Yulia is an absolutely fantastic dance instructor. Prior to Yulia, I had no dance experience and two left feet. My wife and I booked lessons with Yulia for our wedding expecting just some basic moves so we didn’t awkwardly do “the waddle” for 3 minutes in front of our guests. Yulia ended up instructing us on an entire choreographed dance and a “stress test” in front of other couples soon to be married. We were fully prepared and confident for our dance on the big day. 11/10 I could not recommend her more.

Yulia is simply phenomenal! I had some dance experience, while my husband had none. After five lessons, we were gliding across the floor with beautiful waltz steps, lifts and spins. We absolutely loved our choreography, which felt very “us”, but the best part was just spending time with Yulia, who made these lessons feel so special and personal. Being around her felt like magic. And it was really fun to learn something together and get hyped up for our wedding day. Now, we can dance our first dance whenever, wherever we want - what a sweet memento!

Yuliya is an amazing dance teacher who made preparing for our father-daughter dance a truly fun and enjoyable experience. Her patience, kindness, and approachable style put us at ease from the very first lesson. Each session was relaxed and focused, and she ensured we felt confident, well-prepared, and excited to share our dance on the big day. I couldn’t recommend her more highly!

Working with Yulia to choreograph our first dance for our wedding was fantastic. She is fun, energetic and makes the whole experience comfortable. The dance she created was beautiful and she even had us doing lifts! It was one of our favorite experiences of wedding planning and would recommend to anyone who is looking to do a choreographed first dance. Thank you Yulia!!

Yulia did an absolutely amazing job teaching us our first dance! It made everything about our dance special and we enjoyed learning, practicing, and performing it all the way up to the wedding. She personalized the entire dance around us and made sure we loved every part of it. She is such a sweet person and we cannot recommend her more!

My husband Joshua and I loved taking lessons with Yulia for our wedding so much. I grew up dancing so I had some knowledge but it had been a long time since I danced in front of people. My husband has no dancing experience at all, so the two of us were basically starting from scratch. Yulia was incredibly kind and talented and we loved every second we spent with her! We seriously wish we could keep taking lessons with her every week because the experience was just so fun. If you’re looking for an instructor to help nail down your first dance song, I 1000% recommend you book with Yulia. You’ll have the best time and your dance will come out beautifully!

I came into Yulia’s class with no dancing experience other than watching dancing with the stars. In 3 classes she was able to teach my fiance and I a perfect routine for our first dance. She is great to work with and you can tell she is a fantastic dancer. She hadn’t heard our first dance song before and after listening to it one time she was able to choreograph us a routine that fit to the music. I would definitely recommend this class to anyone who wants to stand out at their wedding. Yulia followed up after our wedding to check on how the dance went, she really cares about her customers.

Do yourself a favor and book wedding dance lessons with Yulia! We had the absolute pleasure of working with her to choreograph our wedding dance, and we couldn’t be happier with the results. Yulia is talented, kind, fun, and an excellent teacher – she listened to us when there were a few things we wanted to tweak and gave us pointers to improve. On our wedding day, our first dance was a huge success, and we received so many compliments from our guests. If you’re looking for a wedding dance teacher who is genuinely invested in making your first dance unforgettable, look no further than Yulia at Dance Stream Studio.

My husband and I just got married this past weekend, and had taken 5 classes with Yulia to prepare our first dance. We are both the last people anyone would expect to pull off any sort of coordinated dance. Yulia helped us get the basics down and create a beautiful dance to our first song without any judgement. We had a lot of rough patches in the process but by the last lesson we were doing our dance comfortably. The first dance at our wedding was so fun not only due to the element of surprise (you can hear in the video people roaring as they realize we actually know what we are doing) but also the fact that we were so well rehearsed it all came naturally and we could really have fun doing it. Our photographer said it was the best first dance he had seen in his years of working. I would 100% reccomend taking lessons with Yulia to add that extra something special to your day!!

One of the best experiences we had during our wedding prep! Get ready to work because Yulia isn't going to let you slack off! A fantastic instructor who is upbeat, understanding and really cares. The couples' dance lesson was incredibly helpful and prepared us to do the real thing. Couldn't be more happy or thankful! Thanks Yulia!

