The First Dance Place

Katie was amazing. She was very intentional in each class about designing the dance, and she made sure each part of the dance was perfected before we moved on to the next segment. She was very hands-on, sent us home with video recordings of our dance, and she even went the extra mile and trimmed our song perfectly… Read full review

We did the 8 lesson first dance package and could not have loved the experience more!! From the very first lesson, Katie listened to our dreams for our first dance and made us feel comfortable and confident. Throughout the lessons she taught us so many cool steps and made learning to dance approachable and fun - we… Read full review

Katie, as many others have said, is the best - she's super approachable and fun to work with. We weren't sure what to expect, but as far as reflecting on our wedding planning, our dance lessons were among our highlights. She's five stars across the board for good reason. While the initial cost seems somewhat costly,… Read full review

Katie is absolutely incredible! She was patient, understanding, and made sure to match our dance to the song we selected! (The World We Knew - Frank Sinatra). We would give her 10 stars if we could! Highly recommended if you're looking for a wedding dance instructor here in San Diego!

Katie was so great to work with! The lessons were fun and we got great feedback on our first dance. So glad we decided to do this.

We had the absolute best experience working with Katie for our wedding dance! We did her 8-lesson private package and it was perfect for us. From day one, she made us feel comfortable, confident, and genuinely excited to learn. Katie is incredibly friendly and just an all-around awesome person, we honestly never… Read full review

Katie is wonderful. She made us feel so comfortable as beginners, and we had a really fun and beautiful first dance at our wedding. We were thrilled, our families and friends were impressed. We would really love to go back just for a date night dance lesson!! If you’re on the fence, this is your sign. Go see Katie, have so much fun.

My wife and I worked with Kaite for several months to create a fully choreographed first dance for our wedding. Our semi weekly lessons quickly became the highlight of our week and something we always looked forward to. I now recommend this service to every newly engaged couple I meet. Whether you are lifelong… Read full review

Katie was awesome to work with for our wedding dance! She was easy going, positive, and understood right away the simple but elegant vibe we were aiming for with our dance. Would highly recommend doing this, added a little sparkle to our wedding night and we had a lot of fun in the process.

Katie was absolutely incredible helping my fiancé (now husband) make our perfect dance! She took into account everything we wanted to do but also making it easy enough for beginners to do without looking like we were trying too hard! So fun and easy to work with and she made a stunning dance for us for our wedding day <3

Katie at The First Dance Place was the best dance instructor ever! My now husband and I took two lessons with her and were so impressed by all we learned from her and how much fun we had while doing it. Katie has such a kind relaxed energy she made creating and learning the dance fun and easeful even though I was… Read full review

Katie is the best! My husband and I aren’t really dancers but Katie had the patience to teach us a manageable routine that we enjoyed learning. Would absolutely recommend.
