My husband and I had an amazing 5 lessons with Melissa Aaron. We loved learning swing dancing with her and look forward to using this skill in the future as we love going to live music and dancing together! I wish I could post a video of our dance because I LOVED all of it! She helped me go from no rhythm and two left feet to confident and most importantly having FUN while dancing! If you’re thinking about private dance lessons with your partner, don’t hesitate any longer! We cannot recommend her enough as an instructor!
My husband and I took 5 dance lessons with Elisabeth leading up to our wedding and it was the best decision! She was patient, fun to work with, and receptive to what we were comfortable doing. We received so many compliments on our dance and each lesson felt like a fun date!
This was such a great time. We went from amateurs to pros (ish) in a few lessons. I would recommend these guys for anyone that wants to up their dance game!
Any questions?
Melissa is such a wonderful, helpful and skilled teacher. I straight up told her that dance isn't my strong suit and she was still able to make the entire experience so easy and fun. I found a video of the routine we wanted and she made it happen. Everyone was so impressed with our dance and absolutely loved it. We still can't stop rewatching it. We also learned our dance before our 10 lessons were up and used the rest of our time to learn salsa, hustle and so much more! Consider Wedding Dance Coach for your big day and I promise you won't be disappointed.
We took online classes through the Wedding Dance Coach school and had a phenomenal experience. We knew we wanted something choreographed and that we felt confident to do (without having to make up something on the spot). We did the 10-pack and did 6 classes for our dance, and the remaining 4 classes for the parent dances.
PJ was a great instructor and we were able to learn everything via Zoom with ease!
We loved the choreography and how PJ worked with us to add more elements once we felt comfortable with what we had. Our guests LOVED it, and loved our parent dances as well.
Highly recommend to all!
We took lessons with Wedding Dance Coach for our first dance and are so glad we did. Elisabeth and Melissa worked with us to create a routine that matched with our style and ability level and that perfectly complimented our song. We identified a few key moves that felt comfortable to us and worked on perfecting those. We didn't want something too over-orchestrated and were so happy with their flexibility and partnership in crafting something that felt just like us. We had so much more confidence and a lot more fun having taken lessons and our guests gave us standing ovation!! Definitely recommend working with Wedding Dance Coach to make your first dance one to remember.
They truly helped us feel comfortable and confident heading into the first dance and I was able to enjoy my entire evening versus being stressed out about the dancing part.
We purchased a 10 pack package to learn a choreographed dance for our first dance at our wedding. Terra was amazing ! As two people that have no background in dancing, Terra made us feel comfortable; she was patient with us and she choreographed a fun dance to a complicated song without a solid beat. Our wedding guests were so surprised and absolutely LOVED our first dance. We heard about all night and for weeks after. Additionally, the lessons felt like a nice date-night amongst the chaos that is wedding planning. We would definitely recommend!
Elisabeth was THE BEST instructor! We had what they call the "keep it simple first dance package" for our wedding and it consists of 5 lessons, but the end result is anything but "simple"! Elisabeth immediately made us feel comfortable and within the first lesson my fears of embarrassing ourselves went away! Then she took our personalities into account for how the dance inevitably came to life. And because of that the end result became a highlight of our wedding day. Our guests are still talking about how amazing it was.
My partner and I signed up for dance lessons leading up to our wedding and we are so happy with the results. Elizabeth was a patient instructor and made us feel very comfortable. Not only did we have a fabulous dance for our big day, but we went home with skills we can use for a lifetime.
My husband and I took one dance lesson with the Wedding Dance Coach and I'm so glad we did! We had chosen a fairly slow song but our dance coach did a great job giving us easy enough steps to pick up on in 1 class and taught us some turns and dips to spice it up a little! Our guests were super impressed with our dance and loved it!
My fiancée and I had never partner danced anything more than a slow dance and so we were a bit nervous for our wedding. We did 1 lesson and had all the moves we needed to have an approachable and organic first dance that worked for us! The instructor really listened to us during our class and was very helpful with kind feedback. We are more confident dancers now.
My husband and I worked with Wedding Dance Coach for our first dance for our 7/2/23 Crested Butte wedding. Instead of Christmas gifts last year we decided to get a 5 class pack. We selected Melissa as our coach and couldn't have been happier! We spaced out our lessons to be about once a month leading up to the big day and that cadence was perfect for us. We treated our dance lessons as our date night and had so much fun practicing in between sessions. Our first dance song was unique (One I Want by Flatland Calvary). We wanted to do a country two step at the end and Melissa DELIVERED with the choreography. Performing our first dance was one of our favorite parts of our day and our guests can't stop talking about how much they loved it. We honestly may come back in the future to learn more dances, because it was truly that much fun!
Thanks again Melissa & Krystan!
