We worked with Bella for our first dance as well as some general dancing. Let me tell you it is sooooo worth the money. It is fun and kind of forces you to have active date nights. It is a great chance to just enjoy some time with your future spouse and not worry about wedding things. It made my fiancé feel so comfortable with dancing that now you can’t get him to stop! Bella was so patient with us and was able to break down what we were doing so that people with no dance experience can look like we know what we’re doing and have confidence dancing in front of hundreds of people. Highly highly recommend! We will be gifting dance lessons to all our engaged friends from now on.
We used Danse L’Amour for our wedding dance classes and were very happy with the process and the outcome! We opted for 5 classes and it worked out perfectly. I have a dance background and my husband does not, and our instructor Stephanie was able to adapt the dance to fit both of us. She taught us versatile dance moves, dips, and spins that we can use at future weddings too!
We cannot recommend Danse L’Amour and our incredible instructor, Kelly Sheehan, enough! Before our wedding, my husband had no idea what rhythm or following a beat even meant, and yet, with just ten lessons, Kelly transformed us into confident dancers. Her patience, creativity, and infectious energy made every session fun and productive.
I wanted our first dance to look choreographed but natural, without us constantly counting steps, and Kelly delivered exactly that. By the time our big day arrived, we felt like pros on the dance floor, completely in the moment and enjoying ourselves. We also learned much more than we ever expected. The experience was so great that we’re considering continuing lessons just for fun date nights!
Thank you, Kelly, for making our first dance unforgettable!
Any questions?
The team was responsive, professional, and clear from the start. It was easy to set up a brief inquiry call and proceed with booking lessons based on our needs. Our instructor, Stephanie, was an absolute angel! She was knowledgeable, kind, and patient with us. She was easy to communicate with and provided clear instruction. We had so much fun and were very confident going into our first dance, despite all the wedding-day chaos. Thanks, Stephanie!!
We wish there was a higher ranking beyond 5 stars. We had our wedding upcoming and reached out to Danse L’Amour. We were then paired with Jordana and we could not be more pleased with our experience. We had very little dance knowledge and she worked with us constantly to develop an amazing routine that we could pull off. Our first dance at our wedding will always be a memory we’ll cherish thanks to her.
We loved working with Steph to get ready for our first dance! I was surprised at how late Steph’s availability was. We typically reserved the 7-8PM spot after we got home from work, which was perfect during a busy month of wedding prep. The dance was choreographed specifically to our song - that was SO nice. I had thought it would be more, “Here is how to do generic turn and X Lift.
It was a fun way to lead up to the wedding and spend some time together! Steph made it so easy - and was always so sweet about listening to us. I had a bigger dress - and I would tell her “Ah - I dont know if I can do X lift” She would say, “let’s tweak it!” She made it perfect. Super easy.
We took classes at Academy Ballroom - something to be aware of is that it is a shared space. There will be other dancers and songs playing, but it didn’t interfere with our ability to learn our dance! All in all, I would recommend anyone to do this! Loved working with them and Steph!
We loved working with Laura from DansLamour for our June 2024 wedding! I have some background in ballet dance, but my husband is very new to any kind of dancing. We knew we wanted to have a choreographed first dance for the wedding and we knew we wanted to also just learn how to dance socially a bit more. Laura was AMAZING to work with, we did the 5 pack of dance classes and by the 4th lesson we knew the whole dance and got to just spend time practicing and feeling comfortable. Laura was great at explaining the dance moves and teaching us/giving us tips, she was very flexible with scheduling and easy to talk to! We loved how the dance turned out, and want to get more into ballroom/social dancing moving forward since the experience was so fun! We turned the dance lessons into a little date night every few weeks, which was so fun. Highly recommend DansLamour, their online booking system was streamlined, and their prices are very reasonable!
We worked with Jordana at the Buckhead dance studio in Atlanta. We had five sessions and were able to learn a completely original dance routine for our first dance. I love to dance, but I’m no professional. My husband barely likes to two-step, but Jordana made it so fun that by our fifth session he was swirling me around the room and nailing all the steps with comfort, ease, and enjoyment. Jordana was patient, kind, and had incredible energy. She listened to what we wanted, and made the whole experience so much fun.
