There is not enough stars or space to express how amazing Magic Wedding Dance, and specifically Allison, are! We did the at home dance lessons and Allison from session one made it so fun and comfortable. We gave her our song and when she showed up day one she already had chorography planned out and tailored it to our dance skill levels. We had a such a fun time during our four sessions and will never forget practicing in our kitchen all they way up to our wedding day. We have already recommended both Allison and Magic Wedding Dance to our friends who are getting married later this year. We can't thank Allison and Magic Wedding Dance enough for making our first dance perfect! If you are having reservations about dance lessons this is worth every penny and would do it all over again.

Use Magic Wedding Dance! Anna was amazing and she teaches you without you feeling your being taught. Itās just fun!
Anna helped my husband and me, who are challenged with 2 left feet, look elegant at our sonās wedding. The confidence we had on the dance floor was a joy!
What else makes Anna stand out? Well, she comes to your home and brings everything she needs like a couple of mirrors and a small speaker. So convenient! Anna has a masterās in dance education which you may not have discovered. She adapts easily to her clientās style, and gives you instruction in a way that works for you.
I cannot recommend Anna strongly enough. Use her and find out how awesome she is!

We had our wedding in April 2024 and worked with Alison to choreograph our first dance! My partner and I were very nervous at first, knowing that we didnāt have any dance experience and being more on the shy side. However, Alison was super understanding and met us where we were at! We had come up with our first dance song and some inspiration videos that we were looking into and let her know what we were comfortable doing/not doing and Alison worked right away to choreograph our dance! We absolutely loved it! Even in our last few lessons we had our dance down and she still helped us with way that we could modify our dance / if we wanted to add anything on! On the wedding day itself, I had a little hiccup with my dance but with Alisonās preparation and training, I was able to roll with it and get back into the dance with ease. Alison really helped us build our courage and confidence with our first dance and we are so appreciative of Magic Wedding Dance and Alison for all their work and help! We definitely recommend Magic Wedding Dance for your dancing needs!

Wedding Dance Review for Anna & Alison: A Dream Team!
We are absolutely thrilled to share our experience with Anna and Alison, our incredible wedding dance coaches!
From the moment we started working with them, we knew we were in great hands. They are truly a dream team, and we couldnāt have asked for a better pair to help us create the perfect wedding dance.
Anna went above and beyond to choreograph the most amazing routine for us. We chose the "Dirty Dancing" dance, and it was everything we dreamed of and more. Anna's creativity and attention to detail made our dance so special, and she worked tirelessly to ensure it was perfect. Her passion for teaching and dedication to making our dance performance shine was evident from the very first lesson.
Alison was a key part of our journey as well. She worked with us on multiple occasions and brought so much energy and positivity to every session. Her upbeat and professional approach helped us feel comfortable and confident as we learned the steps. Alison was always there to offer guidance and encouragement, ensuring we stayed on track and had fun along the way.
Both Anna and Alison were incredibly professional, fun, and upbeat throughout the entire process. They made each lesson feel exciting and enjoyable, and their creativity made the entire experience magical. Their support and encouragement helped us go from beginners to nailing our performance on the big day.
We feel so blessed to have had Anna and Alison by our side from day one all the way through to our wedding day. Their expertise, kindness, and dedication made our wedding dance experience unforgettable. We canāt recommend them enough ā they are truly the best, and we are forever grateful for everything they did to make our performance flawless!
If youāre looking for a team that will make your wedding dance experience fun, stress-free, and absolutely perfect, look no further than Anna and Alison! You wonāt regret it. We are so thankful for them and the amazing memories they helped us create. ššš

We canāt thank Anna at Magic Wedding Dance enough! We came in with minimal dance experience, and I was a complete novice with no rhythm and little confidence, just hoping to survive a basic dance without embarrassing myself. But Anna had much bigger dreams for us! She is so friendly, caring, and an incredible instructor who made us feel completely at ease from the start. As a same sex couple, we deeply appreciated how welcoming and inclusive Anna was, and she perfectly crafted a dance that fit our unique style and story. She patiently started with the basics and guided us step-by-step until we had a full performance that was elegant, smooth, and absolutely unforgettable. We never imagined we could dance like this, but Anna made it possible. If you want to wow your guests and create a memory to last a lifetime, Anna is the one to make it happen!

