Windy City Wedding Dance

red with Amber, and we truly could not have been luckier. Amber was tough in the best way, thorough, encouraging, and most of all absolutely hilarious and so much fun to work with. She honestly became one of our favorite parts of wedding planning! She always checked in on us, taught us such a fun dance, and all of our guests were so impressed on the big day. She was truly the best, and we might even come back for lessons with her just for fun! We could not recommend Windy City Dance enough, especially if you get the chance to work with Amber!

itially, I didn't want to do a full 4 sessions, because I didn't feel like we needed that/didn't need anything fancy, but it was the perfect amount of lessons. She taught us in a way that fit our style, and she was so easy to work with. I will recommend her to ANYONE getting married!

ance styles. She was great at working with different styles, breaking down dances step by step, and working with my husband and me, who were beginners. She made sure each lesson was fun, and at the end, our dance turned out so well. Also appreciated her flexibiliy. My husband works in healthcare, and his schedule can be wonky. She was really flexible and understanding. Highly recommend the Chicago couples book here. You won't regret. We went to the location in the loop, so after our dance class, we would make a date night of it and go to dinner.

could not recommend them more!

reographed dance, and we were really happy with the results. Dance practices even became our favorite date nights in the months leading up to the wedding! We had so much fun working with her, and fully recommend the experience

t dance for our wedding. Like most couples, we wanted something special. Something that felt like us. We wanted our first dance to be memorable, meaningful, and (hopefully!) look at least somewhat coordinated. What we didn’t realize at the time was how much we’d end up looking forward to our lessons every week — and that’s 100% because of Amber. Amber was our dance instructor at Windy City Wedding Dance in the Loop, and from the very first lesson, we knew we were in incredible hands. She didn’t just teach us dance steps — she gave us confidence, helped us find joy in the process, and turned what could have been a stressful “to-do” item into one of the absolute highlights of our wedding planning journey. We’re endlessly grateful for her time, her patience, and her positivity. It’s not an exaggeration to say that our first dance wouldn’t have been half as special without her guidance. Amber — if you’re reading this, thank you from the bottom of our hearts. You crushed it. You made us feel comfortable, confident, and capable from day one. You took two non-dancers and turned us into a couple that couldn’t stop smiling every time we practiced. We’re going to miss you, but we’ll be forever grateful for everything you taught us and the joy you brought to this experience. To anyone considering lessons — don’t hesitate. Whether you’ve got two left feet or just want to elevate your first dance to something magical, Amber is the one you want by your side. We walked into Windy City Wedding Dance hoping to learn a routine. We walked out with so much more — confidence, laughter, memories, and a new love for dancing together. Thank you, Amber, for making it all happen. You’re the best! ❤️

She also choreographed the dance in a way that perfectly matched our styles and always made sure we were comfortable. We would absolutely recommend Amber & Windy City Dance!

ience amazing and fun. I'm glad I got outvoted and actually took these dance classes. It made my confidence go through the roof and I had a ton of fun dancing with my wife on our wedding day. If you have any reservations please just take a chance and try a class. I'm positive you will have a blast doing it!

ost beautiful first dance that felt uniquely ours. She was incredibly patient, using every minute of our time wisely, and her sharp wit kept us laughing and relaxed throughout each session. Amber’s teaching skills are top-notch—she has a way of making learning fun and accessible, even for beginners like us! We couldn't have asked for a better instructor or a more enjoyable experience.We even want to come back for other dance lessons in the future! Highly recommend Amber and Windy City Wedding Dance!

We would highly recommend Amber for anyone looking to have a fun experience putting together a dance for your big day.

hings clearly. She clearly has a lot of dance and teaching experience and served as a great instructor for my fiancé and I who had no prior dance experience. Her humor and quick wit made each lesson the most fun. Working with her and learning our dance was the highlight of our summer. She exceeded all expectations and we loved getting to know her!

onto the dance floor for our grand entrance, dips, etc! She was so always so helpful and made us feel at ease and as comfortable as possible when learning how to dance!! Thank you Jessica for everything!

work with and we are so happy with how our dance turned out! Cannot recommend Windy City enough for couples!

ior dance experience and we left feeling like we could compete. Dance nights quickly became our favorite date nights and we cannot thank Amber enough! This is the perfect place to learn a wedding dance and we couldn’t be happier!

Michigan Ave. location. She was great!! We started 5 weeks out from our wedding and did the introductory class plus six personalized lessons. It worked out great! We were able to learn our full dance (~90 sec) in 5 lessons which allowed the last lesson to be a mix of putting it all together and practicing the dip for exiting the isle. She was so friendly and welcoming to learn with. She was also GREAT at teaching dance moves to us, non dancers. Overall great experience and was the best part about the tail end of wedding planning. We used each lesson as an opportunity to go on a date during the home stretch of planning. We would highly recommend dance lessons and this studio is perfect for any couple of any skill or background!

and enjoyable! We cannot recommend Windy City Wedding Dance and Amber enough for any couples who are interested in a choreographed first dance!

elpful in tailoring the dance steps to our abilities, while still helping us choreograph a memorable and beautiful first dance. We are so grateful to WCWD for helping us pull off our first dance as a married couple, and would recommend them to everyone in Chicagoland!

~3 mins) which included elements of bachata, salsa, and rumba. It was a hit with our guests, and most importantly we will treasure the experience of learning and dancing together forever!! As beginners, we were not expecting to pull off fancy lifts and dips in our first dance, but with Vaneza’s patient and helpful coaching we felt really confident with our routine!! We enjoyed working with her so much that we plan to come back for un-choreographed dance lessons too!

tient with us as beginners and we were very comfortable in the lessons from the start! Would highly recommend the company and Amber for those looking for an introduction to dance or something simple planned for a special occasion!
