We took 7 weeks of lessons here before our wedding. Ascansio choreographed and taught us a phenomenal dance to go with our chosen song and helped us perfect it. He was extremely kind and patient with us to help us learn. We spent our first 4 lessons learning the dance and the last 3 polishing it. We are so excited to do our dance at our wedding! We had such a great time that we are hoping to be back for some group classes after the wedding. Highly recommend!
We chose this studio to help us with our first dance for our wedding and it has been amazing! I was beyond nervous before our first lesson (I can’t dance to save my life) and as soon as we met with the instructor, my nerves were calmed! We had a few private sessions leading up to our wedding and they made us feel comfortable and confident with the dance! They edited/cut our song for us so we were able to practice to the exact version. We brought our wedding shoes in and they said they were good to wear so we continued practicing in them for our sessions. Avoid the awkward sway on your wedding day and schedule with them!
