My husband and I did 5 online classes and were so happy with the result! We finished in 4 classes and the 5th one we worked on cleaning up some of our footwork and arms. At first I was a little nervous to take a digital class, but PJ was great at explaining movements to us so we could see her vision. She was really great at mixing what she envisioned, what I wanted based on videos I found, and what we were comfortable/looked good doing. The time we spent together learning it was so much fun and we weren't nervous at all to perform in front of our friends. Having a choreographed first dance was such a special moment for us and our guests, and also added to the fairytale atmosphere of our wedding. We would do it all over again! read more

My partner and I got the 5 lessons- Keep It Simple First Dance Package and had our lessons with Caroline and she was absolutely amazing! We were both nervous as we don't have much dance experience at all, but Caroline was so nice and friendly from the start. We had a great time at our lessons! She would thoroughly explain everything and give us options for different moves which we were thankful for. Our first dance at our wedding went great thanks to Caroline and our lessons! Would recommend Wedding Dance Coach to anyone looking for lessons :) read more

I have two left feet when it comes to dancing and can wholeheartedly say without reservation that Tara gave me the confidence to dance in front of 100 of our closest loved ones. We purchased the 5 dance pack to design a routine to our first dance song, Right Down the Line (Gerry Rafferty). Tara listened to our wishes and choreographed the perfect dance! Our friends and family were impressed (it was a surprise!). We really enjoyed the dance lessons in themselves, and are thinking of going back for a random dance lesson or two! read more

Thank you Elisabeth for making our wedding dance so memorable! Elisabeth was super fun to work with. She was very patient with us, since my now hubby does not dance and mayyy have 2 left feet, where I am an amateur dancer and LOVE to dance! She listened to our wants and helped create a beautiful dance with some fun moves thrown in for me, while keeping the base classically simple so that my hubby felt comfortable. We chose the 5-lesson "anti-middle school dance package" since we wanted a dance that wasn't overly choreographed so we could enjoy the moment together on our big day. Our song (Don't you Worry by Oh Wonder) is pretty slow, and in a strange time signature, but that didn't phase Elisabeth. She communicated her ideas and always talked through everything with us to make sure the dance was what we wanted. We had so much fun practicing our dance, and gave a flawless performance on our wedding day! Definitely one of the highlights of our wedding prep Our photos say it all - thanks again Elisabeth + Wedding Dance Coach! read more

Absolutely fabulous! Super glad we got lessons with Wedding Dance Coach in advance of our wedding reception. Our lessons were all with Melissa, and she was just awesome. You see, my wife likes dancing and wanted to have some sort of moderately choreographed first-dance at our wedding reception. I hate dancing, and did not want some sort of moderately choreographed first-dance at our wedding reception. So we compromised, and had a moderately choreographed first-dance at our wedding reception! While I don't like dancing very much, I thought the process of learning some dance moves was great. Melissa explained everything very well, and was excellent and adapting things when we didn't like a particular move and wanted to try something different. It was super easy to both be a blank canvas for her suggestions that fit with our song, and also work with her to make changes and do things slightly different to correspond to our comfort level. I'm really happy with the lessons we got, and our dance went super super well during our reception! Even though I'm not a huge dancing fan, I really had fun crafting a dance with my wife and our coach, and thought the classes/lessons were excellent, and it really paid off. I don't regret a thing and am very glad we did what we did. I'd absolutely use WDC and Melissa again! read more

We took lessons with Wedding Dance Coach for our first dance and are so glad we did. Elisabeth and Melissa worked with us to create a routine that matched with our style and ability level and that perfectly complimented our song. We identified a few key moves that felt comfortable to us and worked on perfecting those. We didn't want something too over-orchestrated and were so happy with their flexibility and partnership in crafting something that felt just like us. We had so much more confidence and a lot more fun having taken lessons and our guests gave us standing ovation!! Definitely recommend working with Wedding Dance Coach to make your first dance one to remember. read more

Wedding Dance Coach - Dance Schools Near Me - Denver, Colorado

We love to dance but this was no ordinary dance. It was our first dance -- in front of all of our family and friends! And it was a waltz and that's not our usual style at all. But Tara got to know us and choreographed a dance that felt natural to both of us. Halfway through our set of lessons, we decided we wanted to change one of the elements and Tara was amazing at coming up with options and helping us quickly weave it into what we've already learned. After five lessons, we felt confident and comfortable. We could actually relax and ENJOY the dance rather than worrying about how we looked or what step came next. We got rave reviews, cheers, and lots of applause. But best of all -- we had a blast with each step! We'd highly recommend The Wedding Dance Coach and Tara our instructor! read more

This was such a great time. We went from amateurs to pros in a few lessons. I would recommend these guys for anyone that wants to up their dance game! read more

