Deannah is a wonderful instructor! My wife and I only had a few weeks before our wedding and wanted to get enough moves to look confident and feel comfortable for our first dance. We are both novice dancers. Deannah went above and beyond to choreograph a dance where we had time to talk while also looking polished. We selected the five lesson package and both thought it was great value for what we got from our sessions. We highly recommend Deannah for any couples preparing for their wedding!

Deannah is fabulous! Our first dance was one of my favorite moments in the wedding. She prepared us very well and we had so much fun during our rehearsals. She was accommodating to our 2 year old that had to join us during practice. We plan to continue lessons with her for date nights.

The dance instructor provided excellent, patient, and fun coaching for novice couples preparing their first dance, even with limited weeks to practice. Five-lesson packages were praised as great value, enabling couples to learn polished routines including advanced steps like the Viennese waltz. Highly recommended for wedding dance lessons.

Deannah was a fantastic dance instructor and was very patient with us as we asked her to teach us to do a Viennese waltz in only 5 lessons! We were very impressed with her expertis...
e and ability to guide us to perform a more advanced dance in such a short amount of time. Deannah took a wholistic view of the dance, letting us learn the whole thing in a few weeks before repeatedly going over it with us and fixing up all the small mistakes we were making. She made dancing a blast and a genuine joy to learn!
We very strongly recommend DS Dancesport Ballroom if you are looking to learn a dance for your wedding!
