Introduction
I am a dance instructor who specializes in wedding dance and social partnered dances (salsa, bachata, etc). I pride myself in offering a personalized experience. By booking with me, you gain the flexibility that is hard to find at franchise-style dance studios. I promise to work with you and your specific requests! See my business FAQ's section for detailed description of my process for working with each type of client, as well as a list of all dances I teach. A bit about me - I started dancing in Ukraine at the age of 5. Upon moving to the United States in 2014, I have been working with a wide range of clients here ever since. I have over 7 years of teaching and training experience. I am continuously updating my skillset to stay current in my work. I am a highly qualified, well recognized instructor in my field. I take a very different approach with each type of client depending on their personal needs. I look forward to working with you very soon!

I had an exceptional experience with Tais as I prepared for a mother-son wedding dance. With very limited dancing experience and a lack of confidence, she was the perfect teacher to work with. Taking things step by step in a fun, understandable and professional way, I was ready and confident by the wedding. My son joined me for a lesson when he was in town and she welcomed him in the same inclusive, interactive way. It was the perfect way to make sure this once in a lifetime event was a success!

Tais helped me and my husband perfect our wedding dance in a very short amount of time. We both had very minimal dancing experience and Tais was able to lead us to be more comfortable dancing with each other and learning the choreography she created for us. Truly we were both blown away by her instruction and our ability to learn so quickly. I highly recommend Tais as an instructor.

Tais is an exceptional dance instructor who went above and beyond to create a stunning and unforgettable first dance for our wedding. Over the course of just four sessions, she skillfully choreographed an elegant and beautiful routine that perfectly complemented our chosen song, even enlisting an audio engineer to create a custom version of our song. Tais's expertise, creativity, and passion for dance shone through in every session. Her clear instructions, patience, and encouraging demeanor made learning the choreography enjoyable and stress-free. Thanks to Tais's guidance, our first dance was a highlight of our wedding day, impressing our guests with its elegance and picture-worthy high impact moments. We cannot recommend Tais highly enough to any couple looking for a talented, dedicated, and compassionate dance instructor to help create a cherished first dance. She is a true gem in the world of wedding dance instruction, and we are forever grateful for the magic she brought to our special day.

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!

Tais was an absolute pleasure to work with! We decided to add a dance to our wedding just three days before the big day, and Tais went above and beyond to make it happen. She not only made us feel comfortable but also gave us the confidence to truly enjoy our moment. She even rearranged her own flight schedule to accommodate us, which speaks volumes about her dedication. Our dance turned out to be a highlight of the wedding, and we received so many compliments on it! We highly, highly recommend Tais to anyone looking for a skilled, caring, and accommodating dance instructor!
