If you are looking for dance lessons for your wedding, absolutely consider Andrea. Our experience with her was wonderful and helpful. It surpassed what I was looking for. We only did the one-hour session, and although I understand why multiple sessions might be helpful, I was amazed by how much she was able to get in that one hour. She was super helpful and comfortable to be around. She was able to direct and give notes without being pushy or judgy. I would highly recommend for whatever level you're at and whatever route you're wanting to take for your wedding dance. :)
Andrea is an incredible instructor! We had no experience with dancing and were very nervous about our first dance. We knew we wanted lessons and figured we could get simple dance moves down. We provided Andrea the song and she made the whole process so easy. She taught us step by step for each piece of the song and provided us with a dance that fit us and the song perfectly! If you are in search with dance lessons for your wedding definitely go with Wedding Dance Houston! Our dance went so smoothly the day of the wedding, we stunned the crowd and had people cheering!
The Knot is a great source to find vendors, but can also be overwhelming. Andrea was one of the first vendors I inquired about a
choreographed first dance and she immediately understood the level we were looking for. Andrea really listened to what we wanted and created something we will continue to do every anniversary. Every session was full of energy and fun. Absolutely loved the intimate dance my husband and I were able to share as our first dance. I’d do it all over again, no questions asked!
My husband and I wanted to do our first dance to an italian rock song that became "our" song shortly after we started dating. We had no idea how to dance to it so we sought out the help of a wedding choreographer. We're so lucky we found Andrea because she's absolutely amazing. She has this bright, cheery, and calming energy to her that makes you feel super at ease when you're learning from her. She's also a crazy talented dancer. She helped us come up with a super impressive dance full of spins, dips, lifts, and twirls that blew all our guests away. We learned it all in six lessons and had so much fun doing it. Our only regret was not paying for wedding videography because the pictures we got really don't do it justice.
Andrea is amazing! She choreographed our first dance but also helped us with three other ones. My husband and I are no experts and we can't believe everything we did thanks to Andrea! I love how she worked with us every step of the way making sure we were comfortable with the dance moves. Fully recommend her!
I reached out to Andrea for our first dance and she was able to choreograph a simple and elegant dance. She was fun to work with and timely. Definitely recommend!!!
Andrea was fantastic! My wife and I signed up for a ten-lesson package and Andrea helped us through the whole process of learning two-step and our dance choreography. Neither of us had much experience dancing before so this was a new experience and Andrea made it very special. This was my favorite part of the wedding planning process.
Andrea is just absolutely the sweetest most joyful instructor you’ll ever meet ! Anytime we were little stressed with wedding planning seeing her for practice made everything just feel peaceful. She asked questions on what our vision was and made sure we felt comfortable with it each dance move ! Our entrance and dance was absolutely beautifully put together our family and friends were complementing us ! I would recommend Andrea to anyone looking to wow your presence at your wedding day !!
Andrea was an absolute dream to work with! She was so kind, flexible, and easy to learn from!!!! She created a beautiful wedding dance for my husband and I and taught it to us in 5 lessons. It was EXACTLY what we needed and so reasonably priced. Andrea is a true professional who is able to break things down to people without a professional dance background and provide such a wonderful experience leading up to and for our wedding! Thank you Andrea!
Andrea was super helpful. We had no idea what to do for our first dance and now we are prepared for it thanks to her lessons. Highly recommend!
Andrea is Fantastic!!! She worked with us line by line and move by move with our wedding song. She was always ready with fun and creative moves that went great with our vision and the song but was also very open to ideas we wanted to do and changes we wanted to make. She uses a patient and hands on approach for those of us who are not the best dancers but can switch gears to expert mode quickly for those that have more rhythm. Andrea opened her home as our personal dance studio but also offered to meet us anywhere else. 10/10 would work with her again for any choreographed dance I need in the future
Andrea made the entire wedding dance experience so easy and fun for me, my dad and my husband. I sent over my song choices & she asked detail oriented questions like what type of shoes will I wear, how much movement will my dress allow & what would the dance floor look like. She then came up with amazing choreography for both my father/daughter dance & first dance. We are all very beginner level, so she kept it simple for us and added fun spins & combinations when we felt up to it. She was so patient, lovely to work with and helped us create the perfect dances in the comfort of our own living room. She even recorded both dances with my phone as we practiced so we’d have videos to look back on while practicing. She is a wonderful teacher and were able to learn and practice both dances in 2 hours. I highly recommend Andrea and am so grateful we found her for our wedding dance!