We had the absolute pleasure of working with Yulia for our wedding dance, and we couldn't be happier with the experience. From the very first lesson, Yulia's kindness and expertise put us at ease, making what initially seemed like a daunting task into something truly enjoyable. She was incredibly accommodating, allowing us to create the first dance of our dreams, and she worked with us every step of the way to exceed our expectations.
What really stood out was Yulia's ability to tailor the lessons to our unique needs. Not only did she transform the groom, who would self-describe as having two left feet, but she also incorporated a few beautiful spins and even a Viennese waltz into our dance. We were able to complete our first dance in just two weeks—a feat we never thought possible! Yulia's patience, creativity, and skill were evident in every session, and she made sure we felt confident and excited for our big day.
We can't recommend Yulia highly enough! If you're looking for a dance instructor who is not only capable but also genuinely invested in making your first dance unforgettable, look no further. Thank you, Yulia, for helping us create a moment we'll cherish forever!

Yulia, was nothing but amazing! We spent a few lessons with Yulia and felt very confident going into our wedding day.
Yulia was great about listening to what we wanted, while bringing great ideas for our first dance. This made us feel even more confident in our dance.
If you are looking for some help with your first dance. We would recommend!

Yulia was a huuuuge help in teaching my now husband and I how to dance for our big day! We went in with no experience about a month out from our wedding. She choreographed an entire dance for us in 3 lessons and squeezed us in to help us nail all the moves. I personally am not a great dancer and was nervous about some of the moves, but Yulia choreographed something that felt like us without being too complicated. Definitely book her!

We absolutely love Yulia. We first learned about her from two friends. At their wedding we were blown away by their first dance, and asked how they learned it. They recommended Yulia, and the rest is history.
Yulia turned my now-husband and me into dancers after just a lesson or two. She was so supportive as we were choosing between two possible songs for our first dance, and helped us see how both of them could work beautifully. After we decided, she choreographed and taught us an impressive dance quickly, and gave us ample time to practice, get feedback, and practice some more. She also hosted a session for couples getting married in the same month, and we had a blast practicing our dances in front of each other. We went into our wedding reception feeling confident and excited -- and we received rave reviews from our guests :)
Yulia is compassionate, supportive, and connected to her dance students. We hope to get to work with her again!

From the moment I first spoke to Yulia, I knew we were in the hands of a truly exceptional choreographer. As we prepared for our wedding, our first dance was something we wanted to be perfect, and Yulia not only met but exceeded every expectation we had.
Her talent and professionalism were evident from the very first lesson. She took the time to understand our vision, skill level, and personalities, creating a dance that was uniquely ours. Yulia’s ability to break down complex steps into manageable pieces made learning enjoyable and stress-free. Her patience and encouragement turned what could have been a daunting process into one of our favorite parts of wedding planning.
Yulia's dedication went beyond just teaching us the steps. She truly cared about us as a couple, ensuring that our dance reflected our love story. Her warmth, enthusiasm, and genuine interest in our journey made each session feel like we were spending time with a close friend. She wasn’t just our dance instructor; she became like family to us.
One of the highlights of our experience was when we decided to bring our parents in for a class to help warm them up before the wedding. Yulia was wonderful with them, making them feel comfortable and confident on the dance floor. Even our parents, who were initially hesitant, ended up loving the experience so much. It was such a joy to see them have fun and share in the excitement of our upcoming wedding.
The day of our wedding, our first dance was everything we dreamed it would be. We received countless compliments from our guests, and we owe it all to Yulia's incredible skill and guidance. Her choreography was not only beautiful but also tailored perfectly to our song and style. We will forever cherish the memories of those lessons and the joy we felt dancing together.
We cannot recommend Yulia highly enough to any couple looking to create a magical first dance. Her expertise, kindness, and passion for dance made a significant impact on our wedding experience. We will miss our lessons with her dearly but are grateful for the beautiful dance she helped us create. Thank you, Yulia, for making our special day even more unforgettable.
With heartfelt gratitude,
Matt & Rachel ❤️

When my wife and I came to Yulia we had no dance experience so needless to say, we required a lot of work. In just a few short lessons Yulia was able to put together a stunning sequence for us that flowed perfectly with our wedding song. Thank you for your patience and for being an excellent instructor!

We made the best decision by going to Yulia at Dance Stream Studio for our wedding dance choreography. With her patience, professionalism, and attention to detail, she helped us create a dance routine that was truly magical.
Throughout the entire process, she demonstrated her creativity and expertise, and she went above and beyond to ensure that we felt comfortable, confident, and most importantly, having fun! Thanks to her guidance and support, our wedding dance was a huge success and one of the most memorable moments of our special day.
I also went to Yulia for my father-daughter dance. It was such a joy to share this experience and have Yulia create lasting memories for us.
I cannot recommend Yulia highly enough. She is a true inspiration and a testament to the power of hard work, dedication, and passion. Thank you for everything!

