Lets Dance Cincinnati

Melissa is helping us with choreography for our first dance. We have never taken any type of dance lessons but are having a blast and learning quickly thanks to the classes. Melissa is very skilled and is able to communicate her knowledge well to beginners. We recommend her studio!

We recently used Let’s Dance Cincinnati to add some choreography to our first dance. The owner, Melissa, is so knowledgeable and professional! She has a great home studio that is welcoming and bright. My fiancé and I are absolute beginners when it comes to any type of ballroom dance. Melissa taught us several different moves to add to our first dance to make it elegant and memorable! She helped us modify steps in order to make sure we were the comfortable and happy with our dance. The classes are pay-as-you-go and affordable. We learned our entire dance in just 4 classes! I would highly recommend Melissa for your first dance or even if you’d just like to learn something new!

Melissa was very professional, knowledgeable and friendly! I loved that she listened to our song and really customized our lesson to fit it. She even had the forethought of recording our dance so we can practice more at home! I cant wait for our next lesson :D

We originally chose Lets Dance Cincinnati because of the online reviews and the location, but WOW, were we ever LUCKY! Melissa is an amazing teacher! She obviously is very talented and an experienced teacher, but she is also very kind, patient, and encouraging. My husband and I (with zero experience!) wanted lessons for our son's upcoming wedding, but I'd love to continue with other lessons after that.

I am so glad we took dance lessons with Melissa at Let's Dance Cincinnati before our wedding! We really wanted to be able to move around the dance floor with simple steps for our first dance, and not just stand there. With Melissa's help we were confidently moved around the dance floor, and even had a few different spins and dips ready to go. So many guests complimented us on this! We also took lessons with our parents to prepare for the Mother/Son and Father/Daughter dances. Not only did this help those dances look awesome at the wedding, but was a really fun thing to do with our parents and something we will remember! Melissa explains the steps in a way that is easy to understand, and she teaches at your pace. My mother-in-law got a gift card for these lessons as a Christmas gift - such a great gift! Highly recommend!

Melissa was just outstanding to work with. She was both passionate and knowledgeable in giving my wife and I dance lessons for my daughter’s wedding. She made it enjoyable and fun. We will continue to get lessons in the future.

Melissa was AMAZING! She worked with us constantly on our schedule changes! Put the whole routine together and worked with us to make sure we got it perfect! Not your typical dance studio which I enjoyed, loved how personable!!

Melissa is a phenomenal teacher! My fiancé and I were getting burnt out on wedding planning so we decided to take France lesson as some scheduled ‘us time’, and we couldn’t be happier with our choice of Melissa and Let’s Dance Cincinnati! She allows us to pay as we go, catering to our learning style and not forcing us into a package; and with one of the lowest rates around for full hour lessons, you’d be crazy to go with anyone else. She is very experienced and explains not just the how but the why for every step, which is something on which other dance studios don’t necessarily spend adequate time. She is kind, personable, and very understanding. The dance studio is clean, with a great sound system and is private. So no other couples there to distract from your time together. Long story short: if you’re looking for a fun date night in the midst of the wedding planning chaos, you don’t need to look any farther than Let’s Dance Cincinnati!

My daughter and I wanted to learn a dance together for her wedding. We are both very pleased about choosing Let’s Dance Cincinnati. Mellisa was very professional, supportive and in my case extremely patient. I wouldn’t hesitate recommending Let’s Dance Cincinnati to anyone.

Melissa is an incredible instructor! She took two people who have no clue what we’re doing and has given us the ability to have a fun and beautiful first dance for our upcoming wedding that we’re proud to show off. Melissa is friendly, easygoing, patient, fair, honest, and fun! It’s clear she is a great dancer but she breaks things down in a way we can understand and learn. This is one of the best decisions we made on our wedding and I would recommend to anyone considering lessons with Melissa - DO IT!!!!!

Melissa is fantastic! She had never heard the song that we wanted to use but was able to immediately pick it up and started teaching us a great routine. She's very helpful and patient regardless of the skill level!

Melissa is amazing. Everything so far has been perfect! She has taught us A LOT in 3 lessons. Her studio is perfect and the location is great! I wish I could give 1000 stars because she is really going to make our special day that much better. Highly recommend getting dance lessons through her!

Melissa is an amazing dance teacher! She really focuses on you the customer and understanding your skill level so she can help you learn what best makes sense for you. Also her pricing is very fair.

