Jennifer Vasco with IDS Wedding Dance was absolutely amazing and played such a special role in preparing Andre and me for our wedding day!
Jennifer worked with us on our first dance, our entrance dance, and even the little details that made such a big difference during our ceremony—especially our kiss and dip moment. She didn’t just teach us steps; she taught us how to move together naturally, feel confident, and enjoy the moment instead of worrying about what came next.
Neither of us wanted our dances to feel overly choreographed or uncomfortable, and Jennifer understood exactly what we were looking for. She was patient, encouraging, fun, and made every lesson something we genuinely looked forward to. She worked with our personalities and comfort level and helped everything feel like us.
On our wedding day, we felt prepared and confident, and seeing those beautiful moments captured in our photos and videos makes us appreciate Jennifer even more. Our first dance and our ceremony kiss and dip are memories we will treasure forever.
If you are getting married and wondering whether dance lessons are worth it—YES! They are, especially with Jennifer. She helped turn moments we might have been nervous about into some of our favorite memories from our wedding day.
Thank you, Jennifer, for your patience, your talent, your encouragement, and for helping make our wedding day even more special.

Taking dance lessons was honestly one of the most fun things we did during the entire wedding planning season. Jennifer is an amazing instructor and created a first dance that perfectly fit our personalities, wedding style, and experience level. She made learning enjoyable and gave us the confidence to even include a few fun lifts! Our first dance turned out exactly how I had always imagined, and so many guests came up afterward to tell us it was the best first dance they had ever seen. They probably had no idea we couldn't dance before we started! Thank you, Jennifer, for creating such a special memory that we'll treasure forever.

myself, a dance hobbiest & my fiance, a more shy dancer, feel comfortable and confident throughout and was always willing and quick to respond and plan ahead with us.

rsonal. Jennifer was not only incredibly talented and sweet but also completely accommodating. Plus, the virtual lessons were a lifesaver and allowed us to practice in the comfort of our own home and provided great flexibility for our super busy schedules.
We chose a medley of songs with different styles, and Jennifer and team seamlessly blended them into a cohesive performance that perfectly fit the feel we were looking to achieve. Jennifer worked with us to ensure the choreography matched our skill level (again, we’re not dancers! Lol) and gave us the confidence to shine on our big day. She also went above and beyond by providing tips for practicing on our own, prepping for the week leading up to the wedding, and even guiding us on how to coordinate with the MC and make the transition from cutting the cake to taking the floor.
The result was everything we hoped for and more. Our guests loved it, and we felt so at ease during a moment that could have been intimidating. If you’re considering dance lessons for your wedding, look no further than International Dance Studio and Jennifer. They’ll make sure your special moment is unforgettable!

zing. First is finding the beats, then is to something basically steps, and adding some fancy turns and dips. We performed a big WOW dance at our wedding. All our guest was cheering and asking how did we do that! Quite a performance! And plus! We felt like that’s something we can keep using for the rest of our life. These steps and moves are so versatile that we can easily adopt to other occasions! Not just a first dance you gonna learn from Jennifer but an actual real life dancer for sure! Thank you Jennifer!

rience and candidly 2 left feet - well 4 if you add them together! By the end of our package of lessons, we surprised ourselves with our dance skills and never in a million years would have thought we would be doing spins and dips, never the less in front of nearly 100 people!! She also went over things we would never have thought about such as transitions, the parent hand off after the first dance, and what you do once you finish your dance. If you're on the cusp of deciding whether to do lessons or not - stop thinking, just do it! It was honestly our favorite parts of wedding planning. It's a great date night and we had so much fun each lesson!
Having gone through the classes and understanding their teaching approach, if you are considering virtual lessons there's no doubt in my mind that would still get the same out of it as if you were in person.
Overall I would 1000% recommend International Dance Studio!

We nailed our first dance and were able to use what we learned throughout the night. Now, we can use our new moves for date nights and future weddings!

ultimately decided to go with International Dance studios based on the glowing reviews, reasonable prices, and their responsive communication! My dad and I worked with Patrizio to learn the Foxtrot to the song "What a Wonderful World" by Louis Armstrong. Patrizio was an amazing instructor! My dad and I aren't the best dancers, but Patrizio made us feel like we were. He was so patient, kind, and positive! Our wedding guests loved our father-daughter dance, especially the surprise ending that Patrizio helped us create! If you are looking for a place to learn a dance for your wedding, I highly recommend International Dance Studios.