Yulia was absolutely amazing to work with leading up to our big day! My now husband was very nervous about having to do our first dance, as dancing is not his strong suit! In just a matter of a few classes we were walking out with a beautiful dance! I had many people come up to me at my wedding to ask how we had prepared so well. It was truly thanks to Yulia and her encouragement. Her guidance and fun humor made it such a wonderful experience and I could not recommend Dance Stream Studios more if you are looking for help with your wedding dance!!

Yulia is the best!! We had never taken dance lessons before and are so thankful we did for our wedding. We were very nervous about our first dance song and wanted a "plan" for it since it can be a faster song at times. Yulia choreographed the perfect dance for us and even convinced us to incorporate a lift- which I was very nervous about at first. We felt so comfortable and confident going into our wedding. Yulia even has her couples dance in front of each other to prepare for the big day. She is wonderful! I even took a dance lesson with my Dad in preparation for our father daughter dance which was extremely helpful (especially for the emotions!)

Yulia is absolutely AMAZING and makes your first dance such a wonderful highlight of your wedding! Neither my husband nor I grew up dancing so we decided to work with a dance teacher to choreograph our first dance. We found Yulia on the Knot as well. Dance lessons and our first dance performance were arguably the most fun aspects of the entire wedding process! My husband is Yulia's biggest fan and he looked forward to our lessons each week. Our guests were absolutely blown away by our dance with many telling us it was the very best first dance they've ever seen! We only took 4 lessons with Yulia and she managed to make us feel confident, calm and completely prepared. She was our first text the morning after our wedding sending her the video proudly showing her how it went and thanking her profusely! We recommend Yulia to any bride and groom who will listen!

Yulia choreographed our first dance for our wedding, and it was an absolutely amazing experience. Not only did the dance turn out incredible (and made for some great photos!), but it was so much fun to work with Yulia. When we first signed up for dance lessons, we saw it as a chore...but after our first lesson, my husband and I looked forward to our weekly visits with Yulia! I can't believe how many dips and lifts she taught us... and that she got us comfortable doing them in front of other people. I could not recommend more highly, Yulia is fantastic!

My husband and I were nervous about dancing at first since we had never really danced together before, but we had so much fun going to each lesson and looked forward to it each week!
Yulia is such a talented, patient and kind instructor. She makes sure to customize each dance so that it suits the music AND the couple. After 5 lessons, and a dress rehearsal in front of a small group, we left feeling confident in our dancing and our guests were very impressed with our first dance during our reception.

Yulia was one of the most precious humans I've met in my life. When my fiancé now husband found her online to be our instructor, I wasn't sure if Yulia could deal with us - my husband is a very stiff person who doesn't enjoy ballroom dancing and I am the opposite, I love dancing so much. But Yulia aced the game right from the start, she was able to make my husband feel at ease and she choreographed something very unique for us despite our song wasn't a very typical First Dance Song. Not only that, she was also pregnant the whole time when she was coaching us, this woman was incredible!

Yulia was absolutely amazing from start to finish. We went into the lesson hoping for some general tips for our first dance, and we ended up walking out with a beautiful, fully choreographed dance that Yulia masterfully created on the spot. We couldn’t have been happier with our dance, and it was a huge hit at our wedding that also provided us with some incredible pictures from our big day. Yulia made this such a wonderful experience and we loved getting to know her. 10 stars all around. We might sign up for more lessons just for fun!

Yulia and Andrew were absolutely wonderful! Extremely knowledgeable, patient, warm and humorous. We treated each lesson as a date. We walked away with an awesome choreography, and we had a great time doing it. The choreography was memorable and a souvenir in itself - I’m happy that we can recreate that moment with “our song” for years to come.
We received a lot of compliments from our guests. Someone said we looked like we were on Dancing with the Stars 🤣.
Thanks so much Yulia and Andrew!!! We are so grateful that you were part of our journey. I highly recommend!

Yulia is THE BEST! We had never danced before, but just one lesson in, we had already choreographed a significant portion of the dance with some dips and spins. It's incredible how she comes up with the moves on the fly - and it all turned out better than we ever could have imagined! Yulia strikes a very nice balance between making sure you are polished, but recognizing that you are amateur dancers and prioritizing comfort and having fun on the day of. She will go above and beyond to make sure that you know it perfectly before dancing on the big day - she even asked her students to stay late after classes to help us practice in front of a crowd. We couldn't have worked with someone better than Yulia

She does a great job making you feel confident and lightens every class with laughs. Her talent and ability to choreograph a dance after just hearing our song once was thoroughly impressive.

