Nichole was absolutely amazing! She choreographed our first dance for our wedding, and we couldn’t have asked for a better experience. From the very beginning, she was in...
credibly kind, patient, caring, and so much fun to work with. She made every lesson enjoyable and helped us feel comfortable and confident with our dance.
She was also extremely flexible with our schedules, which we really appreciated during the craziness of wedding planning. You can tell she genuinely cares about her students and wants their special moment to be perfect.
Nichole was truly the best, and we’re so grateful she was part of such a memorable moment for us. We highly recommend her to anyone looking for dance lessons or help creating the perfect first dance!
Nichole was a very flexible and great dance teacher! She was amazing with helping us to be prepared for our wedding and we definitely highly recommend her!
Nichole did an amazing job! My husband had never danced before, and she was able to teach him some sweet moves. She made us feel comfortable and confident, and our first dance turn...

Nichole was absolutely amazing!! The choreography she put together was phenomenal!
Nichole was amazing and choreographed an awesome (simple!) first dance for our wedding! We contacted Nichole only a few weeks out of our wedding and she went out of her way to acco...
mmodate us so that we could get enough dance lessons in to feel confident. Nichole was very patient with us and went at a pace that suited us. We even had to make a change to the choreography after my final dress fitting (my dress was too tight to do one of the lifts!), and she responded right away with another option for us.
My husband and I had a great time with Nichole - she made the lessons fun with her upbeat and happy personality, and our first dance came out perfect!
Nichole was absolutely AMAZEBALLS and FANTASTIC!!!!! She has a great personality and very easy to get along with! She figured out how to teach my now husband with his learning sty...
le (he took longer) and how I learn; which were completely different styles. She worked with us on our availability for the lessons as well. Nichole even came up with backup alternative moves incase my dress didn't allow for some of the lifts! She really took her time and got to know us to choreograph our first wedding dance.
We had the absolute best experience working with Nichole for our first dance! My husband and I have zero dance experience, but from the very first lesson, she made us feel complete...
ly comfortable and confident. Her teaching style is warm, patient, and encouraging, and she broke everything down into simple steps that were easy to follow. She really listened to what we wanted—our song, our vibe, and our skill level—and choreographed something that felt uniquely “us.” Our first dance turned out beautifully, and so many guests told us how much they loved it. We’re so grateful for her guidance and would highly recommend Nichole to anyone looking to feel confident and enjoy their first dance.
Nichole was absolutely amazing! We originally didn’t plan to do a full choreographed first dance, but after our first lesson with her, we were completely hooked. She made the entir...
e experience so fun, intimate, and confidence-boosting. Nichole was incredibly helpful, responsive, and supportive every step of the way, and she truly exceeded our expectations. Thanks to her, our first dance ended up being one of our favorite memories of the wedding planning process and the wedding itself!
Nichole was amazing! My husband and I doesn’t have a lot of background with dancing but Nichole made us comfortable and taught us easy - medium steps. The ones that fit our level o...
f dancing and the dress I’m wearing . She’s so detailed! From the music , to the dance routine - making sure my partner doesn’t step on my dress. I highly recommend Nichole! And don’t be scared/shy if you don’t have dance experience , Nichole will help you along the way :)
BOOK THIS COMPANY NOW!!! We cannot recommend this company enough! Nichole is one of the sweetest people ever and she continued to help us even after our lesson. I called her two we...
eks before we left for our destination wedding because we realized winging our dance wouldn’t look very cute. She got us in that same weekend and taught us an easy to learn, but stunning dance. She recorded us to watch back and also recorded her and her husband doing it to help us practice and dial it in. We were able to practice it and by the time our wedding came our guests were absolutely WOWED. Now we have this special core memory of our first dance for the rest of our lives. THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU!!!
Nichole was simply amazing to work with! My husband and I were beginners at any type of dancing and she made it so easy to learn! We got so many praises on our first dance and we o...
we it all to Nichole! She is the most fun, kindest and professional dance teacher you could ask for! Highly recommend!
Nichole took two people with very little dance experience and turned our first dance into something truly magical. Her patience, creativity and encouraging teaching style made the ...
entire process so enjoyable.
Nichole is amazing!! This was absolutely the best and most fun part of wedding planning. We gave her a song and an idea of what we'd like and she nailed it! She was such a great in...
structor. Neither of us have dance experience. She was patient and broke everything down step by step. She even sent us home with video recordings of our dance progress after each lesson. Everyone was so impressed by our dance. Highlight of our wedding :)
NICHOLE IS THE BEST!!!! She gave us exactly what we wanted and then some. Not only is she incredibly talented and a great teacher, she is so kind, and we felt 100% comfortable with...
her from the first meeting. She went above and beyond to make sure we got exactly what we wanted for our first dance. Truly could not have had a better experience and would recommend Nichole to everyone. Prices are affordable and well worth it. Planning a wedding is stressful and I can honestly say this is the one vendor that came with ZERO STRESS and only made our day better.
Where to begin sharing about Vegas Dance Stars? We had an incredible experience. Both my husband and I like to dance but neither of us is very good at it and before hiring Nichole ...
at Vegas Dance Stars we didn’t have any training.
She listened to our needs over and over (throughout the entire process) and tailored our choreography to us exactly. She had deep understanding of working around joint injuries. It was impossible for either of us to hold any anxiety about the outcome when she was around. She lends you her confidence.
I attribute this raving review to her love for doing this with couples and would recommend her services for any couple willing and gutsy enough to make their first dance as a married couple one that you & your family & friends will never forget.
Our dance instructor displayed excellent skills and professionalism during our session. Even in a short amount of practice her individualized approach dance moves was made easy to ...
follow. We definitely enjoyed and will recommend her service to our friends and family.
One of my favorite experiences during the wedding planning process. Nichole accepted us as clients despite a tight 2 week window. We did her 6 lesson package which was very managea...
ble. She was an excellent instructor - patient, thoughtful, encouraging, and personable. she has a knack for bringing out the best in her students and it is evident how much time she spends in tailoring choreography to each couple. We loved her family and we wish we had more reasons to see them! I’m actively looking for any excuse to work with them again!
Nichole choreographed such beautiful moves for our first dance . The steps were not difficult but the end result was simply amazing!!! She is very professional , kind sweet and pa...

