John was amazing and fun to work with for our wedding choreography. He was really a trooper to go after the medley of 5 songs I had out together and come up with different steps for each of those. We had a lot of fun learning, practicing and really enjoyed the live version, we were able to put out there for our guests. It was the best experience thanks to John professionalism and expertise.

Dan is a great dance teacher! My fiancé and I used him to learn some steps for our first dance at our wedding. His lessons were incredibly helpful and he was very patient with us having no dance experience. I would absolutely recommend him to anyone!

Through time spent years ago learning ballroom, I came to know quite a few dance instructors, either personally or through their students who were acquaintances of mine. Either they sweet talk you into buying expensive packages (and then disappear), or convince you to spend a fortune to train and enter competitions...when maybe all you want to do is learn to dance socially and have FUN. John’s whole approach is, “if it’s not fun, why do it?” No drama, no hassles, no pressure! He’s more patient and supportive than any instructor I’ve ever known, and believe me, you will have fun while you’re learning!
