About This Vendor
Just Dancing | Studio St. Louis
Just Dancing Studio St. Louis proudly offers ballroom wedding dance lessons! Knowing how to dance appropriately in a variety of social situations is a very useful skill to possess in life. Preparing to dance at your wedding, be it a few months from now or years down the line, is the most important social event of all. Therefore, you’ll probably want to be prepared. Though the dance moves that we’ll help you learn vary based on what style of wedding you’re having, our ballroom dance studio will help instill you with the confidence that you need to truly rock it on the big day. Remember, don’t wait until you’re only a few weeks out from your wedding — it takes longer than this to really nail down a first dance, even if it’s a relatively simple one! This is a celebration of your big day, and we want to ensure that preparing for it is as enjoyable as possible.

Rebecca took a couple with four left feet and choreographed a First Dance that was beyond what we had hoped to pull off. We had four lessons over two months and by the last lesson we had spins and a dip and weren't stepping on each others toes!...
She was very patient with us and worked with our song and our skills and we could not be more pleased with how our First Dance went.
My wife and I took lessons for our first dance song AND my dad and I took lessons for our father/daughter dance song with Jonathan for our wedding. We LOVE Jonathan! None of us had any experience with dancing and didn't quite know what we were ...
getting ourselves into. We had so much fun learning from Jonathan and our sessions quickly turned into something we looked forward to every week. It was so fun to hear about our guests' reactions to our dances! Definitely surprised many!
My husband and I wanted to have a choreographed first dance for our wedding, nothing too extreme but we just didn't want to stay in one place the whole time. Maysen was a wonderful teacher and incredibly friendly. I had a few ideas in mind of...
where I wanted to do certain things with the dance and she made sure that we were happy with all of the choreography. She was so sweet and kind and never judged us if we would trip over our own two feet. My husband and I looked forward to seeing her every other week for our lessons and are very thankful for her help! Our dance went smoothly on our wedding day and everyone was impressed!

I bought dance lessons from Just Dancing as a Father’s Day gift for my dad for our father/daughter dance at my wedding. My dad was so excited and we both really enjoyed getting to learn some basic steps and choreography. Maysen was amazing and ...
very knowledgeable. She helped us feel very confident in our dance for the wedding. We loved it and would definitely go back to learn more! I wish my fiancé and I would have taken lessons also!
We bought private lessons at Just Dancing to prepare for our first dance. We had an incredible experience with them. Our instructor was Danielle and she was phenomenal! She was a fantastic teacher and took a thoughtful immersive approach during...
her lessons. She was able to turn a guy with two left feet into a passable groom. Hugely thankful!

Amazing! My husband and I cannot dance. We learned the dance in the few months leading up to our wedding. So many compliments that we received after our dance. Thanks to Jonathan our excellent coach! Highly recommend!

Thank you for the great review! We’re so glad you received compliments as we were sure you would!

We had such a great time at Just Dancing with Maysen! We took lessons about once per week for 8 weeks leading up to our wedding. Maysen was so fun and was able to laugh with us as myself and my husband (both with 0 dancing experience) stumbled ...
through our lessons. She put together perfect choreography for our song and we nailed it on our big day! We had so much fun we are wanting to go back for more lessons just for learning new dances!

Thank you so much for the great review! Maysen is a ton of fun! We’re so glad you nailed it on your big day!

We did a lesson with Maysen, and really enjoyed it! Neither my fiancé or I are natural born dancers, and we left feeling much more comfortable and confident for our first dance! Maysen broke down the basics, added on little by little, and made...
it fun! Would highly recommend :)

Thank you, Holly!
We contacted Just Dancing less than 2 weeks before our wedding and Natalie, the co-owner, got back with us immediately. They got us in for 5 sessions prior to our wedding to learn a routine to a condensed first dance consisting of 3 of our favo...
rite songs. Maysen was our instructor and she was very informative, talented at what she does and gave us great tips. We aren’t avid dancers and feel a lot more confident than we did coming in. We plan on taking some classes to learn other dance styles and would highly recommend Just Dancing!
Response from the Vendor on 08/11/2020
Thanks, Michelle! We loved working with you both! We can’t wait to see the pictures!!!
Danyelle is such a wonderful instructor. Especially for beginners like my fiance and I! She's so thorough and patient beyond measure. She actually listened to our song beforehand to analyze the tempo and step count to select the best dance styl...
e for us!
Thanks to her, I feel 100% confident that we will look great on the dance floor at our wedding. We couldn't have asked for a better instructor for our dance lessons!
Response from the Vendor on 08/07/2020
Thank you, Jaclyn! We think she’s pretty wonderful too!
My fiancé and I were given a gift certificate as a shower gift for 3 private lessons. Danyelle was wonderful to work with and was very patient and kind as my fiancé and I got comfortable! We felt supported and encouraged and never out of place!...
Thank you for helping make our first dance even more perfect!
Response from the Vendor on 08/07/2020
Thank you Rosie!! We’re glad to have you both in our studio!!
Just Dancing saved me from embarrassing myself at my wedding. With just 3 days left before the big day my fiance mentioned she wanted our first dance to be special. The only problem was I was a terrible dancer. I was lucky enough to be able to ...
set up back to back private dance lessons with Just Dancing and they taught me so much in a short amount of time. I ended up getting so many compliments from our guests at the wedding on my dancing. I would recommend this to anyone!

