Wanda is amazing. Dance class was the best part in the wedding planning. Wanda made my fiancé enjoy every class and kept him motivated. She kept the class simple and fun. Everyone was impressed with our first dance. Wanda made our first dance a success. I recommend her. I am glad that we chose her.

From the moment we stepped into the studio, our teacher, Liv, was so welcoming! She was great with communicating in-person, via phone, and even via text! We are so happy we took the handful of lessons we could with her, as she helped us craft the first dance of our dreams. Liv was patient with us throughout the whole process, giving us ideas and slowly building on more steps and elements to make the dance unique and the right fit for us. She gave our special song a whole new meaning. We will forever cherish the laughs we had with her and on our Big Day (with cheers from our friends and family in the background). Looking forward to revisiting the studio to learn more from Liv and the rest of the dedicated Wanda Deagen team!

I definitely recommend going to Wanda for dance lessons. She was very sweet and hyped us up! Everyone loved the first dance. The only thing, which is so small, is that she never se...

emed to remember who we were or what we had done the time before and the music was wrong. So just seemed like she had a lot on her plate. But again, soooo small. She was honestly amazing and nice and talented. Knew what she was talking about.

Any questions?

I am so happy we found this studio! My husband and I are not people who typically like to be in the spotlight, so we were very nervous about our first dance. Liv was fantastic and ...

really helped us feel confident going into our dance. They are also extremely affordable compared to other dance studios in the area. I'm very grateful we found them!

My husband and I cannot express how happy we are to have found this studio and our dance instructor, Stephanie. We both love country music and chose a country band for our wedding,...

but we're hesitant at first because we did not know the basic dance steps. Stephanie went above and beyond to show us the basics but also choreographed my dance with my dad, my husband, and my husband and his mom's first dance. Stephanie is professional, makes dancing lots of fun, and gives you confidence on your big day! She made me feel like I had been dancing all my life. Like

re at us during our first dance. But thanks to our classes, we weren't worried at all! Everything went great and it ended up being one of my favorite moments of the evening! We could not be more happy with our result and the classes were fun and not intimidating at all. Would recommend to anyone who is nervous about their first dance!

We used Olivia to help us coordinate our first dance since my husband doesn't like to dance. It helped him build confidence. The whole package was around $300. It included 5 lesson...

s that were 45 minutes each. Our guests liked the dance. I was expecting hour lessons not 45 minutes. You also share the dance floor with other couples so it's more of group dance with private instructors.

We went for a simple dance lesson and ended up getting a few private lessons for our first dance because we loved everyone there so much! We felt like family as soon as we walked i...

n. Loren did our private lessons and she was so incredibly helpful! Even though we waited until last minute, she worked in three private lessons for us and it was definitely worth it! It wasn't even expensive! We can't wait to go back and keep learning to dance with them!

My husband was nervous about us dancing and he felt so much better after taking the dance classes. Everyone was so nice. We plan on continuing dance lessons.

Me and my husband took lessons and everyone loved our first dance. It wasn't the typical boring slow dance. We had such a fun time taking the lessons and they really paid off.

g dance package is perfect, and if you've enver danced before they will have you looking like Fred & Ginger in no time. Annalisa was our instructor and she tailored our dance to us. We did a bachata, which I'd never even heard of but now I'm a dancing fool! My hubby and I signed up for more lessons after our wedding because we had so much fun. PLEASE try them out because they are really amazing and we just love it there!!!!!

We learned the Tango in 3 lessons. The teacher was very good, she listened to any suggestions or ideas we had and implemented them. The class was fun and she was easy to work with.
