Our first dance was one of the highlights of our wedding, and we owe a huge portion of that magic to Jackie. From the moment we met her, she emanated warmth, patience, and unparalleled expertise. We wanted her to put together a routine to "Sen...

orita" for our first dance, and she was able to come up with the choreography on the fly, and was even able to show us some options! She came up with a routine that was romantic, fun, and just the right amount of challenging. For those like us, who started with two left feet, Jackie's patient guidance and uplifting spirit made every practice session enjoyable and productive. We looked forward to our classes! She not only gave us the confidence to perform in front of our loved ones but also made the entire experience unforgettable. Our guests loved it! If you're in search of a choreographer who will make your first dance as memorable and special as ours, look no further than Jackie. She truly has a gift, and we are forever grateful for the magic she brought into our special day.
