From Nick M.
Fascinating Rhythm Dance School
Had an amazing experience with Marge working on our first dance for our wedding. We had four lessons at her house. From lesson one she helped put my now husband at ease as he learned how to foxtrot. Our wedding dance was a hit and the lessons were great!

Erin way exceeded our expectations for a Wedding Dance instructor. Scheduling was easy, the lessons were relaxed but focused, and she tailored our dance instruction and routine to our novice skill level. I would unconditionally recommend Erin if you're looking for a wedding dance instructor!

Belicia Tang
Working with Belicia for our wedding dance was amazing and so much fun. We did 5 lessons total, and one of the lessons was a quick Father-daughter dance session. She helped us coordinate a 2+ minute dance with cute moves and taught us step by step in a way that was easy to follow and understand.
We had a great time taking these dance lessons with her and would highly recommend this to any of our friends getting married!

Emily Coles Dance SF
We had Emily help us with our wedding dance. We took four hours of dance lessons. She taught us the nightclub two step and choreographed a start and end to our dance. I'd highly recommend Emily to any other couples. We had a lot of fun and felt very prepared and excited by the end of our lessons!

Erin is a fabulous dance instructor! She helped me learn a lot of basic partner dance moves for some weddings I had this month. They went really well, and I plan to continue taking lessons!

Steps to Love Wedding Dances
Erin gave us dance lessons for our wedding first dance. Even at the last minute, Erin was easy to communicate and schedule with. She managed our time efficiently and clarified anything she felt was unclear during the dance lessons. Erin had a great, friendly, upbeat attitude from beginning to end and made us feel comfortable quickly. Highly recommend!

Steps to Love Wedding Dances
My fiance and I signed up for dance lessons with Erin and we couldn't be happier. I started out with zero background in dance and after only a couple lessons my fiance and I have our first dance choreographed. I'm actually excited to dance at my wedding which is saying a lot. Erin is very friendly and makes you feel comfortable right away. I would highly recommend her!

Erin was phenomenal! We had 2 sessions with her to help prepare for the first dance for our wedding. She's a great teacher and we hope to return for more lessons in the future.

Steps to Love Wedding Dances
Erin is an incredible dance teacher. She was very warm and patient with me and my fiancé, especially considering we were both very new to dance. She choreographed a dance for us which was the perfect balance between “easy to learn” and “exciting to watch”. And she made the whole process very fun for us! I highly recommend Erin to any couple looking for wedding dance lessons!

Tais Zhukova
We worked with Tais for our wedding first dance, father-daughter dance, and mother-son dance. She is so professional, punctual, responsive, and a good listener as we were first-time dancers. She taught us all good moves and made us comfortable with all dances. We did well on our wedding day, and all credits go to Tais for her attention on the small stuff and working on our moves. Thank you to her, and I would suggest if someone wants to hire her or work with her for a dance lesson. I would say it is worth it.

Emily Coles Dance SF
Emily has been the absolute best instructor we could ask for! We’re both beginners learning a first dance for our wedding and she has been super patient and choreographed a dance that will photograph great. Our lessons are always fun and she is happy to adjust to what we want!
From Tara A.
Emily Coles Dance SF
My husband and I booked Emily to help us with a choreographed first dance for our wedding. We treated our private lessons as date nights and had SO MUCH fun!
Walking into our first lesson, Emily immediately made us feel extremely comfortable. She is amazing at teaching dance: professional, while also being super friendly and personable. We both have two left feet, so we were honestly shocked at how excited (and not nervous) we were to perform our first dance in front of our friends and family. We ended up doing 5 lessons (1 hr each) and were able to get our 3 minute dance down pat!
On the wedding day, so many of our guests loved our first dance! We will remember it forever. :) Thank you so much Emily!!!

Tais Zhukova
Tais truly brought the vision of our dance to life!!
We chose Tais over other well known wedding dance companies due to her ability to understand our vision and taking a unique approach to bring it to life, taking into account our base skill level, athleticism, and the energy we wanted to convey in our first dance.
Tais was always extremely professional and was flexible to work with our feedback to find the right moves for our dance.
In the end, the dance itself was incredible and the experience of learning a dance together is something my husband and I look back on as a highlight of the wedding. We look forward to working with Tais again in the future for dance lessons!

Jessica Maria Recinos Featuring Rising Rhythm
My (days to be) husband and I were fortunate enough to be able to work with Jessica to prepare for our first dance. Neither of us had any previous dance lesson experiences and were a bit nervous. Jessica made us feel so comfortable with each other and with her. We happy to say we are ready for the first dance!! With the wedding only days away, I can honestly say this was the best wedding prep money I've spent! We highly recommend Jessica :)
From Julie B.
Emily Coles Dance SF
She's an experienced teacher--warm, friendly and unintimidating. (Did I mention that she cracks jokes? It takes the edge off, which is a godsend for a nervous beginner like me.) She helped me work out dance moves for my wedding. Now I'm taking personal rumba lessons. I also enjoy Metronome, the dance studio where she teaches, which is in an old, Italian social club in Potrero. I recommend Emily for anyone who wants to take dance lessons, from salsa to ballroom.

