My husband and I took dance lessons with Jennifer to prepare for our wedding. Neither of us would call ourselves dancers, but Jennifer was very patient and made the whole experience fun rather than stressful. She helped with our Mother-Daughter dance routine as well. She listened to our music choices and choreographed a routine that felt completely us. Everyone raved about our dances (especially the mother-daughter dance), and our wedding dance itself was truly magical. Highly recommend! read more

Jennifer at Dance Code Ballroom Studio was fantastic for our wedding dance. My wife and I came in with zero dance experience and a song we really loved, and she completely got what we wanted. She was patient, made the lessons fun, and broke everything down so it never felt overwhelming. She tailored the choreography perfectly to us--romantic but still doable--and by the time our wedding came around we felt confident and actually enjoyed performing it. Our guests kept telling us how good we looked out there. read more

My girlfriend and I took cha cha lessons here before we moved and had such a great time each week! The classes were fun, engaging, and a great way to learn something new together. Our instructor, Kirill, was fantastic--super knowledgeable, patient, and made every class enjoyable. Highly recommend Dance Code Ballroom if you're looking to pick up some dance skills or just want a fun, active date night idea! read more

The instructors aren't just great teachers--they're top-ranked competitive dancers who really know their craft. The instructors are skilled, patient, and make every class fun. Whether you're a beginner or more advanced, they help you improve while keeping the energy high. It's been a great way to stay active as well. If you're thinking about trying Latin dance, this is the place! Highly recommend! read more

We're thrilled that Jennifer and Kirill finally opened their own studio, Dance Code Ballroom! It's spacious, well-lit and beautiful. So proud of them for this achievement. Jennifer has been our daughter's Latin instructor for 7 + years and we're grateful to her for nurturing Sammy's passion and love for dance. She has developed poise, grace, confidence and has learned the importance of commitment. As a side note, Jennifer is multi- talented; she also makes custom latin costumes for many of her students. Love her! read more

I have been a student of Jenya for many years. And when my daughter was getting married, there was no question in my mind who would be the best at choreographing her first wedding dance, as well as my father/daughter dance! Jenya is a high level, trained, world class professional competitor in Ballroom dance, which gives her such an edge in designing Wedding Choreography. Jenya quickly gains understanding of the couple's desired music, their skill level, the venue and its dance floor; designs a beautiful yet do-able choreography. She recommends appropriate practices and exercises as may be needed. Jenya understands that the wedding couple have many things going on in preparation for their special day. She crafted an efficient and beautiful first-dance program for my daughter and her now husband and such a special dance for my daughter and I. This will stay in our memories forever! read more

Dance Code Ballroom Studio - So much fun to perform at Dance Code Ballroom Dance Showcase event! - Dance Studios Near Me - Laguna Woods, California

Professional employees that are exceptional at welcoming people. Good luck keeping up with some of the expert students.

Jennifer and Kirill are amazing, detail oriented, dedicated and passionate teachers that have taught me so much. I have been their student for around 5-6 years and coming from a long-term student viewpoint, I have loved every second of my ballroom dance career. I would not be the dancer I am today if it wasn't for them. Ballroom dancing has shaped me into the person I am today. I've met so many amazing people through this beautiful art form and I could not be more thankful for Dance Code Ballroom. I highly recommend this studio due to the fact that they can teach a multitude of things. It's beginner and advanced friendly. Whether you have never stepped on the dance floor once or you have competed at numerous ballroom competitions, Jennifer and Kirill will make you feel welcomed right away at Dance Code Ballroom. read more

See all

My son has been working with Jennifer & Kiril over the past four years and has developed into a beautiful and polished Latin dancer. Their attention to detail and choreography really sets them apart. They both go above and beyond to support my son's passion for dance. Whether it's helping to schedule competitions, squeezing in a few more lessons, or providing assistance with his ever-evolving Latin dance wardrobe - they have always been there for us! I highly recommend them! read more

This is a great place to take lessons for dance if you are interested in ballroom dance. I am a rookie when it comes to anything that isn't Zumba and I was looking for a place in Orange County (close to Irvine). I took lessons from Jennifer and she was not only patient and kind, but very clear in giving instructions. I learned to pay attention to my posture and noticed a change in my confidence level. I would recommend this place to anyone looking to take dance lessons! read more

