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!

We couldn't be happier with our experience with Tais as our wedding dance instructor! My partner was really nervous about our first dance since he’s not a dancer, but Tais completely transformed that anxiety into excitement. Her warm and friendly demeanor instantly put us both at ease, and her incredible talent made learning the routine an absolute joy, even with just five lessons. Tais crafted a fun, energetic, and iconic dance routine that not only impressed us but also left our guests in awe. In fact, our dance was such a hit that our guests demanded an encore, and we were thrilled to perform it again! Tais made our first dance unforgettable, and we can’t recommend her enough. Her effort and dedication to go above and beyond is something we will always cherish.

My now husband and I had the privilege of taking dance lessons with Tais Zhukova for our wedding first dance. Over the course of about 5 lessons, Tais choreographed the perfect dance for our abilities and to our selected song. Neither of us had much dance background, and Tais was always patient and willing to work with us until we mastered the choreography. She herself is an incredibly talented dancer and is able to break down each move to make it easy for anyone to learn. Tais made each class fun and enjoyable, and my husband and I genuinely looked forward to each lesson. Our first dance turned out perfect and exceeded all expectations! Overall, such a great experience and would recommend Tais to any couples!

I cannot recommend Tais enough! She truly deserves all five stars and more. My experience with her as our dance instructor was absolutely phenomenal. From the moment I reached out to her with the idea of incorporating a Bridgerton-inspired dance into our wedding first dance, she was enthusiastic and supportive. Tais exceeded all expectations. Our first dance was a spectacle! Inspired by Bridgerton, it was elegant, graceful, and utterly captivating. The guests were mesmerized, and the pictures turned out stunningly beautiful, capturing every moment of our enchanting performance. Tais's patience and professionalism were remarkable. She meticulously guided my husband and me through the intricacies of ballroom dancing, turning novices like us into confident dancers. Many of our guests were astonished by how well we danced, all thanks to Tais's exceptional teaching skills. Beyond her expertise, Tais brought joy and fun to our dance lessons. She made the entire experience enjoyable, and we looked forward to every session. Even after our wedding, I would schedule additional lessons with her just for the sheer pleasure of it. Tais, thank you for making our wedding day truly memorable. Your talent, dedication, and warmth made all the difference.

We had so so much fun working with Tais to learn a first dance for our wedding. We could not have asked for a better instructor—she has such expertise but makes it accessible. Learning from Tais was one of the highlights of our whole wedding experience and we’d happily recommend her to anyone looking for lessons.
