HOUSTON BALLROOM DANCE

My fiancé (now wife) wanted to do a first dance at our wedding reception and we found Houston Ballroom Dancing, went in for a $20 intro lesson and found out that TK and Anjulena are amazing! We used a mashup of two Indian songs and TK put together a perfect routine for the song (even though he does not understand any of the words!). My wife and I are both very novice dancers and TK breaks down the footwork, hand / body movements and is very patient (…very patient) and makes you do it 137 times until you perfect it! TK and Anjulena are both super professional and definitely know the time crunch (and the million other things you got going on when planning a wedding), they are very flexible with the time slots. They are both very passionate about dancing and it definitely shows when they are teaching you, they get to know you and your partner and really make the experience fun (never thought I’d say dancing was “fun”). These guys unquestionably know what they are doing and I would highly recommend them to anyone in a heartbeat. Excellent dance instructors (and amazing people in general). Thanks to both of them for a successful first dance (along with mother-son / father-daughter dances).

TK and Anjulena are amazing instructors, wonderful people, and a ton of fun to work with! We learned so much from them, and were able to choreograph a beautiful first dance for our wedding. Would highly recommend!

TK was absolutely the most awesome dance instructor! My husband and I went to him for dance lessons in preparation for our wedding and he was able to make us look like pros. His lessons are easy to follow and reasonably priced. My husband can't dance at all and he was able to turn him into a dancer! If you are in need of any style of dance lessons TK and his wife can make it happen! Definitely going back for more.

Polite dance instructors with lots of Patience, especially teaching a guy like me with two left feet. For my daughter’s wedding, we dance to the father and daughter song with the move that T.K. taught us and it was smashing. My daughter and son-in-law also took dance lesson here and they dance beautiful for their husband and wife first dance. The instructors are professionals and they teach with fun.

My fiancé and I found Houston Ballroom Dance when we were looking to get some help preparing for our first dance together. We started by taking a introductory lesson to see if we were a good fit with TK and Anjulena's teaching styles. They are super friendly and the introductory lesson went well. We signed up for 5 lessons in total. I am a not an experienced dancer, but throughout the lessons TK broke everything down step by step and helped us put together a wonderful first dance. They boxed in the dance floor to the approximate size of what our wedding floor would be like, and they had a petticoat my fiance could wear to simulate what her wedding dress would be like. Our wedding day first dance went very well, and the lessons were well worth the investment. TK was very accommodating to our schedule and his teaching style is always positive and encouraging. Definite 5 stars! Thank you!

As a disclaimer, I’ll start by noting that our first dance looked wonderful and we got tons of compliments on it. However, the road to getting there was pretty bumpy. Our teacher, TK, pushed us really hard and took a lot of the fun out of dancing together. When we said we didn’t want to add any more moves he didn’t respect our wishes. It caused a lot of stress and heartache! We are happy with the results of our lessons but won’t be going back for our future dance lesson needs.

It can be a lot of pressure thinking about your “First Dance” as a married couple. Me and my fiancé went through the same thing. After we met TK, he took all the pressure away. He is so patient and FUN! If you are in the Houston area and looking for an instructor he is the BEST!!!

My fiancé and I decided to try this place after realizing we were a bit short on time to learn a dance for our wedding. Anjulena and TK are great professional instructors. Both of us have learned ballroom dancing prior to this experience. I can definitely say that Anjulena makes learning to dance fun and simple and can tailor the experience to your learning style and needs.

