Holy smokes JACK!!! He is the most incredible human being/dance instructor anyone could ask for. My fiancé and I went in there with no dance experience at all and we both feel like pros. We wanted to do a sweet slow song and break into a salsa and Jack DELIVERED! Seriously the best of the best!
Talk about 0 to 100!! Jack is without a doubt the best choreographer and dance instructor. We had the pleasure meeting him and taking lessons with him leading up to our wedding. Endless compliments. We love Jack and he is ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️! We will be going back for more lessons just for the hell of it! To hang with him and have fun.
Jack was amazing at the initial consultation! It was myself, my fiancé, and my mother-in-law that went and the experience was enjoyable! We are moving closer to our wedding date and I am excited to see what he has in store for us!
Thank you again!
My fiancé & I had our first meeting with Jack last week & we loved it so much we booked 20 lessons! I told him on the spot which song we were thinking of for our first dance & he started choreographing us a dance right away. Jack brings such a high level of energy & enthusiasm that we were laughing as much as we were dancing. My fiancé & I have been practicing in our kitchen every night & can’t wait for the next lesson to learn a few more moves!
Jack made our first dance the talk of the wedding! He put so much joy into planning our COVID wedding. Jack is super positive, knowledgeable, and made practicing our dance very fun. I’d highly recommend Jack for any choreography needs you have!
WE LOVE TAGG! - my husband
We walked into Clique Studios/"I DO" Dance Studios months in advance of our wedding. IF YOU ARE READING THIS, THEN YOU SHOULD GIVE YOURSELVES AS MUCH TIME TO LEARN YOUR DANCE. Seriously, it will make a difference. That said, when we arrived early or stayed a little after our lesson, we met other couples who were a month or less out and just starting and I could see where Tagg was getting them to look good on the floor.
My then fiancé/now husband had never danced before his first lesson. If you ask nicely, then I'd be glad to post video from the first lesson where he is simply trying to manage a box step. And then I'm gonna send you video of four months later where he is dancing blind-folded so I can practice in my dress. Tagg met us where our skills were, built on them, and polished us so that we shone like stars on our wedding. Almost all of our guests were floored at the moves he showed on the floor.
Tagg will also work out a payment plan with you. It was incredibly helpful to our budgets to be able to take turns paying as we went to lessons. Hubs is already asking when we can go back for group classes. She made dancers out of us!
Jack is an AMAZING dancer and instructor, super creative with dance steps and moves, and all the time VERY fun and encouraging. Always on time and ready to go.
I was doing a mother/son dance for an Italy wedding, and the night before we left, he drove to Austin (where I live) to do a last minute refresher in my home.
I cant say enough about Jack's skills and personality, he is an awesome talented guy!!!
Working with Jack was so much fun and the best part about our weeks leading up to the wedding! He is such a great dancer and his personality makes the experience even that much better!! My husband and I love to dance so we really wanted a choreographed first dance that was different and more exciting to watch and he definitely delivered! He was so accommodating with our busy schedules and let us tailor the experience to what worked best for us. We really look forward to working with him in the future just for fun!!
My fiancée and I decided that we really wanted to have something special for our first dance. We had seen so many dances where people kind of just punched around in a circle nothing exciting nothing that really made it unique. We decided that we were going to get a dance choreographed and have something that really got people out of their seats. We started looking around for different people who could choreograph such a dance and came across Jack who had great reviews and we decided to give it a shot. When we first met Jack he was ecstatic to help and eager to get started on the idea! From the very first lesson he was easy to work with made things easy to understand and made it an absolutely awesome environment! Generally I’m not huge on dancing since it’s not really my thing but Jack found a way to make it enjoyable and fun for both of us! If you’re looking for someone to help choreograph your wedding dance or anything in general honestly look no further than Jack!
Jack was awesome. He is very patient and understands how to teach people of any skill level. Not only that, he's freaking hilarious and fun to be around. He was the best part of our wedding process.
Jack is Fabulous!!! He is such a great dancer!He has been working with us the past year and we have come such a long way. He is so fun and his energy is so positive. He made my future husband so comfortable and confident and he can dance our dance beautifully. ( he did not dance at all prior)I’m not the easiest bride and jack was patient and understanding. I can’t wait until Saturday!! It’s going to be great. Thank you jack!
