We worked with Caitlin for our first dance for our wedding! We thought dance lessons would be a great way to do something fun together amidst wedding planning and we wanted to feel confident in our first dance. Caitlin choreographed our dance from start to finish and included fun little moments that brought out our song and personalities. She worked with us to create a dance we could execute well at our skill level :) our first dance went over so well and we had so much fun and felt confident hitting the dance floor! Caitlin is so fun and easy to work with and we loved getting to know her, would highly recommend! :) I

Caitlin was amazing to work with! She taught my husband and I a first dance that was simple to learn and offered entertainment for our guests. I'd recommend working with Caitlin to any couple who needs a few steps for their first dance.

We took online dance lessons to prepare for our first dance, and the experience was incredible! The lessons were easy to follow, even for beginners like us, and Caitlin was fantastic at breaking down each step. We were able to learn at our own pace and practice at home, which made the whole process stress-free. By the time our wedding day came, we felt confident and excited to perform. Our first dance was a huge hit, and we owe it all to these lessons. Highly recommend for anyone looking to make their special day even more memorable!

My sister-in-law suggested I take a video course to prepare for the first dance at my wedding, and I must say it was an absolutely fantastic experience. I can't thank Caitilin and her course enough: the lessons were not only fun but also very effective.
The key is to follow the lessons closely and let yourself be carried away by the rhythm of the music. The instructions are clear, the lessons are short and easy to follow, and the best part is that you can rewatch them as many times as needed, which was a huge advantage. Additionally, the course always provides helpful tips and variations that you can adapt to your style or the moment.
A tip for anyone getting ready for their big day? Enjoy every second and just let go: the fun and surprise in your guests' eyes will be unforgettable!
Thank you again, Caitilin, for making our first dance so special

We absolutely LOVED working with Caitlin on our first dance! We really looked forward to going to lessons, which always felt more like a date night than anything, and it ended up being one of our favorite parts of the wedding planning process. Her talent as a teacher is evident inasmuch as she managed to take a couple of ballroom dancing newbies and made us look like we had a clue, which was no small task! Her choreography was so fun, and she truly brought all of our first dance dreams to life. Caitlin was fun, encouraging, and supportive throughout the process. We laughed every week and also learned a ton, and we’ve been enjoying the ability to whip out our new moves at other weddings we’ve attended subsequently. :) We miss seeing her every week and couldn’t recommend her any more highly!

I am so grateful we found Caitlin’s services before our wedding day! She was so fun to work with and made us feel super comfortable. She was always very patient too - we wanted to learn a salsa dance, cut into a slower song (FYI she’s a salsa dancing champion). Caitlin made it so easy by breaking it down between our 5 lessons. The best part is the mental prep - she made us so comfortable and taught us many little tricks (like counting out loud and nudges to remember which moves were next). We crushed our choreographed first dance and it’s all because of Caitlin! Do not hesitate to book her for ANY dance lesson you need.

We had a wonderful experience working with Caitlin from Tulle Tuxedo! We hired her to help us choreograph our first dance and husband and wife, as well as the father daughter dance. We sought out a dance instructor to give us some polish and confidence to be able to feel relaxed and natural in front of our guests. Caitlin was great at helping us narrow down our song choice for each dance and she created a custom choreographed sequence for each dance! In our first dance, we had a fun, romantic finale moment with a big dip that made for a great memory (and photo op!) and in the father daughter dance we had so many fun twists and turns that was really entertaining and high energy. Caitlin made us all feel really comfortable and confident in the lessons even though none of us had much dance experience to speak of. She also gave us great advice on practicing and acquiring muscle memory for the big day. She was really attentive and professional! Highly recommend working with Tulle Tuxedo for any special wedding dances!

If you want a special, unique and exciting first dance for your wedding, you should definitely book lessons with Tulle Tuxedo! My husband and I wanted our first dance at our summer wedding in July to be fun and exciting and simply us! We booked lessons with Caitlin and she was just wonderful to learn from! Caitlin started us off with basic movements that we picked up right away and instantly made us feel comfortable. Both my husband and I were excited but also nervous to try and learn all of these new moves, but she broke down all of the dance moves and taught us in a way that we picked up the basics right away! We took several lessons with her from the end of April throughout the middle of June, and by the end of our lessons my husband and I were so proud of all the progress we made and it’s all thanks to Caitlin! We had so much fun with our first dance at our wedding! It was truly a moment we will never forget. We are so appreciative of Caitlin at Tulle Tuxedo! She is great to work with and really plays up your strengths and teaches you unique moves that will impress all your wedding guests! If you are looking for dance lessons, I highly recommend booking with Caitlin! You’ll be impressed at how easy and fun it is to learn your dance!