My husband and I worked with Wedding Dance Coach for our first dance and couldn't be happier with the experience!! Our coach, Terra, was amazing and made the experience comfortable and fun. It was so nice to have one less thing to worry about or feel nervous about on the day of. Would recommend them to anyone, it's worth the time and money!
SO much fun! We took dance lessons because we wanted our first dance to be fun and something our guests would actually enjoy watching (instead of the boring sway). Elisabeth did such an incredible job incorporating the moves/lifts we wanted without making it too difficult to grasp. She listened to our questions and was great at constructively letting us know how we can improve our moves in real time (super helpful). Our guests LOVED our dance and were smiling just as much as we were. Whether you're looking for a few pointers to spice up your first dance or looking for something grand - I highly recommend taking dance lessons with Wedding Dance Coach!

HOORAY! Congrats on nailing your unforgettable and FUN First Dance. Those lift pics look epic! We are so happy that you enjoyed your wedding dance lessons and thank you for the opportunity to create something special just for you. Wishing you b...
oth the happiest marriage EVER and hope to see you back in the studio soon for some date night lessons -- just for fun. Cheers!
Working with them was one of the best experiences for my husband and I! We did 5 digital dance lessons and it was so easy to learn and understand what to do. Learning a dance together was also such a great experience for us and it made our first dance for our guests much more special to watch than just swaying back and forth. Our instructor was great at mixing her vision, our vision, and trying different things to make sure we were comfortable. We are so thankful for turning our wedding into more of a fairytale with such a memorable and unique first dance for us and our guests.
My husband and I took 5 dance lessons in preparation for our wedding. We absolutely loved the experienced and would recommend this studio to anyone who is getting married! Whether you're looking for a choreographed first dance or just wanting to feel more comfortable on the dance floor, Wedding Dance Coach has everything. We took lessons with Elisabeth Barry and she was such a fun, warm, and talented dance teacher. She immediately made us feel welcome and at ease with the process. She always gave us choices on what we liked best, which we appreciated immensely. By the end of the 5 lessons we felt so confident and have even talked about continuing to take dance lessons as a married couple! Taking dance lessons in preparation for our wedding was such a fun way to connect as a couple and relieve planning stress! Thank you, Wedding Dance Coach!
We absolutely loved our experience with Wedding Dance Coach. As someone who was dreading my first dance, I am shocked to say that it was on the of the most fun parts of our wedding day! We were able to go into our dance confident and care free instead of it being something we were worrying about all night. We did the 5 lesson package and it was perfect to make us confident on our wedding day. On top of helping us nail our first dance, we had so much FUN doing it. Not just the dance on the wedding night, but all the lessons leading up to it were our favorite part of wedding planning. My husband and I have both said that even if we didn't end up doing our dance for some reason at our wedding that the lessons themselves would have been worth it alone. This was hands-down the best investment we made in the wedding planning process and I would recommend it to anyone.
We booked a 5 session package with the Wedding Dance Coach, and Melissa was an amazing dance instructor. She helped us feel comfortable, relaxed, and confident during our dance. She did an incredible job in understanding our capabilities and limitations so that we both were able to enjoy our first dance! I would highly recommend her and anyone from Wedding Dance Coach!

Hooray Tamara! I am so thrilled to hear that you loved your dance lessons and felt totally comfortable and confident on the wedding dance floor. Congrats on your marriage and we hope to see you back in the studio soon for some FUN date night le...
ssons! Cheers!
We had the most fantastic experience taking dance lessons with Paige. She made us feel so comfortable from the very start and worked with us to create the perfect first dance! We loved how we were able to give her a nontraditional song, and she quickly created choreography that seamlessly matched the song. She was responsive and encouraging! The dance classes were a fun date night in and of themselves...it was just an added bonus having a finished product to perform for our guests at the wedding! We absolutely recommend using the Wedding Dance Coach for your special day!!
Wedding Dance Coach did an amazing job making us non-dancers feel comfortable and confident with our first dance. It was really fun to take lessons and Wedding Dance Coach made the whole process so easy! I highly recommend the 5-lesson package!
We love to dance but this was no ordinary dance. It was our first dance — in front of all of our family and friends! And it was a waltz and that’s not our usual style at all. But Tara got to know us and choreographed a dance that felt natural to both of us.
Halfway through our set of lessons, we decided we wanted to change one of the elements and Tara was amazing at coming up with options and helping us quickly weave it into what we’ve already learned.
After five lessons, we felt confident and comfortable. We could actually relax and ENJOY the dance rather than worrying about how we looked or what step came next.
We got rave reviews, cheers, and lots of applause. But best of all — we had a blast with each step!
We’d highly recommend The Wedding Dance Coach and Tara our instructor!