I truly cannot recommend Jack highly enough! He has been unbelievably accommodating with mine and my fiancé's opposite schedules, always willing to work with us when we have a narrow window of opportunity to get a lesson in. I am a trained dancer while my fiancé is not, but he has been wonderful at making sure we both look good and the dance is up to my standards. I came into our first lesson with a very specific vision for our first dance, and Jack immediately "got it". He has been open to my seemingly endless suggestions, but has also made sure to push us farther than even I had originally imagined. My fiancé and I started lessons seven months before our wedding in February, and even though we don't necessarily "need" that many lessons, each week with Jack has been such a highlight of the planning process. His lessons are fun, hilarious, light hearted, but also get. stuff. done! It has been a great bonding experience for the two of us, and we are excited to have him as our DJ as well. He will also be choreographing my father-daughter dance! Seriously, if you are looking for a one-stop-shop for all your dancing and DJ needs (or even just one or the other), look no further. You have found the man, the myth, the legend- JACK!!
The experience Jack has provided my fiance and myself is the best I have ever had! Jack has patience and kindness and is willing to work with you when it comes to scheduling and desired changes to your dance or song. He took two men in my life and turned them into the perfect partners for my wedding!!! My fiance was scared to death and absolutely hated the thought of dancing since having multiple lessons with Jack he has transformed my fiances confidence and attitude toward dancing so much so he has asked me to dance in public for the first time in 11 years! Amazing! The other man in my life he transformed was my Father within three lessons he had my dad gliding around the floor! There are not enough wonderful words I can think of to describe the person and teacher Jack is! If your thinking about lessons STOP and book Jack! He is absolutely amazing!
Jack was so amazing and we are so glad we hired him. We were a two bride wedding and had a song picked out and let him run with the rest. One of us had not danced ever, and Jack made us 100% comfortable and confident in our dance. Everyone was so surprised and loved it; he highlighted the both of us individually and made it beautiful and graceful even though neither of us were not! We had so much fun learning and even dabbled in other types of ballroom that he taught us. Best decision we made was investing in a gorgeous first dance by Jack!!!
Jack - thank you, thank you, thank you. The dance was a complete SUCCESS and our family and friends loved every bit of it!
I will say, when I asked Andrew if he wanted to take dance lessons before the wedding...he was skeptical, was it necessary? You know it, I know it. But after the first lesson with you, he was sucked in and was ready to put on the greatest show!
Thank you for your patience (mostly with me), your sense of humor and constant support throughout the month getting us in dancing shape. You are amazing.
For anyone questioning whether they should choreograph a dance for their wedding... just do it and use Jack. You won't regret it. You will feel like a star!!
xoxo,
Chelsea and Andrew
Jack was absolutely incredible and worth every cent!! He helped us create a dance that perfectly captured our personalities and who we are as a couple. We had an absolute blast at the lessons - it was the highlight of our week - and practicing brought us closer together. The dance was beyond what we ever could have imagined, and we know that it only came together because of Jack's incredible skills as a dance instructor. Our dance was (and still is) raved about by every guest at our wedding, and it is one of our most cherished memories. As an individual, Jack is absolutely delightful and so extremely helpful. Do yourself a favor and hire Jack to create the most amazing dance tailored to you and incredible memories that will last a lifetime!
Hiring Jack was the best decision we made (other than deciding to marry each other) about our big day. Phenomenal is an understatement. When we told Jack we wanted something non-traditional and were up for anything, he took it and ran with it. The final product was more amazing than we could have dreamed of. Our dance was 5 minutes long and included 4 lifts which were huge wow moments. Our dance was what everyone talked about the rest of the reception! Not only was it the highlight of the day, but we also had a blast learning it. You’ll never get bored working with Jack and we looked forward to every dance class with him. We took about 20 lessons over 6 months and they were worth every penny! Neither of us were dancers before but we are now. We are actually continuing dance classes with Jack for fun because we loved it and Jack so much! This is the best money you will spend for your wedding day. It’s the one part of the reception that is really just for you and your spouse and you’ll have the memories of your dance forever because the rest of the day goes by so fast! If you want to impress everyone at your wedding, including yourselves, do yourself a favor and hire Jack!
Jack did an amazing job choreographing our first dance at our wedding. We both agree it was the highlight of our day and couldn't be more thankful for Jack's patience and guidance throughout our lessons. We would highly recommend Jack as a dance instructor for anyone's special occasion.
