About This Vendor

Dance with your heart and your feet will follow

We offer a fully personalized wedding dance experience and we are excited to introduce you and your future spouse/partner to the world of dance. We will be your guides from your first dance steps together to the "Big Show" on your Wedding Day. We teach out of several locations in midtown Manhattan and Williamsburg Brooklyn. We are also available for at-home lessons or by Zoom (different rates apply). Hi there! We are Nina and Robert, The Wedding Dance Experts. We are new to The Knot but (k)not to teaching wedding dances so don’t shy away from us not having so many reviews here yet. ;-) Please also visit our website for more testimonials. www.theweddingdanceexperts.nyc In our career as teachers which spans over 25 years we have taught people from all ages and all walks of life. Since relocating to NYC we both worked at the largest Ballroom Dance studio in Manhattan and quickly became top teachers and head of wedding dance department. Together we have taught over 1,500 wedding couples alongside our regular group classes and private lessons. We are as passionate about teaching as we are about dancing. We love sharing our passion and knowledge for dancing to top level dancers as well as to people who think they have two left feet ;-) We have lived in NYC for over 12 years and devoted our lives to our passion; dancing, teaching and performing. Originally from Scandinavia, we both dedicated our lives to dancing from an early age, competing both nationally and Internationally and representing the National Team and winning numerous titles in Ballroom and Latin dancing. As we know planning a wedding can get stressful at times, but the common feedback from our couples have been that learning to dance was the most fun part of the wedding planning. We want you to feel comfortable with the dance we design for you. Your dance will be customized by taking into consideration your song choice, your own vision and your personalities to give you the best wedding dance experience, whether you desire a more low key dance or a fully choreographed showstopper. Our additional experience; - Parent/family member dances - Groomsmen/Bridesmaids dances - Wheelchair dancing - Teaching dance to and caregiving for people on the spectrum - Physical Therapy/Personal Trainer We are looking forward to connecting with you and being YOUR WEDDING DANCE EXPERTS!

Working with Nina was the most fun part of wedding preparation. It was a great opportunity to learn something new and laugh a bit in the middle of all the other steps that go into a wedding. Nina took our song and built up a choreography that w...
e could handle as inexperienced dancers. After a few lessons we were comfortable enough to try a lift, and it worked! The dance surprised everyone, including ourselves!

Nina has been my principal dance instructor for nearly a decade. I have probably had 50 dance instructors over the past 25 years (often stopping in for a lesson when I travel). But I have stayed with Nina, instructor extraordinaire, because s...
he’s simply the best, in virtue of her patience, precision, understanding of what the student can do, and gauge of just how far to extend the student to “the next step” to keep the experience fun. I have recommended Nina to friends at different levels and all have regarded her as expert a teacher as I do. Although I started ballroom dance from square one with Nina, I am now very confident dancing with anyone on a few of them, and am always working on something new.

Our dance at the wedding was a series, a typical first dance, a group dance with friends, and another couple dance with another song. Nina helped us with the first dance and third dance, and also helped us design the transition between each of ...
the songs. I have so much good things to say about Nina. She is patient, detail-oriented, and knows exactly how to teach. The choreography was also the exact right level of difficulty that we can handle (we both had zero experience dancing…) while looking so elegant and beautiful. Plus, we chose songs that were in a foreign language that Nina did not speak. She would ask us the meaning of the lyrics so she can design the movements accordingly. She also helped us edit the music so smoothly! Nina brings so much fun to us, and we enjoyed every class we had with her, making dancing classes definitely the top two fun things in our wedding prep (the other being cake tasting). It was so nice to have Nina be our instructor!

Our wedding was unconventional is many ways and in the best ways to us. Robert is one of my long time friends and my husband Michael and I wanted him to be a part of our wedding. Unconventional maybe but not only did he walk me down the aisle ...
but he was also part of our wedding dance as he danced part of the song with me. Our wedding dance song was “Nothing else matters” by Metallica, I wanted it to be simple yet elegant and Robert put together a perfect choreography and I had so much fun learning it and I felt comfortable and beautiful dancing it.

Owner
We are professional ballroom/latin dancers, originally from Scandinavia. We both started dancing and competing at an early age and have been fortunate to have a successful competetive career. A common thread in our lives has been to help people improve in many aspects of life, working as a caregiver, physical therapist, personal trainer. This combined with our passion for dancing naturally led us on the path of teaching people of all ages and abilities to dance. So now with over 25 years of teaching and guiding over 1,500 wedding couples we are looking forward to dancing with you aswell.