Tom, it was our privilege to help you! We hope you'll be back.
My husband and I took dance lessons from Tom for our wedding and we loved it. He taught us a beautiful routine for a first dance and was very good at instructing.
Response from the Vendor on 08/14/2019
Thank you for the great review, Emma. We appreciate it!!
Tom at Just Dancing was a huge help getting our dance lessons off the ground! I'm not the world's most coordinated person, but wanted to do the Fox Trot for our first dance. Not only did he help my husband and me with our steps, he customized t...
he routine to the song we'd be dancing to. We will definitely be returning for dance lessons in the future!
We bought a groupon for 5 lessons, it did the trick. We had a best spending this time together, letting loose and learning at the same time. It ended up really paying off. We had the time of our lives and we got tons of applause and woops! We ...
did a great job!
We had a wonderful time taking private dance lessons from Doug. He is extremely patient and knowledgeable. He is a great coach and really helped us to learn with each other. During our first dance at our reception, we simply lost track of all o...
f the guests and just enjoyed ourselves. It wasn't until everyone starting clapping that we remembered we were being watched. Thanks to Doug, we truly enjoyed ourselves in that moment. Furthermore, we are also planning to continue lessons with Doug because we had so much fun! I would absolutely recommend him!
My groom has had ballroom dance experience...I apparently don't know how to follow...so we booked individual lessons for me as well as a few "couples lessons". It turns out that our beautiful first dance song selection (Amazed by Lonestar) is ...
very difficult to dance to, but Doug worked with the choreography and by the wedding day we were not only able to dance to our special song, but danced together a number of times...it was wonderful!
My only complaint is that it was sometimes difficult to get private space for dancing and it was difficult for me to hear other music and work through our steps...otherwise it was great.
My dad and I took dancing lesson with Angie for maybe 5 or 6 weeks. It was a great time and bonding experience with my father. The day of dance went perfect!
We had Angela choreograph a foxtrot for us and it was great! She is a beyond excellent teacher and they have a great studio!
Tom was our dance instructor and he was great! He went at a pace that we were comfortable with and made sure not to overwhelm (or bore!) us with the amount of material. He helped make our first dance exactly the way we wanted it to be!
very nice to work with.
Michael Fitzgerald is a doll along with his talented and beautiful wife Lucy. Michael took my shy,never danced before,stiff Husband and gave him the tools to command the dance floor.He was so easy to work with and exactly what we needed. The st...
udio, the owner, the staff were always so friendly and GREAT DANCERS.It was such a great experience. I am going to go back for more lessons for fun.
Nina at Just Dancing is adorable and so much fun! We had a blast taking weekly private lessons with her in order to plan our first dance, and it turned out great! I think our guests were impressed with our performance! =) We highly recommend sw...
eet Nina. My parents have also been taking lessons with her for several months now, and really, really enjoy it!
Lucy Fitzgerald at Just Dancing taught us all we needed to know to shine during our first dance! My husband doesn't like dancing and wasn't looking forward to our three minutes in the spot light. After just a few lessons with Lucy, he was rea...
dy to do it! We were able to bring our song to Lucy and she helped us decide on a style that worked best for us and our song. Since we were having a band, and new the beat could be faster or slower (or that we would get nervous and dance fast) Lucy taught us several basic steps that we could do and build on in the case that our prepared steps ran short on time. It all worked out perfectly and and we awed the crowd! By the time the wedding day rolled around, we were so confident in what our feet were doing, that we were able to really enjoy the moment together instead of concentrating on pleasing the crowd. Lucy is an amazing instructor! I highly recommend Just Dancing. The other instructors up there were all very nice and professional as well!
I wanted to do a special father/daughter dance. Neither me nor my father can dance so we needed some help! Stephanie at Just Dancing was amazing!!! We only took 5 lessons and were able to do a ballroom dance that got a standing ovation! It ...
was fun and now we are both expert dancers :) It was affordable and I highly recommend it!!!!!
