g an incredible choreographerāyouāre gaining a lifelong friend.
We were recommended Soni by two of our close friends who had used her as their wedding choreographer, and after seeing their couplesā dances, we knew we wanted to work with her too...
. From the start, Soni was incredible to work with. She held live sessions with us, which really kept us accountable and helped us stay on top of learning the choreography. Thanks solely to working with Soni, our couplesā dance ended up being the best of all our 10+ performances! One of Soniās greatest strengths is her ability as an instructor. My husband and I came in with very different levels of dance experience, yet by the final performance we looked completely in sync. Her teaching style is clear, detailed, and easy to understand, which made a huge difference. She also did an amazing job tailoring the choreography to exactly what we asked for. We wanted more lifts and sections that highlighted our individual strengths, and she incorporated everything beautifully. Additionally, since my husband and I come from different parts of India, our music included three different languages. Soni went above and beyond by researching the meanings of the songs and creating choreography that truly matched the emotions and lyrics, making the performance feel even more special. Overall, learning from Soni was fun, seamless, and an absolute pleasure. We couldnāt have asked for a better choreographer for our wedding - highly recommend!!
Sohniās choreography is nothing short of extraordinary. The engagement dance was flawless from start to finish, and Iām still in awe. Thereās truly no one else Iād trust with my ch...

The choreo was well thought out and her tutorial videos helped tremendously. I didn't end up looking like a fool on stage and felt like my high school self again!

for our level of dance experience. We love Soni and highly recommend her!
We had the pleasure of working with Soni for our wedding choreography. She choreographed our first dance and the mother-son dance. Soni was extremely easy to work with, very quick ...
to come up with the steps, and most importantly very detail-oriented when it came to proper dance technique. We shared our music with her and she was ready with choreography in about a week. It was also extremely convenient to have the lessons virtually so we could use the recordings for practice on our own time. She also is truly passionate about making sure we look good and feel comfortable, even if we had to extend our lesson time or share videos for her to look over and give pointers for improvement. Overall we had a great experience working with her and are sure you will too! Just make sure you keeps those elbows up when you do the waltz or sheāll scold you hahaha.
My wife and I used Soni Choreography for the first dance at our wedding and we would absolutely recommend others to use her as well. We wanted to do something special for our guest...
s and Soni was timely with our early inquiries and remained easy to communicate with during the whole process. We asked for a combination of two different styles (ballroom and Bollywood) and had no formal dance experience prior. We took 5 lessons, in person, and Soni put us both at ease from our first lesson. She had patience to go over areas in the routine that were difficult for us initially. She also made it clear that if we were uncomfortable with any of the moves, that they could be changed. With Soniās help, and extra studying of the videos she took, we were able to get comfortable with both segments of the dance before our wedding. With the choreography, recommendations for timing of cold sparklers, and tips to help make the dance fun, it made one of the more nervous parts of our wedding very special. We continued to hear how it was a favorite part for many guests during the months after the wedding.
Soni is absolutely amazing! My fiancƩ and I loved working with her for our first dance. She did a phenomenal job creating a choreography routine that was not only elegant, but easy...
for beginner dancers. We loved her energy, spirit, and humor during every session we had with her! With the big day coming up soon, we can confidently say we are ready to make her proud by showcasing her beautiful routine. We would highly recommend Soni to any and all couples looking to hire a choreographer.
Soni was an absolute joy to work with for our dance choreography! My husband & I worked with Soni for our Sangeet dance(s), primarily virtually, and always looked forward to our le...
ssons with her. In the chaos of wedding planning, our practices with Soni were such a lovely & fun break. She took the time to understand our wants & needs for our dances, and curated the choreo to our level of dance knowledge & abilities. As a dancer myself, it was also extremely fun to be challenged with new styles and perform for loved ones during my wedding. If you as my hudband, his highlight of the wedding was my solo bridal performance - and thatās because of Soniās choreography, guidance, and mentorship. Weāll always remember bonding & laughing with her along the way! We highly encourage other folks to consider working with Soni. :)
She helped us with the dance for my daughter's wedding. Excellent teacher, professional, and we had a lot of fun!

edding! She was always able to give her honest opinions and suggestions when we asked. She made sure to listen to anything we needed help with and was prompt to answer any emails or adjust dance practice times as needed. The tutorials were extremely thorough and we could tell that she put a lot of effort into them to make it easier for us to learn everything virtually. We HIGHLY recommend Soni to anything getting married for a first dance or even a group dance! We love Soni and will probably try to book her again in the future for family weddings as well!
Soni did an amazing job choreographing the dances for my sangeet performance with my sisters. She made sure the steps fit our skill level and was professional and on-time with all ...