Thank God we found Anjulena and TK for our first dance! My husband and I found a swing dance video online and were desperately looking for an instructor about 2 months before the wedding. I made a phone call to Houston Ballroom Dance, and Anjulena checked the video for me and instantly knew what I wanted. We took about 7 lessons with Anjulena to complete the choreography. Anjulena was wonderful to work with. She is delightful, enthusiastic, and she cares about the quality of the dance. She set the tone for our dance with a big throw as opening, and every 30 seconds we have a new trick to surprise our guests (no kidding, it was an East coast swing dance with many aerial tricks. It sounds crazy but that's what we signed up for). There were times that we got frustrated and felt like we couldn't make it, but Anjulena had so much confidence in us and that really inspired us. TK joined us sometimes and they really made learning dance fun! We originally thought learning dance might be very stressful along the wedding planning, but it turned out to be the only thing that we could real progress every week! Our dance was AMAZING. Our guests were definitely impressed and they loved the surprise that we prepared for them! Throughout the whole night and weeks after the wedding, we kept having people coming over to us saying our dance was "Dancing with the Star" level! Even our DJ wrote a card to us and asked where we learned the dance after the wedding. It was totally worth it, and if you are looking for an instructor, you are looking at the right place.

My fiancé and I were on a tight budget for our DIY wedding, but we had never really taken the time to dance together before. We wanted our first dance together to be relaxed, yet special. We found Houston Ballroom Dance’s Groupon for 2 private dance lessons, and decided to dive in and give it a shot. We were very glad we did. TK was absolutely the PERFECT instructor for the two of us! Very encouraging, funny, gentle, and clear. He was able to work to each of our specific strengths, and to subtly bring our awareness to where each of our weaknesses were in the most constructive, helpful way possible. Amazing. These 2 lessons were absolutely delightful, and a whole lot of fun, and my fiancé and I are better dancers than we thought! Can’t believe we waited this long to make it a priority. We definitely feel a whole lot more confident about our first wedding dance, after just 2 lessons. Not sure if we’ll be able to make it back to their studio before our November wedding, but we will definitely treat ourselves to more lessons in the future. If you’re on the fence about this, I highly recommend you give it a shot! Thank you again, TK! You’re THE BEST!

My husband and I took dance lessons with TK for our first dance for our wedding and without sounding too braggy I have to say we looked awesome! And of course, all of that was due to TK's amazing teaching skills! We went in only knowing the song we wanted to dance to and TK choreographed an entire dance for us including intro and the dramatic dip at the end. Our guests loved it! We seriously cannot thank TK enough for his patience, energy and endless encouragement through the whole process. We're already talking about how we want to come back for date nights just for fun to learn more!

TK and Anjulena are great dance instructors and we enjoyed each and every lesson. We went here to get dance lessons before our wedding day, and we were so glad we did. I highly recommend them to anyone in the future for any occasion!

Wow! My husband and I contacted this dance studio towards the end of 2016 for help with our first dance at our wedding. Anjulena was our instructor. She consulted with me through phone and email before our first lesson and explained the different packages for individual lessons. The three of us clicked from the very beginning. I have a background in dance but my husband does not. Anjulena recognized this and choreographed a beautiful piece that was accessible for both of us. She helped us feel good about ourselves and inspired us to keep working even when we felt discouraged. She kept in constant communication through email and text and it was very easy to schedule our lessons. She was awesome and even went out to meet with us at the venue to do a final review of the piece. We really liked working with TK too, and he gave us many helpful tips on our dance. The two of them also did a few small group classes for us and our friends that were a lot of fun. I highly recommend this studio for any couple who wants to WOW their wedding guests with a fabulous first dance. On a side note, these private dance lessons were nearly as beneficial as our pre-marital counseling in our preparation for marriage.

Anjulena and TK have been WONDERFUL to work with!! My fiance and I have our wedding coming up, and were looking for someone to help choreograph our first dance. We started elsewhere in the Houston area with another teacher, but we felt like we were learning one move an hour. We took the leap of faith when we found Anjulena to switch teachers. With only 2 weeks left, Anjulena and TK have bent over backwards to put something together and take time to teach us. You can just see the passion bubbling out of Anjulena with every class. I have absolutely ZERO dancing experience, and I still have much room to grow, but I've never been more confident leading my future bride on the dance floor! =] I highly recommend them!

When we realized we only had two weeks before our wedding and we had completely forgotten that we didn't know how to dance TK worked a miracle. Not only did we pull off one amazing dance but we had so much fun learning we are thinking more dance lessons are in our future!