If you’re planning a wedding, you know it can get pretty stressful. I can honestly say that dance lessons were my favorite part of the planning process. Not only did my husband and I get to learn a custom choreographed first dance that helped us to feel more comfortable on the dance floor, but it was also five incredible date nights where you get to learn a new skill, move your body, and let loose. I can’t recommend Jordana enough, she was sent to us straight from God! Thanks again for everything!
And on our wedding day we nailed it! Everyone loved it and was shocked at how well we tore up the dance floor!
If you’re considering booking dance lessons, I think you should definitely do it!
Our first dance couldn't have gone better! We loved our instructor, Stephanie, and felt super ready day-off. We did have a change of instructors after a few lessons. We were nervous for the transition of schedules. But after meeting Steph, we turned out to enjoy both experiences equally! We had a lot of fun working with Steph and looked forward to every class with her.
Stephanie in Atlanta was absolutely incredible! My husband and I used 7 lessons for our dance and my dad and I used 3 lessons for our father/daughter dance. Both were top notch. She made our dance lessons fun and she choreographed the most beautiful dance to our perfect song (First Day of My Life). It was so much better than we even thought it could be! Money well spent. Thank you Stephanie and Bella!!
We used Danse L’Amour Atlanta for our first dance choreography. We did four lessons and let the company know ahead of time what we were looking for and it was executed perfectly. Our dance instructor, Jordana, did such an amazing job with the choreography and overall tips and tricks. Not to mention she was super nice and patient! Our first dance was one of the highlights on wedding day and received so many compliments on it from guest saying it was one of the best first dances they have ever seen. Couldn’t recommend them enough!
My husband and I were so happy with our experience. We worked with Stephanie and she choreographed THE BEST first dance for our wedding. She was so engaging and fun! She was very patient with us as we were getting out of our comfort zones. She challenged us to get even more out of our comfort zones with different dance styles. She was seriously the best and we will always remember our experience being nothing short of amazing! Thank you Stephanie!
I cannot say enough good things about Stephanie! She was a wonderful instructor who was patient, encouraging and had us looking forward to each dance lesson. Not only did she choreograph a beautiful first dance, but she added a few styles to our arsenal for future dancing. We felt amazing during our first dance and received so many wonderful compliments. Thanks to Stephanie, we hope to take future classes together.
We did the Zoom sessions with Brittni and have been pleased with our dance! Sometimes it can be hard to understand what to do when you don’t have dancing experience but overall she was great at explaining the steps. I appreciate that she listened when we didn’t feel like a step worked for us and adjusted accordingly. The choreography is beautiful. We feel excited and confident to do the dance on our big day!
Stephanie was such a wonderful instructor and a joy to work with! Couldn’t recommend more!!
My fiancé and I had the best time doing dance lessons with Stephanie. We did 5 lessons and learned a choreographed routine that was a hit at our wedding! Can’t recommend Danse L’Amour enough!
Mary in Atlanta was such a great teacher and wonderful to work with for our first dance! She was so flexible with scheduling lessons, gave great feedback, listened to our input, and created a perfect edited version of our music. We did the 5 lesson package, and felt confident with our 3 min. choreography by the 4th and 5th sessions, even with my husband’s limited dancing experience/skills. Everyone loved our first dance!
We had a great time with Stephanie! She was amazing!! She was patient and gently with us. We enjoyed each lesson and learned so much from her.
Our dance turned out wonderful! Everyone loved it
My daughter and I signed up for lessons for our daddy-daughter dance for her wedding. We had a song picked out and Stephanie choreographed it for us and taught us the steps. We enjoyed the experience so much my wife and I then signed up for additional lessons.
We worked with Mary in Atlanta. She was absolutely incredible. My husband and I wanted a dance that felt fun and upbeat. Mary worked with us over the course of 6 lessons to choreograph an amazing routine that reflected who we are as a couple. She gave us personalized feedback and helped boost our confidence for the big day. She truly made all of our wedding dance dreams come true! For any other couples in the Atlanta area thinking about taking dance lessons before your wedding, run don't walk to Mary @ Danse L'Amour.
