Went to Maria for a father-daughter dance routine. She was wonderful! We were able to complete a full routine after 2.5 hours. Maria’s price is extremely reasonable and she has great availability. She is not afraid to give constructive criticis...
m to ensure your routine is absolutely perfect!
Maria was phenomenal! Our song was one she hadn’t choreographed to before but she was able to come up with a routine quickly. We learned basic steps and proper form and she was able to string all of those together to make a magnificent dance. M...
y fiancé and I felt confident after our lessons and can’t wait to show our friends and family what we are able to do on the dance floor!

Thank you so much for taking the time to post this kind review. Best wishes for your upcoming wedding day and Dance!
We worked with Maria for our wedding dance and our experience with her was excellent! We had chosen a rather challenging song to try to choreograph, but she made it work. And yes, we learned it in two lessons! Our guests were all impressed with...
our dance and we felt so good performing it. Plus, it makes for a fun "date night" activity leading up to the big day!
From the moment we met her, Maria was kind, encouraging, and a joy to learn from. She choreographed my fiance and I’s first dance and it was effortless. Maria is a true master of her craft, but has a gift for breaking it down into steps that ...
anyone can understand. It’s amazing what she can do with two non-dancers in only two lessons. We looked forward to our lessons with her so much and we recommend her to everyone!
My father and I chose this dance instructor to learn a fun father-daughter dance for my wedding. I was doubtful of our ability to learn a complete dance to our song with just two one-hour lessons.
Low and behold, we did it! The instructor ma...
kes it so easy to follow and memorize the steps, while having fun. We were at hit at the wedding reception (which was September 2019) and we could still do it today! :)
Maria choreographed a perfect dance for us! My fiancé and I have four left feet between us, but she taught us a routine that made even us look skilled! We’d looked into other studios that taught fundamentals of several dances and were overwhelm...
ed. Maria’s method gave us just what we needed - a simple, beautiful dance that we can perform together for our wedding guests! The lessons were also a great de-stressor from wedding planning.

Hi Nikki,
You'll do fine on your 12/6 wedding day. Best wishes for a lifetime of waltzing together <3
I highly recommend Maria for dancing lessons. Her schedule was super flexible and she was easy to work with; plus very reasonably priced. She listened to our song and was able to come up with simple, easy to learn choreography that was exactly ...
what we were looking for. She breaks the steps down and guarantees that it only takes 2 lessons to learn, and she was right!! After our wedding day, we got a ton of compliments on our dance. Many people even asked, "how long did you take lessons for?" - which we happily responded, TWO HOURS! We are definitely happy we chose to work with Maria!

Thank you Paige for your review, and you can use the steps you learned with other songs too, for a lifetime of Happy Dancing!
Wow! We learned to dance and also had a well choreographed bride and groom along with a father of the bride and bride dance. Maria, made it very easy to do the basic dance moves and to remember the dance steps. It was so much better than stan...
ding on the dance door aimlessly rocking back and forth to a song for 3 minutes. We also got the benefit of learning several dance styles including foxtrot and waltz. We can build upon all of this.
Highly recommend dads and grooms who may be nervous about dancing in public to visit Valley Forge Dance Academy.

Steven - your testimonial is most appreciated. Glad you enjoyed your First Dance ;~)
I reached out to Maria to schedule "Father/Daughter" dance lessons for my dad and I before my big day in September. What made my situation difficult was that I live in Orlando, FL, and I was only home (in the Philadelphia area) for the weekend ...
- we needed to learn something QUICK! Maria assured me that she could teach us a routine in just 2 hours, so we decided to book. She was incredible. In just 2 hours, we learned new steps, a dance routine to the song "I Loved Her First" and had a lot of laughs. For my dad never having taken a dance class in his life, he did phenomenal, and we owe it all to Maria's method of teaching. I would highly recommend her to any couples, or daddy-daughter duos looking for some new moves!

Glad we were able to help you and your dad in your dance!
Maria, our instructor was amazing! We had a bit of a challenging song (Dancing with our hands tied by Taylor Swift), but she listened to it once and did an exceptional job coming up with a choreographed dance for us. Not to mention how affordab...
le the lessons are, esp for Philly and KOP area. We are very pleased with our experience.