It was an absolute joy working with Anna to come up with our perfect āfirst dance!ā Anna is an amazing instructor, catering to each individualās strengths from a place of encouragement, and guiding those strengths into a beautiful dance. She instructed us not only on movement, but on enhancing communication through movement, and just having plain old fashion fun. Anna is a fantastic instructor, a delight to spend time with, and just and all around wonderful human being.
We continue to get compliments on our dance from our reception guests, my mom holds it as one of her top memories from the day. We feel the same.
My Dad and I also worked with Anna for my father/daughter dance. Our lessons were full of laughter and fun, which translated to our dance at the reception. My parents share the same admiration for Anna as me and my now husband.
Our family highly recommends āMagic Wedding Dance!ā

We couldnāt have asked for a better experience with Anna as our wedding dance instructor! From the start, she made the process fun and comfortable. We wanted a vibrant salsa dance for our first dance, and Anna brought that vision to life with her warm, encouraging approach.
She broke down every step in a way that made us feel confident and at ease, no matter how tricky the moves.
The best part was how much fun we had throughout the entire process. Anna made learning to dance something we could truly enjoy together, and weāll always cherish that. If youāre looking for a dance instructor who makes the experience stress-free and unforgettable, Anna is the one!
Thank you, Anna! Youāre the best!

ANNA IS THE GOAT! Me and my husband are crazy and when we asked if she could help us with a fun choreographed dance she was so excited to help us do something different and unique, our guests loved it! even when we asked for assistance to be on roller skates, she was there driving a long time to meet us at a park making us skate experts. Anna is down for the challenge and always willing to listen and adjust. Itās so easy to communicate with her, and she flawlessly made changes when we wanted to change certain things. We loved her so much we asked her to join us as a guest and even killed it on the dance floor with all our guests. She was so wonderful and even after a year and half from our wedding people still talk about our dance. Anna is such a great friend and willing to go above and beyond in every way. Even if youāre wanting something simple, I know she would help you fulfill all your dreams. There is so much stress to wedding planning and she made our life so much better and I am glad to have met and work with her. What a true talent!!! š¼š¼š¼QUEEN OF DANCE - take the plunge , or a beautiful dance dip, and let Anna join your special day. HIGHLY HIGHLY RECOMMEND !!

Dance lessons was by far one of the best parts of our wedding planning process- Anna was so sweet and patient and extremely good at what she does! She somehow turns clumsy uncoordinated dancers like myself into an amazing dancer, and it wasnāt even overwhelming. It was simply FUN!! š¤© all of our guests were blown away by our first dance. I feel this was one of the best investments because not only did it result in an epic dance on our wedding day, but it allowed us to connect in a new way and has taught us skills and movements that we can practice together in the years to come! Anna goes above and beyond - Thank you Anna! ā¤ļø

Her approach made us comfortable and relaxed. We were total beginners and were initially a bit nervous. She provided a calm presence and made lessons a lot of fun. We definitely looked forward to them.
She was always open to feedback and easily adapted choreography and methods to our preferences.

Anna was a phenomenal instructor. From the very start of our experience she made us feel very comfortable with ourselves and with her. From then her methods of teaching it was a great experience. She did a great job of boosting my partner's confidence and making sure that my partner was having lots of fun. She really listened to our likes and dislikes of the dance and was open to suggestions. I think my partner learned that it's ok to be silly while dancing and that it'll all turn out ok.
If you want a great dance company that will helpake your day very special I highly recommend connecting with them.

I will preface this review by saying my husband and I are notoriously socially inept, awkward, and lacking in rhythm. So when we chose our first dance song, which happened to be over 4 minutes long and incorporated metal elements, we knew we needed help.
Insert Anna. Where every other instructor we consulted told us "Good luck, I don't teach that style of dance", Anna exuberantly called us on the phone and told us all of her ideas for our "unique" song choice.
Over the next few months she easily integrated into our schedules and lives, listened to our stupid sense of humor, and dealt with our combined four left feet. She gave us a spreadsheet with a timeline for our dance moves, recorded what we learned at the end of every session, and basically made it impossible for us to fail.
At the end, we had an absolutely incredible dance that left our guests flabbergasted, us amazed at what we had achieved, and a new found friend. It also gave my husband and I built in date to look forward to every session.
If you're hesitant or nervous about hiring a dance instructor, don't even think twice about hiring Anna! If we can succeed and do as well as we did, literally anyone can.