We took lessons for our first dance with Emily in NYC. The booking process was easy and we met Emily weekly at a studio in NYC. Emily was a fantastic teacher for us. Not only did she choregraph our dance in line with our respective skill levels, but she kept it fun for us and we really looked forward to our lesson each week. If a lift or step was too confusing for us, we pivoted to a new approach on the spot, which is a testament to Emily's expertise and knowledge. I would 100% recommend Emily and Danse L'Amour to family and friends-- the experience was excellent and everyone was impressed with our dance at the wedding. 10/10!
Mary was absolutely amazing. She took me who started with nerves & 2 left feet and made me look like a competent dancer. She was so helpful and patient the entire time and was a lot of fun to work with. She never made it serious and was always making us laugh, I highly recommend working with her.
Mary was absolutely amazing!! She was so patient with us (trust me when I say we both have 2 left feet!!) and taught us the most amazing, romantic first dance for our wedding that people are still talking about. Even when I was terrified of doing a dip, she worked with us until I felt comfortable and it turned out to be our favorite part of the dance. We had so much fun during our lessons that we even want to continue dance lessons post wedding with Mary!
Mary was so wonderful in helping us prepare for our first dance as a married couple! We took one lesson through her where she taught us basic but beautiful moves for a classy first dance. Everybody was so impressed and we had so much fun learning it! Thank you again Mary!!
We loved working with Shiloh on our first dance choreography and grand entrance! Her dance lessons were the best part of our wedding planning experience and was an outlet for us to get out of the house and relieve some stress. It was so much fun learning new techniques and dance terminology from her. Shiloh listened to our vision and incorporated key parts of our first dance song's lyrics into the choreography. She helped us record the last few sessions, was quick at responding to our messages, and provided helpful feedback. We loved how our first dance turned out so much that my husband and I now spontaneously dance to it for fun even after the wedding. We received so many compliments from our guests, and our videographer and photographer took so many good shots of the dance!! We couldn't recommend Shiloh from Danse L'Amour enough. You won't regret it!!
We took dance lessons with Mary ahead of our first dance. We got the 10 lesson package and Mary helped us choreograph a routine for a 3.5 minute song. I am a terrible dancer and Mary broke the routine down into easy, accessible parts and I had a great time! Everyone at our wedding loved our dance and kept complimenting us and the routine. We looked at a couple instructors who would have taught Zoom lessons and I am SO glad we went with Mary and Danse L’Amour.
First dance lessons with Brittni were a fully worthwhile investment for our wedding. First and foremost, our dance was gorgeous, totally us, and at the perfect level of do-able while also looking totally impressive and elegant. Our first dance song was so meaningful to us, and I couldn’t compare trying to make up moves or awkwardly swaying to how magical it was to really DANCE together! Start early - my husband and I are very beginner level, but the only struggle we encountered was that we both travel so much, it was hard to find time to practice between lessons. But Brittni really got us there and helped us enjoy every minute - it was also so fun to try something new as a couple as we prepared for our wedding.
We had the honor to work with and discover Bella as our first dance teacher for our wedding a little over a month ago. My now husband and I never really danced before so we were very nervous going into it but excited as well for this last part of the wedding planning. We had signed up for 5 lessons and it turned out to be sufficient for our dance routine because Bella crafted the perfect dance for us. We wanted to have a memorable, easy dance with some fun photo-worthy moments - and she made it happen! Not only was she super easy and comfortable to work with, she was the sweetest dance teacher we could ask for. Her friendliness and energy made the dance lessons very enjoyable. By the end of it, it was very bittersweet for us because it was the end of our journey with her. That said, we highly recommend Bella to be your first dance teacher! You will have both an amazing dance teacher and sweet friend to help support this stressful last part of the wedding preparation.
Shiloh is a fantastic and oh-so-patient Danes instructor and choreographer! She suggested shortening our song selection, came up with some great moves..given our skill set, and really coached us. I’d highly recommend her!
We cannot thank Bella enough for working with us in NYC. We chose to do 10 in-person classes, and it was well worth the investment! Not only were these lessons such a cute date night in preparation for the wedding, but it really helped our communication skills as a couple. Bella was super patient and encouraging with us. She always was in the best mood possible and was quick to offer help or whip up new moves if we couldn't nail down a specific trick.
