Hi! I'm Eolian (aka Eos), an actively competitive ballroom dancer in NYC. I actually started ballroom dancing as an adult! So even though we are the current vice-champions of USA Dance Amateur Nationals, I remember well the feeling of stepping onto a floor with nothing but two left feet and nerves. Teaching wedding dances has turned me into an absolute cheesy romantic, and I absolutely love creating first dances with couples that fit their priorities, be it beautiful memories, stunning photographs, or skills that allow them to dance in the future. Reach out via the contact tab, and let's talk about your day!

If you're reading this, stop reading and reach out to Silvien Wedding Steps. I cannot stress enough how great Eolian is. My fiancee and I worked with her on our first dance, and se...
riously couldn't be happier. Our song was upbeat, and we're not dancers, so we knew we'd need some help.
Scheduling was easy and flexible - we had some lessons on weekends and some on weeknights depending on our availability.
Eolian was able to put together the perfect dance - it feels like us from top to bottom, and she has a superpower for getting it out of her couples while making the whole experience SO FUN the whole time. Like I said, we weren't dancers, so we had to learn some basic steps in addition to our specific choreography. I was nervous going in, but by the second lesson I would seriously look forward to going to dance lessons. Eolian is friendly and funny and professional and made us feel comfortable and safe while we were doing lifts and dips and dancing (poorly sometimes). I could keep singing Eolian's praises forever. She's all the things you want in a teacher, and also just generally super talented.
Seriously. Stop reading and reach out. You've found the perfect instructor.

I would highly recommend Silvien Wedding Steps to anyone who is interested in taking dance lessons. My wife and I took dance lessons with Eolian for about three months prior to our...
wedding, and we couldn’t recommend her highly enough. Eolian was truly a fantastic instructor. She was patient, fun, good at explaining herself, and could easily adapt on the fly if we were struggling to understand certain steps or lifts. She was always accommodating to our schedule and would be very responsive whenever we reached out with questions (which was very appreciated considering how busy she is). If you are looking for a hardworking, experienced, and talented dance instructor who is always very friendly and brings a positive vibe to her lessons, look no further than Eolian and Silvien Wedding Steps.

If you want a wedding choreographer who can turn mild panic into a Bridgerton-worthy first dance, hire Eolion.
Our first dance ended up being a hit and turned out perfectly, large...
ly thanks to her patience, humor, and wonderfully eclectic energy. She somehow made us look elegant while keeping the process genuinely fun.
Also, be warned:
• Strange loyalty to foam cup ramen
• Possible sword enthusiast
• Frequent use of finger guns
10/10. Would trust again with choreography.

1) Listen there's no microwave at the studio but there is a kettle and I need instant ...
meals.
2) ABSOLUTE sword enthusiast, everybody reading this ask me about my sword dancing I'll talk your ear off.
3) IT STARTED IRONICALLY AND I NOW I CAN'T STOP
<3 <3 <3 miss our lessons so much.

We worked with Eolian for our first dance and she was exactly what we needed. Neither of us came in with any real dance background, and she had this incredible ability to read wher...
e we were (not just skill-wise, but comfort-wise) and build the choreography around that rather than forcing us into something that felt out of reach. Every move she taught us was explained clearly (even the ones we’d never heard of) and by the end it felt genuinely learnable rather than like we were just white-knuckling our way through it. The dance came together in a way that felt like us, and we ended up with some truly beautiful photos from it. Couldn’t recommend her more.

and fun ideas, and your nerves really wore off fast over the first couple of lessons. And I haven't even see the photos until now AAAAAHHHH SO GOOOD!!

We came in with a rough idea of what we wanted and they transformed it into a beautiful, personalized routine. Their patience, creativity, and encouragement made every lesson enjoyable, even for beginners.
On the big day, we felt confident and had so much fun! We received so many compliments from our guests.
We’re so grateful for their guidance and would highly recommend them to any couple looking to make their dream wedding dance a reality!

le to no dance experience, we were very nervous about doing a fully choreographed first dance (as opposed to simply swaying), but Eolian made it achievable and was able to tailor moves to our comfort and capability level. She was very patient with us as we were practicing, and we felt confident going into the dance. Our guests absolutely LOVED our first dance and it's a moment we will remember forever.

HIGHLY RECOMMEND for any kind of dance lessons (esp wedding!)
As non-dancers, we originally didn't even want to do a wedding dance but felt obligated to. We went to another dance ...
studio and found it very choreographed - we wanted to be more free and natural. I stumbled upon Silvien Wedding Steps and we bonded instantly! Eolian is extremely flexible to couples' style and wishes, helping us edit the song and come up with some signature dance moves to pull out if we were stuck. We had so much fun rehearsing and always ended up laughing the whole time. She always emphasized that it's about the feeling / memory you create rather than memorizing a bunch of steps. Highly recommend for non-dancers and dancers alike!

Oh I appreciate you guys so much! It was so, so much fun to laugh through the lessons and ...
watch you guys having fun, y'all are still one of the most adorable couples I've ever had!

s feel comfortable and confident, even though we both came in with little to no dance experience.
Her teaching style is patient, encouraging, and incredibly fun. She broke everything down into simple steps, always making sure we felt at ease while still pushing us to improve.
By the time the big day arrived, we felt prepared and excited to share our first dance, and it turned out to be one of the highlights of the evening.
If you’re looking for a dance instructor who is talented, kind, and genuinely invested in making your dance memorable, we cannot recommend Eolian enough. She truly made the whole process enjoyable!