Yulia made our first dance journey truly unforgettable. Her expertise and passion for dance were evident from the start, and we knew we were in capable hands. Her patience and encouragement were invaluable as we went from dance novices to gracefully performing a coordinated routine. Her talent for breaking down complex moves into manageable parts allowed us to progress at a pace that suited us. Beyond the dance floor, the time we spent with Yulia was filled with laughter and joy. Her positive energy and enthusiasm were contagious, making each lesson a delightful experience.
On our wedding day, our first dance was a bright moment that we'll cherish forever. We cannot recommend Yulia enough as a dance teacher. Her exceptional teaching style, coupled with her genuine care for her students, make her an outstanding choice for anyone looking to create a beautiful and memorable wedding first dance. Again, we wholeheartedly recommend her as a dance teacher and are forever grateful for her contribution to our special day.

Yulia was amazing! My husband (fiancé at the time :P) and I went for our first lesson three weeks before our wedding. We did our second two weeks before our wedding. We were blown away by how amazing Yulia was. We are not dancers at all and learned sooo much from Yulia in such a short period of time. She broke everything up into bite size pieces and we did not feel overwhelmed at all. We 100% recommend her. She was amazing and helped us feel so comfortable facing on our wedding day.

If you are thinking of taking wedding dance lessons, your search ends here!!! I cannot rave enough about Yulia. My husband and I are not the best dancers, so the idea of 130 people watching us dance for a couple of minutes made us nervous. At the same time, we weren’t totally sold on lessons, because we wanted our dance to still feel like us and not feel too choreographed. Yulia crafted a first dance for us that fit the bill. Our first dance was so beautiful and was something I’ll never forget. She incorporated a few dips and even a lift - something we never thought we’d do, and it was so so perfect. We loved it, our guests loved it, and it was a talking point throughout the whole night. Not to mention, the lessons were so fun! Every week I always looked forward to our lessons. Thank you Yulia!!!

Come to Yulia for all of your wedding dance needs! We did a more non-traditional first dance to Havana and she put together an amazing routine. While I have danced before, my now husband never had- and she worked her magic to create the perfect routine for both of us. She even made it work with our timeline of when we would be visiting from NYC to plan our wedding on the Cape. She also choreographed my father daughter dance. If you have never danced before- or you are an expert and want some wonderful choreography- she can do it all. Yulia is incredible- we love her so much and I wouldn't dream of doing our wedding dances with anyone else. I can confirm, these were crowd pleasers at our wedding as well <3

Yulia was so amazing instructor - creative, patient, high-energy. We did a 5-lesson (and added 1 final) for a rather upbeat Beyonce song and she choreographed an amazing routine that left our guests wowed. This was the most fun part of our wedding planning and we were paced very well so never felt overwhelmed.

Yulia is a phenomenal instructor. My husband and I were unsure of what to expect of dance lessons, but she made the experience seamless and joyful. When I was initially looking for wedding dance instructors, I noticed how rave her reviews were, and that they all touched upon Yulia's personability and her gifts as a teacher. The reviews are so well-deserved; she's just plain terrific.
My husband and I are both low-key people, and were a little ambivalent about the idea of taking lessons at all—and uneasy at the thought of being in the spotlight for a first dance.
But in addition to preparing our steps and choreography, Yulia mentally prepared us and talked us through the process. She's so experienced in working with weddings and couples, and we had a range of pleasant conversations throughout our lessons where she gave some practical tips about how to navigate different aspects of the day, and the dance itself.
After just a couple of lessons, she understood our personalities and our dynamic well enough to reflect it with the dance choreography. She knew when to scaffold, as an instructor, and when to step back and let us figure things out on our own. We wanted an old and slow Neil Young song, and she was able to build a dance that felt connected to the song's lyrics, and also reflected us as a couple. She eventually built in some challenge, which allowed us to take on some footwork/spins/etc. without ever getting into splashy territory.
She was personable and positive throughout the entire process, and our dance lessons became this incredible anchor leading into the wedding itself. Dancing around the kitchen, to practice between sessions, is one of my most cherished memories of the days and weeks leading into September.
And the dance did, ultimately, become one of my favorite wedding memories as well. I felt deeply connected to my husband during the dance itself, and able to tune out everything around us, because we'd simply practiced so much. We took Yulia's suggestion of inviting people to join us towards the tail end of the song—which someone managed to capture on video. It was incredibly sweet to have everyone gather around us, and it felt organic; it also immediately opened up the dance floor for the rest of the night. (And the dance floor stayed filled.)
This review is incredibly overdue, but Yulia deserves all of her rave reviews...she's the best!