What I loved most about Bella's choreography was that it was us! It felt so organic and classic like we had been dancing like this for years. It didn't feel staged. It really let our love for one another shine through.
Our first dance was our favorite moment of the night. We received so many compliments, and to this day, our guests talk about it. We still find ourselves dancing it at home. We cannot recommend Bella and Danse L'Amour enough to all of our friends getting married. It really is worth it.
We had so much fun with Mary at Danse L’Amour! My husband and I had not taken dance lessons before and we were so so nervous about our first dance at our wedding! Mary made us feel so comfortable and we just had so much fun, our first dance turned out awesome and we are thankful to have had lessons with Mary! Highly recommend, 10/10!
Thank you so much to Mary and the Danse L’Amour team for helping us put together the first wedding dance of our dreams!!! We wanted to take a few dance lessons so that we didn’t just stand on the dance floor and sway, but we didn’t want it to be so over choreographed that it seemed cheesy. Mary taught us basic moves that made us look like pros, and put together the perfect customized dance to our song of choice! Now my husband is saying he wants to take more dance lessons because he had so much fun and gained so much more confidence on the dance floor. Our best friends are getting married in 6 months and we are strongly encouraging them to take lessons with Danse L’Amour! Mary was always on time, flexible to reschedule or make it work with our schedule when things came up, and always so fun/happy to be around! We did the 5-class package and it was the perfect amount!
We worked with Mary at Danse L'Amour to help with our first dance for our wedding. She was extremely nice and easy to work with! We received a ton of compliments on our dance that night. It never felt overly complicated, and she did a good job making sure we were comfortable with each step we added to the dance.
My spouse and I are not the most comfortable or experienced dancers, but our instructor, Mary was absolutely phenomenal.
She worked with us to help us achieve exactly what we wanted while never pressuring us to go too far out of our comfort zone.
We were also amazed at how much she was able to help us in only a few sessions!
We had an incredible first dance that felt like us, and I’m so glad Mary was able to help us.
We signed up for a pack of ten while in Atlanta and so enjoyed each week meeting Mary and working on a killer 2-minute dance to one of our favorite rock songs. People were blown away by the dance at our wedding and all the moves were so distinctly us. When we had to fly back to Los Angeles, Mary met with us virtually for our final sessions as the wedding neared. She is incredible. Don't even think twice about it! BOOK IT!
Mary helped us with our first dance for our wedding day and she made it very easy for us to look like we actually knew what we were doing on the dance floor. She made us so comfortable and as a result all of our guests were impressed with our new found dance moves thanks to Mary!! Highly recommend!!
The dance lessons were by far my favorite part of prepping for the wedding. Mary immediately made us both feel so comfortable. We initially wanted to learn some basics bc we hadn’t selected a song and Mary worked with us each step of the way. She even allowed us to schedule as you go vs committing to a set number of classes. Mary was our favorite vendor. We had so much fun with her and we’ll probably take more lessons now that the wedding is over!
Mary was an excellent teacher! In just 2 lessons we learned a routine that worked well for our abilities, my dress, our videographer, and so much more. She made us feel comfortable and ready to show off. Would definitely hire her again!
Mary is the best. She was incredibly patient, made the lessons fun, and her skill was evident. What I appreciated most was how she met us at our level and tailored the lessons to our abilities. Our wedding dance turned out beautifully, all thanks to her guidance and support. Highly recommended!
Stephanie was a joy to work with! She really encouraged us through out our dance lessons and made us feel confident to do our wedding dance!
WORTH THE INVESTMENT
I can not say enough good things about this program & most of all our instructor, Mary, who took out non-traditional song choice and crafted a routine WITH us & was a joy to see at each lesson. Mary made the process fun.
It’s also a great way to bond with your partner and get a few date days/nights in before your wedding.
We would 100% do it again!!
Mary was an excellent teacher and choreographer for our wedding first dance! We started with 4 left feet, but 2 months later, our friends and family were so impressed! Mary was very patient and friendly and positive, and adapted the dance to match our (lack of) dancing ability and comfort level, whilst keeping enough ‘wow’ factor for an engaging performance. We can’t recommend her enough!