I went in search of dance lessons as a previous bride told me her favorite part about the wedding process was taking dance lessons. I was surprised by that answer at the time, but figured I should give it a try considering I really enjoy dancing. I also wanted to do more than just swaying for our first dance.
My husband and I learned the basic box step, dips, lifts and turns. Caitlin was accommodating with us as we wanted to accomplish a lot in a short amount of time.
For my father-daughter dance, I wanted to do something fun as it best describes our relationship! Caitlin came up with a routine for us and helped make adjustments so we felt confident for the big day! She went out of her way to practice with us when I gave her only a month to put the whole thing together. Many people said it was the best father daughter dance ever! Some even said that my dad stole the show, but I prefer to block that part out ;)
My husband and I both found our first dance to be our favorite part of the night! My husband is not the biggest fan of dancing so I was shocked when it was also the highlight of his night (besides marrying me of course).
We loved working with Caitlin as she made our lessons fun and made sure we did what we wanted to do for our first dances. She helped us perfect the moves and feel confident for our wedding day! I would highly recommend working with her!

We are both SO happy we took dance lessons and that YOU were our instructor. Having a choreographed first dance created such a great moment for our wedding day that we'll always remember. You awakened a new interest that we will continue to enjoy together, and you gave us a life skill that we'll use in future events and at home.
We even had some outdoor dancing shots while the snow was falling. And, we used a dip and kiss MANY times throughout the day (e.g., after the ceremony, grand entrance, private couple photos, etc). Thank you for teaching us how to do it safely and elegantly.

We had the BEST experience working with Caitlin!! What started off as a fun pre-wedding activity to do with my now-husband turned into a fun activity for me to do with my dad as well. Prior to our wedding, I knew I wanted to seek some help to make sure our dance stood out. I wanted to add a little something extra to our big day! My husband and I had 5 lessons with Caitlin and I had an additional 3 with my dad. Caitlin helped grow our confidence with each lesson and ultimately, reminded us to not take it too seriously and have fun with it!! My husband, dad and I are not necessarily the most talented or natural when it comes to dancing…but her patience and excitement each lesson always left us wanting more and excited for our next lesson. Caitlin is incredibly gifted, it was so much fun to see how her mind works as she pieced together our first dance. If not for wedding prep, I would even recommend a lesson with her as a fun date night activity or bonding experience with you and a loved one. Caitlin, thank you so much for taking us under your wing and helping make our day even more special. I’d like to think we left a pretty good impression on our guests too ;) all thanks to you!!!!

Friends of mine took lessons from Tulle Tuxedo and I can tell you the amazing transformation these couples have had! My friends were super nervous to start but by their first lesson they felt at ease. I highly recommend Tulle Tuxedo if you're a beginner and want to look and feel confident at your wedding!

We used Tulle Tuxedo to help us choreograph our first dance and they were fantastic. We had one-on-one lessons with our instructor (Dana Vonn who was so much fun to work with). Our First Dance ended up being one of the major highlights of the night. We got a ton of compliments and felt way more confident than we would have just going into it on our own without all the prep.
Dana worked with us to choreograph a dance that fit our skill level and confidence levels (total beginners) and still looked stunning. Beyond that, it was just a fun thing for us to look forward to every week. It was a great break from the chaos of wedding planning to get out, move a little, and have a little fun with your fiancée before the big day!
We did 10 lessons, but that's on the more frequent end (we were having fun). They were very willing to work with us, our timeline, and our budget. We really appreciated how much flexibility they had in the schedule. And if we had done only a few lessons instead, they would have made sure we still came out of it with a dance we felt confident with and looked great doing!

