Enzo Esposito
Owner
Enzo came to the US from southern Italy in 2015 to pursue his dream of becoming a professional ballroom dancer/instructor. He's been teaching dancing since he was a teenager, and currently he teaches both competitive dancers and non-competitive dancers including wedding couples! He particularly enjoys teaching wedding couples because it is such a joy to work with two people who purely enjoy dancing with each other and also because he loves the idea that he gets to be part of the couple's special day.

Yo was an absolute pleasure to work with. Neither of us had any ballroom dance experience and we loved our 5 lessons. She was able to incorporate our personalities perfectly. We had the best time learning this dance and nailed our first dance the day of our wedding.

We really enjoyed working with our dance instructor (I believe her name was Yo). She was very nice and worked to accommodate our schedule. The lessons were fun and we really enjoyed learning our first dance. I would recommend them.

We worked with Yo, and she was amazing! We were nervous at first with potentially doing a choreographed first dance and we weren't even sure if we wanted one because we weren't sure if that would reflect my husband and I as a couple. We were also concerned if it would add additional nerves/stress to our special day since neither of us can really dance. When I decided to go for it, we were already about 5-6 weeks out but Yo got back to us very quickly and was very flexible with our schedule. When we had the first lesson, we immediately decided it was the right choice to coordinate a first dance just because of how Yo was. We ended up doing 5 lessons with her. She was always actively ready to answer any questions we had during the lessons and through email outside lessons.
She made us feel very comfortable learning how to dance and was very patient as we learned the basics and a couple of moves. She would teach us different moves to give us multiple options to work with and actively worked with us to design a first dance that was easy and simple, yet entertaining, but would still reflect "us" which is everything we wanted from a dance lesson. If we had a hard time with one area, she would help break it down further or adjust the move that would help it feel more natural to us. By the time our last lesson came around, we were honestly a bit sad because we thoroughly enjoyed our time learning from her. When it finally came time to the wedding day, we definitely nailed our dance. I can't recommend Yo from Fenix Dance enough! It'll definitely be worth your while!

Yo was a pleasure to work with. She made us feel comfortable and was able to listen to our music and teach us a few bigger moves to incorporate into our dance as well as how to start and end in, and taught us a basic box step for in between. We had two lessons and we were able to nail our dance on the big day!

Absolutely amazing! We were nervous about our first dance, me more than my fiancé, but Yo was so helpful and amazing and worked with us to get comfortable! She also was helpful with modifying certain moves due to my dress constraints.

If you are reading reviews on dance instructors you can save some time by just calling Enzo. He is the best! Immediately puts you at ease and somehow teaches you how to execute the first dance to a standing ovation in only a few lessons. Amazing experience, thanks Enzo!

Enzo was a fabulous dance instructor! He made lessons fun, easy, and productive. He helped us learn a wedding dance that still felt natural but elevated. Enzo is kind, patient, and positive…everything a great teacher should be! Highly recommend Enzo!!

Enzo is an outstanding instructor, patient, and collaborative. In our first of five lessons, he listened to the song we wanted to dance to at our wedding, and within five minutes he had come up with an accessible but still charming routine. We would highly recommend him and are grateful to have found him!
