I've had many lessons with various pros in the course of my dance career, and I can honestly say that Veronika and Lacho are the best coaches I've ever met. Veronika is incredibly focused and knowledgeable; she tunes in perfectly to my needs and abilities, pushing me to my limits without overwhelming me or making me feel inadequate. Her attention to technical detail is extraordinary and her ability to explain complex steps in very simple ways is superb. As for Lacho, I think I would sooner give up my husband than our dance partnership, that's how great he is :)! Unfailingly kind and cheerful, he

Highly recommend! My now husband and I took classes for our first dance for our wedding. We also had a class each for our parents songs for the wedding as well. It was such a great decision!!! The instructors are so talented, kind, and so easy to work with. We plan to take more classes. It makes a great date night too!

Best part of wedding planning! My husband and I signed up for dance lessons prior to our wedding since we'd never slow danced together. Our lessons were so fun, we laughed and learned to communicate better. Our dance was awesome and we even threw in a lift! Veronika is a very talented teacher. You'll feel comfortable and have a great time. Highly recommend. We're going to keep dancing at Image Ballroom when we can, that's how much we loved it.