Anna helped make our wedding so wonderfully memorable. My husband and I have ZERO dance experience and I feared we wouldnāt be able to pull it off. Annaās patience, extensive knowledge and professionalism allowed us to be comfortable stepping out of our comfort zone.
Annaās experience helped us prepare for more than just the dance, her suggestions allowed us to coordinate with the band and photographers to create not only an amazing event but now we have spectacular photos of our dips, lifts and all the joy of our first dance.
I would never have imagined our dance lessons would bring us closer as a couple and bring us so much lasting joy. Weāve even used some of our new moves after our wedding.
If you donāt have any experience dancing or donāt know where to start, you couldnāt be in better hands with Anna.

We worked with Allison and this was the highlight of our wedding planning process. We did six dance lessons to help us get comfortable dancing together in general as well as creating a routine for our first dance. We loved that she came to our apartment, which made it easier when wedding planning was extremely hectic. Allison truly cared about our first dance, came to every lesson prepared, and was always responsive to things we wanted to incorporate. She was incredibly enthusiastic, a talented teacher, and a pleasure to work with. Our first dance was beautiful and an incredibly special moment on our wedding day. We wish we could continue dance lessons post wedding because they were so enjoyable!

Anna was an AMAZING teacher. We absolutely shocked everyone at our wedding with how coordinated and well-executed our dance was. We had no prior knowledge or experience before starting, and in 2 quick sessions we went from stepping on each otherās toes to waltzing like pros. Anna was thoughtful, patient, and offered amazing advice to help us reach our goals. We didnāt want to do anything crazyājust didnāt want to look stupid during our danceāand Anna really went above and beyond making sure we would feel confident and comfortable in front of our crowd. We werenāt originally going to pay for dance lessons, but the packages with Magic Wedding Dance were exceedingly reasonable and I am so glad we invested in a teacher. Anna meeting us in our home with all of her mirrors was a great set up for us, so we didnāt have to drive to a studio where we felt uncomfortable or a group class where we worried we were being judged by other couples. We will carry our new dance skills into the rest of our marriage and will never forget Annaās amazing instruction. If you are on the fence about this investment, DO IT! It will bring you together in ways you canāt imagine yet!

We are so glad that we chose Magic Wedding Dance for dance lessons before our wedding! We did a package of 4 and I used one for a lesson with my dad, and me and my husband did 3 together. Not only did we have a lot of fun with the lessons themselves, but having a plan going into our first dance made our actual first dance experience SO much more fun. Looking back, our first dance is truly one of my highlights from our wedding and I do not think that would have been the case without the help of Anna from Magic Dance. It was also very worth it for the photos & video - we have so many great photos from the first dance! Anna was a great teacher and could adapt her teaching style to meet both my and my husband's learning styles (we are opposite learners). We also had fun with her at our lessons and really enjoyed working with her. Finally, the moves she taught us were perfect, and she choreographed a perfect dance for us. We could not recommend her more - this is definitely worth the investment and Anna is just a great dance teacher.

Anna was amazing! We were grateful Anna worked with our schedule and flew out of state to teach us. Anna had a lot of positive energy and figured out how my partner and I could dance together to Inside Out by Zedd and Gryff. Most couples dance to typical wedding songs but we wanted to dance to an artist we both loved. The lessons were fun to learn a mix of styles like swing, modified waltz, romantic dips, chinese ribbon dancing, and the exciting lifts. Anna took into account any previous injuries we had and ensured proper form to dance safely. We only had three sessions with her, but she believed in us and leveraged our very basic dance experience. At the end of the sessions, Anna took video of our dance and came up with helpful notes for each part of the song. With the videos, notes, and practicing a little everyday two weeks before our wedding, we dazzled guests. We had a lot of applause during the lifts! The first dance was our favorite part of the wedding, and we couldn't have done it without Anna figuring out how to dance to this unique song!

Ana is an incredible instructor. Our first session with her helped us make a connection with each other we couldn't have imagined before. I love how she personalized so much of our dance with us. We got to be part of creating the dance, not just learning it, and that made it even more special. I went in expecting to memorize choreography and feel a bit stressed but make it through. I came out comfortable with the waltz, several spins, and two dips--both leading and following! And now we can dance along with lots of music in ways I didn't think would be possible. If you want a special first dance that'll enhance your marriage, not just your wedding, and stay with you forever, work with Ana!

