start and took away all of those nerves. He's hilarious, patient and incredibly fun to work with. Not only that, but he constructed our first dance from scratch and it came out beautiful. It was the perfect amount of choreography where it doesn't look cringey / staged at all. Our first dance lessons were so great that I brought my dad to him to choreograph our father daughter dance as well. For the father daughter dance, he taught us our full dance in one lesson. We cannot recommend Sandro enough he's the best!

tight timeline, but Sandro was able to squeeze us in and make our first dance possible. Sandro helped us choreograph a first dance that impressed all our guests! We had a Chinese/Western wedding so we combined 2 songs, including a Chinese one, and throughout the process Sandro was very accommodating and flexible with music and dance styles. His positive energy is contagious - thank you for making this such a fun and memorable experience for us, Sandro!

d couldn’t have been happier to have someone to teach us how to dance together, privately. Sandro was great to deal with along with his kindness and mojo that get you wanting to dance every time you set foot in his studio! We ended up doing a five minute dance and the way Sandro taught us was that even if you don’t do choreographed moves, everything he teaches you make you capable of being able to dance to any song with any move combination so others think you’re the best dancing couple out there. Thank you Sandro and we will send everyone your way!

Two words: JUST BOOK!! It will be the best "vendor" you hire for your wedding! I always knew that I could not have a first dance that had me and the groom swaying from side to side like clowns. I wanted a dance that I was excited for on the day...
and that would be a wonderful memory for us. Only problem: I can't dance with a partner at all (and the same can be said for my now husband). I found Sandro after a quick Google search brought me to his page on the Knot. I read his bio and his website and spoke to him that very same day for over 30 minutes (in true NY style, Sandro is incredibly responsive). I was convinced that Sandro was the right teacher for us and his quote fit the budget I had in mind; I didn't waste time trying to look around for comparisons given I know nothing about dancing and Sandro hit the requirements I had. Namely, Sandro's objective was to teach us to dance and not prepare a cringy dance routine that neither of us could execute. Sandro did just that and much more!! We wanted a merge of 2 songs (Adorn by Miguel and Blinding Lights by The Weeknd). Sandro merged the songs for us beautifully and had a few options for us to pick from. By the second lesson (of three in total), we had the full dance prepared. Sandro worked closely with us to prepare a dance that reflected us as a couple that we could make our own. He didn't ever try to just give us a routine to do - we worked on the moves together and they evolved over time which we polished in the third lesson. We planned to have a fourth lesson to polish up the dance but ended up cancelling as we didn't think we needed it as our practice at home was sufficient (and Sandro told us from the outset that 3 lessons will be enough). We had lessons with Sandro for 3 consecutive weeks and it was truly the highlight of my week. Sandro is full of energy and passion, which is just what you need after a long day at work. I couldn't believe how much you could achieve in just 1 hour with Sandro. We left every lesson feeling even more excited about our wedding dance. On the day of the wedding, our first dance was fabulous. Was it executed perfectly by us? Of course not - we are not professionals! But the dance was ours and not a routine we tried to do. So whilst WE knew we made a few errors, no one else could tell there were any errors as the whole dance looked flawless and we looked confident and comfortable dancing together. Our wedding guests loved our dance! Couples that were married before us told us the next day how they wished they took dance lessons for their first dance (ours was that good!). Our dance didn't include any lifts or any crazy maneuvers that you see on Dancing with the Stars. They were simple moves that were confident and polished, which made the dance look amazing. Sandro didn't just help us with our first dance; he truly taught us how to dance as a couple to any song!!

Sandro is the absolute best!! Our first dance was so important to us – especially to me, as a dancer – and I wanted to find a teacher who I could trust to teach us a routine that would look impressive, yet natural, without being cheesy. Sandro...
not only delivered, but he was so caring and passionate about our dance. I took lessons with not only my fiancé, but my dad too! Our weekend trips to Sandro’s studio became such a special part of the wedding planning process. Sandro showed so much enthusiasm and encouragement from our very first phone call. Both our first dance and my father/daughter dance included two songs – one slow and one fast – and Sandro took the time to create an MP3 file blending both songs together for us to practice. Not only that, but he also prepared 10 different versions for us to choose from, all stopping and entering at different points in the song. It was incredible – truly above and beyond. Sandro really became part of our family – he celebrated our victories and cried with me when I got swept up in the emotion of my dance with my dad. He made the lessons fun, but also extremely productive – in just one lesson, we were able to cover so much ground. In the end, we were thrilled with both dances and continue to receive tons of compliments from our guests. We love Sandro and highly recommend booking with him!

cided to try Sandro due to the amount of raving reviews, and after our first lesson we already understood why. He immediately blew us away with his expertise, his eye for detail and ways of explaining and teaching us in a way that was very personalized to us. We immediately felt a confidence that we have never experienced before and dared to do so much more with our dance than we ever thought was possible. Most important of all, he teaches you in a way where if you loose your way or if something goes wrong, you both know how to improvise and not freeze up! I can't emphasize enough how important this is, learning this literally saved us on the actual day. After a handful of sessions and lots of practice it was time for our big day, and we completely nailed it and got a standing ovation. But Sandro is the one that deserves the standing ovation. Thanks to him our dance was absolutely magical. I recommend to any couple that wants to make their first dance special to use Sandro to make their first dance one that will be talked about for years to come. His personality and talent is unmatched, and we will miss him dearly!

Sandro is the absolute greatest!!! We can't say enough amazing things about him. He took us from total amateurs to looking like pros in just 8 weeks! During that time, he was always consistent, reliable, and responsive. His schedule was flexible, he worked around our needs, and he was available in between classes if we had questions or concerns. He's not only an amazing dancer and teacher, but also got us to loosen up, and get out of our heads, so we weren't just going about the steps, but really performing.

Looking back at all of our wedding planning, this was by far the most fun thing we did together and was such a refreshing break from our day to day at a computer - especially considering that every other aspect of wedding planning was done virtually. After our first dance, my uncle reached over to Tim and smirked 'thanks a lot' - because now his wife expected him to lead her across the dance floor. We laughed and gave him Sandro's name.

Sandro was an unbelievable dance teacher. We had a ton of fun taking lessons with him and learned a ton of great moves. A few of our favorite things about his lessons were: - Ability to schedule lessons one at a time instead of having to buy 5...
-10 lessons all at once. - His low-key, fun demeanor. He was non-judgmental about our lack of skill and made learning dance moves a fun couple's activity, not just something we "had to do". - His technical skills. He taught us a wide range of moves and was able to visualize a dance routine based on our song (Like a Hurricane) almost immediately. - His flexibility. While he choreographed a full dance for us, he was also very supportive and excited when we went "off script" and mixed and matched different moves into our own flow. - His ability to keep things simple. Both me and my wife had never really danced before, and was able to take something intimidating and make it feel easy/simple by focusing on a few core moves. - His personality. He was super fun to be around, energetic, and really got us to loosen up and enjoy ourselves throughout!
