Yavor is amazing! He is just the right person you hope for in a dance instructor. My Fiancée and I are taking lessons for our wedding dance and he makes it not only so much fun but incredibly productive. His energy and enthusiasm make the process so much fun. I highly recommend Yavor!

Yavor has been an absolute pleasure to work with! He’s helping my Fiance and I choreograph our special wedding dance. My Fiance was nervous in the beginning because he doesn’t like to dance however, Yavor has made the experience fun and enjoyable! We really appreciate Yavor for helping us with our special dance for our special day!

Yavor is worth every penny. My fiancé and I had never taken a dancelesson before, but by the end of our very first session, he had us feeling confident, creative, and genuinely excited for our first dance. As complete beginners, we really appreciated how he broke each movement down into simple basics and gradually built from there to create something fun and impressive. It’s easy to see how someone with more experience could also collaborate with him, share their vision, and create something truly unique.