Mary did an absolutely amazing job with our wedding dance! My husband had zero dancing experience but Mary was so sweet and patient, and it's amazing what she put together for us in only 3 sessions. She choreographed a dance that was easy to remember through all the nerves on our wedding day but also unique and fun. We got so much applause with the unique dip that Mary threw into our dance and so many compliments from our guests! I'd recommend her to anyone!
Mary did such a phenomenal job teaching us such a fun first dance for our wedding! Speaking as the now husband, I wasn’t so sure about taking dance lessons and felt like it might be lame or embarrassing, but I had a blast over the course of 5 lessons! She was really great at knowing when to guide us at a high level early on and when to point out small details to fix as we got better with our dance.
Looking at videos of our first dance lesson compared to the actual first dance at our wedding was jaw dropping! In our last two lessons Mary pointed out not only small things to fix, but also how what we were doing would look in our wedding photos, which was so great for us to focus on.
Throughout the process, Mary was so friendly, helpful, and clearly very experienced not only in dancing, but also teaching. We cannot recommend her enough!
We had an incredible experience working with Mary to choreograph our First Dance at our wedding! We had limited dance experience as a couple, but Mary made the process so enjoyable and easy. Now we look forward to taking future dance lessons as a couple for date night. All of our guests were shocked by our dance and we will always have the memories of the dance to look back on.
With two weeks to go ahead of the big day, we turned to Bella to help with our first dance. Her style of teaching, professionalism, creativity and vision helped make our day that much more special. She is truly one of a kind and 5 stars here on this review aren’t enough to validate the sheer pleasure and joy of working with her.
Her skill set goes far beyond first dances for weddings and she is a true asset to the dance community. I’m excited to have had the privilege of working with her for this short period of time, but I’m even more excited to utilize her services in the future as I look forward to exploring dance lessons as a hobby.
Danse L’Amour should be at the top of the list for everyone, from absolute beginners to seasoned veterans. I highly recommend their services and offerings.
Stephanie was an amazing teacher! We learned so much and got amazing choreography for our first dance! I had absolutely no dance experience before doing this, and she made everything so fun and easy.
Since I could remember I’ve always had this theatrical vision for our first wedding dance. I didn’t want anything basic or traditional, I wanted pizzazz, fun, and flair. We are so thrilled we found Shiloh with Danse L’Amour. She listened to what we wanted and choreographed the perfect first dance for us. She is patient and made sure that we both could master the moves since my husband has tree trunks for legs, lol. We had so many compliments on how amazing our first dance was, we couldn’t have done it without you, Shiloh! Thank you for being a big part of our day.
Mary could not have been a better teacher for our first dance! She broke it down into very manageable pieces and made us feel confident going into our wedding day!
My husband and I had a great experience with Danse L'Amour in NYC. Our instructor, Emily, was incredibly accommodating right from the start. She took the time to understand our vision for the first dance and our differing comfort level with dancing. Her patience and professionalism made us feel at ease, and she tailored the choreography to suit our desires perfectly.
What sets Emily apart is her keen understanding of the nuances of wedding dances. She not only choreographed beautiful moves that would look amazing in photos and videos, but also considered the challenges of dancing in heaving Indian wedding attire.
Throughout our dance lessons, Emily's positive attitude and enthusiasm were infectious. She made learning to dance a fun and enjoyable experience, and her encouragement gave us the confidence to perform our first dance flawlessly on our big day. Thank you, Emily, for helping us create such beautiful memories!
We worked with Meg for our first dance and she was fantastic! She came up with a dance that fit us perfectly and was patient while we learned our new routine. We would definitely recommend!
Mary was absolutely fantastic to work with at the Roswell, GA location! I wanted something more than just swaying back and forth during our first dance and Mary delivered. Griffin and I had so much fun taking lessons. She catered the dance to us and our personalities. Everyone thought it was so special at the wedding!
We had the pleasure of working with the owner, Bella, in NYC! Her team had us set up our account, our lessons, and our plan easily and effortlessly after our initial call.
