I had a lot of fun and my partner grew in his confidence with his skills. We’re both SO excited for our first dance at our wedding now. Can’t say enough about how great Nina was!!

We needed a few dancing lessons to prep for our first dance at our wedding and couldn’t have asked for a better experience. Jen was fun, easy to learn from, ran on time and super entertaining. We both had no prior experience dancing and felt super proud of the dance she helped us come up with. Couldn’t recommend this place enough!
We had the BEST experience with Dancing Dan at Dancing Together! He helped us choreograph our first dance for our wedding, and it turned out better than we could have imagined! Our guests absolutely loved our dance too, which made it even more special! Not only did Dan make the whole process fun and stress-free, but our dance lessons quickly became one of our favorite date night activities and such a nice break from the craziness of wedding planning. We genuinely looked forward to every lesson!
We also booked a lesson for each of our parents to help prepare for the mother-son and father-daughter dances, which was SO helpful! Our parents absolutely loved the experience, and it made those special moments even more memorable.
We loved our time with Dan so much that we’re already talking about coming back for more classes just for fun! We truly can’t recommend him enough, especially for couples preparing for their big day. It was hands down one of our favorite parts of wedding planning!

We gave Dan the song we wanted and every lesson he came in eager to work with us, enthusiastic, helpful and most importantly- you can tell he genuinely really cared about making sure the dance aligned with our personalities and would be perfect for the wedding. We were sad to have our last session but will be coming back again in the future for more lessons as fun date ideas. Every class was super fun, and he gave us the confidence we needed as he helped us learn every move.
Dan is the MAN. 🫶🏼

I'm so glad you enjoyed working with him. He really does try to make his first dance routines unique to each couple. I'll be sure to let him know how happy you were to work with him. And thanks for the great review!

Lauren- I’m so glad to hear you and Gavin enjoyed your lessons- Jen really is a gem.
I know the wedding was only a few days ago, but when you have a chance, we’d love to see how your first dance went. It’s always fun for us to see the final product :-)
Congratulations!

Jenn was our instructor and she was AMAZING!! She made the classes so fun and she would frequently ask our opinions regarding how we envisioned our first dance. She made us feel very comfortable and ensured we felt prepared for our first dance at our wedding. We would highly recommend her :)

Hi Tiffany!
Thank you so much for the kind words. Jen will be happy to hear you had so much fun in your dance lessons. Feeling comfortable and prepared for the first dance at your wedding is priceless, and I'm so glad that's how the two of you felt on your big day. If you have time to share the video, we'd love to see it!

My fiancé, Bridget, and I have been having a great time learning to dance for our wedding with Jill. She's done a great job choreographing and teaching us a first dance song and I feel like we're also learning some solid basics / general dance skills. Highly recommend for a wedding or fun date night/ couple activity.
Response from the owner · 7 months ago
Hi Andrew!
Thank you for such a lovely review. I'm glad you felt confident after working with Jill on your first dance choreography… and I have seen the proof! She shared your first dance video with me, and the two of you looked wonderful. Bravo! : )

We can’t thank Jen enough for choreographing our first dance! From our very first lesson, she made us feel so comfortable and confident, even though we had very little dance experience. She perfectly tailored the choreography to fit our song, personalities, and skill level, and somehow made it look natural and elegant. Every session was fun, encouraging, and full of laughter, which became one of our favorite parts of wedding prep. Jen prepped us for our wedding in about a month which is VERY hard to do considering most people come in several months before. Also, our song is four minutes which is longer than most first dances and we still made it happen in a month’s time!
If you’re looking for someone who’s talented, patient, and genuinely passionate about what they do, we couldn’t recommend Jen more highly.