We had the BEST time with Melissa! She was so fun and patient with us (neither my husband nor I are strong dancers). I would highly recommend taking lessons with Melissa as it was a highlight of wedding planning! And our guests loved our dance!
We had the best time taking dance lessons for our wedding through Wedding Dance Coach! We didn't have a clear vision of what we wanted our wedding dance to look like and from the first lesson, Melissa helped us craft a first dance that reflected our personalities and relationship while making it so fun! We cannot recommend this group enough - without them, we would have been awkwardly shuffling across the floor!
Testimonial:
We got married last weekend, and about two weeks before i started to panic, i had forgot to plan a dance with my husband! How were our two, awkward left feet going to dance in front of everyone? We did one class, a week before our wedding with Melissa. It was the best purchase we made to prep for the wedding. She combined our two left feet into dancing feet, and the crowd went absolutely wild for us. I never expected a first dance to be a moment j would enjoy with my levels of anxiety but it was the best moment of the night thanks to the wedding dance coach! Highly reccomend!
When my husband and I talked about the first dance at our wedding, we both immediately knew that we wanted to do something different than your traditional slow dance. While the idea of a choreographed dance overwhelmed us at first, we gained an instant cheerleader in the owner, Elizabeth, the very first time I called and explained our crazy idea. From that moment I just knew we HAD to book the 10-class package and begin the process even though we had just a little over 12 weeks before the wedding. Because they have such a user-friendly booking system, it was very easy to book all 10 classes and find times that worked with both our work schedules, and overall crazy wedding planning schedule.
Now, if you're reading this, you need to understand the extent of what we were asking of Wedding Dance Coach and their amazing instructors. We came to them with a specific song (Two of Hearts by Stacey Q), and asked them to choreograph a step-by-step dance for us. While most couples would be more than happy learning a few basic moves/steps and calling it good, we were asking for a lot more than that. And boy did they DELIVER!!!! We switched between both Melissa and Elisabeth who were both incredible. While Melissa nailed the overall structure of the dance, Elisabeth then came in and whipped out amazing moves that would leave my husband and I awe struck just because of how clearly she understood our vision.
As we finished 8 classes, both instructors showed us so much support and grace as it wasn't always the easiest process to learn a dance in 10 weeks, especially in between bach parties and wedding planning. We then got to use the remaining two classes on a mother/son dance. The end product was what I would describe as the showstopper of our wedding day. Seeing and hearing how much joy that moment brought our closest friends and family was amazing. We even have little cousins still asking us if we could teach them the dance.
I can't begin to explain how grateful we are to the team at Wedding Dance Coach for being so adventurous with us and giving us a memory we will treasure for the rest of our lives. If you are on the fence about booking, take this as your sign to do it! You won't regret it.
Melissa was amazing in helping us choreograph our first dance for our wedding. Going in I was definitely nervous given the 1-foot height difference between my now husband and me but she helped us adjust the moves so they all work. Our whole experience was fantastic and part of me wants to get married again just so we can work with Melissa again!!
Thank you Elisabeth for making our wedding dance so memorable!
Elisabeth was super fun to work with. She was very patient with us, since my now hubby does not dance and mayyy have 2 left feet, where I am an amateur dancer and LOVE to dance! She listened to our wants and helped create a beautiful dance with some fun moves thrown in for me, while keeping the base classically simple so that my hubby felt comfortable.
We chose the 5-lesson "anti-middle school dance package" since we wanted a dance that wasn't overly choreographed so we could enjoy the moment together on our big day.
Our song (Don't you Worry by Oh Wonder) is pretty slow, and in a strange time signature, but that didn't phase Elisabeth. She communicated her ideas and always talked through everything with us to make sure the dance was what we wanted.
We had so much fun practicing our dance, and gave a flawless performance on our wedding day!
Definitely one of the highlights of our wedding prep
Our photos say it all - thanks again Elisabeth + Wedding Dance Coach!
We had Melissa as our dance coach for 10 lessons and boy was it worth it! My husband who was super against going to dance lessons actually enjoyed it a ton! Melissa made it fun and exciting. We would highly recommend going to Melissa at wedding dance coach to prepare you for your first dance!
Although there is plenty of stress and planning that goes into a wedding, I was relatively relaxed about everything other than the first dance. Having had no dance experience or really any rhythm at all, I dreaded getting up in front of people and embarrassing myself. My wife knew this, and was smart/kind enough to book us five lessons with the Wedding Dance Coach. Melissa got us into a groove quickly and was an excellent teacher. She didn’t push anything outside of our comfort zone, but also taught us some dance moves that I never thought that I was capable of.
My wife and I definitely won’t be winning any dance competitions in the future (my fault, not hers), but our first dance went great. Our guests were shocked at the work that went into the routine, and we definitely would not have been able to put on a show like that without Melissa’s coaching and encouragement. The first dance went from being the most terrifying part of the wedding, to arguably my favorite part of the whole weekend.