Erin made my wife’s birthday very special with a surprise wedding dance lesson a week before the big day. She taught us the essential moves, including how to dip (which turned out amazing in our photos!). Her flexibility to make this happen on short notice with a tailored lesson to our song made the wedding so amazing. Thank you Erin!

Fascinating Rhythm Dance School
Marge was very sweet. She helped choreograph a few moves for our first dance at our wedding. We had to push her to stay on track since our budget only allowed for us to take 4 lessons.
From Duncan M.
Emily Coles Dance SF
Over the course of four lessons, Emily struck a great balance between teaching my fiancee and I some moves for our wedding first dance and practice / feedback. She's very easy to feel comfortable around, and did a great job of boosting our confidence. We get married in a week and can't wait for the dance!

We CAN'T recommend Timba Heat more for pre-wedding dance lessons. My now husband and I still talk about how doing the dance lessons and picking a fun, upbeat song was one of our favorite parts of wedding planning. We danced to Hooked on a Feeling and it's still one of my favorite wedding memories thanks to Hebert. Hebert not only made it fun and light for us non-dancers but he cut our music clips. He even incorporated a little lift in the dance which I never thought we could do. He also had so much patience when I did classes with my Dad, who can't keep a beat for the life of him. Our guests still talk about how fun our dance was not to mention we had so much fun practicing. I've already given his contact to all my engaged friends. Absolutely worth every penny!!

Nikolai Tarasov
Nikolai was incredible! We decided to take dance lessons just 2 weeks before our wedding, and had a tight time frame to work within. He was able to accommodate us right away but adjusting his normal schedule, and was a pleasure to work with. Nikolai gave us some helpful tips and pointers while we learned the dance, and then some "bonus" tips to make sure we looked elegant and graceful. On our wedding night, our guests complimented us over and over on how well the dance went. Thank you, Nikolai!

Naach by Nisha - Bollywood / Indian Dance
We booked Nisha for a couple months worth of lessons for a surprise first dance and Bollywood remix for our wedding reception. I cannot overstate how gamechanging her classes were, not just for our wedding but for our future. I was previously the person who never participated in any kind of dance, even garba! Now I am looking up dance studios and think this is going to be a part of how we participate in future activities together.
Nisha is an incredible teacher - she is patient and kind and easy to work with. But she's also demanding in the right ways and pushed us to go beyond our comfort zone to dance on another level. She taught us a traditional western style first dance segment and combined it with Bollywood fusion for our second and third segments. She even mixed the song for us in a way that impressed our DJ!
Our family and friends were completely blown away by our dance routine - couldn't have asked for a better result! Seriously, these are the best dance lessons you can find - Nisha is awesome!

Angelique Dance
My wife and I worked with Angela to design our wedding dance back for our wedding in April. We did about 5 or 6 lessons I think.
She took what we were looking for (something fun but not overly choreographed) and patiently introduced us to all of the moves we needed to learn. As some of us are less rhythmic, she was able to adjust the dance as we needed over time and gave us so so many tips for getting it right. She would take videos for us to review when we went home to practice, which was so helpful for me 😂
Most importantly, she made the lessons exceedingly fun for us and our wedding dance went amazingly. Got so many compliments from friends and family, and we can’t wait to watch our wedding video over and over again!
Thanks so much Angela!

WOW. What a special human and teacher Hebert is. We were so incredibly lucky to find Hebert a short week before our wedding for dance lessons + choreography. What originally started as sessions for just my dad and I, quickly turned into dance lessons/choreography for my husband/mom (mother/son dance), and my husband and I because of how amazing and fun Hebert is. Patient, kind, and talented Hebert took on the challenge to choreograph a 3-song dance for my Dad and I, a routine for my husband/mom, and my husband and I...a short week before my wedding. The dances were a huge success, but most importantly, we created the most special memories in the time we were practicing. We were often in tears of laughter/joy throughout the process. I will hang on to the memories my Dad + I made for my entire life. A huge, and heartfelt thank you to Hebert. I HIGHLY recommend him!
From Bryn M.
Emily Coles Dance SF
We absolutely loved our experience in working with Emily to choreograph our wedding dance! Between myself and my husband (who is 6'8"), Emily took on the challenge of helping coordinate a fluid dance where we were comfortable, happy and able to just have a great time! She took our concerns and any feedback to heart and helped ensure that by the end of our lessons we were confident for the big day. She was an absolute pleasure to work with and was worth every penny!

Tais Zhukova
My wife and I recently had the pleasure of taking wedding dance lessons with Tais, and I can confidently say that she is an outstanding instructor. Not only is she incredibly talented, but she also has a passion for teaching and a keen eye for detail.
Tais made learning our wedding dance to Etta James' "At Last" an absolute joy. Her patience, positivity, and encouragement made us feel comfortable and confident on the dance floor. She took the time to break down each step and movement, ensuring that we understood and executed them correctly.
What impressed me the most about Tais was her attention to detail. She noticed the little things that we were doing wrong and offered constructive feedback on how to improve. Her corrections were always delivered in a way that was helpful and motivating, never critical or discouraging.
Thanks to Tais, we were able to perform our first dance with grace and confidence. Her expertise and professionalism made the entire process enjoyable and stress-free. I would highly recommend Tais to anyone looking for a wedding dance instructor. She is a true gem and a credit to her profession.
