This was the best experience EVER! Had to talk my fiancé into this and she is so happy I did! I would highly recommend Patrik to anyone - beginner or advance. Patrik has incredible patience, skill, an amazing personality and everything you could possibly want in a dance instructor.

Details: Two (ex. me and my partner) • First dance • What my teacher recommends • No, I do not have choreography in mind • No song preference • No experience • My home, venue, etc.

What really sets Patrik apart was his authenticity and obvious passion for teaching, especiallu us as a wedding couple with very little dance experience. Patrik took the time to understand us as individuals, our strengths, and exactly what we were looking for on the dance floor. In only 6 and a half lessons he was able to take us from zero to heroes, with custom choreography, directions, and he even edited our song to a shorter length that we wanted at no additional cost. We both appreciate his help in makeing sure we were 100 percent prepared to really enjoy our first dance and the memories our family and freinds have forever, HIGHLY HIGHLY recommend!!!! ~Kimi and Jake
