About
I would love to choreograph and teach your bride/groom first dance, bride/father, groom/mother, or wedding party dance. I can choreograph and teach singles, couples, or group routines. I can choreograph and teach any special occasion dance/s or I can teach ballroom dance lessons even if you do not have a special occasion. My choreography is beautiful, whether it is simple and elegant or more detailed. Your lessons are private in a beautiful studio in Long Beach with no other students taking lessons at the same time. I will do home visits on some occasions, but mostly teach at the studio. I charge $65 for 1 hour or $80 for 1 1/2 hours which includes the choreography. The price is the same whether it’s 1 person or 20 people taking a lesson. I have a passion for teaching dance and for giving students superior dance lessons. I am very experienced, patient, and I really care about my students. I try to make you feel comfortable and relaxed and I aim to create YOUR vision of your perfect dance.

We loved working with Arianna! She is so kind and patient. She was flexible and adapted the dance to our skill level but also to the moves we were most interested in. We picked two different songs - one for me and my now-husband, and the other for me and my dad - and she crafted the choreography just for us. Also, the lessons are in a beautiful pilates studio on the water and there’s a lot to do nearby before/after your lesson if you want to make an afternoon of it. Ariannas prices were very fair -a great value for what you’d typically find in the area- and I can’t recommend Arianna enough.

I was really impressed with how well prepared Ariana was to teach me how to dance for my daughters upcoming wedding. She clearly took the time to really listen to the song ahead of time and had a whole routine planned for me before I arrived. Her encouragement throughout the lesson really helped me get over my nervousness. I left feeling so grateful and I really got my money's worth!

Ariana is amazing. She is sweet, patient, and attentive to her craft. She makes you feel comfortable. She is passionate in teaching others how to dance and simplifies every step of the way. She made this such a fun experience for me and my fiancé. I would love to return back to get more lessons from her because she was such a great instructor.

We loved learning our first dance with Arianna! She’s great at teaching beginners with no dance experience and her choreography is beautiful!

Arianna was absolutely incredible to work with!! She is a wonderful teacher for both experienced and new dancers! We loved learning from her and would recommend her to ANYONE who wants ballroom dancing classes. We are so excited for our first dance and Arianna made it happen.
