Marco is a phenomenal dance instructor! He's confidence is contagious and he puts you at ease right from the start. Few teachers are able to find the balance between confidence building praise and constructive feedback like Marco does. My fiancé and I decided on our song and general choreography one week before the wedding and he made sure we were well prepared! Highly recommended!

Marco was able to help craft a beautiful and elegant first dance for our wedding. Not only were his lessons streamlined and concise for us to learn quickly, but the choreography looked great from every angle on the dance floor!

MARCO IS AMAZING!!! He is such a talented choreographer and dancer who is so kind and patient! He has choreographed 5 different dances for three of our family weddings. Marco works with the various dancing abilities of each person and makes the couple shine! Plus, he comes to your home so the lessons are both private and convenient! I cannot recommend him enough! He also teaches dancelessons for a fun date night or group party! Marco is truly the BEST!

Marco was absolutely fantastic to work with!
He was patient, professional, and made the entire process of learning our wedding dance fun and enjoyable. He did a great job breaking everything down into steps that were easy to understand, while also helping us feel more comfortable and confident on the dance floor.
He was very responsive, flexible, and genuinely invested in helping us have a great experience. We went from feeling like we had no idea what we were doing to actually feeling confident and excited about our first dance.
I highly recommend Marco to anyone looking for a wedding dance coach. We couldn’t have asked for a better experience!

I had an amazing experience working with Marco to help choreograph my first dance and father daughter dance for my wedding. He is very attentive, versatile and professional. I wanted my dance to be simple rather than an elaborate routine and he did a great job tailoring the choreography to exactly what I had in mind.
We shared our music choices with him ahead of time and he came prepared to teach us a few moves that fit each song perfectly. He made the entire process comfortable and enjoyable. We felt much more confident going into the wedding day knowing how to do a few fun moves.
Although we personally wanted to keep our dances simple, he has the talent and expertise to create a fully choreographed routine for couples wanting something more elaborate. We couldn’t have been happier with our experience and highly recommend him!

FAQs
What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?
The costumer is responsible for any rented space at a local studio. Usually $10-$20.
I charge an additional fee for editing the couples’ music.
What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
I usually have a first lesson as a sort of assessment or consultation. This way the client and I can see what their goals are or vision for their dance is. I teach them the basics so they can get their feet wet and see if it would be a good fit. From there I work very closely with them on what they envisioned for their first dance together. I really invite them in on the choreographic process to make sure THEY are comfortable and doing what they want. I never just want to just slap on my steps if they aren’t comfortable with them. I am very patient and work diligently and slowly with my clients, so they really feel that they are learning and able to digest the material. I want them to feel like DANCERS.
What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
I have been dancing professionally for 12 years doing all kinds of dance, and teaching all kinds of ballroom for 6 years.