We waited until the last minute to book our 1-hour session with Melissa at the Denver location. We figured that at most we'd learn a few easy dance moves but Melissa used every minute of that hour effectively and choreographed our first dance wonderfully! She made us feel confident and empowered - practicing dancing was definitely the most fun part of wedding prep for us! :) We would highly recommend working with Melissa for your dance lessons! If you are able, don't be like us - book more sessions. But if you are like us, you can trust that 1 hour is absolutely worth it and can teach you enough for your first dance! read more

When my husband and I talked about the first dance at our wedding, we both immediately knew that we wanted to do something different than your traditional slow dance. While the idea of a choreographed dance overwhelmed us at first, we gained an instant cheerleader in the owner, Elizabeth, the very first time I called and explained our crazy idea. From that moment I just knew we HAD to book the 10-class package and begin the process even though we had just a little over 12 weeks before the wedding. Because they have such a user-friendly booking system, it was very easy to book all 10 classes and find times that worked with both our work schedules, and overall crazy wedding planning schedule. Now, if you're reading this, you need to understand the extent of what we were asking of Wedding Dance Coach and their amazing instructors. We came to them with a specific song (Two of Hearts by Stacey Q), and asked them to choreograph a step-by-step dance for us. While most couples would be more than happy learning a few basic moves/steps and calling it good, we were asking for a lot more than that. And boy did they DELIVER!!!! We switched between both Melissa and Elisabeth who were both incredible. While Melissa nailed the overall structure of the dance, Elisabeth then came in and whipped out amazing moves that would leave my husband and I awe struck just because of how clearly she understood our vision. As we finished 8 classes, both instructors showed us so much support and grace as it wasn't always the easiest process to learn a dance in 10 weeks, especially in between bach parties and wedding planning. We then got to use the remaining two classes on a mother/son dance. The end product was what I would describe as the showstopper of our wedding day. Seeing and hearing how much joy that moment brought our closest friends and family was amazing. We even have little cousins still asking us if we could teach them the dance. I can't begin to explain how grateful we are to the team at Wedding Dance Coach for being so adventurous with us and giving us a memory we will treasure for the rest of our lives. If you are on the fence about booking, take this as your sign to do it! You won't regret it. read more

We had the pleasure of working with Elisabeth for our first dance. My husband and I only did one class because we were short on time but just having one session made a HUGE difference. Elisabeth walked us through some basic steps and gave us a variety of choreography to try. Most importantly, we felt confident and excited for our first dance! read more

We worked with Troy for 3 sessions, and we had the best time!! My fiance is not much of a dancer, and Troy worked with him to feel super comfortable and answered all of his questions. He also recorded some of our dance moves during lessons so we could reference them when we practiced. We wanted our dance to be fairly simple, but avoid the middle school dance vibe, and he hit it perfectly on the mark! However, Wedding Dance Coach can also do some more elaborate dances if that's what you're looking for too!! We enjoyed our dance lessons so much that now even my two-left-feet fiance is asking if we can continue dance lessons even after we're married too! I can't recommend this place enough, and it was worth every penny! If you're thinking about doing some pre-wedding first dance classes with Wedding Dance Coach, do it! read more

Wedding Dance Coach - Fiance and I learning a dip - Dance Schools Near Me - Denver, Colorado

My husband and I had just the BEST time learning some dance moves for our first dance with our dance coach Melissa. She made us feel so welcome and confident. We essentially got to have a little dance date night 5 times before the wedding- practicing our first dance but also learning moves we can utilize in a number of dance settings in the future. All in all, it was so much fun. Our wedding guests just loved it and it really added something fun and special to our reception. Wish we could do it all again. Now we're excited to go check out some dance clubs in Denver Melissa recommended and continue to improve our dance skills. Hope to see you around there, thanks Melissa and Wedding Dance Coach company! read more

Thank you Melissa and Wedding Dance Coach for making the Daughter/Father dance at our daughter's wedding one for the record books!! It was such a fantastic and memorable experience that ultimately led to one of the most cherished moments of my daughter's and my life! I am an "able" dancer but not a "gifted" dancer and the team of coaches helped us to create a sentimental and fun dance within my abilities yet "wow" the wedding guests. We turned our lesson evenings into a father/daughter "date night" which made the entire experience even more special for the both of us. I highly recommend Wedding Dance Coach (ask for Melissa). read more

Sina gave us 5 dance lessons for our July 20, 2019 wedding. We chose her because we were able to meet in Longmont and had a horrible experience with 1 lesson in Denver prior with a way less professional teacher. So we came into these lessons nervous from our prior experience (rightfully so). Sina IMMEDIATELY calmed our nerves and was such a professional. She knew the answers to all our questions and choreographed a really sweet dance for us. It was just enough for us to feel fancy and special on our day, but not too fancy for two people that awful dancers. She made us look great and we are so thankful for her lessons! She was always on time, professional, prepared, and super happy. If we ever needed lessons again, we would for sure go to her! read more