If you are nervous, or just want to become a better dancer, I highly recommend going to the Wedding Dance Coach! We will definitely use what we learned for years to come, and it was not only a fun experience but also so worthwhile. Thanks for all your help Melissa!
We knew we wanted something special, passionate, and a bit more advanced for our first dance and knew we needed professional help to achieve our perfect dance. Melissa was amazing and gave us what we wanted with our song. She was so fun to work with and made learning very easy. Everyone at our reception loved our dance and said it was so classy and romantic. Thanks again, Melissa!
Melissa at the Wedding Dance Coach was such an incredible instructor that we would highly recommend if you are seeking help in choreographing your special dance. She is extremely personable and easy to work with and helped my wife and I quickly learn and master our dance in just a few classes after starting with little to no prior dance experience. She focuses on your unique comfort levels and strengths and ties them perfectly into your song, ensuring that you build upon those to create the most enjoyable and entertaining dance for you and your wedding guests. There were multiple times throughout our dance where our wedding guests cheered with joy after some of our moves and it was the most fun and memorable experience. We couldn't have done it without Melissa's instruction, and our experience with her learning our special dance was one of the best decisions we made!
My wife and got married on October first and as someone with two left feet, I was extremely nervous about the first dance. After a bit of googling, we found Melissa and the rest is history.
Melissa was extremely friendly and was able to convey concepts and moves clearly and concisely. Additionally, we had planned to do a much more complicated dance but due to an unfortunate incident involving a dirt bike and the ground we had to change plans. Melissa was very understanding and amenable to these last-minute changes and we are so grateful for that.
Taking these lessons was one of the best decisions my wife and I could have made. Feeling comfortable on the dance floor gave us the opportunity to be one hundred percent in the moment and it was one of the biggest highlights of an already amazing day.
We’ll definitely be back to learn new dances!
We had the best time working with Terra on our wedding dance. It was a very fun thing to do leading up to our wedding. We did a package of 5, which was great for learning choreography and basic steps for our specific dance. We definitely want to go back for other lessons! Highly recommend!
When we chose our first dance song we decided we wanted to completely surprise our guests with a choreographed dance. The song was pretty complex and changed pace quite a bit so we wanted a unique choreography that would move from ballroom dancing to faster dancing to disco-y vibes. We were partnered with Melissa for our dance and we LOVED working with her. Our first day was a bit frustrating because we both didn't know what the heck we were doing but Melissa was so consistent and patient with us she inspired us to go home and practice dilligently. Watching our progression over the weeks was astounding. She was able to teach us 3 entirely different styles of dance to incorporate into the song! We actually looked forward to our appointments with her. She had such a fun energy and was always so patient with us. Her teaching style made it such that learning from her was not intimidating. She listened to what we wanted and never tried to force her ideas on us...though honestly the ideas she provided to us were great and a lot of them really landed with us. On our wedding day we were so confident and we NAILED the dance. Our entire wedding erupted in cheering and clapping at the end. I'm literally tearing up right now remembering it. Melissa was so great we hope to return working with her to learn some fun new dance moves.
My husband and I have always been decent dancers, mostly two-stepping. We thought our first dance would be just fine without a lesson but on a whim decided to book Melissa for one hour.
If you're considering a lesson, RUN to Melissa right now!! She taught us a handful of spectacular moves which took our dance from mediocre to an absolute fairytale. I recommend anyone wanting to amp up their dance and create something memorable with your partner, this is the way to go. Dozens of people at our wedding made a point to tell us it was the best first dance they had ever seen.
Melissa was the best! She helped us feel confident about our first dance which really spilled over to the whole day. One of us had been told their entire life that they had no rhythm, and had tried dancing before and had awful experiences. Melissa was so patient with us both, to review and rereview our steps. We would definitely keep Wedding Dance Coach in the budget if we were replanning everything, money very well spent!
Elisabeth is simply fantastic! My husband and I were terrified we would look like complete amateurs when we hit the dance floor for our first dance but because of Elisabeth's awesome teaching skills, she made us look like complete professionals! We highly recommend her and her team to any couple looking to spruce up their first dance. Thank you, Elisabeth!
We worked with Penny on our first dance and she was amazing! It was the perfect date night leading up to the wedding and something we could look forward together during the craziness of wedding planning. We felt really supported in what we wanted our first dance to feel like and weren't made to do any move we weren't comfortable with. They even cut our song to the perfect length for us. It was a great experience and highly recommend.
PJ, we're both so glad we booked a class with you - it was seriously the best time we've had during this whole wedding planning! It was really fun to spend an hour of quality time together doing something we've never done before as a couple. We both feel much better about our first dance and have you to thank for that! We both can't wait to surprise our guests with your choreography!
