Coming from someone (husband) who is not what I consider to be a proficient dancer,
Vanessa crafted a routine that was simple yet elegant; I felt it accentuated my wife. She also provided valuable feedback to improve the flow of our routine and encouraged us to feel more comfortable with each other while we danced.
We’d definitely recommend her to someone looking for dance lessons/choreography and would reach out again.
Details: Two (ex. me and my partner) • First dance • Slow Dance • No, I do not have choreography in mind • No experience • At the pro’s location • My home, venue, etc.

We worked with Vanessa for 3 sessions and 2 routines—our entrance song and first dance. We were really impressed by how fast she came up with the routines on the spot based on our skill level and songs of choice. Our entrance song was a faster hip hop routine, while our first dance was a rumba. We had a lot of fun working with her and practicing the routines together. She was also very flexible with accommodating our schedule changes. Thank you Vanessa!