Cannot recommend enough!!! Anna created such an amazing, fun, and memorable first dance for my husband and I. We did a "through the decades" mash up that was super impressive yet very doable with Anna's help. Anna truly went above and beyond in every aspect of helping us develop and perform our first dance. She and the dance exceeded all of my expectations.
Anna is a gem and a joy to work with.

My husband and I working with Anna from Magic Wedding Dance for our wedding dance and she was absolutely amazing. We cannot say enough good things about her. Anna is organized, efficient, creative and an absolute joy to work with. You can trust her to bring your first dance vision to life, while also adding in special personal touches that elevate the performance. We do not have a lot of dance experience, and Anna helped us feel comfortable during the learning process and ultimately nail our performance on the big day! I would highly recommend hiring Magic Wedding Dance for your next choreographed dance!

My husband and I absolutely loved our 3 sessions that we had with Anna prior to our wedding. She is warm and kind and made both of us feel so comfortable (even my husband, who feels very self-conscious about dancing). Her teaching methods were more about encompassing the heart behind how we dance; getting us to feel the rhythm for ourselves and learn the little things we could do to improve our wedding dance. Her advice and directions were helpful and not overwhelming; each session we left feeling ready to practice some new elements. Our wedding dance was a big hit at our wedding and we felt so confident doing it. Thank you Anna!!

Anna is magic! My wife and I decided we wanted to go all-out with our first dance with a medley / mashup with a variety of dance styles. Finding the right instructor was critical to pulling it off. Anna was so accommodating to our demanding work schedules and came to our home on the weekends to work on our dance. Anna made it educational and fun and had a thoughtful plan for us over the course of our sessions. She was not only a great instructor but also a wonderful supporter! She believed in our abilities to learn fairly complex lifts which was the right encouragement we needed. The experience was fantastic and our dance was the highlight of the wedding for us and many of our guests. Itās a memory we will never forget thanks to Anna!

Anna was fantastic to work with! We had an absolute blast and our dance is still the talk of family events!!! We could not be more happy with taking lessons with her. She helped us build confidence in our ability to dance as individuals and as partners. One key part for us was communicating as lead and follow, with your arms! If you work with her youāll immediately realize she is a very thoughtful, positive, and encouraging instructor.
I thought we would immediately begin choreography but Iām glad she had us work on basic steps and getting comfortable before gradually building us up to being able to pull off the wedding dance of our dreams! We had so much fun, we are going to try to go out dancing for fun! Thank you Anna! <3 Sam & Malcolm

Anna from Magic Wedding Dance was one of the most memorable parts of our wedding day journey. My husband, who is not a dancer, decided he was up for dance lessons, so we could have a successful 1st dance to Ella Fitzgerald's "Cheek to Cheek". Anna offers dance lessons in your own home, as well as a venue of your choice, if you do not have a suitable space to learn in. Which doesn't have to be all that large anyways. During our lessons with her, we had sessions at my office, my husband's office, our local gym and a hotel!
Anna is very talented, not only at dancing, but figuring out exactly what kind of dance choreography we would be able to perform on our special day. She always showed up with a warm smile, prepared to work hard, and have a great time. She always took us through a warm up session to help get our bodies ready to move. She had a good selection of music to work with, and brought mirrors so we were able to see ourselves as we danced. The process of watching her create our wedding dance was very interesting and exciting. She was always up to adjusting the level of creativity so we felt comfortable in our movements. She was a very strong lead to help us understand what our movements should feel like, especially since my husband had not had any lessons ever, and it had been many years since I had any either. It was a great workout for us both! It also created a sweet level of intimacy throughout the process of learning and practicing together. One of the most important aspects of learning, is the practice you commit to. It makes everything flow much smoother.
My husband and I looked forward to our lesson days. They were fun and the time flew by. It was an activity we could share with each other in the evenings when we got home to each other. We were so grateful to have Anna as our instructor. She was very supportive, and made her self available to any questions we had. She encouraged us at every step of the process, and boosted our confidence in believing that we could have a smooth, beautiful and successful dance. She even makes herself available, as part of her services offered, to come be part of the dance party, or support system on a couples wedding day. We had a terrific dance on our wedding day, despite my husband sweating so much I almost slipped out of his hands.
We can't wait to take lessons with her again!

Anna is an amazing teacher! She is down to earth, easy to talk to and a fantastic teacher. My husband and I had so much fun at each dance lesson. She helped us learn how to get more in sync with one another through movement.
The dance she created for us was so fun and very us. I also want to call out Anna's compassion and caring. We had our last dance lesson planned just days after my husband's mother unexpectedly died. We were understandably sad and unsure of our dance and frankly, our wedding. Anna held space for us, encouraged us and the transformation we both felt over the two hours of that lesson was incredible.
Our dance was a very special part of our wedding and that is completely due to Anna. I would love an excuse to take lessons with her again!