Andrea was a great teacher to my wife, my mother and me. We took a first dance lesson and a mother-son dance lesson and she made sure we had all our moves ready to show off at our wedding. Thanks Andrea!
Where do I begin? Andrea was an absolute gem throughout our dance journey for our wedding. From the very start, she attentively listened to our vision of a playful yet loving first dance and turned it into a breathtaking reality.
Andrea's dedication was unparalleled; she didn't just choreograph a routine but tailored it meticulously to match our physical abilities, the unique nuances of our chosen venue, and even our wedding outfits. It was evident she invested time and effort to ensure every step felt natural and harmonious.
One of Andrea's standout talents was her ability to seamlessly weave our chosen song into the choreography. The dance felt like an extension of the music, flowing effortlessly, and capturing the essence of our relationship. She truly made it our own, incorporating elements that reflected our personalities and the journey of our love.
Practicing the choreography Andrea provided was an absolute blast! She made each session enjoyable and fun-filled, creating an atmosphere where learning felt like a delightful adventure. Her patience was remarkable; she never rushed us, instead, she took the time to teach each move in various ways until we grasped it perfectly.
What set Andrea apart was her exceptional teaching skills. She didn't just instruct; she inspired confidence and instilled a sense of joy in the dance. Her passion for dance and genuine care for her students shone through every step of the way.
In all honesty, Andrea exceeded our wildest expectations. She didn't just teach us a dance; she crafted an unforgettable experience. Her dedication, creativity, and personalized approach left us not only well-prepared but also incredibly excited and confident for our first dance as a married couple.
If you're looking for a dance instructor who goes above and beyond, Andrea is undoubtedly the one. Our wedding dance wouldn't have been as magical without her expertise and genuine warmth. Thank you, Andrea, for making our special day even more extraordinary!
It was great to walk on the dance floor on wedding day and know exactly what we were going to do. She kept it simple for us and we were able to execute it.
We absolutely loved Andrea! She helped us with our “first dance” for our wedding day. We did an English and Spanish song and we couldn’t be happier with the outcome. She is very knowledgeable and was very patient with us since we had no prior experience in dancing. She made us feel comfortable and encouraged us when we messed up with our steps. We both had a great time and would love to keep learning new dance moves. We look forward to adding a few more dance lessons in the near future.
Andrea was absolutely amazing! We needed help with learning a dance for our “first wedding dance”. We tried to do it ourselves but being non dancers, it was tough. Especially because we chose something a bit “intermediate”. Andrea’s patience and strong background in all types of dance styles really helped us break down the dance and learn it properly! We received a lot of compliments from friends and family on our wedding day. Stuff like “I didn’t know you guys could dance”
Couldn’t have done it without Andrea!
Andrea was great! She helped choreograph a first dance for my husband and me who have no experience dancing. She made the experience fun and memorable.
Andrea was so professional and the process was so easy! Definitely eased lots of anxiety and highly recommend doing this!
I cannot recommend Andrea enough to anyone looking for dance lessons!! When we started, my now wife and I had no dancing experience whatsoever, flailing somewhat in rhythm at best. She worked with us, with our capabilities and our vision to, in just a few lessons, help us create something truly special! We impressed our friends and family and more importantly we surprised each other with our amazing first dance. We never imagined we would be able to express our love so elegantly through dance but Andrea made it all possible. She was patient, supportive and knowledgeable throughout all our lessons. From the bottom of our hearts thank you Andrea!! We would love to come back and learn other dance styles from you in the future! Thank you thank you!
Andrea is amazing! She worked with us on exactly what she wanted. We loved working with her and would recommend to anyone.
We really enjoyed a date night of having Andrea teach us multiple things before our wedding. It was very helpful for us to feel comfortable. We left feeling way more knowledgeable!
