You Can Dance

o any couple looking to impress their guests on the dance floor during their first dance!

e of the Heart, complete with him ripping his shirt off. Matt put something together for us that caused all our guests to cheer endlessly after we were through. We couldn’t be happier with how it turned out! Only a couple of qualms. During one of our lessons, on a Saturday afternoon (granted, a very busy time at the studio), there were 2 other couples in the space practicing for a competition. It was really annoying that we had to share the dance floor with them, especially as we couldn’t play our song with our dance and do our crazy turns in fear of bumping into someone. We paid a big price for private lessons and expected that they’d be fully private. And, living in a small LA apartment, we didn’t have a private, large enough space to practice the dance outside of lessons. When we told Matt that we wanted to make sure the lessons were just us next time, he wasn’t apologetic or kind, but did respect the request. We also ended up using only 6 of the 10-class package. We can use the rest for date night, but I’m not very happy that I paid so much just to have lessons left over; I wish the studio had given us a better idea of how long it would take to learn the dance, and we could have bought lessons accordingly.

u with your first wedding dance.

I “like” to dance and we definitely didn’t want to be the center of attention (though there was no way out of that, short of foregoing the first dance). His choreography was the perfect combination of steps that we could do and be comfortable enough with and yet enough to get “oohs and aahs” from our guests. What he created for us really did allow us focus just on each other and made it very easy to not think about anyone around us while we danced. He has a great personality and is fun to be around, which meshed well with our personalities, and made the lessons fly by. We really enjoyed learning from him and are considering taking some other classes from him just for “fun”. We can’t thank him enough for being such an integral part of making our wedding memorable.
