Strictly Ballroom and Heidi Boyd, were the perfect choice for our wedding first dance lessons! We did the 6 lesson package which was the right amount, and we are amazed at how much we learned. We learned so much, and dance lessons were a fun activity to do during the busyness of wedding planning. Our first dance turned out great and better than we could have imagined. All our wedding guests loved the surprise of our choreographed first dance! Heidi is a wonderful teacher and was great at giving instruction and feedback. We hope to take more lessons just for fun!

Emily was amazing to work with! My husband and I are not dancers and have no rhythm, but we decided we wanted to surprise our wedding guests with a practiced dance. We signed up for three classes and Emily was awesome at guiding us through the steps and making it easy for us to remember the moves when it was game time. She made us feel comfortable and put up with us when we were goofy and struggling big time. We successfully made our first dance look good! Well as good we could. We highly recommend Strictly Ballroom for dance lessons!

We can’t say enough about our experience with strictly ballroom. Syreeta is amazing and felt like a real friend through the process as well as a great teacher. My husband was reluctant to take classes and was shocked when I said we should start multiple months before our wedding. Everyone should give at least three months of steady classes! Our friends and family were so impressed. My fathers toast included talking about how we “fit” together when you see us dance. It was such a special part of our day. Now Jim loves it too and it was his idea to continue lessons beyond our wedding. We’re learning the tango next!

I am so thankful for Strictly Ballroom! Syreeta was our instructor and she was absolutely incredible. She did a great job working with the song we picked and personalizing our dance. We had so much fun during each lesson. It really added to our engagement season and gave us an opportunity to just have fun together during all the planning. Go ahead a book a lesson with them! They know what they are doing and they really do customize the dances for all skill levels!

Great value for the 3 class wedding package! We ended up taking 4 and learned so much! Syreeta was a great teacher and did such an awesome job providing both of us with different corrections and tips! We had so much fun and can’t wait to go back!

Syreeta was a pleasure to learn from! We took 6 private lessons prior to our wedding and had a blast!! I highly recommend dance lessons, whole new communication piece with your to be spouse. Strictly Ballroom was extremely accommodating to our schedule and worked with us to find a time for lessons. The owners are super kind, they came into our lesson to show us a simple lift we want to incorporate into our dance. Both my husband and I had different levels of dance experience and Strictly Ballroom did an amazing job helping us! The dance was so special and one that will be remembered!

If you want to learn a special dance for your wedding, Strictly Ballroom will not disappoint! It doesn't matter if you have 0 dance experience, they will make sure you shine on your special day! They break down the dance steps so you can pick them up quickly and make it fun, not stressful. I highly recommend them!
Our guests were quite surprised and delighted with our dance and it truly was the highlight of the wedding!

The owners and staff are a bunch of extremely talented and friendly dancers that absolutely do their best to show everyone how enjoyable ballroom dance can be. We learned all the skills we needed to have a very special first dance, and wow the guests at our wedding.
Highly recommended!

Leading up to our wedding, my husband and I took six lessons at Strictly Ballroom in Fredericksburg. We had an idea of what we were looking to emulate for our first dance based on the official video of our chosen wedding song and shared this with our instructor, Syreeta, ahead of time. I can’t say enough great things about our experience. Syreeta did a fantastic job coming up with custom choreography for my husband and I who have two left feet. 🙂 She was extremely professional, thorough, and patient with us during each lesson, and if one of us didn’t quite understand a dance element, she would show us a different way that would make more sense to us.
Our wedding day was one we will always remember, and we can’t thank Syreeta and Strictly Ballroom enough!

Amazing professionalism and patience, and super accommodating. Our learning experience here has been nothing but positive - we thoroughly enjoyed learning the basics and our choreographed dance, and we gained a lot of confidence throughout the process. Our dance instructors were very patient with our bumbling, and amazing to work with.

Instructor: Syreeta
We had a great time creating our one of a kind choreographed first dance at Strictly Ballroom. We were getting married on September 19, 2018 at Walt Disney World and we wanted to combine a waltz and a salsa... Syreeta choreographed our entire dance and worked with us through timing, presentation, and dance technique. The staff at Strictly Ballroom were all very supportive and we were able to have our lessons when it was convenient for us! We are now going to take some group lessons because we enjoyed our private lessons so much.
Strictly Ballroom offers different ackages based on your wedding needs too. We have also used our dance moves at other dances since our wedding!

you learned for other occasions too! Can't to have you back in the studio, it was a blast working with you!

I absolutely love this studio! Prior to our engagement, my fiancé and I started couples classes as our “date night.” I always wished I could dance. Totally worth it. There are a lot of lessons to learn from dancing. It teaches you how you move as a couple. It brought us closer together. We worked very closely with Syreeta. She is the perfect balance of fun, instruction and movement without overbearing us with technicality. Her creativity, experience and ear for music showed as she worked with us on our first wedding dance; a Tango. We left our guests in awe. She designed the dance specifically for us; even learning a few new moves! The Tango and lessons associated were, by far, my favorite part of planning the wedding. I look forward to working with Syreeta and Strictly Ballroom in the future!

We had a blast learning and practicing our first dance! Syreeta was our instructor and she took time to make sure we knew what we were doing. I had no idea before hand, but these instructors take so much time out of their personal lives just to choreograph moves and personalize each dance with a song chosen.
My fiancé (at the time) and I had no clue what we were doing and by the end we were so confident in ourselves as dance partners to pull off a wonderful first dance at our wedding.
Strictly Ballroom Dance Studio also lets “students” come in on their free time to practice, we didn’t take advantage of this because we had a place at home we could practice in private.
Our first dance was a surprise to everyone and we blew our friends and family out of the water... mostly because it’s unlikely that my husband take a dance lesson.
Thank you Syreeta and Strickly Ballroom Dance Studio for being such a huge part of our wedding day!!! We will definitely be back!!! It definitely made me learn about a whole new side of myself and my husband as couple! We had so much fun and this brought us closer!

You two were so much fun to work with! Thank you for all of your hard work and dedication ...
