My daughter got married at Merion Cricket Club in June and John was intrumental in making the Big Day a huge success. One of my friends suggested seeking out John as he and his daughter had received dance lessons from John before their wedding.
We went to see John twice - once a month or so before the wedding and the second time a few days before the wedding. John is the consummate professional treating us with so much respect and energy even though we were complete neophytes when it came to formal dancing. All three of us attended (my daughter, my future son-in-law and me) and the experience not only calmed our nerves at the prospect of dancing in front of a room of people but inspired a lot of confidence and happiness in us on the actual day.
I cannot recommend John highly enough - his enthusiasm, his professionalism, his thoughfulness and his imagination are all worth their weight in gold. As my son-in-law said on more than one occasion: "I have never enjoyed something more than I thought that I was completely terrified by!"
If I could give John ten stars, I would!

Incredibly responsive and friendly business and owner. Once we made our first wedding dance lesson appointment, Marissa really took our first song and ran with it, and we could not have been happier. We had so much fun every time we came, and Marissa was just a pumped as we were. She coached us through everything of course, but also always had a backup plan if something wasn’t gelling well. She made us a spreadsheet to help us practice at home and she recorded us at the end of each lesson. She really spoke our language in terms of how our brains absorbed and remembered the information. By the time our big day came, we NAILED it and the crowd went wild.

Marisa was fantastic - we had so much fun learning to dance for our wedding. We only had time for one session and they made it work. We could not recommend them more highly!

My wife and I took lessons with John at Pivot Ballroom for our first dance and had an absolute blast. Not only was each lesson a fun date night but we were confident with our first dance and our guests were blown away! While I am not much of a dancer, John was able to whip up fun and unique choreography for us about a month before the wedding that made us both look and feel great. He is a great guy and fun to work with. 10/10 recommend taking dances classes with him whether you are looking for a fun date night or a first dance routine. Thanks again John and Pivot Ballroom!

We completed five dance lessons at Pivot Ballroom with Monika prior to our wedding. The studio was quick to respond to our request for lessons and scheduled a time that fit both our busy schedules. My wife and I had a blast working with Monika. Each lesson was fun and engaging. She is very knowledgable about multiple styles of dance and was able to tailor the choreography to our skill level. On the wedding day our first dance was a better received than we could have hoped. We had so much fun through this process that we decided to continue our dance instruction with Monika. If you are a couple considering a choreographed first wedding dance, we give Monika and Pivot Ballroom our highest recommendation.
