We had the pleasure of taking dance lessons for our wedding at the Wedding Dance Boutique, and it was an incredible experience! From the moment we walked in, we felt welcomed and at ease. The atmosphere is warm and inviting, making us feel like we were more than just clients.
Connie, our instructor, is truly inspiring. She is not only an expert in her craft but also an exceptional teacher who genuinely cares about her students. Her enthusiasm is infectious, and she has a remarkable ability to make even the most nervous beginners feel confident and comfortable.
Each lesson was tailored to our needs and skill level, ensuring that we progressed at a pace that was perfect for us. Connie took the time to understand our vision for our first dance and worked tirelessly to help us achieve it. Her patience and encouragement made all the difference, turning what could have been a stressful experience into one of the highlights of our wedding preparations.
We cannot thank Connie enough for helping us create such a beautiful and memorable first dance. If youβre looking for a dedicated, passionate, and incredibly talented dance instructor, we highly recommend the Wedding Dance Boutique.
Thank you, Connie, for making our special day even more magical!

From the moment we stepped into her studio, she made me feel completely at ease. She is professional and creative.
She carefully listened to our vision for the dance and tailored the choreography perfectly to suit our skill level and personalities. Her teaching style is clear, encouraging, and so much fun we found ourselves looking forward to each lesson!
our first dance was everything we hoped it would be and more. We felt confident and in the moment, and our guests were amazed by the elegant performance.
If youβre looking for someone who will not only teach you to dance but also make it a truly memorable and enjoyable experience.

Connie is an amazing instructor. We came in without any dancing experience to learn our first dance for our wedding. Her patience and support did not go unnoticed. She broke down each movement with precision and tailored the dance to our specific needs. She made the dance lessons fun instead of another chore we have to do for our wedding. I highly recommend Connie. The routine she created for us was definitely one of the highlights of our wedding, our guests loved it.

Connie was recommended to us by our friends & after seeing their dance routine at their wedding, my wife & I knew we had to work with Connie. We both had no prior experience of dancing so we knew it was going to be hard. Connie displayed a lot of compassion, patience, & kindness throughout the time we spent with her. If anyone is looking for a dance instructor - look no further because you wonβt regret working with Connie. Connie - Thank you again for everything. We couldn't have asked for anyone better. Keep doing what you do because you're wonderful at it.

If you are in the area and looking for dance lessons, look no further & book a session with Connie from The Wedding Dance Boutique! Not only is her studio breathtaking, she is an amazingly passionate dance teacher with so much love for her students and dance. I went to Connie for first dance lessons with both my husband and father looking to "learn a few steps" and we left after a few lessons with 2 choreographed dances that made us feel confident and so excited to dance at our wedding. My father never danced a day in his life, Connie made him so comfortable that we crushed our dance and he even spent the whole night on the dance floor. Connie helped me and my husband push ourselves to try new steps and connect on a whole different level. I will cherish these memories forever... BOOK CONNIE!

My husband and I had 4 lessons with Connie and weβd do it all over again. She choreographed a dance for us that made our night so special and fun. She was wonderful to work with, welcoming, and made us comfortable dancing to a routine when we typically βtwo stepβ the night away. Her passion for the art is evident from the second you walk into her studio. I will be recommending her to everyone I know!

My husband and I absolutely LOVE Connie!!! We reached out to her a month before our wedding and she was able to teach us our wedding dance in 6 lessons! Connie is such a dedicated instructor and you can tell she really enjoys watching her students learn and grow. My husband and I have never taken a dance lesson before (and consider ourselves βnot so greatβ dancers lol), but we felt super confident performing our wedding dance in front of all our friends and family. If you are on the fence about learning a choreographed dance, I know first hand, DO IT! It was absolutely magical and the experience learning it was wonderful, all thanks to Connie!

Connie is an extraordinary dancer as well as an amazing individual! Her passion for teaching her students with such intricate technique while making it easy to follow along with the choreography is unmatched. She teaches all styles of dancing, whether it be for weddings, or what her clients specify. Having a session with Connie sparked my love for dancing after many years of not practicing. She is not only a wonderful person, she is a GREAT teacher who wants you to feel confident when dancing! I highly recommend her and you will most definitely be pleased! Whether it be for your wedding, practice, or simply wanting to get back into the art of dance, Connie is the person to go to.

Connie is absolutely amazing!! I have never met someone so passionate and patient! My fiancΓ© and I booked lessons (just finished for our wedding in 3 days) to do a surprise performance of (Iβve Had) The Time of My Life from Dirty Dancing.
I never thought I could do it, but Connie made sure we did. I cannot recommend her enough. We will definitely miss going for our weekly lessons, but surely will have to find another song to do just for fun so we can go back!

Connie was absolutely wonderful to work with! Before our first class she asked us to select the song for our first dance (we picked Amazed by Lonestar), so that she could design the choreography. The dance moves she recommended were spot on. Like for the lyrics "baby when you touch me" I touched the groom and for "you blow me away" there was a blow away like movement. So everything matched very well. We didn't know what the dance would look like until a couple of classes until the end, and learned bit by bit each class. Along the way Connie taught styling techniques for arm movements so that we looked like professionals. We had never done choreographed dancing before soΒ the steps seemed scary at first; however, after 20 minutes of practice we were able to master them. It felt amazing to perform the first dance at our wedding! We got so many oohsΒ and ahhs as we danced. It was such a beautiful dance and our guests were so impressed by how professional it was and how we made such a complicated dance look so effortless. Credit goes to Connie for that! We also took a class with her where we just ran through some basic dance moves that we could incorporate throughout that night. Those moves came in very handy. Overall we highly recommend Connie. She was such a sweetheart to work with and made our first dance fantastic!
