We could not rate Ashley high enough. She was so helpful and communicative leading up to our lesson, and exceeded our expectations during the lesson itself. She choreographed a dance for two total novices on the spot, made learning the steps so easy and tailored the whole thing to our abilities flawlessly. We are so thankful we found her for our upcoming wedding, and will definitely recommend her to all our friends and family in the future!

Details: Two (ex. me and my partner) • First dance • What my teacher recommends • I'm flexible • No experience • My home, venue, etc.

Ashley is the best!! She really breaks down the steps so it's super easy to learn. Plus, she's a great person. I've been taking West Coast Swing lessons weekly for over a year with Ashley. I highly recommend her for any dance style you'd like to learn.

Details: 46-65 • One person (one-on-one with instructor) • Ballroom • Intermediate • Developing a hobby • 60 minutes • Once a week • At the pro’s location • My home, venue, etc.

Ashley has been a stellar guide to take me through both the basics and nuances of West Coast Swing, with astute observations and thoughtful corrections. She remains positive and encouraging throughout. After a private lesson with her, I have the courage to get out there on the dance floor. Very enjoyable and helpful beyond what can be taught in a group class. I know I'll be returning for more!

We are so incredibly grateful to have worked with Ashley for our wedding first dance! From the very beginning, she was kind, patient, and so supportive—everything we needed as a couple with very different dance experience levels. I’ve danced before, but my husband hadn’t, and she made both of us feel completely comfortable and confident. She kept the energy calm and encouraging, never rushed us, and always made it fun. She went above and beyond by editing our song and even giving us multiple versions to choose from so we could find the one that felt just right. Her thoughtfulness and creativity made the whole process exciting and something we genuinely looked forward to each week. The final dance turned out beautifully—our guests loved it, and more importantly, we loved it. It was such a special moment for us. My husband had such a great experience that he might even be open to taking more dance classes with me in the future—something I never thought I’d say! If you’re considering dance lessons for your wedding (or anything else), we truly cannot recommend Ashley enough.

My husband and I had the absolute pleasure of working with Ashley from Aesthetic Dance Studios to prepare for our first dance at our wedding, and she was truly incredible! From the moment we met her, she made us feel comfortable, confident, and excited about dancing together—something neither of us had much experience with before. She not only taught us choreography that fit our style and song perfectly, but she also went above and beyond in every way. She took the time to make sure we felt great in every step, helped troubleshoot a bustle issue with my dress (lifesaver!), and even offered to help us with additional choreography if my dress issue was not solved. Her support, patience, and warm energy made a huge difference during a very busy and emotional time. We can’t thank her enough for helping us create such a special moment on our big day. We got so many compliments on how amazing we were! Highly, highly recommend her to any couple preparing for their wedding dance—or any dance at all!
