Wedding Dance

Transform your love tale into a vibrant reality! I should be incapable of drawing a single stroke at the present moment.

Dance lessons for wedding choreography

Greg and Jacqueline taught me and my husband – two non-dancers – to do a pretty accurate representation of the Dirty Dancing final dance for our wedding! Not only did they teach it to us in weekly lessons, but they also put together the choreography by watching the film, which is quite tricky as it’s often cutting around!

Salsa Lessons

I have been taking salsa lessons here for about three months now and I could not ask for a more positive experience as a beginner. Each instructor is so kind and supportive while offering his or her own flare and expression to their lessons and I leave every class session feeling like a better dancer.
