Giovanni was our first dance instructor for our wedding, and we could not have asked for anyone better! From the very first lesson, he made us feel comfortable, confident, and most importantly, he made it fun. His upbeat energy, patience, and expert instruction turned what could have been a stressful part of wedding prep into one of our favorite memories leading up to the big day.Giovanni was so easy to communicate and schedule with, and his enthusiasm (and charming Italian accent!) always had us smiling. We took five lessons at Studio M, which is a beautiful space with easy parking, and every session felt like a mix of progress and pure joy. We started treating dancelesson with him like our weekly date nights.Giovanni also had a privatelesson with my dad and I to choreograph our father-daughter dance. He was patient, and really understood the meaning and importance of this dance for us.We truly could not have had a better instructor. Giovanni made our experience so memorable and meaningful, and well cherish these moments forever. We are endlessly grateful for him and highly recommend him to anyone looking to make their first dance and the process leading up to it something special.

After reviewing a number of places offering dancelessons, we decided to go with Studio M for one reason: Giovanni!!Before we booked, we had a free consultation with him and he made sure to ask all the right questions to get a good feel of what we wanted to do for our wedding dance: what kind of music we liked, what our experience is, what kind of dress I was wearing, etc. He even offered to remix some songs together if we didn't have a single song in mind. He wanted to make sure that we were comfortable with whatever dance happened. He's also Italian and we're having our wedding in Italy, so it felt like fate to meet him!We ended up booking 10 lessons with Giovanni. After we decided on a song, within the first lesson, we already had a good 30 seconds choreographed. He was patient with us both, as neither of us had dance experience, and he really listened to us on what we were comfortable doing. He also shortened our song choice so that our first dance was within a reasonable timeframe. Within 4 lessons, our entire dance was choreographed! We spent the rest of the lessons perfecting, tweaking, and refining every possible moment! It really put us at ease for when we finally hit the dance floor.Another really awesome thing about Giovanni is that since he does a lot of weddings, he is always thinking about a number of things to make sure that the dance is beautiful, but also that the photos captured are perfect! He took a lot of videos for us so we can watch and practice at home. He also made sure to tell us when we'd have good "photo moments" where we should perfect our poses for the quick moment our photographer will have to snap a pic. And he even recommended sending a video to our photographer with recommendations on photo moments, so the photographer can get familiar with the dance ahead of time.In general, Giovanni is so kind, patient, and incredibly fun to be around and we cannot recommend him enough as a wedding dance instructor!!

We took five lessons for our wedding dance. Giovanni was AMAZING! We are beginner dancers and were able to learn a beautiful Bridgerton-inspired ballroom dance. Such a great experience and team, we could not recommend Giovanni more. He was amazing!

Perfect teachers. Positive and friendly atmosphere. New and clean interior. Sometime queue to enter and pay is too long/slow. Make sure you arrive 10 mins earlier to not miss a lesson beginning.
