Kyoko is such a joy to work with! My husband and I worked with her for private dance lessons, and then also had her choreograph our first dance for our wedding. She was incredibly patient with us, listened to our concerns, and created the most beautiful dance for us. We received so many compliments not just from our guests, but also the vendors and staff working the wedding, who had nothing but great things to say and said it was the best first dance they’d ever seen! We were so nervous but had practiced so many times that it just turned out perfectly when it came time to perform. Not only that, but Kyoko and one of her instructors also held a bachata lesson for our wedding guests and everyone had a blast! We are still receiving compliments on how much fun that was and how they’d never seen that at a wedding before. It got everyone up and on the dance floor and smiling and having fun. Thank you, Kyoko!

Kyoto was fantastic. We took lessons before my daughters wedding and Kyoto choreographed the bride/groom and father/daughter dance. During the lessons she made everyone feel at ease and worked with us to give us something we were very happy with. We also had a personal emergency which meant we had to reschedule. Kyoto dealt with it in a very professional manner and moved her other bookings around to accommodate us. I highly recommend her, she is a wonderful person.