If you're looking for a hidden gem among wedding dance instructors, you'll find one in Alison at Magic Dance Wedding.
From our experience, she is the epitome of talent, charm, and professionalism.
We were captivated by her incredible talent from the moment we met her. Her mastery of various dance styles is genuinely awe-inspiring. She effortlessly guided us through each step and made us comfortable opening up. It's evident that dance flows through her veins, and her passion shines through in every move she teaches.
Beyond her remarkable skills, Alison has a disarming nature that immediately puts you at ease. Planning a wedding can be overwhelming, and the thought of dancing in front of a crowd can be nerve-wracking. Alison's warm and approachable demeanor creates an environment where you feel comfortable stepping out of your comfort zone. It's like dancing with a friend who genuinely cares about your progress and enjoyment.
One of the most memorable aspects of our experience with Alison was the sheer fun we had during our lessons. She knows how to strike the perfect balance between teaching techniques and creating a joyful atmosphere. Laughter filled the room as we practiced our dance routines, making the entire learning process an absolute blast. She has a gift for infusing each session with excitement, ensuring that everyone leaves with smiles.
What truly sets Alison apart is her kindness and professionalism. She genuinely cares about her students' goals and tailors her instruction to their specific needs. Whether you're a beginner taking your first steps or an experienced dancer seeking to polish your skills, Alison goes above and beyond to guide you on your journey. Her patience knows no bounds, and she will work tirelessly to ensure you feel confident and ready for your big day.
We wholeheartedly recommend Alison to any couple, regardless of their skill level. Her talent, disarming nature, fun-filled approach, and unwavering professionalism create an experience that surpasses expectations. Our dance lessons with her not only prepared us for our wedding but also created lasting memories that we will cherish forever.
You won't find a better instructor to guide you on your journey to an unforgettable wedding dance and a fantastic time getting there.

Anna Magidson is an outstanding dance instructor, with an infinite amount of patience and kind demeanor. My daughter and I had no dance experience but wanted to do a father/daughter dance at my daughter's wedding. In three, two-hour lessons, Anna taught us basic dance steps, how dance partners communicate nonverbally, and helped us choreograph a beautiful father/daughter dance.
After this experience, my wife (no experience dancing) and I will take line dancing, because I enjoyed learning to dance with my daughter so much.
I would recommend Anna to anyone interested in learning to dance.

We contacted Anna at Magic Wedding Dance to help us prepare for the traditional first dance during our reception. Neither of us are frequent dancers but wanted to do something that was fun and felt good. Anna helped us meet this goal and here are some of my observations about the experience:
-Dancing is an interesting exercise in communication. It requires patience and attention. When not using words to communicate, as the lead it took some work for me to understand how to clearly convey my intentions. This further lead me to consider how clearly communicating what I am thinking is an important skill to practice both on and off the dance floor. Additionally, I found it important not to assume what my partner was doing, but rather pay attention to what she was actually doing. When we made a mistake, it felt obvious to us, but I learned that it was often imperceptible to an observer. This feels like an important life lesson in that how we perceive events through our subjective experience is often quite different from how it is perceived by others.
-Anna is a great teacher who brings a sense of fun and simplicity to the experience. She is professional, encouraging, and loves what she does. Dancing can be overwhelming, but she helped us understand the basic building blocks we needed to feel confident. Anna gave us a well thought out introduction to dance fundamentals that is applicable to almost any kind of music. She introduced these elements in a fun and natural way that helped me feel confident. As someone who has always felt embarrassed about dancing, her encouragement and guidance was easily given and accepted. Working with her was a great experience that I would recommend to anyone looking to improve their dance skills.
-I communicated our chosen song to Anna, and my initial assumption is that we would dive into that song and figure out what our routine would be. This isnāt exactly what happened. Annaās approach was to first give us a simple set of building blocks. We eventually started to work on the song, and these building blocks easily translated into what we needed. Iām thankful that she approached teaching us in the way she did, as my wife and I now have a repertoire of skills that apply to more than just our wedding song.
- It was rewarding to feel my wifeās sense of satisfaction and happiness when things were finally starting to click during our sessions. This translated to a feeling of fun and relaxation during our first dance. Seeing her smile as we were easily doing something that we had previously found intimidating was my favorite part of the experience.
I absolutely recommend Anna to anyone feeling nervous or wanting to prepare for their reception dance. She truly cares and will work with you to ensure that you have good experience.