Finding Andrea to help us get ready for the big day was amazing! She was calm and patient with two non dancers and had us feeling comfortable for our big debut on our wedding night. Thanks for making it easy and being so great to work with!
Andrea, she is amazing!!! I love her!! She helped my husband and is first dance and made it so perfect. She made my dads and Is dance perfect!!! It was such a joy and pleasure to work with her!!
Andrea is the best! My husband and I have zero dancing skills and wanted to feel more comfortable dancing in front of our wedding guests on our big day. We discovered Andrea and are SO glad that we did. In 4 short weeks, Andrea had us looking like we were regular ballroom dancers! She is a wonderful teacher and will help you improve your skills along the way. By our wedding day we felt SO much for comfortable knowing exactly what we were doing out there. Thank you for making us look good Andrea!
Andrea was wonderful! She was very practical about how choreographed our dance would be and gave us some key moves to use throughout the dance. She also edited our song so we could finish at the perfect time.
Our first dance ended up being one of my favorite parts of the day - it was so fun to do a little more than just the classic sway out there! Highly recommend, it was a fun part of the planning process we got to experience together. Thank you!!
Andrea is the best dance teacher and her lessons were hands down our favorite part of planning our wedding! She helped us achieve exactly what we pictured for our first dance and she is so patient and attentive to details. We got so many compliments on our dance at the wedding and it was a very special memory for both of us! My husband and I both had so much fun during our lessons and now we have a fun new activity to enjoy together for years to come! We highly recommend Andrea to any couples looking for some new moves for their wedding!
Andrea worked with my husband and I on our first dance for our wedding. We met a year in advanced to the date because we wanted something fun and surprising, but we are novices at best. She took our suggestions and ran with them incorporating several different styles including ballroom, swing, and contemporary. She helped perfect our techniques along the way and was very accommodating with our schedules. She even met with us at our venue to practice to figure out the logistics of where to stand and face. Our dance was a hit and the guests loved it. Thank you Andrea!
Andrea was great! Both me and my husband have two left feet, but she gave us the confidence to actually enjoy our first dance. We danced to a punk rock song and she choreographed the perfect moves to go along with it!
Booking Wedding Dance Houston was one of the best decisions we made while wedding planning. It was such a great source of fun and stress relief amongst the chaos of the final weeks leading up to our big day. Andrea was amazing to work with. She had such patience teaching us and gave us all the help and advice we needed to practice on our own. We told her we wanted a dance with all the lifts and tricks and she delivered. All of our guests loved the dance (some even cried) and we regularly watch our dance video for fun. Wedding costs add up crazily fast, but this was so worth spending the money on. We could not recommend Andrea and Wedding Dance Houston more!
Andrea was so patient with us, as we were complete beginners when it came to couples dancing. But in the span of a few lessons, we learned many new moves and gained our footing and confidence. She also gave us new ideas and made adjustments to our choreography to fit our comfort levels. Our first dance went great thanks to Andrea’s wonderful instruction!
Andrea did a wonderful job preparing us for the father-daughter dance and also the first dance of the newlyweds
Andrea was so amazing! She was accommodating of our busy schedules and was so creative in session. We were able to do such a fun dance that all of our families enjoyed watching, and we were impressed with ourselves in being able to do it perfectly! She is such a talented teacher, and I highly recommend her!
Because of Andrea, we went from a couple with four left feet, to confident and competent country dancers! We nailed our first dance and had a blast on the dance floor at our wedding. Andrea is very professional and makes learning to dance both fun and efficient. Every lesson was super helpful. We are recommending her to all of our friends!
I contacted Andrea about a month before our wedding just hoping she could squeeze us in. We had two one-hour private lessons with her. We live almost two hours away, and it was well worth the drive!!! She helped choreograph our dance but also just improved our confidence on the dance floor. Highly recommended her & Wedding Dance Houston.
Andrea was fantastic.
Andrea was so helpful with our first dance and my father/daughter dance. She helped pick out a song, practiced different steps with us, and we had a great performance at our wedding. Would definitely use her again!