We discovered Tulle Tuxedo through The Knot. My now husband and I were looking to take some dance classes to prepare for our first dance as husband and wife at our wedding. We took 5 lessons with Jennifer to help prepare us for our big day! At the end of our fifth lesson, my husband and I felt more confident and prepared for our first dance. Our guests were really surprised by our first dance and complimented us on how good we looked! I would highly recommend working with Tulle Tuxedo, especially soon-to-be newlyweds! My only critique would be that I wish they had a private studio or room instead of sharing a space with others. Other than that, we had a wonderful experience! Both Caitlin and Jennifer were friendly and professional.

Caitlin was an incredible dance teacher as we geared up for our wedding dance! For two people who are a bit awkward and uncoordinated on the dance floor she helped ease our anxiety about learning how to dance and then made each class fun with her wonderful analogies and sense of humor. She helped us as we navigated picking a song and then tailored the dance moves to us and how we moved together. Dance practice on our own in between lessons became part of date night and brought a deeper sense of infamant and connection. Everyone was so impressed at our wedding with our dance, how well we flowed and our awesome choreography. I even heard there were people crying, now that exceeded our expectations! We couldn’t recommend Caitlin and Tule Tuxedo enough.

Caitlin is very talented and was instantly able to come up with the perfect dance for our wedding song given that neither of us had any dancing experience. Caitlin was also very accommodating when we had to postpone our wedding and didn't skip a beat when we had a year between our first and second lessons. Wedding planning during Covid was stressful but our wedding lessons were definitely one of the most enjoyable parts. It felt more like date night than work! We highly recommend using Caitlin for wedding choreography!

If you didn't know how to dance, Caitlin will make you feel confident enough on your wedding day as if you have been dancing your whole life. Not only were the practices fun and engaging, our guests loved seeing us dance so 'expertly'. I'm so glad we added this addition to our wedding. Throughout the stress of planning, weekly lessons helped remind us our wedding was going to be fun and so worth it. During the day of, it's also a good way to have some one on one time that you might not get throughout the night. 11/10 recommend.

Tulle Tuxedo Wedding Dance was a great find for my husband at I! We wanted to learn a special dance for our first dance together at our wedding instead of the usual slow dance. Caitlin was amazing she worked with us to create a beauty and the beast waltz inspired dance to go with our song. Caitlin was extremely helpful in teaching us! My husband and I had no prior dance experience but by the end of our lessons we felt awesome about our new moves! It was a lot of fun and we would use Tulle Tuxedo again!

Don’t go somewhere else, go here. My husband and I had never danced before, and we couldn’t have felt anymore comfortable with Caitlin within 5 min of our time together. This chick knows her stuff, and knows how to teach an entire wedding dance routine in a HOT MINUTE. She timed out everything perfectly for us, gave us tips for making sure the photographer got the PERFECT photos, and most importantly was just the nicest person ever and so easy to learn from. She also has two different studio locations for your convenience - one at her beautiful home overlooking the lake and a professional studio in Edina. We went to her house and it honestly felt like being at a friend’s who just so happened to teach dance.
I could go on, but I have many thank you cards to write. 🤣

We cannot recommend Caitlin enough! There is a reason she is rated #1! Caitlin was absolutely fantastic in helping us choreograph our first dance. We just couldn't picture ourselves doing a slow dance to a serious love song in front of all our family and friends, and hoped we could someone who could help us show our personalities! Caitlin understood exactly what we were looking for while making sure we had "picture perfect" moments. Our guests couldn't stop talking about our dance afterwards. It was definitely a highlight of the night. We had so much fun and miss our weekly lessons with Caitlin. Side note: It is fun to have some creative release during the really stressful planning times. I highly recommend Tulle Tuxedo. Thank you for all of your hard work, Caitlin!

Caitlin was simply amazing to work with and has an unbelievable talent that she shares with you when teaching you that "special dance". My daughter and I chose Tulle Tuxedo Wedding Dance to choreograph and teach us a father/daughter dance and the results were nothing short of perfect. Patient and creative would best describe Caitlin we finished our dance to cheers and tears. If you want to create a special moment for you and your dad or your husband I would highly recommend Caitlin and Tulle Tuxedo Wedding Dance.