I worked with "Wedding Dance Coach" for two dances: my father/daughter dance (which started as a normal sway, but then turned into a silly 80s dance moves montage) and also my first dance with my groom (which was a simple but very choreographed dance). I've worked with 3 different teachers at this studio: Elizabeth, Troy, and Melissa. Elizabeth and Melissa were great to work with, but we mostly worked with Troy and Troy is amazing!!!! My husband (still weird to call him that, as we are only 2 weeks married haha) was nervous about dance lessons, but Troy was great at putting my groom at ease. We are not dancers, though we did do a handful of swing dance lessons a few years ago - and we were so delayed with planning everything for our wedding (we planned our whole 100 person wedding in 5 months) so we only started taking lessons for our first dance 2 weeks before our wedding. But in those 4 lessons, Troy was able to put together a really incredible choreographed dance for us, that we felt super confident and excited to show off at our reception.
We had the wonderful opportunity to work with Melissa virtually on our first dance. She really listened to our needs and was patient when we changed our minds. We were a little nervous about being taught virtually but she did a great job showing and describing the moves. The process was 6 sessions over the course of a few months, and by the end we had a 3.5 minute dance! On top of the wedding dance, we learned many other dances and steps, that we can use anytime - from others' weddings, to dancing in the living room. Our guests loved it and we felt so confident!
Booking dance lessons for our first dance as husband and wife was done on a whim and I’m so thankful we made the decision that we did. We worked with Terra, who was phenomenal. She gave us choreography that was fun, simple, and left our guests oohing and ahhing. Our time spent at dance lessons was always a good time, filled with laughs, and made us even more excited for our big day if that’s possible. We would highly recommend Wedding Dance Coach and Terra!
We worked with Melissa for our first dance! We did five sessions which was the perfect amount of time to choreograph and perfect the dance, and she was really attuned to creating a dance that met our vision and incorporated our personalities. It was an absolute pleasure to work with her and couldn't recommend her more highly!
We worked with Penny and had THE BEST Experience. She was able to help us choreograph and cut the song we wanted to make it perfect. We booked out two months before the wedding and thought we were running behind but we got quickly up to speed and our dance went FLAWLESSLY.
Wow! My mother and I were so nervous to do a mother daughter dance especially in the setting of my step dad passing the summer before my wedding. I am so so happy to have found Wedding Dance Coach and our coach Melissa. It was SO MUCH FUN taking lessons with Melissa. She was so supportive, understood and worked with our vision for our dance, and most importantly, made the experience unforgettably fun! She is such a genuine, caring, amazing person and I am so blessed to have been able to work with her. You will seriously not regret taking lessons with Wedding Dance Coach. It is worth every penny. We felt so prepared for the big day and our guest were wowed away with our unique dance.
Cannot recommend the Wedding Dance Coach enough! I had done the basic choreography of our first dance as I wanted to do a fun mash up of some of our favourite songs, but wanted to add an extra 'wow factor' to it and came across the Wedding Dance Coach. They helped us add in some amazing lifts, spins and poses as well as tidied up our initial slow dance portion and omg did it look incredible after!! My fiance was really apprehensive about doing this especially virtually as we are based in London but we had SO much fun in the lessons and he could see what a difference it made to our dance. PJ was our main teacher and she was so lovely and patient and such a good teacher over zoom! She was able to see if we were doing things wrong or struggling with things easily and came up with alternative suggestions. We then had a final lesson with Elizabeth who polished everything up; little things from hand positions to facial expressions. Honestly couldn't recommend this company more, whether you want in person lessons or virtual, it really will make your first dance so unique and amazing, whether you're a beginner or advanced dancer! Definitely book some lessons!
Melissa was SO helpful in coaching us for our first wedding dance. We did one lesson with her and she really optimized the time to help us nail the basics but also taught us 3 "fancy" moves that really impressed our guests. She is so patient and good at explaining everything to very non experienced people like us :) She also video tapes everything so that you can practice at home. We felt so confident going into our wedding day and the dance turned out amazing! Would HIGHLY recommend Melissa!
We aren’t dancers, so the idea of a first dance made us both really anxious. We talked about booking lessons and then somehow our wedding was so close and we hadn’t done it. We booked a virtual lesson with PJ from Wedding Dance Coach at the last second and had the best time. The virtual lesson was great because we didn’t have to plan travel time into our day to get to a studio and being in our own space took some of the nervousness away. Not only did PJ teach us how to do some basics, she helped us choreograph the perfect first dance, which we promptly forgot most of while on the dance floor. We were soooo nervous. It would have been so much worse without any type of lesson though, as we had no idea what we were doing. We got some spins down and a few basic dance moves. Some of our guests told us it was so much fun to watch because there was some action to it, so everybody won! I cannot recommend this team enough and booking a lesson.
