A wedding dance as unique as your love story
Charlie at Firebeat Studios was an absolute joy to work with as our wedding dance instructor! He was incredibly patient, easygoing, and made the entire process fun and stress-free. Charlie helped us craft the perfect first dance routine that felt natural and comfortable for us while incorporating some fun twirls to add a unique and exciting element to our evening. Thanks to his guidance, we felt confident and prepared on our wedding day, allowing us to enjoy the moment fully. We highly recommend Charlie to any couple looking to make their first dance truly special!

Engaged couples come to Firebeat at all stages of the planning process. Sometimes they’ve chosen a song, but aren’t sure what dance to learn. Sometimes they know they want to Salsa, but aren’t sure how many lessons they’ll need. Some couples just want a few moves to feel comfortable on the dance floor, while others are dreaming of a fully choreographed number. Rest assured, no matter where you are in your planning process, we’ll have you dancing the night away on your big day.
To help you get started, we are pleased to offer a 30-minute Wedding Dance Consultation at a special rate of $49. As a couple, you’ll spend your consultation lesson with one of our expert instructors, allowing you to experience our studio at your own pace, tailored specifically to your wedding needs.

bit nervous going into our wedding and wanted to have a great first dance. Vlad was honestly such a blast to work with and we looked forward to all our dance lessons. Vlad was so patient with us, so thorough, and helped us so much. Now that our wedding is over, we can’t wait to keep coming here to expand our skills in dancing and keep this new hobby going!

I was referred to Firebeat Ballroom from some friends of ours and decided we would go because my wife and I wanted our first dance to really stand out. I also took separate dancing...
classes with my dad, because he and I wanted our father-daughter dance to be different and memorable. My dad and I, and my wife and I both had Brad as a teacher and he was unbelievable. We had the best time. It was fun and he made us feel comfortable when dancing in front of people can sometimes be nerve racking. Since we had such a positive experience, we recommend it to everyone, and even plan on going back for group lessons. Highly recommend.

g teacher, extremely personable, and funny which helps you get through those few awkward moments when you realize you thought you knew your left from your right, but maybe not!

They allowed us to practice whenever we wanted outside of our lesson!

We took a set of three 1-on-1 lessons with Vlad at Firebeat for our wedding first dance and it could not have gone any better. Vlad was really great to work with and helped us not ...
only have a really special first dance, but to also feel comfortable doing it. I'm the furthest thing from a dancer or even comfortable on a dance floor, but Vlad was so easy to work with and really came up with a great routine that fit both our unique song choice and our personalities and skills. The studio was great and the dance steps were things we could easily practice at home between sessions. We couldn't have done it without Vlad and Firebeat! Thanks!!

Brad helped us learn different moves to incorporate into a fully choreographed dance. Brad's patience and thoughtful choreography made each session very enjoyable. We visited multiple weekend days to practice, as you are able to visit whenever to use empty space. We loved surprising our 200-guest wedding with our special dance! I highly recommend visiting Firebeat and working with Brad for your special dance!

We loved working with Brad! We came in with little to no ballroom dance experience and took 5-6 lessons with him. We told brad we were interested in learning a few key moves for ou...
r big day (without needing to memorize a choreographed dance), and he worked with us closely to prepare us for our first dance song! We had lots of fun learning and practicing with him, and we think the first dance was a hit and we had so much fun during it. And even when the unexpected came up we were able to go with the flow and had plenty of moves at the ready (without anyone the wiser) thanks to his teaching. Firebeat as a studio was also great to work with. We loved the other instructors and staff members we met, and also took advantage of the opportunity to use the open studio space to practice our dance. We highly recommend Firebeat!

Brad helped us narrow down our first dance song and figure out the type of dance we wanted to do (how many choreographed parts, moves, etc).
He choreographed moves into the dance...
taking into consideration photo ops and where the guests would be viewing from which really paid off in our photos.
Brad loves what he does and wants both the bride and groom to be comfortable and confident.
He'll arrange a time that works for you and a schedule to make sure you're ready to go for the big day.
