We are so grateful we found Priti and Saanwee. We're having a fusion wedding and knew we wanted our first dance to include both ballroom and Bollywood sections. It was pretty difficult to find a choreographer who had experience with both! Then we found Priti, who was just the perfect match. Priti worked with us to find the perfect package of sessions and was always flexible with offering us both in person and virtual sessions. The choreography was really personalized, both to our songs and the kinds of stuff we wanted to do. The choreo is impressive in the best way: she met us where we were with our dancing skills levels (one of us is definitely not a dancer lol) but also challenged us gently to go above and beyond and really learn some cool moves. And the process of doing dance lessons itself was really fun - great way to get excited about the wedding day. On top of that Priti is so kind, skilled, and experienced; we're really privileged to be able to work with someone who has worked at the highest stages of dance. We have loved working with Saanwee, would highly recommend them for any wedding or other dance services, and are excited to do our dance and then keep working with Saanwee!

Priti was excellent to work with! Choreographed and taught my son and I am amazing Mother/Son dance for his wedding. She was very patient, adapted moves as we needed, was responsive to our concerns and preferences, and held us to a high standard in a very kind way. Our dance involved starting slowly and surprising everyone with moving into dances to pieces of five “fun”songs. Priti’s instruction and attention to detail led to our executing the dance flawlessly. Guests are still talking about it three months later!

Priti is an amazing dance instructor. My fiancé and I have been taking lessons for our first dance in our wedding. We have no prior dancing experience but she has shown us that we truly can dance and now we can not wait to get on the dance floor and surprise our guests with our dance. She also makes the lessons fun and engaging! If you have any doubts, let me be the first one to dismiss them because choosing Priti as your instructor will be a choice you will never regret.

Priti is super professional, kind, and an incredible dancer and instructor. I would highly recommend her to anyone who wants to learn how to dance. She is able to teach from experience and based off of special requested videos. If you are looking for a fun, high energy, professional and comfortable dance lesson, she is the person to teach it!

We’ve just started working with Priti to do dance lessons for our wedding. We got so much out of just the consultation lesson! She was so thorough in getting to what we wanted, who we were, and what we were hoping for from the experience. So excited to work with her to perfect our first dance!!