Wish I could give Melissa 10 stars! She is a phenomenal dance instructor. My fiancé and I used Melissa for lessons concerning our first dance song at our wedding. Melissa is patient , pays close attention to detail, flexible, talented , makes you feel comfortable in learning something new and has a great private studio. I highly recommend Melissa.

Melissa was THE BEST! I have to admit, I wasn't super keen on dance lessons at first, but it was something my husband really wanted to do. I shouldn't have worried, because Melissa made it so much fun. We had a blast working with her up until the wedding. She made us both feel so comfortable and confident, complimenting us right when we needed it and pushing us forward too. I loved that she also took some time to show us how our new moves could transfer to some other songs. When we finally got to do the dance for real, it went off without a hitch, it was like we did it without thinking and we felt SO good! The crowd loved the dips and spins too and so many people complimented us afterwards. We couldn't wait to reach out to Melissa and tell her how it went and we can't WAIT to see the wedding video. If we were to do it again, we would choose Melissa over and over again! Her personality and expertise are truly unmatched.

We have so enjoyed working with Melissa! She was very responsive when scheduling our initial lesson and fit us in just days after giving her a call. She is professional and has an excellent personality for her work. My fiance and I had never danced before, but Melissa made learning a dance for our wedding easy. She is incredibly patient and encouraging and gives feedback in a clear, concise, and kind manner. I highly recommend her services! We will back to learn dances for future events.

Melissa is a fun instructor that makes learning easy to do. She teaches at a pace that suits us and is making our first dance look amazing! I can't wait to see what else she can do with it!

Amazing job teaching my fiancé and I our first dance for our wedding! We can’t wait to go back for more lessons ever after our wedding!

Melissa is fun, smart and easy to learn from. She will teach you things that the studios ignore so that they can keep taking your money. We are having a blast and dancing better than we thought possible!

Melissa is awesome! We were originally a little nervous to start dance lessons but Melissa put us at ease. She taught us at our speed and we're excited to continue learning our wedding dance.

We love Melissa's dance instruction. She teaches clearly and with patience. We can learn at our pace - never feeling like she is trying to sell us more lessons than we need. I have learned that I can dance better than I thought possible. She has taught my husband how to lead - not just the steps.. Together we are having a ball.

Melissa is amazing! We were searching for a studio where the instructor would have 100% focus on you as well as not have other couples watching...and we found Melissa! We’ve been having lessons for a while and we leave feeling confident each time we leave. She’s patient and can explain steps multiple ways so the learner can understand—I’m clumsy and a beginner but my confidence improves each time we meet with her. She will set you up for success and not overwhelm you. She’s professional while also keeping the mood light-hearted and fun. I can’t stress enough how much I recommend her!

Melissa is a fantastic instructor! My fiancé and I used her for our “first dance” for our wedding night. Neither of us had ever danced or had any kind of experience. She showed us exactly what to do and choreographed a dance that was perfect for us, as beginners. She is patient and an excellent teacher! I highly recommend her!

Melissa was great to work with! We did a mashup dance for my father daughter dance for my wedding, and it turned out AMAZING, everyone loved it. By the time I called her there was only a month until my wedding, and we were still able to put it together. My dad was nervous about it all, but Melissa really made him comfortable with it.

Melissa makes learning to dance simple and fun even for the most uncoordinated of couples. She is nonjudgmental towards your progress and very willing to work with your needs/skill level. Definitely would recommend her for couples with minimal experience.

Melissa is a great teacher for dancers and beginners alike! I have a light background in dance and my fiancé is a beginner. She worked with both of us to identify our strengths and weaknesses to build a truly beautiful, flexible routine for our big day. She is knowledgeable about dance, very positive and encouraging as a teacher! We would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a quality dance instructor.

My fiancée and I love to dance, but had never taken formal dancing lessons before. With our wedding coming up, we decided we wanted to get dance lessons to really wow our friends and family on our special day. Melissa has been an AMAZING instructor and given us everything we wanted for our first dance. She quickly realized our comfort with dancing and built us a personalized dance to our wedding song. She provided us both enough structure to give us a foundation to work with, and enough wiggle room to be creative and have fun with the moves she taught us. She was always extremely patient, gave us great feedback, and was always great about answering questions we had. The lessons became the highlight of our week and we often found ourselves wanting to practice outside of scheduled sessions. We are so happy with our outcome, and can not wait to have our first dance together. We can not recommend Melissa highly enough and are so thankful for everything she has done for us!

