My fiancé and I had our first lesson with Ilia. We took advantage of the studios introductory offer of two privatelessons for $99, and plan to do a more lessons after that. We want to learn a choreographed dance for our wedding, and Ilia has been phenomenal so far. Even in just one lesson my fiancé and I have learned so much and my fiancé’s confidence has grown already! Looking forward to our future lessons and surprising everyone at our wedding with what we learn.
Details: Two (ex. me and my partner) • First dance • What my teacher recommends • Beginner • At the pro’s location

My fiance and I just wanted to learn a few steps before our first dance, seeing as we had never really danced before. WHYM was able to teach us a couple good looking steps to use and made the entire experience fun and relaxing! We will for sure return to them if we want to learn any more dances!

Thanks Drew! We had a great time dancing with you. Good luck on your big day! We hope to see you soon.

Ilia is the best! We hired him for dancelessons for our wedding, and he has helped two VERY beginner dancers put together a routine and made it look great. He is patient, explains dance concepts/combo clearly, and has made dancing fun for us. His wedding package price is also the best around. It would be a mistake to not take dancelessons with him!
Details: Two (e.g., myself and my husband) • First dance • Latin • No experience • Once a week • 45 minutes • Monday • Tuesday • Wednesday • Thursday • Saturday • Friday • Sunday • Evening (after 6pm) • I travel to the wedding dance instructor

I love Ilia. He is so personable and a great instructor. He listened to what we were looking for and kept us on track for our wedding dance. We plan on going back very soon with group of friends for lessons.