ONE MILLION STARS!!!!!!!!! If you are a person who reads reviews and is trying to research the best dance instructor, look no further because Yulia is it! Yulia is absolutely AMAZING. My fiancé and I decided to get lessons before our wedding. Mainly because dancing is not my strength and I wanted to avoid having a panic attack before our first dance. Yulia spoke right to my heart. She is incredibly easy to work with and made the process so fun. She made me feel so comfortable and CONFIDENT with every dance move I learned. She also made sure the moves fit with our personalities which I thought was really helpful. I walked into the lesson hoping to learn the basic slow dance move with maybe a spin. Walked out of the lesson with a choreographed dance that involves multiple spins, a LIFT and two dips!! Anything that involves multiple steps for me is beyond confusing and she broke everything down and make it so easy for me to understand. I walked out of our last lesson so excited and I can’t wait to do our dance on our wedding day. She exceeded my expectations !!

First dance lessons with Yulia was one of the best decisions we made for our wedding. My husband and I weren't sure if we wanted to do lessons for our first dance, but after discussing, we decided it would help us to feel more comfortable dancing in front of everyone, since we both don't love being the center of attention. We did not anticipate having so much fun during rehearsals, and we especially did not think it would be our favorite part of our wedding, but it was! Yulia not only made us feel comfortable, she made it so enjoyable and special for the both of us. She got my husband to loosen up on the dance floor, and warm up to her after our first lesson. She told him he was one of her most improved students after just 5 lessons! Our guests were so impressed with our dance, everyone was one their feet and clapping on beat for us. Our first dance was so special and exhilirating, we will cherish it forever. Thanks so much Yuliya! Cannot recommend enough.

We had such a wonderful experience working with Yulia for our wedding dance! She is truly amazing at her craft and makes choreographing a dance routine look so effortless. From our first lesson, she made us feel very comfortable and gave us a lot of confidence. She planned our whole dance sequence beautifully and made it not only memorable for us as a couple, but for our wedding guests as well. We received a lot of compliments on our big day thanks to Yulia. She reminded us that we do so much for our guests on the big day, that our first dance routine was something for the both of us! All of the late-night dance lessons were so worth it. If you and your fiancé have thought about doing a choreographed dance routine, look no further than Yulia and Dance Stream Studio. We look forward to working with them again in the future. Truly the best!

We booked a package of private lessons with Yulia to choreograph our first dance for our wedding. We had a fun, upbeat song but didn't know what to do with it. Our time with Yulia turned out to be a true highlight of our wedding prep--intimate time that we could just spend together, get out a little anxiety, and have *fun!* The process had the potential to be awkward (as much as we love dancing, neither of us had ever done it in an organized/official way), but Yulia is such a sweet, easy-going, and light hearted person that the tension was immediately sucked out of the air when we first met her.
Yulia is such a natural at what she does. Each time we came in for a lesson, she had such fun ideas and continued to build out our dance in a way that felt true to our personalities, always making sure that we felt comfortable with the moves she was incorporating. The result was a truly show-stopping first dance and an absolute highlight of a lifetime--it is without a doubt the one detail of the day that our guests have remembered the most vividly.
If you're interested in a choreographed first dance but are nervous about the process, Yulia is absolutely your woman. If you book her (and, of course, practice along the way), you are guaranteed a first dance that you and your guests will remember for a lifetime. We could not recommend her enough.

Yulia is absolutely amazing to work with! Her teaching style is patient and collaborative. As beginners, Yulia brought us out of our comfort zone and taught us fundamentals that we will carry forward beyond our wedding. We’re so thankful for the potential Yulia saw in us and our guests were so overjoyed by seeing the dance she choreographed for us. If you’re looking for first dance lessons, look no further!

We found Yulia through the Knot so it is only fair we post a review! Yulia was easy to work with and quickly choreographed a dance for us that matched our personalities. She made our dance classes fun and easy. Our wedding guests LOVED our dance, too!

Yulia is a GEM! About two weeks before our wedding, my husband and I panicked over our first dance, and we scheduled a session with Yulia. In two classes, she taught us a routine that blew our guests away. She's incredibly easy to work with, makes the process fun, and never makes you feel like you have two left feet (even if you do!).

Taking classes with Yulia became a fun date night for us for the few months leading up to our wedding! We signed up for five classes, but Yulia was able to get us comfortable and confident with our dance in just three-four classes. She is a joy to work with, and really makes your dance unique to you, whether you want it simple or complex, long or short, she will give you many ideas and options. Thanks for all of your help Yulia!
