Nick was the absolute best! We came to him very last min in need of a first dance for our wedding only a few days before, and he delivered in so many ways. He was extremely accommodating and went out of his way to work with us on our schedule to help us in a bind, and made the overall experience fun and super digestible to learn. For both of us who had zero prior dance experience he made us feel welcome, confident, and good in our movements and overall routine. We came away with a beautiful routine that we were thrilled to have as our first dance. We loved our time working with him and will look to book some one off sessions as fun date nights after our big day. Can’t recommend Nick highly enough!

Nick has been an absolute pleasure to work with over our 10+ class journey! My fiancé and I came to him with no prior dance backgrounds and he managed to choreograph (and perfect) an almost 3 minute dance routine for us for our First Dance. He was incredibly responsive, encouraging, and professional. Any request we made, he fulfilled it. He made each lesson fun yet highly productive and was able to coach both the lead and the follow roles. We would recommend him to anyone with no hesitation and we can’t wait to continue our dance journey with him after our wedding!

We've never taken dancelessons before and he easily calmed our fears and within a month taught us a weddingdance that we're very excited with! Fun to work with, listens and coaches very well, we're only sorry we didn't sign up sooner!

Nick is an amazing instructor! We never were into dance, but had to take lessons for our wedding. With Nick’s guidance, we ended up loving it and now continue the lessons after our wedding. He’s extremely versatile, patient and creative. He also takes the time to explain and break down routines to a very rudimentary level for those of us who need it!

FAQs
What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?
My first lesson is $65 to try me out. Afterwards we will sit down together and go over the many private dance packages I offer. There are discounts for the more lessons you buy; and there is a something for every budget and schedule.
What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
If I'm working with a wedding couple then we will start choreographing on the very first lesson! We will discuss everything from how the dress could impact the choreography, to the length of song, to how to enter and exit the floor gracefully. Every lesson we will learn a new section of the dance until it is done. Then, we practice, polish, and perfect until it feels natural and comfortable.
If I'm working with a social dancer, then the first few lessons is dedicated to experiencing a multitude of different styles and dances so the student can discover what they like. *Unless they have a very specific dance they know they want to learn. Then we focus on that.
Every lesson is dedicated to learning steps to make up a routine then learning how to lead/follow that routine. Finally learning crucial technique to make them move stronger, faster, smoother, and more gracefully.
What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
I am Bronze, Silver, and Gold Level Certified in a Nationally Recognized Dance Syllabus.