They had a thorough questionnaire about our type of dance, what we were looking for, our song, etc. Through this, once we stepped into our first lesson, Bella already had a plan for us! She has a hard task of choreographing a full first dance for a full four minutes lol. I think we did about 8 to 10 lessons which was wholly worth the money.
The nice part about being here in Brooklyn is there were two studios for us to choose from depending on where we were located. We did some at the Manhattan location but mostly the Brooklyn studio which is awesome. Timing and scheduling was very flexible and very easy. She heard our concerns after we would come back after another session from practicing and finding that wasn’t what we were looking for and we would transition. By the end of our lessons, we were fully confident with our videos to practice with for the big day.
I can tell you the big day was this past month and we nailed our dance. Everybody was awestruck, wowed, and super impressed. We felt confident and fully prepared after all our lessons and we cannot thank Bella enough for a lifetime of memories for our big day.
Mary was amazing! She made us feel comfortable, confident, and so excited for our first dance! We went in knowing nothing and came out with the first dance of our dreams!
Mary was fantastic. Didn't really know what to expect, or how worth it getting dance lessons would be, but we had so much fun and the final product far exceeded our expectations. Couldn't recommend Mary enough!
My husband and I are not dancers but we wanted to do more than just a sway for our first dance and have a fun, unique experience. We definitely got all that and more!
Specifically, our instructor Mary Seiersen, was incredible. She created a routine, edited our song, and taught us a show-stopping dance that our guests loved. Some of my favorite pictures are from the lift that my husband did during our dance!
Scheduling was easy and there were multiple locations and times to fit our schedules.
Our dance instructor Emily Esposito is wonderful! The classes were so much fun, and we definitely recommend Danse L'Amour and Emily for anyone's special day. Thank you again for making this so magical for us!
We worked with Stephanie for our first dance and had the absolute best experience! She was so helpful and made us feel super confident with tackling our first dance. We did our sessions virtually and she did an amazing job of teaching us despite not being in person. Several people told us it was the best first dance they’d ever seen, 10/10 recommend!!
We worked with Mary for our first dance and as a couple with minimal dance experience this was SO worth it! Not only did Mary make us feel extremely comfortable while stepping outside of our comfort zone, but our dance ended up being a highlight of our wedding along with the guests! She surpassed our expectations and we cannot recommend her enough!
We had an awesome experience with Danse L’Amour. Mary our instructor nailed it with our choreography and was able to teach us our dance in relatively short order. The dance at our wedding was definitely a highlight both for us and our wedding guests. Highly recommend!!!
We worked with Brittni and we have been so pleased with the results. Going into our first lesson our dance was the thing we were most nervous about. After just one lesson we knew we were going to be okay. Brittni is a great instructor who is patient, communicates effectively, and made sure we were comfortable with every move/sequence of our first dance routine. We would absolutely recommend Danse L'Amour and Brittni to everyone.
We used one of Bella’s online courses “Slow Dancing 101” to prepare for our first dance. I am a lifelong dancer but have never taken ballroom, and my fiancé has never taken dance lessons before. Bella does such a great job breaking down each section by leader & follower and answers questions before you even have them. We had so much fun learning Foxy in our living room and this course is great for ALL levels!! We have been practicing and am so happy we decided to ditch the awkward hug and sway for our first dance. Would absolutely recommend Bella and her staff for any couples!
We LOVE working with Mary. My husband was always afraid to go out and dance but our lessons with Mary gave him confidence and the moves to go out and enjoy himself on the dance floor. We had so much fun choreographing our first dance and everyone at our wedding was cheering us throughout the entire song! Mary approached every lesson with enthusiasm, flexibility, and patience. We looked forward to every lesson we had with Mary and are planning on booking some more for date nights!
Love, love, love, love, love working with Mary for our first dance. Plus brushing up on some other dance skills. Our first dance was sooooooooo perfect. I couldn’t have asked for a better dance instructor. Will definitely go back for a date night dance lesson! Thank you Mary!!!
Working with Mary for our first dance was perfect! Neither of us are experienced dancers, and had never taken a dance class. Mary listened to what we were looking for, made us feel incredibly comfortable, and designed a dance for was perfect for us and for our song. There were actual cheers from the crowd, we felt like rockstars, and we just had a great time. We also had a great time during lessons! Definitely recommend Mary!!