will definitely call them again for my next lesson.
We got married last year in September and our first dance is still one of our favorite parts of the night. Nichole was extremely kind and accommodating, my husband is a disabled ve...
t and she helped us modify our dance with that in mind. She had a great contact that did a custom mix of our first dance song to shorten it which was amazing. Her family was always so sweet and the dance lessons were very helpful and informative. We did the 6 dance lessons, but I think with how busy my schedule was at the time I should have gone with 10 just because we really wanted to make it extra special! Our guests LOVED our first dance, it was definitely a hit! I think this experience brought my husband and I closer and we always looked forward to our dance lessons. I highly recommend booking Nichole!
Nichole and her husband, Johnny, immediately caught our attention when they did a demonstration of their dancing choreography services at our food tasting 6 months prior to our wed...
ding. Even though me and my husband both have backgrounds in dance (ballet/contemporary for me, and hip hop for him), we've never done ballroom dancing before and we admired how elegant Nichole and Johnny looked during their demonstration. We decided that we wanted to look just like them during our first dance, so we signed up for 6 weeks of lessons and we absolutely did not regret it!!!
After getting to know us both and our backgrounds in dance during our introductory lesson, Nichole went above and beyond creating choreography with lifts that was fun yet challenging while being conceptual so that we can tell OUR story through the choreography. She is an incredible teacher and we were able to learn the entire choreography and clean up our technique within the 6 practices we paid for! Despite there being a few trips we had to take throughout the course of our lessons, Nichole was very understanding and flexible which meant a lot to us. We loved how the entire choreography turned out and received plenty of positive reactions and feedback from our family and friends at the wedding after they witnessed us performing Nichole's choreography for our first dance as husband and wife.
For all those who are getting married in Las Vegas and want to look amazing and elegant during your first dance, I highly recommend hiring Nichole from Vegas Dance Stars. It was an absolute pleasure working with her!
My husband did not just want to sway for our first dance so we decided to do lessons. We enjoyed every bit of the lessons every week and were very prepared/ excited to perform on o...
ur wedding night! Thank you to Nichole (and her husband for being our stand in example)!! The routine was so loved by everyone!!

chole's number, and we start our dance lessons this weekend. We are so excited to learn the choreography that she has in store for us.
Having our dance lessons with Nichole was one of the most fun and memorable things about our whole time leading up to our wedding! The wedding planning process was so busy and stre...
ssful, and carving out the time for us to connect as a couple and take our minds off of the more stressful things while at the same time having fun and working toward something that was going to be a highlight of our event was invaluable. Nichole was creative, patient, fun, and really listened to our needs and worked with us to create a first dance that was perfect for us. Everyone loved it and we couldn’t be more happy with the result. It was so much fun that months later we still do the dance every now and then to revisit that amazing memory. We also loved going to her fabulous home studio and meeting her sweet family!
Nichole was a pleasure to work with! My husband and I loved our choreography for our wedding and she met us at our skill level. We hope to go take dance classes with her again soon...