I started learning salsa 6-7 months ago and was looking for another studio around me to check out. I'm so glad I found Dancier Ballroom. The dance instructors are funny, know their stuff and take the time to point out the small things like shoulder posture, hand & arm position and other details which has helped me become a better lead. I have been going each week for the last month and have improved so much that I will probably keep going. read more

Me and my wife Anna decided to do a wedding dance a month before our wedding. We came up with a song that we felt very close and started to look for a dancing studio. Having so small time left before the wedding we knew that we have to find someone special to make it happen not only because of time but also I'm not a good dancer and totally missing a rhythm. Not really my thing. Friend of us recommended calling Jen and talking to her about the wedding dance, maybe she can fit us during this month. Once we talked to her we immediately felt confident that we will be able to dance and show something special to our friends and guest. I'm not a dancer, as a matter of fact I'm a very bad dancer, and I was worrying a lot how to perform something special and fun at the wedding ,will I remember the moves ? and I'm not that flexible basically I was telling Jen I need something very simple, but she convinced me to stop worry and just practice and it all work out. Don't get me wrong I love music and dancing every time I hear electronic music, but it was our wedding dance and we wanted something romantic and energizing. We had 10 sessions with Eugenia and I truly can tell you that we enjoyed it a lot. Every time it was fun and after each session I was feeling more confident about the dance. She break down each part of the song for us into sections of moves, toughed me basics of a quick step and just supported me and my wife. At the wedding day Me and Anna were dancing amazing, relaxing and just having fun. It was the best dance I have ever performed. I cannot be more thankful to Jen for talking her time and teaching us beautiful moves, how to be connected with the partner during a dance, make it romantic and memorable. She is a truly the best at what she does and I wouldn't go anywhere else. Kostya & Anna read more

I have been a student under Jen for several years now. If you are looking for someone to help you choreograph a dance for your wedding, teach your partner not to step on your feet; awesome. She can do that. If you are looking for an exacting teacher to improve your dancing, one who will work WITH you rather than ON you, she can do that, too. She can come at things a number of ways and relate to both professionals and amateurs alike. You won't be disappointed. She's fun, smart, and practical. Start moving, not reading reviews, and call her. read more

I have to admit I was a bit skeptical when my daughter first asked me if she could take private Latin lessons at Dancier Ballroom. We do not have a ballroom dance background, and are new to this art form, having trained primarily in ballet. Fast forward nine months since that first lesson...My daughter has become a beautiful Latin dancer; graceful, poised, learning complex choreography, but moreover, she is truly fulfilled and very happy. As we all know, the teen years are rough. Dancier Ballroom has been very instrumental in helping a young girl who was starting to be down on herself, lacking confidence in her abilities, to flourish and be much more confident. My daughter and partner have worked really hard under the guidance of Jennifer and Kiril, earning a place in the finals at their first competition. I'm not sure what the magic is, but if you're on the fence about your son or daughter taking up Latin, or your child, or you, need to improve your dance skills and lift your confidence, I would highly recommend Dancier Ballroom. Not only are they very talented professional dancers and instructors, they'll deliver honesty, encouragement, skill evaluation and development and just the right amount of pressure. read more

Both my daughter and myself are very happy to have found Ballroom classes for kids and dance teacher such as Jennifer. I wasn't really sure what to expect when my daughter first started coming here (didn't think she would enjoy it as much as she does). But- now she dances better than me. My daughter has danced other types of dance but this is her first time learning ballroom. Jennifer has been extremely patient with my daughter considering- it being new to her. She's fun, yet strict when she needs to be. She has total respect from the kids while she is working with them and in turn they are learning so much- so fast! She is working with the kids on posture and form and all those little dancer details including technique to the T! My daughter loves her and is already wanting to push this to the next level. She knows what she's doing as a dance teacher. read more

Awesome! I took instructions from Jen- you'll find she is very talented, experienced & super nice! You can really tell she LOVES dance and makes the experience fun. You really appreciate instructors with such passion, you know? Overall, great instructors!! read more