Andrea choreographed a dance for my First Dance at my wedding. Andrea came up with the entire plan based off our song. In 4, 1-hour sessions, we were able to master the dance. We requested some "flashy moves" and Andrea was able to find some moves in her arsenal that fit our skill level as we were brand new to dancing. Andrea helped us with everything from the little to hand gestures to the song queues that triggered a dance move. Her pricing is affordable and her attitude is outstanding.
We really enjoyed working with Andrea! She helped us pick out a song that worked for us, and she helped us out with the basics because we had no idea what to do or how to do it! We had fun and Andrea made it fun for us! We would definitely recommend to other couples whether they need to start or already know how to dance!
After rescheduling our wedding three times, we felt SO LUCKY to work with Andrea from Wedding Dance Houston. We didn’t have a “traditional” first dance song and Andrea was thrilled to help choreograph certain parts / teach us dance moves/steps to keep the dancing upbeat, festive, and fun. Andrea was kind, empathetic, and flexible with schedules so we could find something that worked for all of us. Everyone LOVED our first dance at the wedding and it got everyone to the dance floor. Highly recommend!
Andrea was an incredible instructor and VERY patient! She was always in a great mood, helpful and made the process of learning our wedding dance fun and not stressful. I always appreciated that she would send us home with a write up of all the steps with the associated lyrics, as well as a video of everything from that session so we could practice at home. My wife and I were very pleased every step of the way (pun intended?)
Amazing instructor!!! She worked with us on the style, the song and our results were perfect.
Our experience was complete beginners but with 3 sessions we could do a whole song and it was perfect. I completely recommend regardless of experience ! She has a lot of patience, price is fair and a lot of experience.
We used Andrea for the first dance at our wedding and she did amazing job. She choreographed our entire dance with a range of dance options (depending on skill level and our progress) and choreographed it in way that while the dance varied, it was still easy to remember.
Every lesson, Andrea showed up prepared and with custom material to maximize the time together. Andrea will also come to your home to do the lessons and this make things so much more convenient.
With 5 lessons and some practice, we ended up with an amazing first dance that receive many compliments during the wedding.
Andrea was everything we could have hoped for and more! She was able to take the song we wanted and make it perfect for our wedding dance. She was very creative and thoughtful in helping us design a dance that fit perfectly and timely. We were on a time crunch and she was able to work with our schedule to make sure we were ready for our big day. We will recommend Wedding Dance Houston to anyone that needs dance lessons for their wedding. Thank you so much Andrea for making our dance so special!
Andrea is an absolutely amazing and patient dance instructor!! My husband and I had two left feet, and she was able to come up with three unique dance routines for the father daughter dance, mother son dance, and our first dance. We had an absolute blast working with her, and I would definitely recommend reaching out to Andrea if you are in need of lessons for ANY occasion!
Andrea is incredible!! She taught us our dance in just three sessions, but everyone thought we'd been practicing for months!! She was amazing at finding our strengths to make the dance flow smoothly.
Andrea was awesome! Neither me or my wife had any dance experience and Andrea was able to create a unique routine for us to our selected first dance song that we were able to learn in 6 lessons. I would highly recommend her to anyone!
Catherine was wonderful! My wife and I only took a few lessons but felt really comfortable for our first dance. Highly recommend
Highly recommend Catherine! We started prior to corona and finished our lessons when everything opened up a little more. Catherine picked up right where we left off and we ended up with something very memorable!
Catherine did amazing! During Covid she had very clean and safe practices and still created a wonderful dance! We were able to take lessons outside at our house and she really helped make our day! With all the setbacks during Covid and planning a wedding, the dancing was our favorite part!
Their dance was the highlight of the reception!
Catherine has been nothing short of amazing so far. I literally started saying I feel as though people think I'm having a seizure when "dancing", I am terrified of it & as a result I do not & will not dance. And then came my baby girl's wedding & I simply could not let her down. Being highly skilled @ dance is great but the gift of effectively, teaching & encouraging, the ability to listen, the ability to customize on the fly with great patience & obvious caring all while making it fun is in my view rather exceptional. My wife & I will be continuing lessons with Catherine once we make it by the wedding in T-6 & counting & my daughter was impressed & is feeling good about us having a solid Dad-Daughter dance. Thank you, Catherine & wish me luck :-)
The only thing my husband and I were worried about when planning our wedding was the first dance. Thanks to Andrea not only did we kill it but we had a blast. She made it so easy and was so patient with us. She had a flexible schedule and even came to our house! Some of our favorite pictures are from the first dance. No one should go anywhere else--that's crazy!