At the end of our lesson, PJ even got teary eyed and it made us do the same. It was magical. Seriously.
The only thing I wish we had done differently was book sooner, book an additional lesson and practice a bit more (our fault for taking our lesson so close to our wedding!! The time goes so fast when wedding planning!)!!!
We waited until the last minute to book our 1-hour session with Melissa at the Denver location. We figured that at most we'd learn a few easy dance moves but Melissa used every minute of that hour effectively and choreographed our first dance wonderfully! She made us feel confident and empowered - practicing dancing was definitely the most fun part of wedding prep for us! :)
We would highly recommend working with Melissa for your dance lessons! If you are able, don't be like us - book more sessions. But if you are like us, you can trust that 1 hour is absolutely worth it and can teach you enough for your first dance!
My (now) husband and I were gifted 5 dance lessons to the Wedding Dance Coach before our wedding. We decided to take 3 lessons together and I took 1 dance lesson with my dad and my husband took 1 with his mom. We took our lessons from Penny and Melissa and both coaches were kind, non-judgmental, responsive, creative, and so much fun! Penny and Melissa made sure we got exactly what we wanted out of the lessons and all three of our dances at our wedding were a huge hit. We are so grateful that we took advantage of dance lessons that were gifted to us and we cannot recommend this company enough!
We worked with Terra Summers for our first dance and had a GREAT experience! She was an awesome teacher and helped us put together a beautiful dance that fit our personalities and was not to hard to learn. I felt confident out on the dance floor and had FUN doing my first dance at our wedding.
Booking dance lessons for our wedding was one of the best decisions we made during wedding planning. It made all the difference. Thanks to our lessons we felt comfortable together on the dance floor, but didn’t feel over choreographed or stressed out to remember moves. Melissa was such a pleasure to work with and helped us dial in our perfect dance. We hope to take lessons in the near future and I would recommend anyone nervous for their first dance to do the same!
Melissa A. was a fantastic dance coach leading up to our wedding! While the first dance was a daunting thought for my fiance (now husband!!) and I, she was able to make the process fun and informative. I purchased the 5 class package and felt it was a good number for a semi choreographed routine. We wanted it to feel natural, and ensure we didn't look bad in front of all our family and friends and the Wedding Dance Coach put us at ease! After our lessons, we were able to walk out onto the dancefloor at our wedding and just enjoy the moment and have fun with each other - something I never thought was going to be possible! Our guests loved our lift and a few of our more 'candid' moves, which was such a great feeling. We are so happy we took these classes and it was a fun date night to lighten up all the stress that comes with wedding planning! Melissa was amazing and very patient - highly reccomend!!
We absolutely LOVED using Wedding Dance Coach to get ready for our big day. We worked with Melissa Aaron who was fantastic - we are actually horrible dancers when left up to our own devices (seriously, it's a running joke within our friends) and just wanted to be able to move with rhythm and not make fools of ourselves. By the end of lesson 5, Not only were we moving confidently and fluidly, but Melissa had helped us come up with a simple routine with a couple lifts, dips and spins that left our friends and family speechless (again I cannot emphasize enough how they were expecting the worst hahahaha). It was also so much fun - we really looked forward to our lessons and would make date nights out of them! I cannot recommend them enough!!!
Wedding Dance Coach's virtual lesson was such a surprise. My fiance and I had an excellent time and feel much better prepared for our wedding! It was awesome to still have the opportunity to learn how to dance while in quarantine from testing positive 2 weeks before our wedding! PJ was excellent with guiding through the virtual zoom meeting and calling out issues while also being super understanding with normal internet issues/slowdown. We highly recommend Wedding Dance Coach!
Taking dance lessons with Melissa was an incredible experience. My mom got my husband and I a 10-pack of dance lessons to prep for our first dance. We used 6 or 7 of them for us, and the rest for our parent dances, and all I have to say is WOW. By the first lesson, Melissa had us doing multiple dance styles to see what worked best for us. By the last lesson, we were so confident in our dance, and it was perfect for us! At our wedding, our dance was amazing. Our guests loved every minute of it too! In addition, my dad - who has never been comfortable on a dance floor - was singing along while we danced and nailing all of the steps. Melissa was so patient with him that he even said he'd be interested in taking more lessons from her! I would 100% recommend taking lessons here, and I can't wait to go back for more!
We met with Melissa once before our wedding and she was so helpful in helping us polish our first dance! The session was fun and gave us the confidence we needed to have a good time with it and not be worried or stressed about it.