We have been very pleased with the lessons our children have received with Jennifer. They learn so much in the time they work with her, from new steps to body position and poise. Both our son and daughter have increased confidence in themselves and their dancing abilities. They are beginners, but are very motivated by her instruction to learn more and continue lessons in the different styles of ballroom dance. Thank you Jennifer! read more

Great Place to learn dance lessons. My then-fiancé (now husband and lifelong dance partner) took Jennifer's class for a short time for our first dance on our wedding. The culture of the studio is very warm and we both felt in love with it. Our goal was to learn fun, energetic dance. We were about a month away from our wedding. We knew that learning energetic dances like would be challenging, but we hoped the process would be equally rewarding in the end (it was, and then some...). Jennifer was an extraordinary dance instructor: passionate, and patient instructor one could ever ask for. She gave her undivided attention to help make our dance moves explosive and to have good fun along the way! We had our wedding a month ago and are still watching our dances on replay! We cannot believe the progress we made or how much fun our guests had experiencing our dances! read more

Jenyan & jennifer have made of my kids a 4 times 1st places in different competitions in 5 different categories samba, cha-cha, rumba, paso doble, jive, made them very talented, disciplined, and they got a lot of self confidence. At the age now of 12 & 9 my they are looking forward to become a professional instructors just like them!! As a professional dance teachers they are very good. As a person, they have become like a big brothers to my kids, some one to look up to, very good influence for them; hard workers,very talented a lot of discipline and very successful.

Took a few lessons from Jen. She was extremely helpful considering I had no idea what I was doing. As soon as I took my first class I could tell that she was very knowledgeable about dance and she had a great passion for it. I would highly recommend her. read more

We signed up for lessons with Jennifer, to prepare for our first dance at our wedding. She is flexible and responsive for scheduling and very pleasant to work with, She explains and demonstrates the steps in a way that makes it easy to understand. She is very patient with us, even when we don't practice :) She has a great demeanor; a nice balance of friendly/supportive with a stricter focus on developing our dance skills. We both think she is delightful to work with (she would probably assess us differently as students!). We like her so much, we asked her and her dance partner to perform at my grandmothers 100th birthday, and are looking forward to seeing them perform! read more

If your goal is to perfect your dancing technique, boost confidence level or learn from ground zero, this is the place for you. The instructors are five-star professionals. They have developed a teaching method for adults and children that impart a strong foundation and enhance physical ability. Masterful presentation and solid technical feedback from the teachers is what amazes me the most about them. It almost seems like they know the secret of articulating dance concepts that extend far and beyond. Even without any prior dance experience you start walking, presenting yourself and moving like a professional dancer. With confidence, I guarantee these teachers will inspire an interest and passion for dancing in an egalitarian manner that is effective and fun. Taking dance lessons opened the door to an exiting world of shows, competitions, new friendships and connections in the dancing community. I highly recommend Dancier Ballroom. read more

Many people ask what is my "secret" for good dancing and how long I have spent doing this. It does not matter how long you have been dancing...It matters what kind of information and training you are receiving. If you want someone to provide WORLD CLASS technique, daily exercises, top-notch knowledge and more, then contact Jen K.! Not only is she an amazing and beautiful dancer, but she is an experienced technician who can take your dancing from good to great! It may be a slight difference in weight transfer or tightening up your core at a different part of your body than what you are used to, but make sure you listen! Her eye for detail is the KEY to make your dancing like that of a professional (even though you're still an amateur...we can only dream, right?!) After just a few lessons, I feel much more balanced with every step I take on the floor...and the judges have noticed! (I actually don't wobble now...that's progress!) My results speak for themselves as I went from always being in last place to second in the Open Latin Scholarship! Wow! And...did I mention she also does incredible makeup and hair? Thanks to her, I look like a pro on the floor! Many women think they need to take lessons with a man, but little do they realize they should be taking at least half of their lessons with a woman. So...if you want to look like a woman on the dance floor, then take lessons with a woman...and what better woman to relay world-class instruction than Jen! Many, many thanks to Jen for sharing her knowledge with everyone to improve their dancing! Jen also teaches children, so I can't wait for her to start teaching my little girl! read more
