Brian is awesome! Works with you at your skill level and is super adaptable. We had an idea of the type of dance we wanted for our wedding, but we also knew that we needed a professional help us get it to look great. His tips and direction were exactly what we needed, and it was a lot of fun too, so we're going to keep dancing! Highly recommend:)

We had such an amazing experience learning our wedding dance with Brian! He created a routine that was perfectly suited to our skill level, and somehow made the whole process feel fun and stress-free. He was incredibly patient, encouraging, and an excellent teacher. Since our wedding was coming up so quickly, he went above and beyond by teaching us our entire routine in just two weeks, even though he typically doesn’t work with such a short timeline. We really appreciated how flexible and dedicated he was to helping us feel confident for our big day. We’re so happy with how our dance turned out and would highly recommend him to anyone looking for a talented, patient, and genuinely wonderful dance teacher!

Hi! Oh my gosh! Where to start...I love dancing! More than that I love teaching couples for their first dance. It brings me such great joy to see things click when a couple learns a new move for the first time. I've often taught couples to dance for their wedding and they want to learn more after. I've got a well rounded background in many dance styles, I even learned a little burlesque at one point! I'm looking forward to enriching lives with a love for dance and catering to each couple's individual needs.

I can't share enough good things about Brian's ability and skill in teaching clients to showcase a first dance at their wedding! We're so thrilled to have worked with him, particu...

larly because we had only 6 weeks to prepare! Brian made the process inviting, comfortable and fun, even for the groom to be who had never danced before! We selected 2 songs and Brian challenged us to be open to learning 2 types of dance styles (swing and tango) to switch gears mid-dance throwing in some unexpected pizzazz for the crowd. We met twice a week, and practiced most days in between as we didn't have much time before the wedding. And when schedules didn't align, Brian worked with us remotely to clarify steps and timing with us. We went from nervous anticipation to developing a sense of confidence that "we've got this!" Brian is patient, detailed, and focused, and his dance talent makes you want to learn more! We never expected that our dance would be a show stopper, but we could hear our friends and family cheer and ooh & ahh with some of our moves. Everyone had so much fun! We were thrilled and couldn't stop smiling the entire dance. I should also mention that Brian is a skilled DJ and was able to splice our 2 songs to transition with the dance styles. It made our wedding planning so much easier! We look forward to returning to dance with Brian in the future. I highly recommend that you work with him too!

ally were able to connect on a deeper level and really enjoyed our first dance instead of feeling awkward! Brian is personable and open to any feedback - he wants it to be your dance. He is also a great cheerleader! Cannot recommend him enough!

Our first dance was one of the best moments of our reception! I think some jaws actually dropped, lol, and my husband and I had so much fun with it… all thanks to Brian! He is in...

credibly professional, skilled, and fun to be around (which is super helpful when you’ve never danced in your life and are trying not to trip over your fiancé’s feet repeatedly). I got the sense that Brian truly meets couples where they’re at — from your time to your budget to your athleticism. Everything he said we’d be able to learn, we did, and had fun doing it. And now we have a new skill for all the weddings we attend as guests in the future :) Don’t hesitate, hire him!

Do not hesitate to start working with Brian. Where do I start? Brian is patient, cheerful, and creative. We started working with him in late January in preparation for our wedding ...

in May, giving us about 4 months. My partner and I are not dancers and have never taken lessons. I challenged my partner and Brian to do custom and challenging choreography, and Brian gladly accepted. Brian was able to take us two, non-dancers, into a literal Dancing With The Stars pair. Our family and friends jaws were to the floor the entirety of our routine and it really set the evening for an amazing night. Everyone was so impressed with our dance and said it set the bar high for every wedding out there. The banquet captain of the Four Seasons Beverly Hills who had been working there for decades said this was the best first dance he’d ever witnessed. If an amazing first dance is a priority for your wedding look no further with Brian!!

Brian was very attentive to our dance choreo wishes and really tailored the choreo to suit our needs. He not only taught us the dance for our wedding, but gave us confidence to be ...

much better dancers. We began as complete novices but our family and friends thought we were pros after our performance. Jaws were on the floor with our dance routine that Brian developed the choreo for from scratch and taught us. He even edited our first dance song to fit within our specified time frame. Definitely a full service experience and could not rave more about Brian and his work.

elped us form our vision for the day and also helped us get excited about it. Dancing lessons are great to make the process feel more fun throughout the months before! Brian was flexible and open to scheduling whenever it could fit into our schedules. Despite our lack of experience partner dancing, we looked like we knew what we were doing on our wedding night! Everyone was so impressed with our dance and we owe that to Brian!

ata all within 6 weeks. It was rigorous and tough but he gave me the confidence and guidance to pull it off. He's very flexible on time frame, willing to meet with you and help out in anyway so that he can get you ready for that 1st dance. Ladies if your man doesn't know how to dance, Brian will make a dancer out of him. My now wife tried to get me dancing for 10 years. Brian helped me make that come true.

Brian is an incredible choreographer, DJ, and overall teacher. Our first wedding dance choreography exceeded our highest expectations. First, he gauges our dance skill level (My wi...

fe dances swing and I dance salsa). He then, very patiently, put together an amazing mashup of our favorite songs using his astounding DJ skills. He created a perfectly appropriate and fun dance routine. We had some high level dancing friends in the audience that were blown away by Brian's creation and musicality. I can't wait till I can do another event with Brian and create some new fun routines.

you both!

Dancing isn't in my blood. Well... at least, I thought so ahead of this session with Brian. Sure, I had tried the periodic lesson here and there over and the years (mostly groups),...

but they had always left me feeling incapable and unsteady. Enter Brian and I can honestly say he made me more confident than I ever felt dancing before, teaching and encouraging me with every step. I didn't feel pressured, rushed, or as if he as the instructor was expecting too much. He was always supportive and celebratory with every improvement and I walked away (danced away, perhaps) feeling like I could maybe take on this thing called "dancing" moving forward. I can't recommend him enough to anyone who wants to learn a dance or two or three.

Learning dance from Brian was filled with so many positives, but I'll just name a few. 1. My husband did NOT come from a family of dancers or movers in general, which made him ver...

y uncomfortable any time someone suggested he dance. Brian was the first person (other than me *wink*) to ever create a space that my husband felt comfortable and confident learning dance in. It was wonderful seeing my husband come into his own on the dance floor with Brian's guidance. 2. Brian is kind and not pretentious or stuck up. Nor does he make it feel like he's all business, if that makes sense. When you learn from Brian, you feel like you're learning from a knowledgable, easy going and very talented friend. 3. Brian knows a lot about a lot of dances, so even if you take lessons from him to prepare FOR your wedding, know that you can always continue taking lessons from him after your wedding giving you and you significant other a lifetime of beautiful dance together.