Andrea was amazing to work with! She really takes the time to learn what your vision is for your first dance and then bring it to life! We had so many people come up to us at the end of our wedding saying it was the best first dance they had ever seen! We had a blast working with her. She's a 10/10!!!!
Our wedding planner VERY highly recommended Catherine to choreograph our first dance (when we asked for a recommendation she said, knowing us and what we were looking for, to just talk to Catherine) and we could not have been more glad we did. Catherine was professional, flexible with timing, very reasonable price-wise, and most importantly, a bomb choreographer with amazing patience. I grew up dancing and my now-husband has good moves but had never even learned to two-step, and Catherine put together a piece that played to both our strenghts and made us both look fabulous. Our first dance song was pretty unique - it was an electronic song, since we met at a rave - and that didn't phase Catherine at all either: the dance fit the music perfectly but was still gorgeous and professional. Everybody LOVED it and months later we're still getting compliments on it and messages about it. Most of our friends said it was their favorite part of our wedding! We've also seen video of some of her other more traditional work and it's beautiful as well, so she can definitely adapt to any taste.
As for the patience part: as I'm sure a lot of you know, wedding planning is fun but extremely stressful, and sometimes my husband and I were at our worst.Catherine was such a calming influence and made something that could definitely have led to even more stress, especially since it's hard to laugh instead of cry sometimes when you mess up, so much fun and so so rewarding. Not only did we have a great dance, the process of learning it made our relationship even stronger. So thank you, Catherine and Wedding Dance Houston, for the great work y'all do. Having a custom-choreographed dance was 100% worth the price, and I'd recommend it to anybody of any skill level.
We came to Catherine with a specific song, big idea and high expectations for a first dance that showed drama and passion. She absolutely delivered! My (now) husband has always been a stunner on the dance floor despite lacking any formal lessons. Having no dance experience myself I wasn’t sure if I could keep up. Catherine helped us decide on the 10 lesson package and broke it down into reasonable parts for each session. She matched the steps to our abilities so we felt confident on the big day to deliver an amazing dance that was so fun to perform before our family and friends. She even traveled with us to GREECE and helped us rehearse at the venue for our big day! Highly recommend Catherine and Wedding Dance Houston!
Highly recommend Catherine with Wedding Dance Houston. We’re so impressed, with you, with ourselves, pulling off so much more than we imagined in our wedding waltz. From the initial phone call to final lesson (at our venue!) Catherine was supportive, an effective teacher even though we both were pure beginners. She also taught us and our parents father-daughter and mother-son dances to our chosen songs that didn’t overshadow but complimented our first dance. She’s flexible, studios are conveniently located, and well worth it.
Catherine was absolutely amazing! I knew the moment I called and explained what type of dance routine we wanted for our 15 year wedding anniversary and had questions/concerns, her expertise showed in her response. Each time we attended her classes, we had a great time and she always made sure we were comfortable with the routines. We were extremely pleased with the entire process and her packages are beyond reasonable for the amount of knowledge she has in various dance techniques! Thank you Catherine for making our wedding dance one to remember always!
I was recommended by several friends to take lessons with Catherine, and my husband and I absolutely loved learning from her! We were looking for something a little challenging as a first dance, and Catherine made it so easy for us to learn! We learned a partnership and a dance! It’s something we can really use for the rest of our lives, and we are going back to her to keep taking lessons after the wedding! The studio she uses is completely private (something many other studios don’t offer) and in a great location, and when we couldn’t get to the studio one day, she came to our house so we never missed a lesson! Thanks for a fun and memorable dance and so many great memories! You won’t go wrong choosing Wedding Dance Houston!
Catherine was so wonderful! My husband and I both are clumsy but the lessons were great fun and the final dance was something we could bother be proud of. I'm referring everyone to her!!
