Hello! My name is Isabella and I am the owner of Danse L'Amour! I grew up dancing ballet before transitioning into the ballroom world as a teenager. I was so enamored with partner dancing, I decided to go into teaching! Before I knew it, I had grown so fond of teaching wedding couples specifically, that I decided to create my own wedding dance curriculum and start servicing wedding couples and their unique dancing needs. I will always melt hearing your sweet meet-cute stories, the proposal stories, and your plans for the big day. I'm grateful for the opportunity to be a part of it!

We used Kiersten in Columbus Ohio and she was absolutely fantastic. She choreographed an amazing dance to a song that isn’t the most traditional and made every lesson so much fun. ...

Shiloh is a great instructor and we were so pleased with our course. We are the type of couple that wanted nothing fancy — no dips, tricks, or anything extra. Our goal was romantic...
and understated, and Shiloh put just enough frills on it to make it artful and most importantly fun, both for us and our guests. She struck the balance between making us feel comfortable but also pushing us out of our comfort zone to try things we did not know we could do. The song was perfectly choreographed to our dance and we got multiple compliments on it from guests. Overall, it gave us a fun activity to focus amid the madness of wedding planning. Choosing Danse L'Amour was one of the highlights of our wedding experience.

From the Groom: I had no prior dance experience and was very nervous going into the lessons, but like any good husband, wanted to make my future wife happy.

Not only was the dance so much fun to work on but it created the most amazing memory of our first dance during our wedding. Additionally all of our guests were so surprised and impressed with our dance which was so much fun to experience.
I recommend Danse L’Amour to anyone in the wedding planning process, and dance lessons to anyone looking for a fun date night.
If you’re considering dance lessons I could not recommend them more!!!

Bella and Andrei created such incredible choreography for my husband and I. We were at opposite ends of the scale - my husband is not a dancer (doesn't enjoy it) and introverted, w...
hereas I've been dancing and performing for most of my life (love the spotlight). The choreography was the perfect balance of being basic enough to not intimidate my husband, while still letting me have some more technical parts and ensuring we really had a WOW factor.
We had a few issues with email communications, but they seem to have been related to my email server (academic/work email) and Macie helped reconnect us. Despite a relatively short timeline of 3 weeks, Bella and Andrei provided us with incredible encouragement and useful feedback. My husband went from saying "we're going to look like amateur buffoons" before we started our first practice, to "I think that one was really good" by the last few days. We did this all through videos exchanged on Dropbox, rather than scheduling live lessons as we just did not have the time to coordinate our schedules.
I would not hesitate to recommend Danse l'Amour. We couldn't be happier!!!

elt like they really valued our first dance as much as we did. In the eleventh hour, they helped us improve on a few pieces of the choreo that we didn't quite nail, using a feedback video overlayed on the video we shared with them of our practice. I can't emphasize how smooth the whole process went. We watched the lessons we were told to, we put in the practice and ultimately felt prepared... then had the best time finally having our first dance in front of our family and friends! Thank you so much, Bella and Andrei!

After reviewing our practice run, Bella and her partner Andrei's tips and feedback for improving our dance were so helpful. Our guests absolutely loved our performance and could not stop talking about it! Highly recommend choosing Bella and Danse L'Amour for all your slow dancing needs, wedding-related or not.

king on—and our instructor knocked it out of the park. She was incredibly informative, kind, and offered great suggestions on new moves, how to polish our steps, and add overall flair. It was so worth the investment, and we’d totally do it again.
We weren’t sure how well dance would translate over Zoom, since it’s such a hands-on thing, but it worked out fantastically. Doing it in our own space actually took a lot of the pressure off and made the whole experience even more enjoyable.
10 out of 10—highly recommend!

I booked the survival package with Danse l’amour and we had an excellent experience! We did an intake call with Macie to go over our timeline, our expectations, our daily schedule,...
and more. She was able to make a recommendation and schedule our first lesson with Stephanie.
The lessons are done completely remotely as there wasn’t a studio where we are bases (sf bay are). While I wasn’t super keen on this at first, it actually worked out the best for our schedule because we were traveling internationally all summer long for other weddings.
Stephanie did an amazing job picking up on our bodies over camera to correct us and make suggestions to improve our dance. Even with only five lessons, we were able to nail a 2 minute routine, to the applause and cheers of our audience.
I highly recommend!

Everyone at Danse L’Amour was so wonderful to work with!! We were so pleased with not only the initial call we had but also all our tailored lessons and ultimate the final product!...
! I did a first dance with my now husband and a father daughter dance and both turned out so well we still get comments on them over a month later! Our instructor, Jordana, was fantastic. She was kind and helpful but also so much fun to work with. She taught us the basics first and then would teach us parts of our dance she had choreographed. The last lesson or so was to refine everything. She even calmed some of my father’s nerves and gave some great tips. I would take another lesson from her just for fun!! The lessons were even fun date nights for my husband and I, and we always left feeling excited for our wedding and first dance!
