Jessica was arguably the best dollar-for-dollar spend of our whole wedding alongside maybe the venue itself.
My wife was a long-time swing dancer, I was a long-time practitioner of moving my body lightly side to side and looking awkward. Somehow, in a very brief time, Jessica put together a custom routine on Carla Bruni's "Moon River" that was so wonderful it is still talked about to this day by everyone who was there. Most importantly, Jessica taught me that I could, in fact, dance.
Jessica has a few key strengths that we appreciated:
First, Jessica both was willing to take a lot of input in what we were looking for, which itself isn't that amazing, but also was extremely good at knowing HOW to work with two people who have no choreography experience, take our thoughts, and translate them into things we didn't even know we wanted. In the end, we got a highly personal routine that we loved and felt very "us." While she was, realistically, entirely at the controls of the choreography (thank god), it very much felt like a joint effort.
Second, Jessica is an excellent instructor, and given the multiple lifts in our routine, made sure we did everything correctly and safely. She knew what parts we needed to practice, and how to do it, making excellent use of frankly our objectively limited amount of time. We did not need to practice that much on our own to get ourselves from 0 to 100. In the end, the package gave us exactly the amount of time we needed with Jessica - she's a very focused and experienced instructor.
Finally, Jessica was a wonderful person to work with both because she was clearly so capable and also so pleasant. She was encouraging, insightful, and firm when she needed to be. She knew exactly how to motivate us and keep us on track with the short time from starting to our wedding. She even came out the day before to do a final on-location rehearsal in the spot we would be dancing in to make sure we had there right positioning cues for the big day.
I cannot recommend Jessica enough. If you want a routine that will get the crowd's waterworks going and that you'll remember for the rest of your life, give her a call.
Jessica is an outstanding coordinator. I appreciated her punctuality and effective communication! She helped my vision come true to life for my wedding! Her dances were so much fun and easy to learn under her instruction. We had several classes to learn everything, and I left feeling extremely confident and classic ;) (Thank you Jessica 🤍)
I had requested a performance for my sisters wedding ! It came out amazing and made the wedding very special! I appreciate the punctuality that was taken! I’ll be sure to book again with with Jessica!
I first met Jessica when I took a private salsa dance lesson with her years ago. I remember how she made me feel so confident and she was so knowledgeable in the different styles of salsa and how to make me look good when dancing. I knew she would be the perfect person to choreograph my first dance at my wedding and she did not disappoint. She made me and my husband feel so comfortable and I’ll always cherish the practices we had together, laughing, making mistakes, and having fun. It all contributed to such an amazing dance at our wedding. I would definitely hire her if you’re looking for a supportive, knowledgeable, and engaging choreographer!
Rising Rhythm has been tremendously helpful in executing our finale performance. They even helped us pick out our costume. They broke the movements down and made sure that we understood the process. Definitely will recommend them to my family and friends!
Innovative and punctual
I don't typically leave reviews, but I had to leave a review for Jessica of Rising Rhythm. She completely changed the experience of my entire wedding for myself, my husband, and all my guests. Not only is Jessica multitalented, but she is also the most humble, welcoming, and confidence-boosting visionary with the utmost attention to detail. She incorporated everything AND MORE than my husband and I could have expected for our first dance and our surprise dance which was SO FUN. I have always loved the idea of a surprise dance, but never in a million years did I think someone could convince me to actually do it (hubby and I did a hip-hop dance together and even surprised him with a sexy dance which he loved!). She really believes in her clients and will be your #1 hype woman. I felt so empowered, beautiful, and fierce!! LOOK NO FURTHER... She is the answer to all of your perfect wedding dance/dances hopes and dreams.
Thank you so much Jessica!!! We will definitely work together again. Private lesson soon?!
I am so thankful for Jessica of rising rhythm for taking her time and lending her expertise and attention to detail in preparing me for my first dance. I am not known as a confident dancer, but all my guest felt that I was in my element, due to Jessica allowing me to feel like I could be myself and dance naturally and freely. I would recommend Jessica and rising rhythm to anyone looking to enhance their wedding experience! She was very flexible in her ability to meet with me and help me hone my skills, which was greatly appreciated.
Working with Jessica for my wedding was such a fun and easy process. The end result was worth all the effort and I loved how much care she put into working with my husband and I!
My wife and I hired Jessica for our wedding and she choreographed a cute salsa duet for us. We met once a week for two hours over the course of 8 weeks. She is extremely talented and patient and knew how to make this experience for us so much fun! Jessica is reliable, efficient, and proficient in so many styles of dance. My wife and loved this experience! I highly recommend hiring Jessica for your cute wedding dance duet! You will be so happy you did!
My partner and I are both artists and performers so we wanted someone who would help us create a fun interactive performance for us and our guests.
Rising Rhythm (Jessica) listened to all of our ideas and desires and created a beautiful experience for us to express our love through dance!
She was amazing! Im so happy found her.
I loved her energy! She has this amazing confidence you just can’t teach, but she will try her best to make your special day a dream come true! I will forever be grateful of everything we have learned from her and will continue to get lessons from her to keep the spark alive! 💜
Our wedding was back in 2018 and we had the best time learning our waltz and hip hop surprise performance for our reception. She even took time to help my parents learn a few steps while they were in town. Highly recommend, Jessica!
My (days to be) husband and I were fortunate enough to be able to work with Jessica to prepare for our first dance. Neither of us had any previous dance lesson experiences and were a bit nervous. Jessica made us feel so comfortable with each other and with her. We happy to say we are ready for the first dance!! With the wedding only days away, I can honestly say this was the best wedding prep money I've spent! We highly recommend Jessica :)
I have two left feet, my fiance is a pro! but at the end of the hour I was surprised to see that Jessica was able to teach me much more than I thought I could ever learn in an hour Salsa lesson. She is very good at breaking down the steps and gently encouraged me to make corrections I needed to. Definitely would hire her again.
Extremely responsive, easy to work with, flexible and wonderful!
Very easy work and made us feel very comfortable.
Had a great time
Jessica is incredible! Took our tired group and turned it all around for my sisters wedding suprise performance. Everyone who participated was smiling the whole time. Absolute blast working with Jessica, her attitude is out of this world! Highly recommend.
I had so much fun and felt so prepared on my wedding day! My bridesmaids and I surprised my husband with a cute, fun, sexy dance. Moves were broken down enough to learn and the choreography wasn’t too hard to learn. Thank you again!!!
I had absolute fun with Rising Rhythm. I didn’t know where to start with our wedding surprise dance. Jessica did an awesome job in teaching me and my hubby how to shake. Everyone at my wedding enjoyed and loved our performance. It was one of the best moments in my wedding, I was able to enjoy it and feel the excitement. I loved seeing the smile of everyone’s faces as me and my husband danced. If I could have her teach me again I would a thousand times. I had so much fun learning since it was my first time ever performing like this. Thank you Rising Rhythm, you saved my wedding day!!
Jessica was the most professional, caring, talented and creative teacher! Her work was beyond expectation. She helped bring my first dance and surprise dance vision to life! She was very knowledgeable about the dances I was interested in - ie. Latin dance and waltz, and made me and my husband feel so comfortable during the learning process. She shared her expansive knowledge of dance with us, while still allowing us freedom of expression. Thank you, Jessica - for your expertise and support! You made our big day extra special!!!
We just had our first dance class with Jessica and had a great time! Not only is she a great dancer and teacher, but she also created a fun environment and was very open to how we wanted to do things. Thanks!
