About this vendor
Want to impress your guests with a beautiful wedding dance but not sure where to start?
We are here to help you choose that special song that expresses the way you feel and the dance style that reflects your personality as a couple. We are very friendly, very supportive and very patient with our students, knowing that learning to dance might be challening and intimidating for many.
Our specialty and expertise is working with couples just like YOU! Most often our students claim to have "two left" feet or no sense of rhythm, yet after just a few dance lessons are thrilled to find out that they CAN DANCE and have fun doing it!
Group and private instruction packages are available to fit your budget. Give us a call or send a note today and lets get started!

Ilona is simply amazing. She taught us so much and choreographed our first dance perfectly, even with a difficult song I was set on. We were amazed how she was able to take a coupl...
e of non-dancers and turn it into a masterpiece that made it seem like we've been dancing together for years! People were blown away by how good our dance was at our wedding, and we owe all of that to Ilona. If you have the chance to hire her, don't hesitate to do so!
We cannot recommend Ilona enough! My now husband came in with almost no dancing experience and was quite nervous. Ilona was incredibly patient, breaking down the basics of tango un...
til we felt comfortable. She choreographed a dance that was casual and fun which was just what we wanted. We had so much fun practicing and felt so confident on our wedding day. It was a highlight of our wedding prep! Thank you, Ilona!! :)
We went to Ilona in hope to learn to sway for the first dance for our wedding with absolutely no dance experience. However Ilona taught us more than swaying - she was able to teach...
us an entire first dance within 5 sessions to the song we chose! She remembered we wanted as simple as possible but still taught moves that were memorable for our first dance! Ilona is kind, happy, patient, observant and an amazing dance instructor who built confidence in us to be able to dance in front of our family and friends! Highly recommend!!
Ilona was the best teacher we could have asked for! We started with her before covid and then picked back up after so we've been seeing her for almost two years now and she taught ...
us a great tango dance for our first song at our wedding. It was so easy to learn from her and we enjoyed seeing her for dance class. She was patient, friendly, fun, timely, professional, and just great overall! We crushed our dance at the wedding and everyone loved it and we could not have done it without Ilona! Thank you so much!
Ilona is absolutely incredible! My (now) husband and I had been so excited to take dance lessons leading up to our wedding, but with COVID, we quickly realized that in-person lesso...
ns were not going to be a possibility. We are based in Portland, OR but ended up finding Ilona online and signed up for Zoom lessons. Everything worked out PERFECTLY and I HIGHLY recommend the Zoom lessons. Neither of us had any ballroom dance experience, and she was able to walk us through everything from afar. We were surprised how well everything went and what a blast we had at each lesson! They made for a great quarantine date night. Zoom lessons are even great if you live out of town or have a busy work schedule. Ilona was incredibly accommodating when it came to finding times that worked for us. We simply pushed our living room furniture aside and we were all set to go! We both could not have been happier with how our first dance went!
Despite the well-known saying, it really takes THREE to tango!! Ilona whipped us into shape in just 5 weeks before our wedding. She expertly navigated a difficultly-timed song tha...
t I had my heart set on for our first dance and even helped us perfect “the dip” for our photos. Ilona’s patience, flexible schedule, and amazing attitude made learning our first-dance routine one of our most cherished activities leading up to the big day. She truly has a musical soul and an eye for beauty. Trust in her and you will look amazing and confident for your special event!

table with Ilona's teaching style. The flexibilty she has in her schedule has really been beneficial during the crazy wedding planning. She was able to adapt our song to the tango. We are extremely pleased with her service. If you are looking for help and direction for you first dance as couple, then Ilona is the way to go!
My husband and I took five tango dance lessons with Ilona in preparation for our wedding first dance. She was a great dance instructor and choreographer! She was very patient and t...
horough in explaining every step as neither of us had ever taken dance lessons before. She has a great personality, is very friendly, and knowledgeable about many different styles of dance. Ilona was also very flexible in trying to accommodate our busy schedules. Unlike many other wedding vendors I came across, Ilona always promptly and professionally replied to my emails and phone calls.
Her fees were a little higher than what we had budgeted for, but we definitely learned a lot and it was a fun experience. We highly recommend her services! We received a lot of compliments on our first dance!