these dance lessons turned out to be the only time my husband and I had to ourselves. Definitely my absolute favorite part of wedding planning. Nichole keeps it light, happy and fun. She works so hard to make it no stress and helps you have confidence on your big day. Highly highly recommend!!
If you're looking for an exceptional wedding dance choreographer, I highly recommend Vegas Dance Stars! My husband and I had the pleasure of working with Nichole, and she was absol...
utely amazing. From start to finish, she was patient, creative, and incredibly skilled in helping us create a beautiful first dance as a married couple.
Nichole was able to take a song that was a bit too long and suggest a friend who is a music engineer to cut and edit the track specifically for our dance. As a singer myself, she was able to incorporate my singing into the dance while my husband, a professional dancer, performed during the first verse. Additionally, she even brought in a ballet dancer friend to add some extra technique to our routine.
As a gay couple, we were a bit worried about how our dance would look since most wedding dance choreographers feature only heterosexual couples. However, Nichole made us feel completely comfortable and welcomed, and our dance turned out to be effortless and graceful.
Overall, we were blown away by Nichole's professionalism, creativity, and talent. If you want to make your first dance as a married couple truly special, then don't hesitate to hire Vegas Dance Stars and work with Nichole. We couldn't be happier with our experience and highly recommend them to anyone!
We are so glad we worked with Vegas Dance Stars for our wedding! Nichole was able to help us have a fantastic and memorable first dance. Neither one of us had much dance experience...
, but she created a routine that was magical, clean, and so fun to do! Nichole is a great communicator and a great dance instructor. Highly recommend!
We absolutely loved Nichole as our Dance Instructor! She was an absolutely amazing teacher! Everyone session we went to was always full of laughter and fun. Before we met her, we ...
never had any formal dance training. So of course we were nervous before our first lesson. But, the moment we met Nichole, we knew that was she was gonna be a great instructor. She greeted us with such open arms and always made sure we were comfortable with the moves she wanted us to practice. Our families absolutely loved our dance. We will always cherish the time we spent with her and will always recommend her to any of our families and friends.
I can sincerely say that Nichole is an incredible dance instructor and that she can make ANYONE dance, but most importantly she can make you have fun while learning. She is very de...
dicated to her work, patient, takes into consideration your opinion, and always make sure you feel confident with the choreography. She went above and beyond to help us with our music choice. We wanted a slow song at the beginning and a fast moving cumbia at the end. When she listened to the song for the first time she was very excited to present ideas and suggestions that will make our choreography fun and perfect. She took videos, pictures, and did demonstrations with her husband to make learning the choreography easier for us. Nichole made EVERYTHING possible to teach us how to dance. Communication with her is super easy, she’s responds quick and is very profesional. Now that the wedding is over, we cannot wait to take classes with her just for fun!
Nichole was absolutely amazing. My fiancé was very hesitant to take dance lessons but after our first session he was more than ready to sign up. Nichole choreographed a custom danc...
e that was perfect for us and took the time to understand our style and vibe.

absolutely amazing!! She was extremely kind and very professional. She somehow was able to teach my husband and I (who both have 2 left feet lol) a dance routine for our first dance. She’s truly a miracle worker!

fore the wedding, we weren't able to practice as much as we should have. Nichole was able to tweak the dance to where we still looked like we knew what we were doing on the floor!!! I would recommend her to anyone considering lessons for any event!!!

Nichole was an amazing dance instructor. From the initial conversation to the very end, she was very professional. My fiancé then (now husband) and I do not like big crowds or havi...
ng several spectators. The setting is perfect for us. We have taken classes from other well-known dance studios, but we did not like that the space was shared with others and we can only play the music to our dance occasionally. We appreciate the one-on-one attention Nichole provided. We appreciate her flexibility with some of the unforeseen circumstances during the duration of our practice. We are not good dancers but felt very comfortable after a few sessions with her.
My most favorite part that I want to share with everyone is how we enjoyed the weekly practice. It did not seem like a forced practice that needs to get done for the sake of the wedding ceremony. It turned to a date that we look forward to weekly. It made us closer together especially when Nichole reminds us to “look at each other” or “hold her this way.” It made us see each other and share loving moments. I will highly recommend her and will hire her again should there be an opportunity to now show off our improved dancing abilities.