Jack is an amazing dancer, teacher, and person! He taught us our whole dance in the span of only a couple of weeks. He worked with me and my husbands crazy schedules and was always a joy to be around. Everyone loved our first dance and we got so many compliments on it afterwards! I can not say thanks enough for everything he did for us!
If you're looking for a competent, friendly, welcoming, talented, versatile dance instructor - look no further than Jack! He is truly the best of the best. Our sessions with Jack are always the perfect blend of fun and productivity. We couldn't recommend him more!
Jack was absolutely amazing! He choreographed the best dance we could have ever hoped for. He’s such a great teAcher and made our lessons relaxed and fun! Highly recommend if you are looking for a great dance instructor for any event!
If I could give Jack 10 stars I would. When I say he is AWESOME he is AWESOME is every way. He made my son and my lessons so much fun and memories I will never forget! My son was not real keen on the whole idea of dancing but after a couple of lessons with me and his bride to be he was in 100% in and believe it or not having a great time. So much so..... that he and he now wife are going to continue dance lessons! Lol! If you only knew how crazy that is because at all the weddings we've been to he would refuse to dance and now he wants to continue lessons!! That's how much fun and awesome Jack is! He also attended the wedding and when we had our dances he was like a mother hen standing in the back watching every move and clapping when we nailed it. I can't tell you how many people came up to us and said they enjoyed watching him almost as much as the dance. I'm so grateful we had the opportunity to find someone who really cared and taught us to dance.
Jackson is a phenomenal teacher if you are willing to take the time to practice what he teaches you. My husband and I had limited dance experience prior to reaching out to Jack. By the 8th lesson we had a fully choreographed four minute song for our first dance. He always made us feel comfortable and like we were his only client.
He was accommodating in every way with our schedule and unforeseen tardiness. I never expected to have a lift in our first dance, and it got the biggest cheers during our dance.
Our lessons with Jack were well worth everything that we paid. He is a great guy and even better instructor. Our first dance turned out perfectly.
We both HIGHLY recommend reaching out to Jack for all your dancing needs!
Jackson is THE BEST choice for a wedding dance choreographer in multiple ways.
1. His personality makes the entire experience so much fun, he even makes the groom excited about learning to dance!
2. His knowledge on dancing and choreography is over the top and his ability to make a dance fit the personality of the couple show's his true talent.
3. He is extremely accommodating, especially since I work at a clothing boutique. I've had to change our lesson times more than once due to the fact that people come in to my store, they stay after hours, so that I couldn't make the lesson. He is very understanding and doesn't get frustrated and always accommodates us :)
4. We are confident that he is going to make our first dance beyond special, we already know people will be out of their chairs with excitement! Jackson KNOWS how to put on a show!
If you're having any doubt, go with Jack! You won't regret it!
I was the Mother of the Groom. . . .My son just got married in November 2017. . . . .I can’t thank Jackson enough for all he did to make this such a fantastic day.
First. . .We hired him for dance lessons. 1) Bride/Groom First Dance 2) Father of the Bride Dance and 3) Mother of the Groom Dance. He created such unique and individual dances and we all had so much fun as we learned them and as he individually created the dances to our personalities. My dance included a rugby ball :)
We also hired Jackson to DJ the wedding. We all knew him a bit by then and KNEW it would smooth, professional and NO STRESS on us. . .and. . . that we ALL would have a great time. He is such a natural at being the “party starter”. He did a terrific job keeping the flow of the evening going smoothly and everyone dancing and having fun.
Thanks again Jackson. . .you were terrific!
"If you can walk, you can dance" - Jack Foltyn
This was the first thing Jack Foltyn said to me and my daughter during our first visit to his dance studio. And he did not fail to deliver on those words. We were actually dancing before the end of our first lesson. During the course of the next few weeks he beautifully choreographed a very classy father/daughter dance that we performed quite successfully at her wedding reception this past weekend. As other reviewers have noted, Jack is way more than a dance instructor. He wears many hats quite capably.....dance instructor, choreographer, "psychologist", DJ, artistic director and more. He is highly knowledgeable and creative, a great listener and above all else, extremely patient. We had no issues scheduling time with him each week and he made certain we were completely comfortable with each new section of the choreography before moving on to the next phase. Excellent communication skills, a fun loving, witty personality and a genuine concern to make your special occasion the best it can be are what make Jack a special talent and so well suited at doing what he does. Jack will create a unique dance experience for you and instill the confidence you need to perform in front of a large crowd. Thanks again for making our father/daughter dance so memorable and special. It was a huge hit with our family and friends. Cheers!