Melissa is a great instructor. My future husband an I had no prior dancing knowledge or experience and she made us feel Incredibly comfortable, especially considering my fiancé is terrified of dancing. Our first dance at our wedding will be what I’ve always dreamed of because of her ability to teach so well. The studio is a great atmosphere, and the price is very reasonable. Melissa is very patient and passionate is all her work. Our first dance is as important to her as it is to us! Highly recommend

My wife and I went with our daughter to learn a dance for her upcoming wedding and all of us have had an exceptional experience. Lets dance provided such a great environment and a place I really felt comfortable. Melissa is so patient and knows how to teach a challenged student like myself! Thank you so very much

Melissa is incredible! My husband, step-daughter and I started taking lessons to prepare for her 2021 wedding. We cannot say enough about how wonderful Melissa is! She takes the time to learn about each one of us, so she knows what level we are at and adapt her teaching accordingly. Melissa instantly makes you feel comfortable and she is always positive and upbeat. She can take any song that you want to dance to and immediately put dance steps to it that you can learn. She breaks down the steps to make it easy to follow, ensures you understand and encourages you to video tape it so you can practice at home. Her studio is wonderful as it private, so you definitely feel the one on one attention you get. Melissa is truly a gifted dance instructor who is professional, caring and lots of fun! She is always on time and uses every minute of your time ensuring you will have the best dance moves for your wedding or whatever event you are learning for. My husband and I look forward to seeing her every week and she has gone above and beyond to work with step-daughter and her fiancé when they are in town. Wouldn't take dance lessons from anyone else! Melissa is truly the best!

Melissa is amazing! She has been so helpful and made us feel so comfortable and confident as we learned our dance. She was flexible with our schedule and fit us in right before our wedding. I highly recommend Melissa to any couple needing dance lessons!

Melissa is an exceptional teacher. She was so professional and energetic. We came in with 2 left feet and now so excited to be able to enjoy the dance floor. Thanks so much Melissa!

My fiance and I wanted to have a little more substance to our first dance than swaying while everyone stared at us, but didn't want to have something where every single step was choreographed. Melissa did a great job understanding what we were looking for and translating it into reality. We started with just a few moves mixed into a traditional waltz, but as we started to pick things up she encouraged us to add a few more sequences. The private one on one environment makes learning the moves quick and easy and relieves some of the pressure of thinking other people are watching while you're stepping on each other's toes in the early going. This next week we are going to use one of our lessons to learn a different style of dance that we can use when going on date nights or maybe Salsa on the Square. I can't wait to perform our dance at our wedding and would highly recommend Melissa to anyone that's looking for lessons, whether it's for a wedding or for fun.

Melissa is fantastic! My fiance and I decided with only a couple months left before our wedding that we wanted a 2 song, choreographed first dance. We took only 5 classes and in that time Melissa was able to coach us and create a great routine for a very reasonable price. We are very excited to put the dance into action! I would suggest anyone to give her a shot!

Melissa is a fantastic instructor! She takes your wants and needs in account and gets down to business. My fiancee and I have learned a whole combo dance of ballroom and hip hop in just 5 sessions. Would recommend.

I cannot say enough great things about Melissa! My fiance and I were terrified that our first dance would end up being the "middle school sway". With neither of us having any dance experience, we were very nervous when it came to seeking out dance lessons for our first dance. We are SO happy to be working with Melissa, who is designing the perfectly memorable and fun first dance for us. She works with the song of your choice and breaks the steps down into very easy and manageable pieces. I would HIGHLY recommend Let's Dance Cincinnati to any couple who is looking to impress their friends and family with a special and memorable first dance!

I'm finally dancing! My husband bought us a gift certificate this past Christmas for lessons with Melissa. She is always on time, knowledgeable and has a great sense of humor with our four left feet. Would definitely recommend her for your first dance or your 22nd anniversary dance! Lol. Thanks Melissa!

Melissa is awesome!!! My fiancé and I booked dance lessons not knowing what to expect. She has exceeded all expectation. Nothing better than having a dance instructor who is high energy, experienced, and fun to learn from! Would highly recommend to anyone and have nothing but good things to say. We have been learning the Dirty Dancing dance which is not easy especially coming from two people who have never danced before. We have only had 5 lessons so far and have come a long way. Melissa is great, she will not let you down!!

