If you want a unique, fun, and personalized wedding dance, Italo is the person to hire! We wanted do a non-traditional wedding dance that incorporates many different styles of danc...

e and songs. I reached out to many wedding dance choreographers and determined that Italo was the best one to execute our vision. Italo choreographed and created a dance that perfectly matches our personalities and was so fun to perform. It had slow ballroom dances, flips, twerking, and everything in-between. We feel like Italo truly listened to our vision and found a way to make it a reality. We were a bit nervous about taking dance lessons because we don’t have any dance experience. However, Italo has not only taught us how to be better dancers, but he also incorporated elements into our dance that look aesthetically pleasing and complicated, but are actually within our dance level. He also has answered all our questions about dance techniques, and helped us with songs and outfits, even recommending a song mixer and tailor. It’s very clear that Italo is tremendously passionate about dancing and choreography, and he is incredibly talented. Italo is not only extremely professional, he also has a fun and kind personality. We always looked forward to our dance sessions with Italo and we are sad they are now over. Our dance and tie-dye outfits and dance were a complete surprise to our guests and were the funnest part of our wedding! Everyone said it was the best wedding dance they have ever seen. I am so happy that my first dance with my husband was just as unique and fun as we are, and we have Italo to thank for that special memory. We cannot recommend Italo enough!

is lessons to your level. I never had ballroom dancing lessons, but am an experienced dancer, while my husband had no experience and actually thought that he couldn’t dance. Italo proved him wrong! It was amazing to watch Italo adjust his instruction so fluidly to our different experience levels. I have worked with a lot of dance teachers, and Italo’s ability to tailor his communication to your personal “language” is supernatural. My husband was feeling confident and looked amazing for our first dance! I got exposed to a new type of dance (ballroom) and have fallen in love with it. On top of this, Italo has a wonderful personality. He is kind, fun, and just a joy to spend time with. We looked forward to our lessons and ended up booking additional lessons after our wedding was over. If you want to make your first dance a magical experience and have a ton of fun in the process of preparing for it, book with Italo now!