My fiancƩe and I were swamped with wedding preparations so we chose a 3 lesson package with Anna (probably would have taken more lessons if we had more time). It was extremely convenient to have her come to our house to save us time. Starting at essentially ground zero, Anna built us up with some fundamental Waltz steps, then turns/moves, and then eventually the initial choreography for our First Dance. She is a patient, knowledgeable, and extremely enthusiastic/encouraging instructor. Very easy to work with! Our First Dance song was a challenging sing rhythm-wise so it was helpful to have Anna listen to it in advance. By the end of our final lesson, Anna had given us enough foundation that we fine-tuned the rest of the choreography ourselves. On our wedding day, our dance was a HIT with our guests! Make sure you PRACTICE often in the final days leading up to wedding too, I suspect this was also key.
All in all, this was money and time very well spent. You wonāt regret it at all and will be surprised at how much you learn and improve your such session, even if you have two left feet. Thank you Anna! Your work lives on in our videos :)

Anna Madgson with Magic Wedding Dance was one of the best last minute decisions we made for our wedding! From the very start, she was easy to communicate with & transparent about her pricing & schedule. We took 5 lessons, in our home, from her. Anna was easy to learn from, to understand, and overall FUN to work with. My husband ādoesnāt danceā and she made him dance! He ended up getting so into our first dance that he was making sure we practiced every night more than me. Our first dance was beautiful, NATURAL, & perfectly choreographed to the song of our choice, all thanks to Anna. We truly looked forward to seeing her on the mornings she came to our home. Sheās respectful, kind, and will go out of her way to help you in any way possible. She also has an extensive network with friends in different industries all over and ended up helping us out the week of our wedding with an additional vendor. Sheās amazing all around!

My partner and I had the pleasure of working with Anna for our wedding dance, and we couldn't be more thrilled with the experience. She completely surpassed our expectations.
From the moment we met Anna, we knew we were in good hands. Her warm and friendly demeanor instantly put us at ease, and we felt comfortable asking questions and expressing any concerns we had about our dance. Anna's extensive experience as a dance instructor was evident from the start, and we were impressed by her ability to tailor our lessons to our individual needs and skill levels.
Anna's teaching style is clear and concise, making even the most complicated dance moves feel achievable. She was patient and supportive throughout our lessons, encouraging us to practice and providing helpful feedback along the way. We appreciated that Anna was able to strike a balance between challenging us to improve and ensuring that we felt confident and comfortable with our dance.
Thanks to Anna's expert guidance, our wedding dance was an absolute success! Our guests were blown away by our performance, and we received countless compliments on our dance throughout the night. We truly couldn't have done it without Anna's help, and we feel so grateful to have had her as our dance instructor.
The time we spent with Anna doing dance lessons were an absolute joy. In reflecting back on those times, she helped us create some cherished memories. She is truly gifted, and one of the best teachers we've ever had - not just in dance, but in general.
Overall, I highly recommend Anna Magdison at Magic Wedding Dance to anyone looking for a talented, experienced, and supportive dance instructor. She truly made our wedding dance a magical experience, and we will always be grateful for her expertise and guidance.

My wife and Iās experience working with Anna wasā¦fantastic.
As someone who was insecure about dancing and body movements, and knowing I would need to āperformā at my wedding, I was very adamant that we find a way to learn a dance well before our wedding.
We chose Anna because she was clearly very passionate about dance and extremely competent. Sheās excellent at keeping things light and fun but also focused and efficient.
What happened in our weeks of training was much more than I expected. I didnāt just learn to dance; I become far more comfortable with how I look and feel. My wife and I bonded in ways we never had previously. We learned how to solve problems in different ways. We learned to laugh at ourselves more. Fantastic stuff.
To top it off, our dance on the day of was so so so awesome. It was the highlight of our wedding for us and many guests, and our wedding was NOT a drab affair, so thatās saying something. We had standing applause multiple times through the dance. People were stunned by the end. That final moment of complete silence as it ended, right before everyone lost their heads throwing flowers and applauding still gets me teared-up to think about.
TLDR: Choose Anna. Put in the work. Together you will an experience you never thought possible.