Caitlin is the SWEETEST human being on this earth and so very patient. I knew I wanted a choreographed first dance and Caitlin was the first person I thought of to help us achieve those dancing skills. I’m an okay dancer, my husband however, has two left feet. Caitlin was so patient during our lessons and helped us feel confident in our dancing capabilities. Going from having absolutely no idea how to dance with each other to having a whole choreographed dance in 4 lessons was amazing! She is truly gifted in her dancing and teaching abilities! Our guests were amazed and enjoyed watching our first dance. Not only was it a hit at our wedding, now we know how to dance with each other! We can go to any event with dancing and hit the dance floor feeling confident. I can’t recommend Caitlin enough!

Althought we had a mishap with our DJ with our first dance song, we were able to move things around and still have fun dancing together!

Tulle Tuxedo surpassed my and my fiancé’s expectations in so many ways! Caitlin was genuine in learning about Jake and my relationship. Her knowledge about each of our personalities helped in instilling a confidence in the both of us, despite our lack of dancing expertise. She guided us through each of our four sessions, truly specializing our dance to US.
There are truly not enough words to say how thankful Jake and myself are to have chosen Caitlin with Tulle Tuxedo — She made our first dance a highlight of our day, which we will undoubtedly be remembered forever!
If we could choose again, we would choose Caitlin, without an ounce of hesitation! Xo

Caitlin is AMAZING! My now-husband does not like dancing, and rhythm is not his strong suit, and I'm okay but nothing special in the dance department. We initially signed up for 8 lessons, and ended up adding two more (not because we needed it - she gave us all the right tools - I was just anxious and wanted to feel super prepared). Something important to note: my parents took general dance lessons, too, at a different place and had multiple instructors over time. With Tulle Tuxedo Wedding Dance, you're always with Caitlin, and I think it made a HUGE difference because she got to know us and our strengths/growth areas well and was better able to help us improve as a result. We had fun and she made us feel so comfortable. She also added in elements that made our dance look really impressive on their own, but especially when you consider our modest skill level. I also appreciated how she made us feel great about the dance, but was able to give me more constructive feedback to make it even better when I asked for it. I probably forgot to do all the little things she recommended to make it look even more polished, but I felt really confident going into the dance thanks to that advice. She was such a great teacher, and I am so glad we found her.

Caitlin was an absolute gem to work with. My husband and I are NOT dancers, and she did an amazing job planning a simple routine that was perfect for our first dance song and helping to get us comfortable with all of the steps in our short time together. She was very patient working through all of our awkward missteps, kept each lesson fun and laid back, and taught us all the right tools to eliminate our fears about dancing in front of a crowd on our big day. Would absolutely recommend working with her. Thanks Caitlin!!!

My husband and I decided to do the small wedding package because we wanted to do more than “rock back and forth” and it was absolutely perfect. Caitlin worked with us to make us feel comfortable, and show us that you don’t always need the spins and lifts to make your dance special and beautiful.

Caitlin was so much fun to work with throughout the whole process. She is such a kind person and we were so happy we decided to use her! She was always communicative, patient and listened to our requests. Everyone loved our first dance (we did a slow dance and bachata) and it was so much fun to practice and be a part of. We plan to use her in the future for more dance lessons! So happy we found her.

My fiancé and I had always talked about taking dance lessons and what better excuse than for our wedding! After looking up multiple places and reviews, Caitlin stood out to me for having amazing reviews from other couples - which were all accurate! We did four lessons with Caitlin learning to do more than rocking back and forth for our first dance. As all you brides out there know, wedding planning is stressful! This was one thing that we got to do together for the wedding that was so enjoyable and not stressful at all! Caitlin put together the perfect routine for our first dance song with a dip at the end! If you want to have fun, laugh and learn some great dance moves I would highly recommend working with Caitlin!

We are now confident that our first dance will not only not be boring but will be special, comfortable, and memorable. She is so friendly and personable and was an absolute joy to work with. We are so grateful to have learned from her!

