Lenny was fantastic! My wife and I reached out to Lenny for our wedding dance.
We sent Lenny our song and he came up with a fantastic choreography and accounted for my mobility issues.
The dance was fantastic, Lenny was very patient with us (we had no dance skills at all). He explained everything very well and his communication was excellent.
I highly recommend Lenny for you next dance lesson!
Thanks Lenny

I love to teach dance! And I have a sentimental fondness for teaching wedding couples their ‘First Dance”. Before I’d turned 20, teaching couples for their wedding was my first professional dance instruction. It’s very satisfying to sense that feeling in a couple when the “light” comes on in their minds, and they first think “Hey, this is not really going to be as hard as I thought!” Yep. That’s when, during the first lesson, they genuinely feel that this is doable. I truly enjoy what I do--- and all my students tell me it shows. Come see it for yourself.”

e laughed often and ended up with a dance that felt like us and looked great for our wedding. The steps were easy to learn and he always gave us a video to practice with afterwards.
Lenny also gave my dad and I a single lesson for our dance which were two basic steps for our dance and they were the perfect base for us to use to improvise a few turns during our father daughter dance and made dancing to a fast song so much simpler!
Highly recommend Lenny for wedding lessons or even a date night for learning something new together.
Response from Wedding Dance Lessons By Lenny on 11/04/2025
Jes, so glad you and Brandon looked as good as I saw in the video. Thanks for sending it....
There should be a ton of good still shots from your dance. I was also honored to be a small part of your Father-Daughter non-traditional dance, and that looked good, too!
I love telling the back-story of your “unusual” Father-Daughter music…how that truck must have really been rockin for that little girl and her dad!
Congratulations to you all!

We look forward to hopefully taking more dance lessons with him in the future!

Lenny helped make our 50th wedding anniversary a night to remember. My husband surprised me by saying he wanted to learn to dance for our 50th anniversary party. We went to Lenny...
with limited experience, limited time frame, and some physical challenges. Lenny was completely professional. He was extremely sensitive to our abilities and to our opinions. After only 3 lessons, he guided us to doing a well-timed, loving routine that fit our music perfectly! Almost everyone at our party was in tears. We both feel like we couldn't have done it without Lenny's guidance. We highly recommend him!

Congratulations, you are now dancers! Don't wait for the next wedding or special event to...
dance! You now have those dance moves for the rest of your life. So I suggest you both plan a "date night" at least once a month, to dance together in your own living room! Keep fresh those dance moves you learned. I believe you will find that they get more and more comfortable for you both in your new "dancing partnership". Bless you both.

s to keep going even when we messed up, and celebrated with us when we completed the dance without any hiccups. He was able to map out where we were, and what might be the best moves for us. He did not make us feel uncomfortable or overwhelmed with complicated steps. It was such a nice experience, and we couldn't be more grateful for his guidance. Everyone at our wedding thought that we had been training for months before our wedding, even though, in reality, we had a pretty late start with our dance lessons. We would absolutely recommend Lenny for couples at any level of skill set!
