My wife and I worked with Ludo to help prepare us for our First Dance at our wedding. My wife is an experienced dancer, but I had no formal or informal dancing lessons prior to wor...
king with Ludo. I was really impressed with his patience and encouragement during our lessons. I feel far more confident dancing after just a handful of sessions with Ludo. Ludo was always very flexible if we needed to reschedule a session during the hectic times of planning a wedding.
Ludo is an absolute pleasure to learn with! I was so nervous for my first dance with my wife at our wedding, as I have never received any formal dance instruction. In a few short...
weeks, he worked through three different dance styles with us and even helped us pick our song. Before long, I had all the confidence I needed on our big day. I also took lessons with my mother for our mother-son dance. Our guests are still talking about how impressed they were with the dancing, and some of our favorite pictures are from the dance floor. Thanks Ludo for being personable, patient, and a true joy to work with. Highly recommend for anyone, regardless of experience level!
It was wonderful working with Ludo on my father/daughter dance!!! He taught us a waltz and was very clear with his directions and made it a really fun time for us during practice! ...
One of my favorite photos from the big day was of my dad and I practicing beforehand, and I love re-watching the video of the actual performance ❤️
I would trust Ludo with any ideas you might have, ours was a slightly unusual song choice and he really got it and made it work so well 🙏
Quote from the DJ: “that was one of the most beautiful father/daughter dances I’ve seen in a long time,” and you know a wedding DJ sees a lot of them!!
My (now) husband and I took ballroom dance lessons with Ludo to prepare for our first dance at our wedding - a Frank Sinatra number. I had a little dance experience, and my partne...
r had none, so we really started from the beginning. Ludo is a fantastic teacher, explaining and demonstrating steps so not only did we know what we were doing, but we had fun too! We received so many compliments on our dance from our guests, it made for great pictures and a very sweet memory. And we gained the knowledge of how to dance together in general, so we were on the dancefloor all night.
In addition, my partner and I took lessons to prepare for our Father/Daughter and Mother/Son dances with our respective parents. This was a blast! I would recommend Ludo 100%.
We started out with a need for some wedding dances (first dance, mother/son, father/daughter) and I'm sure initially I wasn't the most enthusiastic about it, but it was so much fun...
we keep it going whenever we are back in the area visiting family. Ludo is so talented at identifying where you need help and how to get you to understand and pick up various steps. You can make so much progress so quickly with his sharp eye and guidance. Having some special moves (but not overchoreographed) for our wedding dances is something we'll cherish forever. If you have a song in mind, Ludo will know the right moves for it. 10/10!
Ludo is awesome! We took dance lessons before our wedding and we've also done some group lessons with family and friends just for fun. We've learned the rumba, hustle, swing, and e...
ven the polka with Ludo. He's a great teacher and clearly has tons of expertise, and is super patient and kind. My husband and I feel so much more confident on the dance floor now and we have a ton of fun, all thanks to the lessons and practice we've done with Ludo. Highly recommend!
Ludo helped with All three family weddings . . . Six dances! Great teacher, fun lessons, lead to comfortable, confident, and sophisticated dances plus fun for guests. Highly recom...

Paula was an amazing teacher and made us feel comfortable right away! She welcomed us and helped us find a plan in our budget that worked for us! She was so patient and kind to us ...
and broke things down into steps we could understand. She even burned a copy of our song so we could practice every time to it. And she came up step options that went with our song so we could pick the steps that we felt best comfortable with. We just wanted to not do the typical high school side shuffle for our first dance. My husband wanted to shock everyone and learn how to do a simple dance. Well Paula had her hands full with us but she is a miracle worker! We learned and executed a great first dance and surprised our friends and family by actually having an interesting first dance yet we were still able to look into each other’s eyes not focusing on steps but our focusing on our first dance as husband and wife. Thank you Paula for ensuring that our first dance was a wonderful romantic moment in our lives that we will never forget and could never thank you enough for! She is the best and I highly recommend to anyone thinking of lessons to do them as without a doubt it was not only fun learning together but it was completely worth it to get that extra special moment with my husband!! Paula you are awesome!
Ludo and Nick were wonderful!!!
My fiance and I had a blast learning to dance, however we wish we had done it earlier and not during the most stressful part of the planning.
We were supposed to take 4 lessons ...
but at $80 for a 40 minute lesson, we decided on 2. On our wedding day, we were just so enammered with each other that we went out on the dance floor and held each other tight..