If you are looking for a first dance wedding instructor with relaxed feel yet a personalized approach with high attention to detail who will actually make you want to dance every night, then Caitlin is your woman!
We chose Kaitlin to help us dance the rumba to Endless Love by Lionel Richie and Diana Ross.
In four lessons, Caitlin gradually built our confidence. Lesson 1 was to assess our skills and teach the primary components of the rumba. Lesson 2 prepared our entrance and opening. Lesson 3, we worked on our closing sequence with the must-have final dip. In Lesson 4, Caitlin assessed our progress and helped add the finishing touches to our body position, hand position, and general flow. She worked with both partners to demonstrate the best approach.
We highly recommend Caitlin for several reasons.
She understands dance, musicality, and what it feels like to be a beginner, even though she is an expert.
She thinks about your dance even when you're not with her in the studio, bringing new ideas each session and building on them.
She makes you feel good about your progress, while also reducing the tension of inevitable embarrassment that new dancers like us naturally feel. Mistakes are gonna happen and that's okay!
And of course, and arguably most important, Caitlin always had a smile on her face and asked us about our wedding day and how we were feeling about the process of the dance and how it fit into our overall vision.
As we've already said, we highly recommend Caitlin. I'm confident she can do more elaborate choreography too (if you're looking for that), and she brought us to a great place in our dance such that we can add our own creativity to it and not feel stressed about it at all leading into the wedding day! We are having fun doing one practice per night (great suggestion!) in preparation for our big day.
Amazing work, Caitlin!
Best, Liz & Erik

Tulle Tuxedo helped make our wedding dance dreams a reality! Caitlin, our instructor, was amazing! My fiancé and I had no dance background but she made us feel so at ease and was a phenomenal teacher. She helped us portray our love through a song! She was so flexible with dates and times and was a joy to be around! We highly recommend Caitlin and Tulle Tuxedo for your wedding dance!

Caitlin was so much fun to work with and really made us feel comfortable from the beginning! She was patient with us since neither my fiancé or I had much dance experience, and she made everything easy to understand and even practiced the moves with us so we could get them down just right! We got to practice our customized dance to our song many times, and now we can’t wait to to show it off to everyone at our wedding! I will recommend Caitlin to everyone I know that is getting married, she is awesome and super knowledgeable about what style of dance will work with your song, and what is possible for your individual skill level. She’s the best!

We really wanted to entertain our guests for our wedding dance so we sought out lessons and chose Tulle Tuxedo because of the great reviews. We did two lessons leading right up to wedding and even though we were last minute, Caitlin was accommodating! Originally I thought one lesson would be enough, but after the first lesson - it was clear we needed more time to make the dance feel comfortable. We are so happy that we took lessons from Caitlin for our first dance because now we have something exciting to show our guests!! Caitlin is great - she took the time to make our dance look natural and not so choreographed, we had a great time!

We wanted dance lessons because we were nervous about our first dance. We didn’t want to just sway back and forth for our dance and wanted to learn the basics. Tulle Tuxedo had excellent reviews, was reasonably priced and we liked the idea of the wedding package - We chose to have two classes to review before the wedding. We learned basics for our dance and then personalized it for our wedding to prepare for our day. Our dance turned out amazing! We are now confident for our wedding day- not going to lie, we were almost dreading our first dance but Caitlin made it easy and now we are prepared for our dance! Caitlin was great. So easy going, able to personalize the dance for what we wanted for our day. I will recommend her to anyone looking for dance classes!! Thank you Caitlin!

If we could give Caitlin 10 stars, we would! She was so fun to work with and really made learning our first dance something we enjoyed doing. Caitlin created a dance that we are so excited to share with our friends and family at the wedding and really cared about what we wanted, felt comfortable doing, and pictured our first dance being like! We took several classes with Arthur Murray Dance Studio previously and were so relieved when we found Caitlin, she was a much better fit for us! Highly recommend!

We decided to take dance lessons to add a more refined look to our day. We chose Tulle Tuxedo because we read the knot reviews and loved the vibe we got from Caitlin! For our lessons we learned a formal slow dance and a fun party dance to surprise our guests. Because of our lessons, we gained confidence and had a fun couple of hours with one another before the big day. She made the dance easy and put us at ease. We loved working with Caitlin because she is extremely knowledgeable, fun, and does a wonderful job personalizing the dance routines!

