. They trained us on two choreographed dances in that limited time! It was amazing! By the time the wedding came along, we did fantastically, and even led dances with our parents! The price was a bit high (at about $100 per 1-hour session) but it did the job. Recommended.

We did a non-traditional upbeat swing dance to our favorite country song. Our teachers and choreographers were Kelsey and Naomi and they were both great. I get the feeling that Naomi has been doing it longer because she would point out things that Kelsey would miss. We were a lot better than we thought we were and so we got our dance down really quickly. We bought the 20 lessons package, way overpriced, and way unnecessary for us because we learned so quickly. We had a lot of wasted time towards the end, and they wanted to teach us new dances and we really weren't all that interested. We just had time to waste that we pre-paid for and they wanted to help us use our time wisely. The owners were very rude, Nicole and Adam. Very quick to judge, didn't want anyone else's opinion, and really were intimidating in an unpleasant way. I tried to email our teachers after the fact and Nicole emailed back saying thank you. I wanted to make sure she passed along the message, but I doubt she did. I didn't send the email to her, so I don't know why she responded. It feels like the environment is a very controlled environment set by Nicole and Adam. I am just glad we didn't have to deal with them that often. Our dance was incredible though and everyone loved it, so I grateful for that.

I am so happy that your first dance was fabulous, as I mentioned in the email reply that I...
sent you after receiving your note for Kelsey and Naomi. I am the only one who has access to my company's email, but I was very proud to share it with the staff in the meeting we had that morning. Your kind words about your experience at our studio made all of us very happy and excited for you.
I am, though, sincerely disheartened by your comments about me and Adam. I personally took you for your wedding consultation back in May, and we had a great time. You wanted a fun "out-of-the-box" first dance, and a 20-hour package is the perfect amount of time for most couples to get the look that you were wanting, with five months to prepare-especially with Swing as your dance.
Since we met, I only saw you one other time at the studio, after your first dance was complete. I was so impressed by your dance that I asked if we could put you on our website. Other than that, I don't believe we have seen each other. Your opinion is very valuable to me and my company, so I would like to know if you have specific feedback that you can email to me personally. I welcome it so that we can understand where you are coming from better, and not repeat any negative behavior in the future. My email address is the same as the one that you sent the pictures to, info@dancefxstudios.com .

DanceFX did a good job choreographing our first dance. I was happy with the end result and my husband and I had fun practicing inbetween lessons. However, it wasn't very exciting of a dance...same pattern repeated 3 times with 2 dips at the end. (As a disclaimer, we only took 10 lessons so they tried to keep it simple even though we were convinced we could do more).

Rachel was a great dance instructor! We always had fun when we went to our lessons and of course we learned a lot. She choreographed our first dance, which was an eleborate swing song. My husband went into the lessons with no rythm and by the time we performed the dance at our wedding reception all of our guests were amazed and thought we did a great job.

Nicole, Adam and Aimee are outstanding! My fiancé (at the time) and I went to Dance FX for private lessons for our wedding. The entire Dance FX team were not only professional and courteous, but did everything possible to make learning the “first dance” while planning a wedding a very fun and non stressful event. They accommodated our personal needs while preparing us for our first dance together. My husband and I plan to attend more events and lessons and Dance FX because our dance lessons were not only fun part of a stressful event, but after we were finished we realized how much we missed the atmosphere and energy of the team and enjoyed learning how to dance.

I was very happy with our first dance. I give the credit to Dance FX. Adam helped us learn a perfect dance for us to dance to for our first song. I can't wait to see the video of it.

We envisioned doing a first dance that was elegant, fun, and easy. Neither me nor my fiance dance. And, Adam was such a fun instructor and gave us exactly what we wanted! Once we chose our song, each lesson got us closer and closer to a beautiful performance! We felt very well prepared to 'show off' at our wedding! :)

We loved the dance instructor we had initially. And then half way through our lessons she moved with very short notice! The main insructor that stepped in was good. He was not trained on both styles of dance that was in our routine though. The other instructor that stepped in was horrible. He had no sense of respect or customer service! He definitely was a diva struggling with his own masculinity.