We had the best time choreographing our 1st dance with Mary! We did 10 lessons to choreograph an elaborate and intricate 1st dance for a song that was 4:30 in length! My husband and I were worried about getting it all done since we’d picked such a long song, but Mary knew exactly what she was doing. She kept us on track, was always prepared, and we were fully choreographed in time to still have a few lessons fully dedicated to repetition and cleaning right before the wedding. We even had time to practice in some skirts / dresses that simulated the style of my wedding dress (I highly recommend that btw, it was very informative for us). Mary was so helpful, fun, and patient throughout the process. We started with the basics and got more technical with time as we became comfortable in our abilities. She brought the most amazing ideas & plans for us and was also very collaborative! If we had thoughts / ideas / concerns, she welcomed them with open arms and we worked together to find the best combos that worked for us and our vision. She also had a great read on what would or wouldn’t be possible based on our venue, my dress, or even our own abilities. She was not afraid to say, “hey - you guys are killing this, what do you think about leveling it up even more” or “this move might be difficult with the restriction of your sleeves so let’s rethink it so that you don’t run into any issues on the day”.
Above all else, I cannot speak enough about how much fun we had with Mary. We genuinely looked forward to all of our lessons and were so sad when they were all done. Each lesson was such a fun part of our week. Not only was it wonderful for us to spend this time together leading up to the wedding, but also we loved hanging out with Mary! She brings such great energy and positivity and is just a joy to be around. We enjoyed our time with her so much that we booked some additional sessions for her to choreograph the mother/son dance for my husband and mother-in-love. Mary worked to coordinate the two dances so that they did not feel too similar and had the right vibe that we were looking for but were also complimentary of one another. It was amazing to us that she was able to seamlessly craft a dance in an entirely different style for the mother / son dance that was still just as beautiful as our first dance! My mother-in-love was so impressed that she then booked some more sessions to work on general dancing with my father-in-love and brother-in-love to just use on the dance floor as they pleased. Across several different people with varying abilities and dancing interests, every single person loved working with her. What I am saying is, Mary can do it all. From specific choreographed dances to general dance knowledge - she has you covered. We cannot recommend her enough. If you are debating anything at all, I am here to tell you that it is SO worth it. We are now almost a month out from our wedding and our family & friends are STILL talking about our dances. The feeling of performing it in front of everyone (which was a surprise to all of our guests and I highly recommend doing it that way) and seeing their reactions was unmatched. It was a core memory moment from our wedding day and something that we will carry on as a tradition for each of our anniversaries. Thank you Mary for being such an integral part of our wedding and for helping us celebrate not only on the big day but also in all of the time leading up to it!
Me & my now Husband had dance lessons with our instructor Stephanie. She is AMAZING!! She explained every move so simply. We have never taken dance lessons before. We booked the 5 lessons spot & ended up adding one more lesson two days before our big day.
Danae L'Amour Dance instructor company is incredibly easy to work with! They answered me the same day when inquiring about lessons & helped match us with one of the best instructors!!
These lessons made our Wedding day so memorable!!
If I could give 10 stars I would!!

We are midway through dance lessons with Meg in Nashville. She is a wonderful, gentle, and patient instructor. Lessons at her home are low pressure and fun. She has so much knowledge about what is doable and what is realistic for choreography. Highly recommend! We look forward to our lessons every week.
Mary was our dance instructor for our first dance and she was AMAZING! My fiancé and I had 0 dance skills to begin with but we walked away feeling very confident with our first dance and knew the guests at our wedding would be “wowed”! Mary took each lesson nice and slow and made sure we had each move down before we moved to the next. She even recorded us at the end of each lesson so we could look back and practice at home. On our wedding day, our guests were indeed “wowed” as they “ohh” and “ahh”-ed at each move we did. We are so happy with the results and my now husband says our dance lessons were the best money we spent on the whole wedding!
We are in TN, Nashville area and have been working with Meg. She is professional, patient, and super talented! She is easy to work with, flexible with scheduling, and considerate in incorporating all of our requests into our dance! Especially for beginners for this type of dancing, Meg has really helped us shape our dream first dance in the best way possible!