We LOVED taking lessons with Melissa! She was so easy to learn from and to work with. Melissa was super patient and made every lesson fun for us. When it came to our first dance on our wedding day we were excited more than anything and it was a memory we'll never forget. Our friends and family loved it, as well. Overall, we had a great experience and it's a dance as well as lessons we'll use moving forward at other weddings. I'd highly recommend Melissa! We were totally comfortable for our first dance and had the "Anti-Middle School Dance Package", which was a great amount for us.
Melissa is the best! She gave us and easy to follow routine for our first dance. Wasn't too complicated, but wasn't not a middle school dance either. We looked confident because of her lesson! Can't wait for the pictures and videos to come and so we can relive it :) Thanks Melissa!!!
Melissa is AMAZING! My husband and I had so much fun doing dance classes with her leading up to the wedding. We chose the 5-class package and felt more confident going into our wedding day (without feeling like it was too choreographed or stiff either). More than anything, it was just a really fun activity to do together and Melissa is so sweet! Definitely recommend!
Wow. What can we say? Troy was the absolute best. He took us from zero confidence, beginners shuffling across the floor to full-on dancers. We never imagined being able to have a choreographed dance that would not only make us feel amazing but also make us look so good! We never felt like we were 'not dancers' (even though we both thought we had 2 left feet!) and Troy had so much patience as we learned the moves and combinations he was teaching us. Each week he easily built on our previous lesson and helped us refine our dancing and confidence. During our first dance, we realized our nerves were making us go a bit too fast, but we were able to improvise an extra outside turn (that looked seamless) and picked right up where we needed to be! Going into dance lessons seemed like a chore, but it truly became something we looked forward to each time, and Troy was a big part of that! We learned so much more than just dancing in the process, it was almost like pre-marriage counseling too -- communication, letting the other lead, and working together! We are so thankful we found Troy and he was able to help us with the most amazing first dance. We highly recommend Troy and My Wedding Dance Coach for anyone wanting to spend quality time leading up to their wedding and having the most memorable first dance too!
Taking lessons with Melissa through the Wedding Dance Coach was one our favorite pre-wedding activities. We did the "The Anti-Middle School Dance Package". It was the perfect amount of low-key prep for us, I ended up using 1 of the lessons with Dad for our dance. We felt prepared for our wedding date, but not overly choreographed. Melissa quickly picked up on the vibe we were going for! I would 100% recommend!
Melissa, Penny and Elizabeth from My Wedding Dance Coach were just so amazing to work with! We could never have pulled off our amazing father-daughter dance without them. The unbelievable reaction from our guests was so worth the time and money we put in to this special project! Weeks later it's all anyone can talk about. We came to them with an idea and they helped us make it an epic event! They helped us fine tune and mix the music, choreograph the entire dance and patiently taught us every step. They were personally and emotionally invested in us and our dance. They even sent us an encouraging note the day of the wedding sending their support. We love My Wedding Dance Coach! You will too. They are the absolute best. You can do it! Dream big and shock the world....My Wedding Dance Coach can help you create a memory you will never forget!
Melissa surpassed our wildest expectations and was able to teach even my clumsy self with only a couple hours of instruction. She was able to put together a graceful and flexible dance that made us look like the best dancers in our friend group, and nothing looked scripted. If we could give Melissa and the team at Wedding Dance Coach 6 stars we would - truly the best in the business, with a natural gift for teaching and unerringly professional and responsive. Thank you so much Melissa for making our wedding dance such a wild success!
Thanks to Troy at Wedding Dance Coach this bride’s dream came true!! And the groom had a BLAST as well. Troy accepted the challenge of teaching us the Dirty Dancing “I’ve Had the Time of my Life” finale dance. We were both beginners, but Troy was SO patient and encouraging. We had a lot of fun working with him (the BEST date night activity) and after 10 lessons over 5 months were able to confidently pull off the surprise dance at our wedding. Whether you want a choreographed first dance or just some moves to wow your guests and get the perfect pictures - Wedding Dance Coach is the place to go!
My wife and I chose a difficult, up tempo song to dance to at our wedding. Without either of us having much dancing experience at all, Melissa was able to listen to our song and suggest for us an amazing dance that incorporated multiple different types of dance moves and styles. Everyone was impressed! I highly recommend this studio for your wedding dance coach!
Melissa is the best and such a great teacher! Everyone loved our dance and was so impressed!
The best part of getting ready for the wedding in the months leading up to it!! We loved learning some dance moves and a some choreography with Melissa before the wedding! Our first dance was a BLAST and we couldn't have done it without her phenomenal coaching. I would HIGHLY recommend Wedding Dance Coach for any couple wanting to learn some dance moves for their wedding and even beyond! So much fun , we loved our first dance so much because of her help!!
Our teacher was Troy and he did a fantastic job. We started learning with him pre-pandemic and we were still able to pick up where we left off over a year later. We gave him the song and he helped us with 5 different spins/moves and how to time them perfectly to the music. Highly recommend dance lessons and even better with Troy.