My fiance, Kayla, and I wanted to look like we knew what we were doing for our First Dance at our wedding. We wanted to WOW our guests. We also wanted to make it fun and member-able through the whole process. We chose Caitlin through research, she also had a very good track record along with coming highly recommended through family and friends. Caitlin helped us create an elegant First Wedding Dance and also helped create Kayla's Father/Daughter dance that turned out perfectly as well. Caitlin was very personable along with having A LOT of patience. We looked forward to our lessons and how to perfect our First Dance to one of our favorite songs. Everything turned out great and we would recommend Caitlin to anyone who is needing dance lessons for their First Dance at their wedding.

My fiance, Tyler, and I chose to take wedding dance lessons so we could shock and surprise our guests with a unique and choreographed 1st dance. We also have always wanted to take dance lessons and thought this was the perfect opportunity to go for it. We chose Caitlin because her reviews were all very positive and she completely fit the bill! Caitlin met us for 4 sessions to create our 1st dance to our chosen song. We typically reviewed what she taught us the past session and then we added on to it. The last session we put the whole dance together and she videotaped it for us to practice before the big day. We did not want a traditional 1st dance and our song was very unique. Caitlin did a great job choreographing a very special, fun and unique 1st dance that fit our style without intimidating us with super hard moves. We are getting married in less than a month and feel very prepared and comfortable performing our 1st dance with the guidance Caitlin gave us. We always had such a fun time meeting with her and learning new moves. Highly recommend her if you are looking for dance lessons before your wedding!

My fiancée and I had a wonderful time working with Caitlin. Dance lessons were out of our comfort zone, but she made the experience fun and enjoyable. Caitlin is an amazing dancer, yet she was able to make even a novice feel comfortable!

My fiancé and I were looking for first dance lessons that would allow our dance to look choreographed and fun, but still show our own personalities. Tulle Tuxedo Wedding Dance let us do just that! Caitlin helped us find a dance that was perfectly in keeping with our personalities and wedding. She designed something simple, but still fun and with some flair. Caitlin was super helpful in giving us pointers and personalizing the dance to our wishes. She is a great teacher and we are so glad we went with her! We would recommend her to anyone!

My husband and I are so glad that we went with Caitlin at Tulle Tuxedo for our wedding dance lessons. We didn't want to have some boring and awkward first dance so dance lessons was the right choice. We chose Caitlin because she already had great reviews and she was reasonably priced. We chose to go with the 4 lesson package which was the perfect amount. Caitlin was so friendly and fun to work with! We also feel so much more comfortable and confident to dance our first time in front of our families. If we ever need dance lessons in the future, we will definitely go back.

The groom had never danced before and so we picked Caitlin to work with us. Her website showed she was a professional and focused on helping wedding couples specifically. We had two lessons, worked on the basics and the structure of the dance. My fiancee and I worked hard, really came together on this and its going to look great! Caitlin was professional, prompt, kind and prepared. We loved working with her!

Caitlyn, was absolutely amazing! I have zero dance history. But after a few lessons, I left feeling confident, excited, and ready. Our friends and family absolutely LOVED our choreographed dance. In fact, it's still something they rave about the most. And thanks to our classes with Caitlyn, we were able to bring something truly magical to life. She was patient, responsive with class/scheduling requests, she was knowledgable, and most importantly she was supportive and a ton of fun! We highly recommend her!

My husband and I had a WONDERFUL experience with Caitlin! When we arrived to our first lesson, Caitlin has already had the dance prepared for us to learn. We danced to George Strait "it just comes natural" and she made it so fun for us to show off to our guests! We had 4 private dance lessons - each time we completed a little but more of the dance and the final lesson we got to go over all the details. Caitlin was awesome - always friendly, willing to answer all of our questions, help guide us with each step and accommodating to our schedule needs! I would definitely recommend!

Wow! Where do I even begin? My husband and I knew we wanted to do a special dance for our first dance as husband and wife. We knew right away that Caitlin would be the perfect instructor! Before beginning, we were very nervous, but Caitlin ensured us that all we needed to do was let loose and have fun with it. We spent many hours perfecting the dance steps and Caitlin even took a video of us doing the dance so that we could practice at home. On our wedding day, the dance was probably the most memorable moments of the night. No one expected it and we even got a standing ovation from our guests. We can't recommend Caitlin more-she made our wedding night incredibly special and at that moment in the center of the dance floor, we felt like movie stars!!
