My fiancee and I purchased a 20 pack of lessons to prepare for our wedding. Danielle is a great teacher, fun, talented and she covers little details to make the dance fun for the crowd and photo's. Danielle's teaching style is very easy to follow. Highly recommend First Dance Studio!

If you are looking around for wedding dance lessons, stop what you are doing and call Danielle. She was the most amazing teacher ever. Completely blew us away with her knowledge and instincts. Every single class and all of her instruction just so on point all the time. And she knew how to communicate with us exactly how we needed it. We came to her with a very different and upbeat song that we had NO idea how to dance to. After feeling our vibe and energy, and within 30 seconds of her hearing our song she was like oh yeah this is easy. I know how we will do this. She was so fun to work with

Danielle is an amazing instructor!!! My husband and I took her wedding dance lessons. We were both very new to dancing and had zero experience before honestly we dreaded our first dance and taking dance lessons but Danielle made both of us really comfortable dancing and every time we left we were always excited to come back. I highly recommend First dance studio!

My fiance and I signed up for a series of lessons so that her dream first dance could become a reality. My fiance had some previous formal dance training, whereas I was barely an expert at the head-bob and two-step. Needless to say I was very anxious that I would be very out of place and never be able to do the moves that I would need to learn. And while our wedding is still a week away and I could certainly mess the entire thing up, if not for Danielle (at First Dance Studio), her patience, positive attitude, and way of explaining the steps at a manageable pace, I would not have the confidence