We used Danse L’Amour for our first dance at our wedding. Meg helped choreograph and teach us our entire dance. She was extremely patient, kind and caring, We have made a forever friend! We left feeling extremely confident in our dance. Helped us become closer in our relationship as well. Very easy making appointments. Extremely professional. Highly recommend. 10/10
From the first lesson to the last lesson, Mary was the highlight of our week. For 17 weeks we showed up & struggled, laughed, sometimes I cried working on a beautiful dance that I could do with my eyes shut. When I say dancing was not in our wheelhouse I mean dancing was beyond our wheelhouse. We even asked for the Dancing with the Stars version & Mary delivered! We absolutely loved our time with Mary! You will never regret your experience with Mary, learning to dance or just getting through your first dance at your wedding! Danse L’ Amour is the absolute best! Request Mary & you will be guaranteed to work with the very best! Kind, beautiful & definitely a patient professional! So much fun & well worth the investment. I’m sure most people don’t need 17 weeks worth of lessons but we did & loved our time learning our beautiful dance! Thanks Mary!
Mary was fantastic in working with us to prepare for our first dance. We didn’t need to be dance super stars, but did not want to look like an 8th grade prom couple. Mary exceeded our expectations! She helped us choose some dance moves that would be best and easiest, from how to enter the dance floor to how to move around it for good photographs. We even included some turns and a dip at the end which had great photo opportunities. She reminded us we could talk on the dance floor and it would look like whispering sweet nothings even if it was a verbal que for our steps. We recommend knowing what song you want going in so she can help choose an appropriate dance style in the first lesson. Thanks Mary!
Mary worked with my husband and I for our first dance. Neither of us had any dancing experience, and we ended up with a beautiful dance that impressed our family and friends! Also it was really fun and we are considering taking more lessons when we are back from our honeymoon!!
Mary was an amazing instructor. She was able to put together a great first dance for us and make sure we were prepared and confident going into our big day. She was flexible on scheduling our lessons, and even gave us a cut version of our first dance song choice to make the cues easier for us on start/end.
The dance went off great and was a great surprise for all our guests. We couldn't have done it without Mary :)
Isabella was absolutely amazing! She took an advanced dancer and a beginner and choreographed what our guests said was “the best first dance they had ever seen.” We had lifts and dips and left everyone in awe. We cannot thank her enough!! We even recommended her to our friends getting married ~Sarah and David
Best decision ever!! Stephanie from Danse L'Amour was absolutely amazing!!!! Professional, Friendly, Patient, Funny, Down to Earth.. we literally invited her to our wedding she was so cool!! And, our dance was the hit of the wedding, so simple, and elegant, but she made it so easy to learn and do!! I would HIGHLY RECOMMEND this company!!! Particularly Stephanie!!
Mary made our wedding dance process pure joy. It was our favorite part of planning and the way we had zero hesitance when walking out to do our first dance said it all! We felt prepared and comfortable and completely ourselves on our big day! Important to note neither of us has a lot of experience dancing! Highly recommend!
Mary was our instructor for our wedding dance lessons and she was amazing to work with! She created the perfect choreography for us as newbies to formal dancing and got our feedback along the way to ensure we were completely comfortable with the moves. The final product turned out better than we could have even imagined. Our guests were in awe. We are so grateful for her hard work and for making dance lessons fun!
Mary was so awesome and accommodating to us inexperienced dancers. She made our first dance so memorable. So thankful we chose Dance L’Amour to help us get ready for our big day.
My fiancé and I were lucky enough to work with Stephanie for our first dance routine and we had such a wonderful experience! She was so patient with us from the beginning (we had a hard time getting scheduled because my fiancé is in medical school and had several rotations we had to work around) and is an incredible instructor! She even drove from Marietta to Roswell because that location was more convenient for us! Even my fiancé, who wasn’t super thrilled about taking dance lessons, enjoyed our time with her. We loved our choreography and I know it was due to Stephanie’s expertise! I think I may be able to convince him to take more classes after the wedding as well! So for brides with hesitant grooms, schedule with Stephanie and know that you’re in excellent hands!
