Introduction: Why is Anyone Can Dance different? -Unlike most wedding dance studios, at Anyone Can Dance you will have your own private studio space. You won't be cramped on a dance floor with 5 other couples. -Every dance is catered to you and your partner. We work together to find a dance that is exactly what you're looking for. No dance is premade or reused! We listen to your wants and we deliver! - We understand that planning a wedding is a stressful and busy time. Anyone Can Dance is extremely efficient and we won't push 15 lessons on you, but instead on average we recommend 3-5. We film the end of each lesson so you can practice on your own! Your dance lessons should be fun and something to look forward to, not another thing to check off your wedding to do list. Message to schedule a phone consultation or book a trial with no other commitment necessary. Would a trial lesson be good for you? If your wedding is months away, and you're not sure if you really want to take lessons this is a good way to see how you feel! OR If you're having a hard time choosing a song, trial lessons are used to help you decide. ​30 minute session - $60 45 minute session - $80 In and Out  1 Lesson You'll learn basic movements and steps that you will be able to use for your specific song and be given an intro.  Comfort Package Three 1 Hour Lessons Completely Private Studio Setting Custom choreography so you don't have to think of what to do on the spot!

Emily was incredible and a pleasure to work with! We were a bit nervous about our first dance for our wedding and wanted it to be something special - all eyes are on you! From the moment we met Emily and began our lessons with her, she made learning our first dance experience fun and enjoyable. She choreographed a beautiful first dance for us and practiced with us so we felt comfortable and confident. We also had a ton of fun with her! Since our wedding, our guests have raved about our first dance, how special it was, and couldn’t believe we had some of our moves - they are still talking about it weeks later and we cannot stop watching the videos. Emily will make you feel like you know what you are doing and make it feel worth it! We highly recommend her to any couple or person wanting to dance. Thank you, Emily!

Emily was great. She clearly knows how to dance and more importantly how to teach dancing. Lessons were perfectly paced and we learned how to dance before our wedding. She helped with any anxiety we had about our skill levels and was a good presence to be around. Lastly, she was open to adjusting our dance to fit our wants and needs: We wanted more spinning and she reworked it to add, we were self conscious about a certain step so she pared it way back. Can't recommend enough

Working with Emily was an absolute joy. My wife and I were looking for a dance instructor to help us with our first dance for our wedding this past Fall. We both have left feet and Emily was the perfect dance instructor who made us feel so comfortable and even made us look like dancers! Emily was super fun to work with and we enjoyed our dance lessons with her leading up to our wedding. She helped us put together choreography that went so well with our wedding song and she was always constructive and supportive as we learned it. Emily was truly amazing to work with and we could not recommend her more highly to future couples. We cannot wait to see our wedding video to see our first dance!

Emily was fantastic! She taught us the coolest moves in just three lessons. We had little background in dancing. We were so impressed by how far we had come by the last lesson. We even had to work around a sprained ankle and covid just one month before our wedding. On our special day, we nailed it! Emily was supportive, funny, patient, and flexible. We’re so happy we got to work with her!

We went to Emily after being turned off by a larger studio. She was gracious from the start, and really listened to our desires for our first dance at our wedding. (Which, admittedly, were mainly to not look like complete idiots...) Emily took us through a series of steps (metaphorical and literal) that resulted in a great first dance. I completely lacked confidence going into our first session -- I really thought she was going to have to change the name of her business to "Anyone Can Dance NYC Except For You Two Ne'er-Do-Wells", but instead she can now change it to "Anyone Can Dance NYC Including You Two Stumblebums, Which Like I Already Said 'Everyone' So What's The Big Deal?" Seriously though, Emily was terrific. She didn't just teach us steps and choreograph -- she also calmed our (my) nerves, put the steps in a broader context, paid attention to details, gently pushed us to be better, and seemed to really care about our experience. We really weren't sure at first if we should take lessons -- like, were we really going to spend all this money just for a three-minute dance? But we got so much more than that -- we learned things that can apply to dancing elsewhere, we felt great going into the day, and we had a blast. Oh and we crushed it at the wedding. If you're fortunate enough to be able to take lessons, then Emily is the perfect person to take them with. Best, -David and Gillian.
