Without a doubt, dance lessons with Judi was the BEST decision we made during our wedding planning process! To start, finding a dance instructor for wedding first-dance lessons is intimidating and overwhelming, but Judi takes all the guess work... out of the equation. While many dance studios/ instructors will try to upsell you into increasingly expensive packages for a more "personalized" and better first dance, Judi was like a breath of fresh air with her straight forward package and reasonable pricing. Once you book with Judi by providing your deposit and song of choice, she sends you six simple but fabulous dance moves to learn with video clips as sort of "homework" to practice, so before your first lesson you can familiarize yourselves with the moves. Once we met with Judi for our first dance lesson, we practiced our 6 moves and added some new ones in as well. Over the next few lessons, Judi helped refine our dance moves and teach us an amazing custom made dance choreography to go with our first-dance song. She took videos of us during our dance lessons as references for practice later, as well as provided lyric copies of the music with notes on when we do what dance moves/ timing: this was incredibly helpful! Also, Judi comes to you for your private dance lessons, which was so nice and one less thing to worry about during hectic wedding planning.
Judi is an incredibly talented dance instructor. She is so kind, caring, thoughtful, professional, patient, fun, and has a great sense of humor. Throughout the entire process, Judi gave us so much encouragement and made us laugh. In total, we had 4 dance lessons with Judi and our lessons together was my absolute favorite part of the wedding planning process. She makes it so much fun! Our first dance was a hit and the entire wedding reception was cheering in excitement. I will cherish our first dance forever, because it was truly magical. Even after the wedding, we've had so many friends and family compliment us on our first dance and we give all the credit to our amazing instructor, Judi. <3