Me and my wife found Houston Ballroom Dance when looking for someone to help choreograph our first dance. We had TK as our private dance instructor and he is FANTASTIC!! I have never taken a dance lesson in my entire life and TK was very good at starting slow and helping build my confidence and repertoire of moves. We started taking our dance lessons closer to the wedding date than we would have liked, but TK was able to help us put something together in just a short time. We were so happy with him, we are planning to continue learning new moves from him. Would recommend him to anyone. Thank you so much TK!! Jay

In order to ensure that we didn't completely embarrass ourselves during our first dance at our wedding, my fiancé and I sought out dance lessons locally here in Houston. Being two women, we wanted to make sure we found a warm and welcoming environment. Anjulena couldn't have made us feel more at ease - she was patient, light hearted, and made us feel completely comfortable (even considering my two left feet). By the time our wedding rolls around, there's no doubt that we'll be more than prepared - even with a little sassy salsa! It should also be noted that the studio is well cared for and very spacious, close to Katy and the Galleria area. What more could you ask for?!?

When my wife and I were looking for a dance studio/ instructor to teach us how to do a proper dance for our 1st wedding dance we were looking for someone that would teach same sex couples. This is when we came across Anjulena and Houston Ballroom Dance. From the beginning Anjulena made us feel comfortable. Anjulena is extremely professional and friendly. She is flexible and works with your schedule. We wanted to look a little more polished for our first dance. Anjulena did an excellent job. She was very patient in making sure that both of us had a firm grasp of each step and turn in our routine. She took the time to stop when we made mistakes and really help us and was always reassuring that our first dance was going to be great. By the end of our lessons, not only had we learned our dance but we gained a friend. Don’t let your insecurities stop you, this is one wedding to-do you won’t regret completing.

I've been to a few and by far this one has been great. TK and Anjulinais are great to go out of their way to prepare my fiancé and I for out first dance. Highly recommended.

If you’re wanting to do something a little extra special for your First Dance at the wedding, but not sure where to begin I would HIGHLY recommend taking lessons with ANJULENA and/or TK!! My fiancé and I are NOT great dancers and we’ve never taken lessons, so this was something totally new for us. We found the Houston Ballroom Dance Lessons online as they offer special Wedding Dance Packages. The lady on the phone was super nice and set us up for an $10 trial session with a private instructor for 30 minutes to see if this is something we’d like do before signing up for multiple lessons. We tried it out and fell in love with our instructor Anjulena. She’s so sweet, knowledgeable and helped us learn a quite a few moves for our song. We immediately signed up for the Wedding Package (5 sessions) and scheduled our appointments with her and her partner, TK. We only had 4 weeks but we managed to squeeze it in all 5 sessions without any stress or worry. It was wonderful being able to work with both of them as we got a “girls perspective” and “guys perspective” which really helped out my fiancé and I. We had sooo much fun and would definitely consider taking more lessons. We kept our dance lessons a secret to guests at the wedding so they were all pleasantly surprised and said we look FANTASTIC!!! THANK YOU SO MUCH ANULENA AND TK!!

My fiance and I went to Houston Ballroom dance to learn a routine for our first dance. We started off as complete beginners, but by the time Anjulena was done with us, we knew how to both two step and salsa! We can't wait to show off our new moves in front of all of our friends and family! We strongly recommend Houston Ballroom dance to anyone who wants to learn a few (or a lot of) new moves.

We came to Houston Ballroom Dance to learn how to dance for our up coming wedding. Neither me nor my fiancee know how to dance. Anjulina is a great teacher! She is very personable and also very knowledgeable. We learned a lot from her and just as importantly, me and my fiancée have a great time learning from Anjulina. I highly recommend Anjulina to anyone who is looking for a great dance instructor.

Our family took dancing lessons here for my brother's wedding. We learn how to swing and ballroom dance for the wedding. And my brother and his wife learn a first dance routine from our instructor. Our teacher was very patient and knowledgeable. She made dancing fun and easy to learn. We would definity recommend our friends to come here for wedding dancing lessons.
