From This Dance Forward

short summary clip to help us practice what we learned later. We highly recommend her!

result was a first dance that we and our guests enjoyed! Comments included “epic” and “a first dance so hot it could’ve made the Devil sweat!”

gave us new ideas with each class. Our first dance At the wedding went very well and my wife Kate and I will continue to take lessons with Olandra. Prior to the wedding Kate and I applied our lessons to learning more about one another and we will continue to use dance as a way to bond. Olandra helped us to get over the rough spots and now I want to become a better dancer. This from a former non-dancer.

song. Olandra had great suggestions and embraced our vision. We had more dance lessons than we originally signed up for but only because we had so much fun and wanted to continue to learning new things. Our wedding dance was fantastic and we will definitely be back for more routine dance lessons for the fun of it!

and work with your schedule to find time for lessons. Olandra was the sweetest, so very talented, and made us feel so comfortable. She involved us in every step of the process and worked with us to make our vision for our wedding dance come to life. Highly recommend this service :)

We looked forward to the lessons every week! We had such a good time during the lessons that I also added a session for the father daughter class.

ing. In addition to being an expert dancer, Olandra's instructions and pedagogy were clear, thoughtful, and carefully tailored to us. She is a wonderful teacher and I would recommend her to anyone.

a lot of teaching and coaching and Olandra was perfect for this! She was so kind and encouraging with a TON of patience!! We really appreciated her personalized feedback and willingness to practice the moves with us. We felt comfortable and excited to have our lessons! Even though our first dance was not perfect day-of, we were both very proud of it and enjoyed that special time together!! If you're not sure about lessons, don't hesitate because you'll be sure to use your skills beyond just your first dance!!

d never taken any dance lessons before. However, Olandra has the patience of a saint and was able to teach us some fundamentals of partner dancing that we were comfortable performing and learning. And most importantly, we had a blast doing so! We had so much fun performing our first dance and it was very special for both of us. Additionally, later on in the evening, we were able to dance together some more with the moves that we learned when the band played other music. Now we can't wait to dance more going forward! I highly recommend From This Dance Forward. They were flexible with timing, always on time, have a passion for dancing, and really enjoyed teaching us how to dance!

choreographed a simple yet fun first dance that we felt extremely confident about. She was always open to our feedback about what we felt comfortable with and was so patient with two beginners. Olandra was very accommodating and flexible with our busy schedules. We could not be happier with the end result, not to mention the lessons were tons of fun! I would absolutely recommend From This Dance Forward to couples of all experience levels who are looking to brush up on their skills before the big day!

fident enough to spin my girl around the dance floor. Olandra is so helpful and takes the time to address all of our questions. We are having a blast learning something together and I can’t wait to attend all the upcoming weddings now.

the next wedding, so my boyfriend and I can bust a move on the dance floor.

eek for us - we came in hoping to just learn some basic steps, Kate helped us even choreograph a light dance for our wedding as well. Our guests loved it, and we loved working with her. She is an awesome instructor. We highly recommend Kate and From This Dance Forward for anyone looking to learn their wedding dance, or even just learning to dance for the first time like I was!

. 5 stars all around. She was a gentle and awesome instructor to work with. She was super helpful and our dance was very well received. Thank you to Kate all around. We would LOVE to work with her again.

dibly flexible with our schedule and so great to work with. Rather than doing choreography, she taught us a bunch of steps to string together so that rather than being rigid, the dance felt very natural, but also polished on the day of the wedding. All of our guests were impressed with our moves! Thanks SO much Lindsey!

de scheduling lesson times incredibly easy, so we were always able to find a time that worked in everyone's busy schedules. It was totally judgement-free, and they made our first dances SO much less stressful. I couldn't recommend them more!

ll have been our VERY first dance. We felt uncomfortable with the notion that our first dance would be mediocre on such an important occasion. With only a few weeks to go before the wedding, we immediately went online, searched reviews, and came upon From This Dance Forward. With no regrets, it's a decision we highly recommend! Lindsey worked with us on individual levels and as a couple, walking us through the tempo, helping us to find out rhythms, and guiding us through our waltz. With the help of Alex, we were able to feel and understand where each other was and how to properly lead and follow. At the end of only our fourth and final lesson, my wife and I were spinning, twirling, and coordinating like we'd been doing it for months, and our first dance turned out to be perfect. We truly have This Dance Forward to thank for not only building up our confidence levels, but for teaching us only a portion of what they bring to the table. If you're looking to learn to dance, or if you're just looking to have a ton of fun with someone special - we recommend Lindsey and Alex "From This Dance Forward". You won't regret it.

nto a beautiful first dance. From playing our song when we walked in to using our hobbies to give us cues, Alex made this a very personal and special experience. Hands down my favorite part of wedding prep!

ackgrounds and both our teachers were able to teach us very quickly. We are very pleased with how our first dance has turned out!

come up with their first dance. I hired Lindsey to help develop a dance for their song and she was just perfect. She assessed their skill level, how much time we would have together, and the things they were already working on to create a perfectly tailored, loving, and fun choreography. I’m a visual learner so she wrote out where different moves go in the music and we made practice videos. We also practiced a few variations to have on hand in case the couple wanted to go in a different direction. It was so clear that she had the experience and skill to work with people of all levels in a warm, accessible and fun way. The bride and groom loved the dance Lindsey made for them and I felt empowered to work with them because of all the skills, tricks, and choreography Lindsey developed with me. I would recommend anyone who’s looking to learn to dance or to come up with a first dance or performance piece to reach out to her. But be careful, you might just fall in love with dancing and not be able to stop!! :)

. Since we were beginners we didn't think 10 session would be enough but they were so good at teaching that we were able to nail a great routine with nightclub 2 step, cha cha, and salsa basics. It was so fun learning and we even used our moves at few other weddings we have been to since! As for the wedding, NONE of our family or friends knew we were choreographing a dance -- IT. WAS. AWESOME. The whole crowd got into it and it was one of my favorite memories of the day! Thank you From This Dance Forward!!

is Dance Forward, took all that worry out of my mind.

usband and me (but only because we're not used to watching ourselves on video, haha). But we love that they loved it so much and we have the amazing and talented Alex and Lindsey to thank for everything!! It was so much fun working with them. They helped a couple of non-dancers break loose and have fun on our wedding day. We purchased their 10 lesson package and practiced as much as we could in between lessons. They were also able to mix the two songs we wanted to mashup for an additional fee. We've been to a few weddings since our own and have been able to bring back some of the basic moves they taught us a few months ago which has been so much fun. If you want to do something a little different for your first dance and need a little--or a lot of--help from the pros, these two are your people! Thank you, Alex and Lindsey!

eel so lucky to have been able to work with Lindsey for our wedding. Thank you so much!!

We started off with the basic steps and worked our way through the choreography over the course of our lessons. The finished product was polished and impressive (all credit to Lindsey). Our guests LOVED the First Dance. More than that, though, the whole experience was my FAVORITE part of the wedding planning. The video from our First Dance will be something we cherish for the rest of our lives. 5/5 highly recommend This Dance Forward.

d he was a very reluctant starter. However, the calm atmosphere, considerate people and excellent teaching allowed him to relax enough to learn the steps and by the end of the two hours we were dancing. I can't thank Lindsey and Alex enough for this wonderful class. What a gift!!!!

we were able to learn a lot of steps in the short two hour workshop. We felt totally comfortable trying out what we had learned at a Christmas party a few weeks later. Highly recommend and would definitely take another class through the company again! Thanks Lindsey & Alex!