We were happy to hear about your great experience in choosing us, Leah.
Maria’s method works! My husband and I have absolutely no dance experience. Maria listened to our song and provided steps that were simple enough to remember but looked good and worked with the music. By the second lesson we were comfortable en...
ough with our feet that she showed us how to move to give the dance that extra something. For those of you that are unsure about dancing in front of people or lack experience, definitely take lessons from Maria! After two lessons with her, you’ll feel like a pro!

Thank you so much for your feedback, Alyssa, and best wishes for your lifetime together.
Maria is friendly and knows what she's doing. This place is home to many classes so you can expect to see children's costumes and maybe the tail end of a workout class, but don't let that deter you. This is a great small business to support. ...
It is easy to book online and you won't find a better price. She will build a dance for your song and give feedback as you go. I already recommended her to a friend.
Maria was wonderful! We just finished our second lesson and my fiance and I are feeling confident about the first dance! She kept my fiance's part relatively simple, added some spins for myself, and we ended up with a beautiful first dance. I a...
m so glad we won't be boring our guests with the simple rocking back and forth!

Thank you for your review, Hayley, and best wishes for a "Perfect" first dance next weekend <3
Maria was a great teacher! My fiance and I had no prior dancing experience and were very nervous about doing our first dance. We are very happy with the dance she taught us and are feeling confident about our big day.
My fiance and I live in different countries and were visiting my parents for a weekend, 1 month before our wedding. Maria responded quickly and confirmed 2 lessons, Saturday and Sunday and assured us we would be in good shape. Since we do not h...
ave a lot of time in the same place, Maria's 2 lesson system was perfect. She was easy to work with and provided us a routine that we know will wow our guests for our First Dance!
Maria is a great teacher. My fiancé and I decided to visit the valley Forge Dance School for standard Friday evening dance lesson to decide if Maria could teach us our first dance for our wedding.
We found that Maria has a great method that w...
orks for our learning style. Maria simplified and slowed the steps. Maria called out the steps while we were dancing. She's also encouraging. After visiting her studio twice we decided to commit to her choreographing and teaching us our first dance!
Maria, the owner of the school, is so great to work with!! It took no time at all for her to listen to our song (Baby I'm yours by the Arctic Monkeys) and come up with an amazing dance to go with it. We are definitely beginners, but she kept th...
ings simple enough to remember, yet fancy enough to seriously WOW our guests. We only needed 2 one hour sessions to learn our whole dance - which helped coax my husband in to coming, and we're both so happy that we did. It was so fun spinning around on the dance floor with my husband rather than doing the old step together step together routine. Thank you so much Maria!
Great idea!! Everyone was impressed with our dance moves. They thought we spent a long time working on it, when really we only had two classes. She also makes a cassette and records your dance moves over the song so you can practice at home if ...
you want. You don't really need to.
Our first dance was perfect! Maria has a great system that's easy to remember and looks like you've been practicing for months. Everyone came up to us at the wedding asking where we took our lessons and how great the dance looked.

Thank you so much for your feedback, as it confirms what other couples have told me: "they got a standing ovation!"
We called a couple dance lesson places, and this seemed like the best. We met with Maria, who listened to our song a couple times and instantly had a dance for us. She gave us a free 20-minute trial where she showed up all the steps and expla...
ined how the dance would go. It was our choice to then stay for another hour (or come back she said) and start learning the dance. We practiced with her and then came back the next week for another hour lesson, to be our last lesson. Maria swore we would know our dance in 2 hours. She didn't turn us into great dancers, but we could complete the dance independently by the end of the second lesson, at which time we payed her $100 for the whole shebang. It was great. So glad we did it rather than just sway on the dance floor like middle schoolers. We did practice a lot. Maria gave us a cassette tape with her voice over the music telling us the steps. We didn't use it because, well, it's a cassette tape. But it was nice to know if we really needed it, we could probably find a way to play it if we were confused.
Maria Jacobs did a great job in teaching us our First Dance. We went to her for the "wedding couple package" and were skeptical that we would learn the dance in 2 lessons. However, she delivers what she promises!