Jackson is worth his weight in Gold! He is not only an excellent teacher, but he is so friendly and encouraging during the whole process. I switched our first dance song after 4 lessons (because I heard a new one on the radio). He didn't skip a beat, and came up with an unbelievably beautiful dance on the spot. He listens to your feedback, and provides choreography that not only fits the music, but fits YOUR personality (so he doesn't force you to dance something you aren't comfortable with). He not only taught us the dance steps, but how to dance in time with the music, and to have the confidence behind each step. I would recommend him to anyone who wants to learn how to dance in general, as well as for anyone who wants their first dance to be extra beautiful! :)
Jackson is an excellent teacher! After only a few lessons, he had choreographed a first dance for us and, while my fiancé and I are still newbies at dancing, we now know a few moves and have a whole custom dance. Also, Jack has a great sense of humor and outgoing personality, which really eased the tension and helped us to relax even though my fiancé and I were clueless and awkward when we started. I also have to say that he was quite accommodating of our tight schedule. Overall, I'd highly recommend Jackson.
Jack is an awesome teacher! He is choreographing two dances for me - a father/daughter dance and my first dance with my fiancé. He is very knowledgable about dance and seems to genuinely love teaching others. I know that both of my dances are going to be incredible!
Jackson will choreograph the first dance of your dreams. My fiancé and I started taking ballroom classes a few years ago and really enjoyed it, but the studio we were going to closed. After we got engaged we knew we needed to find someone to choreograph our first dance because we did not want to do the high school sway. We knew it needed to be someone special because I had a dance background but my fiancé did not and we really wanted to find someone we could connect with. When we first met with Jackson we knew we had found the perfect person! We felt so comfortable with him right away. It was like running into a life-long friend you didn't know you had. He estimated the number of classes he thought we would need but we signed up for more just to be safe. He listened to our thoughts on what we wanted and created a beautiful dance for us. He was very patient and always open to our feedback. If we didn't feel comfortable with one of the steps he would change it. He also is very mindful of working in great moments for your photographer to capture. Some days we would meet him after a long day at work. We would arrive tired and grumpy but by the end of class we would be laughing and having a ball. He is a very talented dancer and choreographer, with a multitude of other talents like singing, but more importantly he is a wonderful person & an excellent teacher. Our wedding was 7/17/17 and the first dance was a huge success! Our guests were blown away. They are still talking about it. If you're looking for someone to create a unique dance for you tailored to your needs, and you want to have a great time in the process, then look no further! We plan to keep taking classes with him. Happy dancing!
Jack was great! My husband and I were so thankful to have Jack make our day so special. I would recommend him to every bride out there. He was very attentive to what we wanted and gave great suggestions! Thanks Jack.
Jackson is the BEST! He choreographed an entire dance for my husband and I with 3 weeks to go until our wedding. He also made time to include my dad for a father-daughter dance, and my mother in law for the mother-son dance. He worked around our schedule and even offered to work on a holiday to make sure we had every move down. He made us feel so comfortable even though we're totally not dancers! We worked together until the week of our wedding, and the dance was perfect. Hire him ASAP - you won't regret it! Thank you so much Jackson! :)
My dad and I came to Jackson for our father-daughter dance, and even after just one lesson we could not be more pleased!! He pays great attention to detail, is lighthearted, and easy to work with. We have no doubt that Jackson will make our dance together a beautiful and memorable one. :)
Jackson is the best! My fiancé and I came to Jackson's to choreograph our first dance and WOW... amazing! Within just a few short lessons, we have an amazing dance that we love! He's able to find exactly what makes you feel comfortable and confident for your special day. We can't wait to keep practicing and perform this dance for our friends and family this fall!
Jack Foltyn is a master at creating and choreographing your once in a lifetime dance. Whether it is a father/daughter, bride/ groom, or mother/groom dance or all of the above, Jack will customize and make it special! He is an amazing DJ and will get everyone involved to make your reception extra special! He's the best!
