We were so lucky to find Donna to help us with our wedding dances. She choreographed multiple dances for us and edited the music for them. Really couldn't imagine having a better instructor. She is super nice, very knowledgeable, detail-oriented, and made all the lessons fun. She is extremely good at breaking things down to a granular level. We are actually already talking about taking more lessons with Donna after our wedding, and we just had our last lesson today, so we honestly couldn't recommend her enough.

Details: Two (ex. me and my partner) • First dance • Latin • Waltz • No, I do not have choreography in mind • Beginner • At the pro’s location

Donna is amazing. If you’re on the fence about doing dance lessons for your wedding - do it! My fiancé and I just had our final dance class before our wedding last night. Neither of us are dancers and it is truly unbelievable what she is able to do with two people who have never danced before. We expected to learn to sway back and forth but ended up with an entire routine including a lift in the air. Donna also choreographed a dance for my Dad and I in one of the 8 classes we got in our package. Tonight my fiancé told me he is sad we don’t have any lessons left so we may be back just for fun. Donna is so pleasant, reliable, and patient. Thank you Donna for your professionalism and care with Sean & I. We can’t wait to do our dance this upcoming Friday. 10/10 recommend!!!

We had our wedding last May 4th and had a choreography by Donna. We chose to dance with Die with a Smile. Donna gave us a great choreography, all of our guests were surprised. In just 4 sessions, we were able to complete the dance! And we're both not dancers! She's sweet, professional and amazing! Highly recommend

Donna coordinated my fiancé and I first dance we get married on Sunday and we couldn’t be happier with how our dance turned out. We absolutely loved working with her and will be back just to learn more dances. She is extremely fair with pricing, honest and reliable. She is one of the kindest souls you’ll ever meet and truly felt like family. My sooner my husband and I were so sad on our last lesson to say goodbye to Donna. But we will definitely be back!