Melissa is a fantastic instructor! As a beginner with no previous dance experience, she does a great job teaching in simple terms that help me improve. And the rates are the best price around, she has been extremely fair given her knowledge and ability to share her talent!

We can Waltz!!! My fiancé and I were the type of dancers to rock side to side, maybe spinning around a bit. We are now doing underarm turns and owning the dance floor with progressions! Melissa has been a dream to work with, and totally cool the whole time. I really give her credit for keeping her cool, because we were not easy to teach! We look forward to our lessons each week, and would highly recommend Lets Dance and Melissa to anyone.

As a guy I was nervous about taking wedding dance lessons but Melissa made me feel comfortable. She will cater to any skill level. I would highly recommend booking Melissa! My fiancee and I are looking forward to our first dance as husband and wife and know it will be perfect thanks to Melissa.

Melissa is a wonderful dance instructor and is so fun to work with! It's great that her dance studio is located behind her home because it makes the lessons personable and less nerve-wracking because you don't have other people looking at you. My fiancé and I just had our first lesson and we are so happy with what Melissa has taught us so far! She is very patient and will go over the moves with you until get them. We are looking forward to learning the rest of our first dance and we know its going to be such a special moment for us. Thank you Melissa!!!

We absolutely adored learning our first dance with Melissa. She really knew what she was doing, and she is great at her job! I was initially apprehensive when she told me it was a home-based studio, but it actually made it more comfortable for us. It was completely private, and the studio space is really cute. My husband wasn't exactly excited about this process, and after a few lessons, he really warmed up to it. Melissa helped make this much more enjoyable with her funny sense of humor. I highly recommend Lets Dance Cincinnati. Thanks for making our first dance better than I ever expected!

Melissa is the best!! We absolutely love her way of teaching.. she is very patient and has a great since of humor. Highly recommend !!!

My wife and I love it!! Melissa is a great teacher and very patient.. I had two left feet when I started, but not anymore.

Melissa was a fabulous instructor. We were both absolutely new to dancing, and we had no experience prior to taking lessons at Lets Dance Cincinnati. It was such a great experience, and I definitely recommend this studio. We learned a foxtrot, because it was the dance she thought best fit our wedding song. Our dance was choreographed to fit our song perfectly. Our wedding dance was amazing. Months later our guests and family are still talking about it. I wish I would have started the whole process a bit sooner. I waited until the last minute, so it made it a bit more stressful than it should have been, but all in all I loved it. Melissa surely knows what she is doing, and she made us feel much more confident on the dance floor.

My partner and I have only done one lesson so far and we both LOVED it! Neither of us have a lot of experience ballroom dancing but Melissa is a fantastic instructor and incredibly beginner friendly. The studio is inviting and the experience was unforgettable!

We are very new to dancing and wanted to get a little more comfortable for our wedding. Melissa was able to fit us in very quickly and get right to work! She made the dance happen and worked with us when we didn’t catching on the first time (or second or third)! Can’t wait to show off our new moves!!

My fiancé and I worked with Melissa on our fast dance for our wedding and she made the process so easy for two NON-Dancers! I could not recommend her more! Thank you!

Melissa was wonderful to work with, as she taught my fiancé and myself a dance routine for our wedding. I had no dance experience before, and Melissa took the time to break every step down, and by the second lesson I felt that I was already getting better. She was easy to work with and she made the experience fun. I would recommend anyone looking to learn how to dance to contact her.

Melissa has been so great to work with! We booked dance lessons for our first dance, and she has been incredibly patient with us as we learn. Our dance is both foxtrot and salsa, and Melissa has made sure that we are comfortable with every step. We can't wait to dance at our wedding in a week!

Melissa was always punctual, pleasant and ready to teach. My husband and I are just beginners, but she was patient and made it fun. She also assisted us with special requests, special songs to dance to, etc. I feel like my husband and I will have fun dancing together at our son’s wedding.

We booked dance lessons with Melissa for our first dance for our wedding. She was easy to work with and wanted to make sure the dance would be done well according to our ability rather than adding many complicated dance moves and the dance be sloppy. We appreciate this. She was also flexible with scheduling as we had several Saturday lessons.

Our experience with Melissa was absolutely incredible! She is a great, personable instructor, and we learned so much in such a short amount of time. Our first dance was exactly what we were hoping for, and we couldn't be happier. Highly recommend!!!

Melissa helped us nail our first dance foxtrot. Over a year later and friends and family are still raving about it!!
