One nervous partner is normal.
Half the couples who walk in have one partner who got talked into it. Our instructors are good with skeptics: simple steps first, zero spotlight, and the nervous one usually ends up enjoying it most.

They are so kind and I’ve already learned so much just in two lessons. Can’t wait to keep dancing :)
I really love this dance studio. It’s especially clean and beautiful, which is very important to me. Most of all, my teacher is very patient. I’m very happy to take lessons here.
Dance teachers are very patient and detailed in teaching students the steps. Most of the teachers are of professional ballroom competitor caliber. I will really recommend it.

Questions
FAQ
How many lessons do we need?
It depends on your timeline and how choreographed you want it: anywhere from 3 lessons for a simple, confident dance to a fully rehearsed routine. The free consult gives you an honest number for your date.
My partner really doesn't dance. Will this work?
Yes: reluctant partners are half our wedding students. We start simple, keep it private, and build confidence fast.
Can you work with our song?
Yes. We choreograph to your song, and we can advise on edits or timing if it needs a trim.
What does it cost?
Wedding programs are sized to your timeline and goals. Your free consult ends with an exact quote, explained once, no pressure.
We're down to the last few weeks. Too late?
No. The 3-6 week plan exists exactly for you. Call us today: (626) 342-7909.
