Melendrez Dance Studios

ance floor, this is your guy. From the very first lesson he was incredibly patient, caring, and genuinely invested in helping us feel comfortable and confident. What made the experience so great was how fun and interactive every lesson was. He has an amazing sense of humor and somehow managed to keep us laughing even when we completely forgot the steps for the tenth time. Instead of making the process stressful, he made it something we actually looked forward to every week. He’s also extremely personable and adapts the choreography to fit your style and comfort level, which made the dance feel natural instead of forced. By the time our wedding came around, we went from being nervous about our first dance to actually being excited for it. Our first dance turned out amazing and we received so many compliments. If you think you can’t dance, trust me, he’ll prove you wrong. Highly recommend!

ur style. Neither of us are dancers, but he made everything feel simple and manageable. Each lesson was fun, and we always left feeling like we had learned something new. He is incredibly dedicated and very responsive, and that made scheduling and communication really easy throughout the whole process. You can tell he genuinely cares about his students and wants them to feel comfortable and confident. He was always patient with us and took the time to explain things until we got it right. The best part is how much more confident I feel now about our first dance. I was honestly nervous in the beginning, but thanks to his guidance and encouragement, I actually feel excited to perform it on our wedding day. I would absolutely recommend him to anyone looking for help with their wedding dance. He’s an amazing teacher and made this whole experience fun and stress-free for us.

l. He is engaging, attentive to our vision, and collaborative throughout the process, making thoughtful adjustments along the way. We now have a beautiful first dance we are excited to share with our guests. We truly couldn’t imagine working with anyone else.

more exciting and more enjoyable now. I recommend him highly for anyone that wants to take that first step in making salsa fun and sexy.

dancing as much as he does. 

ch move and turn with both partners. Best part is that he makes it fun! We are so happy to have Jonanthon as our dance instructor. 

teaching- he is ALWAYS encouraging, even tho I am a beginner. He reinforces things he’s taught and builds learning new steps at a pace that’s good for each student. I DEFINITELY & STRONGLY recommend Jonathan as an EXCELLENT dance instructor no matter what your age or what your ability is!! Jonathan is also personable and fun and very organized!

of a choreography I loved from online. He’s a great teacher patient, clear, and encouraging which has made the learning process so smooth and fun. We’re only on our third session, yet we already feel confident and excited about how amazing we’ll look on the big day!  The studio itself is clean, spacious, and very accessible. We highly recommend Jonathon and this studio to anyone looking for a great dance experience!

eograph the dance.  Jonathon was fun to work with, helped teach the moves and he makes you feel like you can do anything on the dance floor. With laughter and sweat, he makes it happen!

to perform their First Dances as married couples. An instructor who makes the process relaxed and fun, Jonathon is the first call you need to make whether it is the First Dance for your wedding or any other occasion. He is a seasoned veteran who will create a memorable choreography which you can easily follow whether you are a first time or experienced dancer.

ok so bad. The sessions are filled with laughter, encouragement, and clear instructions that make even complex steps feel achievable. We’ve had so much fun during the process of choreographing and Jonathon truly brings such great energy and positivity to every session. I highly recommend him!

Highly recommend!

rselves on the dance floor. We tend to procrastinate at times but Jonathan was able to help us construct a great dance routine in two weeks! Communication was quick and prompt with no issues through text and call. His profound experience was evident in the way he developed our dance technique.

, we’re gifting lessons to our friends as wedding gifts.

s our dance lessons also turn into a fun date for us! Highly recommend! :)

not most coordinated person and he had him feeling so confident just after our first class! Highly recommend 💕

t wait to share what we have learned with our family! an amazing experience learning a dance for the first time.

my fiancé and I want. He is patient, truly cares about the outcome of the dances, and explains things in a way that makes it simple for us even though we are beginner dancers. Not to mention, it’s always such a fun time in the studio and will definitely be some of the memories we will love looking back on when we think of our engagement year. Highly recommend!

knowledgeable, has a great sense of humor, and made us feel so comfortable right away. We are so excited to continue our lessons with Jonathon, and I know our first dance is going to be fantastic!

! Our guests were clapping and screaming the entire time. It was the most amazing experience and we will never forget it! Thank you so much Johnathan ! We can’t wait to come back and learn more.

teach us. We can’t wait to show off the amazing dance we learned for our wedding. Jonathan has pushed us to our limits with dance moves we didn’t even think we could do. If you’re thinking about dance lessons, we definitely recommend booking with Jonathan, it was worth every penny.

Jonathon is not only incredibly talented, but so patient with us as beginners. Lessons are super fun, the atmosphere is awesome, and you gain skills/confidence quick through Jonathon's instruction! Highly, highly recommend!!

times we weren't the best students - yet Johnathan helped us to overcome every obstacle. He was highly recommended by our wedding planner and now we know why! We are now relaxed, confident and sure to have fun during our first dance. Thank you Johnathan!

ed us create, with a style of his own mixed with some traditional moves, will blow away the actual fireworks we have planned at our wedding. His approach is soft enough for a beginner, and seasoned enough to prep you for dancing with the stars. His enthusiasm in every class motivated us to push the limits; we were always excited for dance class. The One on One Lessons are totally worth it. Would highly recommend.

I was extremely skeptical of this entire process, but it ended up being my favorite expense of my entire wedding!! I hate dancing, but these lessons made it fun and gave me great confidence!!! I cannot believe how long of way I came in just a few months. My wife is absolutely ecstatic with how our dance came out, and is also in disbelief we were able pull something this beautiful off. THANK YOU!!!!

urned us into really good dancers by the third week. He is patient and funny and we had a blast learning how to “dance with the stars” with him. I felt like I was practicing for the actual show every time we went. I would highly recommend him for your wedding dance or any other dances you might want to learn. Thank you Jonathon!!

acher for our first dance. Highly recommend him.

hought into the choreography and worked to incorporate elements based on the bride’s dress, the song, dance floor location, and so on. My fiancée and I are so happy we went with Melendrez Dance Studios for our first dance and can't wait to show the final dance at our wedding reception Saturday!

very knowledgeable and professional in showing us how to dance and perform. He was very encouraging and made us feel good while we worked on our dance that will a lifetime. Deff recommended!!!

overall experience unforgettable. The atmosphere is welcoming and comfortable, making everything that much more pleasant. Jonathon pays attention to details and adds finishing touches that make the choreography smoother. If you are looking to take your first dance to the next level, then Jonathon is your man!

and my fiance has never danced in their life, and with Jonathan’s skill he made it possible and created beautiful coreographies. Thank you Jonathan for making my dream come true!!

wait for the big day!

be able to pick up the routine. This lead us to Jonathon. We couldn’t be happier. What a phenomenal teacher! He put together an amazing routine with a Bride and Groom mash up and not only was it easy to pick up with his guidance but has been a truly great experience. We can’t wait to surprise our guests & perform this at our wedding!

numerous breathtaking lifts and drops. The detail and precision in Jon's teaching was evident, and he was very patient and fun in the process. We are very happy with the final product and have a lasting memory from our time together. Will likely be coming back for more!

he moves. We came to him with a song from brasil (not a classical song) and he just listening to it a few times, and just like that had a choreography for us to work on. We have taken 5 classes with him already and we enjoy every minute of it. Thanks Jon for all of your help and patience!
