Thanks to recommendations from couples on The Knot
The Dance Floor is a private studio that caters only to brides, grooms, their families, and their bridal parties. I ensure you have the space to grow in your confidence and your ability as you learn ultra-specific choreography that has been curated for only you. Your vision becomes a reality with me. We start with your song selection, your experience and comfort level, and personality. Because I never pre-package choreography, the sky is the limit! If you enjoy elegant tradition, I'll design and lead you through a beautiful expression of your love for one another. Is something unexpected more your vibe? Done! Up tempo, trends, sexy, sassy, or just all out fun on the dance floor? Got it covered. I love being creative and dancing outside the box! (No pun intended).
One of my most important attributes as an instructor is my ability to create a light and fun atmosphere and adjust quickly to your needs. My couples often thank me for my encouraging demeanor and fun approach to teaching. My ultimate goal is to have you both loving your dance and looking amazing doing it.
Let's talk about a few things you may not have considered. Parent Dances are such a timeless and beautiful way to honor those who have supported you the most. Give Mom or Dad one more special memory they will cherish, learn a dance together for your big day.
Don't forget about your bridal party! Group dances are so on trend and could not be more fun!
I am the proud founder of The Dance Floor, My mission is to support loving couples, encourage continued romance and fun, and provide experience you will treasure.

Jessica is an amazing dance instructor. In just 5 lessons, she taught us an entire choreographed wedding dance that blew our guests away, and surpassed all of our hopes and expecta...
tions. Neither of us had formally danced before, but Jessica was extremely patient, clear and thorough in her instruction. Her communication skills were outstanding, and she helped build our confidence every week. She sent us personalized guided notes to help us in our at-home practice. She even worked with her husband to provide a fully custom version of the song that we wanted to use, and designed our dance around it. She made our lessons fun, and we looked forward to going every week. If you want to make your wedding even more memorable, I recommend you give her a call!

From our first call, Jessica completely understood our song and our vis...
ion for our dance. In our first lesson, she got us completely comfortable (even though the most dancing we'd done together was in our kitchen). By lesson 2, we already had flown through most of our choreography - it was truly like night and day from where we started!
All along the way, Jessica was kind, patient, and FUN. We had the best time during our lessons, and each time we left we were completely floored with how much we were able to learn. It was such a joy to get to work with Jessica at The Dance Floor. We may have to sneak in a lesson for date nights to come!

kily we found The Dance Floor and we had the best time working on a choreographed dance with Jessica. She quickly got to know us, understand our vibe, how we wanted the dance to feel, and designed the perfect dance for us. The lessons were a great break from the insanity of wedding planning and a way for my fiance and I to connect and be even more excited for the wedding day. Jessica is so talented and attentive, making sure we were comfortable with all the moves and helped us edit the routine to be in our comfort level while still stunning our guests. If you’re debating lessons, just book it! You will not regret it.

I was not expecting the lessons to be worthwhile given the time crunch, but I was totally blown away with Jessica and her ability to teach my fiancee and I (we are both clumsy) real steps beyond a simple side step, but we managed to get a cool routine down well enough to impress our guests -- all thanks to her! Also, the lessons were super fun! We want to sign up for more classes just for fun!

h that was easy enough for us to learn, yet still entertaining, a little challenging, and so much fun to perform.
The most amazing part was that she pulled it all together in just three days! Her creativity, patience, and ability to make us feel comfortable and confident were incredible. On the big day, our dance was a huge hit—guests couldn’t stop talking about it, and my daughter and I will treasure that memory forever.
Her dance space is also beautiful and versatile—it can even be used for private events.
If you need a beautiful, personalized dance experience, even on a tight timeline, this is the place to go!

h her to prepare for our wedding dance, and we couldn’t be happier with how everything turned out.
From the start, Jessica made us feel comfortable and supported. She took the time to understand our vision and worked with us at a pace that suited our skill level. Each session was thoughtfully planned, breaking down steps in a way that was easy to follow while keeping the process fun and exciting.
What truly stood out was how Jessica gave us the confidence we lacked. As two people with little to no dance experience, we were nervous at first, but Jessica made us feel incredibly confident together. Her guidance and encouragement transformed us from non-dancers into a couple ready to perform a beautiful, choreographed dance on our big day.
Her attention to detail was remarkable, and her creative approach to teaching ensured we felt prepared and excited. We’re so grateful for Jessica’s professionalism, encouragement, and care. If you’re considering dance lessons for any occasion, we highly recommend Jessica at The Dance Floor—you’ll be in great hands! Thank you for making this part of our wedding preparation so special!

If you are even remotely thinking of including a choreographer on your list of vendors... you NEED to come here! I have been working with Jessica (owner) for 2-3 months now for our...
first dance as well as with my father for our parent dance. Her experience shines in her ability to adapt her teaching style to the individual. Her choreography is very easy to execute (for all skill levels!) and she has always been more than willing to go above and beyond to ensure it is exactly the dance we are envisioning. After our first lesson, she sent instructional videos from each partner perspective so that we could practice on our own. She even offers a venue rehearsal and we will definitely be doing that as well! I can confidently say that because of Jessica, I am way less stressed about my wedding in 3 weeks. Our first dance will be beautiful and memorable for our guests (and us!) & coming to The Dance Floor is one of the highlights of our busy schedule!

We learned so much as we approached her to help us with such a special day of our lives. She is teaching us a beautiful slow dance that tells a story and once that’s over we jump into the most fun we have ever had dance song that her husband Jeremy put together for us. He is also a DJ that collaborates with Jessica, in bringing it all together.
