“We had the pleasure of working with Elaine on our first dance choreography, and we cannot emphasize enough how great of an experience it was!! She was welcoming, patient, and so helpful. My fiancé and I have never “formally” danced a day in our lives and Elaine made us feel so confident going into our wedding. We did a total of 5 lessons and are sad they’re over, it was a fun date activity. Highly recommend Elaine for her professionalism, creativity, and genuine kindness. Especially for lgbtq+ folks!”

“My fiancee and I took several private lessons with Elaine to prepare for the first dance at our wedding. Despite us (unintentionally) picking a tricky song, Elaine choreographed a beautiful Viennese Waltz that we fell in love with. Neither of us had any ballroom dance experience before, but Elaine did a great job adapting the routine to our relatively modest skill level. She explained all of the steps and moves clearly during the lessons and was able to provide increasingly detailed feedback as we improved. Most importantly, Elaine was extraordinarily friendly, professional, and supportive throughout the entire process. We could not have asked for a better teacher!”

“Elaine was so amazing to work with! Out of all the stress and planning that we needed to do for the wedding, we looked forward to each weekend that we had our lesson with Elaine. We had so much fun learning the choreography Elaine put together based on the song we chose and a video of a dance we found online. Neither of us are trained dancers so we didn't really know what to expect or how things were going to turn out. Everything turned out perfect. We took 5 lessons which, if you want to learn an entire song (roughly 4 mins), would highly recommend this package. Also considering how much fun we had, might have even added on an extra one or two for good luck (though our last lesson did end up being only 2 weeks before the big day!) We definitely blew our friends and family away which is always fun when you hear literal screaming as you try not to laugh and keep your eyes fixed on your partner as you prepare for the lift and spin to really knock em out of their chairs! You can't go wrong with Elaine - we're so happy with how our dance turned out and enjoyed the entire process from start to finish.”

"Elaine was a wonderful teacher and very patient. My wife and I felt comfortable with her and our dance turned out beautifully. She was able to help us throw in a couple of fun lifts, which we loved. Couldn’t have done it without Elaine’s help. Also, as a non binary person, she was great with pronouns :) would recommend to all, especially fellow queer couples!"

"We are so grateful to Elaine for being our dance instructor for our wedding! She made us feel completely at ease and turned what could have been a nerve-wracking experience into something fun and memorable. Thanks to her guidance, we felt confident and ready for our first dance, and it turned out beautifully. Elaine is patient, encouraging, and an absolute joy to work with—highly recommend her to anyone preparing for their big day!” We can’t thank you enough! ❤️"

"If you get the opportunity to work with Elaine for your wedding dance—do it! We are two very uncoordinated people with no dance experience at all. We wanted to have some sort of guidance for our dance since we chose a niche song with fast and slow parts. Elaine went above and beyond for us and choreographed our whole dance with us and worked with us to ensure we were comfortable with the moves. We only did 3 lessons but they were so helpful and it went so well on the actual day! We are so thankful for her patience and for helping us have fun with something that was initially stressful. Thank you Elaine!"

"My fiancé and I had an excellent experience working with Elaine. We contacted her with a somewhat unique song choice, connected over a brief Zoom call to discuss her approach and offerings, and immediately appreciated her professionalism, experience, and enthusiasm. Over 5 lessons, Elaine choreographed and taught us a fun and energetic 3-minute dance that we loved -- and, that was a hit at our wedding. Elaine was very accommodating of our schedules and availability, and actually held all 5 lessons at our house in our kitchen. She quickly got a sense of our style and experience level, and created a piece that challenged us to try new things, but still made us feel confident. Elaine was a pleasure to work with, welcomed our ideas and questions, and helped us create some amazing memories."

"I would absolutely recommend taking dance lessons with Elaine! My husband and I don’t have any dancing experience and were a bit nervous about our first dance at our wedding, which was in September 2024. We knew we wanted to do more than just sway but also didn’t want anything that felt overly choreographed, so we decided to take dance lessons to learn some simple but elegant moves. Elaine was quick to respond to our inquiry, scheduled an initial call with us to discuss our goals and song selection, and booked our first lesson soon after. We initially signed up for a single lesson with Elaine, but after our first session, we had enjoyed ourselves so much that we decided to take a couple more lessons. Throughout our three lessons, Elaine made us feel so comfortable and was patient as she essentially taught us a toolkit of moves that we could use throughout our dance. She was also very flexible and understanding when we wanted to make any adjustments or modifications to what she taught us. After lots of practice at home, we felt confident as we walked onto the dance floor at our wedding and were so happy with how our first dance went! Our guests applauded throughout and several of our family members couldn’t hold back their tears. With great credit to Elaine, our first dance felt truly like us and we are so grateful for everything she taught us. Thank you, Elaine!!"

"My fiancé and I had a great time working with Elaine for our wedding first dance. We were looking at other studios, but decided to go with a dedicated teacher and we are glad we did. Without having too much dance experience, she made us feel super comfortable. Every lesson built on the last and I loved how she made adjustments to our choreographed dance throughout. We picked the 3-pack of lessons and did a choreographed routine. She was really paying attention to our comfort level and our goals for taking dance lessons. I do not have enough positive things to say about Elaine, she is such a delight to work with!"