We danced with Penny, and she was so lovely to work with! We had not done a choreographed dance before, and her patience, kindness and constant positive attitude made our five sessions with her extremely enjoyable! My wife and I had a great first dance at our wedding because of Penny, and we would definitely recommend her to couples looking to have fun and impress their friends and family.
We took one lesson through Wedding Dance Coach and it was the exact amount of guidance and instruction we needed to make sure we felt confident and looked great during our first dance!
Melissa from Wedding Dance Coach was so amazing to work with. Incredibly patient and thoughtful in her coaching, and we needed a lot of coaching! She was so creative with the dance, and our guests were floored! We are so glad we did this as part of our wedding planning. It was nice to take a break from the stress and attend dance lessons that put a smile on our faces. Thank you Melissa and the Wedding Dance Coach team for making this process so fun! We'll remember our dance forever ❤️
WOW! We used Melissa as our Wedding Dance Coach and we are SO glad we did! I've been to a lot of failed Zumba classes so I didn't have high hopes for our wedding dance, but boy was I was wrong! Melissa empowered us with cool, classy dance moves and all the confidence required to get out on the dance floor. All of our guests loved our first dance and we will always think of it as the greatest gift as we have since practiced similar moves as guests at other weddings. We are so grateful to Melissa for her coaching and highly recommend this team to help you with your big day!!
We hired Wedding Dance Coach to help us on our first dance for our mountain wedding. It was fun going in for lessons the few weeks leading up to our wedding and our guests loved the final outcome! I would recommend this to any couple who doesn’t want to awkwardly sway in front of their family and friends. Melissa couldn’t have been nicer or easier to work with. Thank you!
We worked with Penny at Wedding Dance Coach and she was perfect for our needs. We came with a pre-choregraphed dance and she helped us fine tune some of our moves and techniques in an hour. It was definitely worth it - guests thought we had been taking dance lessons for years. Our only wish is that we had more time to take more lessons with her - it was so fun and useful.
Prior to our wedding my husband expressed concern for dancing a "traditional" first dance. A perfectionist and musician, he wanted our dance to be more than a middle school sway. Three weeks prior to our reception we took lessons with Melissa and were surprised by how much we enjoyed it. After just a couple of lessons we had 4/5 moves in our back pocket that we could incorporate into a natural dance to wow the audience. We managed to score a lot of cheers, laughs and applauses - all while having fun and feeling confident. I would definitely recommend The Wedding Dance Coach (and Melissa) to anyone who wants to learn a few basics or beyond - whether it's for a wedding, some other event, or just for fun.
Such an awesome process. Melissa is a great teacher, and made this entire activity so fun for my wife and I. We will definitely be back for additional lessons!
Melissa & Troy were absolutely incredible!! They both helped choreograph our first dance and parent dances! This process made us a little nervous and we are so glad we did lessons before to feel prepared. We are still receiving compliments on how good the dances were. Hire Wedding Dance Coach- you won’t be disappointed!
Melissa was an amazing instructor, she took the time to help us really learn the basics and then build from there. The moves she chose really fit well with our song and weren't too complicated to remember. Our dance was beautiful and our wedding guests loved it. I would highly recommend her as a wedding dance coach.
My fiancé and I decided to go with Wedding Dance Coach after the rave reviews I read on The Knot and Wedding Wire. We didn't want a fully choreographed dance, but also didn't want to do the middle school dance, swaying back and forth. We purchased the 5 lesson package and we were paired with Melissa as our instructor, and she was phenomenal! Not only was she super patient, but she was very through in instructing us and made the lessons very enjoyable. My fiancé is a pretty decent dancer, I on the other hand, have 2 left feet. By no means am I dancing like a pro after 5 lessons, BUT I am definitely more confident and excited for our first dance at our wedding next weekend! A huge thanks to Melissa for being so sweet and helpful!!
My (then) fiancé bought this for me as a valentine's day gift leading up to our wedding and honestly I can't tell you how happy I am that he did! Melissa was a fantastic coach - she spent time getting to know us and what we were looking for up front, and from there helped us hone the perfect set of moves to work into our first dance. We had a ton of fun learning both the basics and some cool moves that photographed really really well. The best part was how confident we were going into our first dance, which let us be ourselves and have a blast doing it.
I purchased the Anti-Middle School Dance Package with Melissa for the first dance at my wedding and was so glad I did it. My husband was very hesitant to do lessons because he didn't want to look overly choreographed but I didn't want to sway around for 3 minutes. Melissa was able to work with us on a dance that had some free-style for him and some choreographed moves for me. Everyone was commenting all night on how beautiful our first dance was. My one regret at my wedding was that I didn't get it on video. :( Melissa is great and I would highly recommend the Wedding Dance Coach!
