About this vendor
With a bit of time and effort, you can elevate your first dance from "Nice" to "Wow!" Whether you simply want to feel confident when your special song starts playing or you'd like to blow your wedding guests' minds, dance lessons are an important element in wedding preparations. You'll have help during the wedding and the reception when all eyes are focused on you - an officiant will handle the ceremony, a caterer or wedding planner will help cut the cake. And then you'll be on the dance floor - alone - for what can feel like the 3 longest minutes of your lives. Getting help with your dancing ahead of time can relieve a lot of stress and give you the know-how to conduct yourselves with grace and polish (or spark and whimsy - whatever suits your style). Time and again my students have said that dance lessons were the best part of getting ready for the big day. It was time they spent working on something together instead of racing between tasks, and it brought them a new kind of intimacy. As a long time educator, I bring patience and humor to my teaching, and I enjoy collaborating with my students and incorporating their ideas into the final product.

Absolutely loved our dance classes with Emily! They sparked more happy tears from our wedding guests than any other moment that day. Even when our music suddenly cut out (!!!) Emi...
ly had prepared us with enough dance moves that we could make something up without music until it got fixed. Even outside of the wedding, weekly dance classes proved to be a great date night out. I had prior dance experience but my fiancé didn't and she was able to blend our skill levels seamlessly so we both enjoyed ourselves and were proud of our performance. She was clear about instructions, never made us feel embarrassed, and ensured every class was fun. When she sadly had an injury and couldn't do the dances herself for two weeks, she brought in another instructor with her to make sure we didn't fall behind. Worth every penny!
The best part of our wedding planning process was dancing with Emily! We could not have been happier with our experience taking wedding dance lessons with Emily. Her lessons offer...
ed us a break from the logistics, letting us reconnect and enjoy what the wedding was truly about - us being together.
Emily is a joy to work with; she tailors her teaching style to your learning style, and her warm sense of humor helps you feel comfortable making mistakes while learning. My husband, a musically minded and count-specific dancer, and I, a “just go with the flow” dancer, are very different learners. Emily helped us both understand and learn with confidence, allowing us to perform our dance on our wedding day without jitters or nerves. She was also open to working with our hectic timeline to make classes work in the weeks leading up to our wedding. Emily even helped us pick a song that would work best for us. And the PHOTOS turned out so well with her tips!
We would also highly recommend taking group dance lessons with Emily either before or after your wedding, as they are a lot of fun. We are biased towards her East Coast Swing series! We signed up for a group class with another set of friends. It was a great date night and a mid-week evening activity in the middle of winter!
Thank you Emily, for helping us create a truly special moment on our wedding day.
We can’t recommend Emily enough. Taking dance lessons with her was one of the best decisions we made before our wedding. My favorite part about working with Emily was that it gave ...
my husband and me the chance to try something new together and really bond before the wedding day. Even if for no other reason, I’d recommend dance lessons just for that experience.
Emily offers a variety of lesson options to fit your comfort level. I had a tiny bit of dance experience (just enough to know how to keep time and follow steps), so we chose the four class package. It ended up being perfect for us. Emily was kind, patient, and so much fun to work with. She gave honest feedback about what looked good and what might not fit our style, and she always made sure that our final dance felt like us.
She also recorded each lesson which was super helpful. It allowed us to practice at home and feel comfortable going into the next lesson. Emily understood exactly what we wanted which was just a more elevated version of the classic “wedding sway." She delivered it perfectly. My husband had no dance experience, but you’d never know it. Emily seemed to really enjoy working with beginners liek us. She kept the choreography simple, yet graceful and romantic.
What really stood out was how relaxed and enjoyable the process was. Our lessons never felt like another wedding task. They were more like fun date nights out. Emily’s warmth and encouragement made every class something we looked forward to. By the time the wedding came, we felt confident and ready. We were able to actually focus on enjoying our song, each other, and our emotions rather than one how we looked. We can't recommend her enough!