A couple friends of ours recommended Wedding Dance Coach for dance lessons for our wedding, so we went with it and BOY DID IT EXCEED EXPECTATIONS! We had Mel (Melissa) as our dance coach- she was fabulous! So fun and easy to work with! She was patient with us, had fun with us, an amazing teacher and really felt our song! We did the "anti middle school dance package" which we loved the name of and it was perfect. We were also a little nervous if you will as neither of us had any dance experience. We wanted an idea of what we were doing, so we weren't just saying back and forth, but did not want a super choreographed routine and Mel gave us just that! We had soooo much fun the 5 weeks leading up to our wedding- 1 lesson per week and improved so much! Our dance was exactly what we wanted it to be and our guests loved watching us the day of! Thank you Mel and thank you Wedding Dance Coach!!! read more

My husband and I took 5 dance lessons in preparation for our wedding. We absolutely loved the experience and would recommend this studio to anyone who is getting married! Whether you're looking for a choreographed first dance or just wanting to feel more comfortable on the dance floor, Wedding Dance Coach has everything. We took lessons with Elisabeth Barry and she was such a fun, warm, and talented dance teacher. She immediately made us feel welcome and at ease with the process. She always gave us choices on what we liked best, which we appreciated immensely. By the end of the 5 lessons we felt so confident and have even talked about continuing to take dance lessons as a married couple! Taking dance lessons in preparation for our wedding was such a fun way to connect as a couple and relieve planning stress! Thank you, Wedding Dance Coach! read more

SO much fun! We took dance lessons because we wanted our first dance to be fun and something our guests would actually enjoy watching (instead of the boring sway). Elisabeth did such an incredible job incorporating the moves/lifts we wanted without making it too difficult to grasp. She listened to our questions and was great at constructively letting us know how we can improve our moves in real time (super helpful). Our guests LOVED our dance and were smiling just as much as we were. Whether you're looking for a few pointers to spice up your first dance or looking for something grand - I highly recommend taking dance lessons with Wedding Dance Coach! read more

Melissa from Wedding Dance Coach was so amazing to work with. Incredibly patient and thoughtful in her coaching, and we needed a lot of coaching! She was so creative with the dance, and our guests were floored! We are so glad we did this as part of our wedding planning. It was nice to take a break from the stress and attend dance lessons that put a smile on our faces. Thank you Melissa and the Wedding Dance Coach team for making this process so fun! We'll remember our dance forever read more

Every once in a while, everything falls into place *perfectly*. My partner and I were less than two weeks out from our wedding with one of the "must do" items staring at us on our task list: dance lessons. My partner dances well. I, on the other hand, didn't get the gay dance gene and am decidedly robotic and completely devoid of rhythm and really any dance skill at all. Enter Elizabeth. I googled "dance lessons" and I guess since we live only three blocks away, her name came up first. I made a panicked phone call and told her our plight, she giggled and offered for us to come to her studio the same night, essentially after hours. We were greeted with a warm smile and an extremely professional yet fun Elizabeth. Within an hour's time, my brain-body connection soon discovered I had both a left and a right foot. Miraculously, by the end of the lesson my partner and I were making smooth-ish box steps and relatively easy more advanced moves. We came back once more for a refresher and a few more "from the top" practice rounds... Whether you dance like Elaine from Seinfeld or you're appearing on Dancing With the Stars but need some additional coaching beforehand, Elizabeth (and I presume her team but can't personally vouch) are an invaluable resource. read more

We had the BEST time with Melissa! She was so fun and patient with us (neither my husband nor I are strong dancers). I would highly recommend taking lessons with Melissa as it was a highlight of wedding planning! And our guests loved our dance! read more

This place is fabulous! My husband and I wanted private dance lessons where someone would work with us to make our song and dance uniquely us and that's exactly what we got! Our wedding photographer ran up to me after our first dance and said our first dance was the best she's seen. This studio and staff are laid back and reassuring which makes the process of learning a dance all the more fun. My husband was skeptical at first because he's not much of a dancer, but said this was the most fun part of wedding preparations. This is the place to go if you want an awesome dance, stress-free environment, and fun coaches! read more

WOW! We used Melissa as our Wedding Dance Coach and we are SO glad we did! I've been to a lot of failed Zumba classes so I didn't have high hopes for our wedding dance, but boy was I was wrong! Melissa empowered us with cool, classy dance moves and all the confidence required to get out on the dance floor. All of our guests loved our first dance and we will always think of it as the greatest gift as we have since practiced similar moves as guests at other weddings. We are so grateful to Melissa for her coaching and highly recommend this team to help you with your big day!! read more

We aren't dancers, so the idea of a first dance made us both really anxious. We talked about booking lessons and then somehow our wedding was so close and we hadn't done it. We booked a virtual lesson with PJ from Wedding Dance Coach at the last second and had the best time. The virtual lesson was great because we didn't have to plan travel time into our day to get to a studio and being in our own space took some of the nervousness away. Not only did PJ teach us how to do some basics, she helped us choreograph the perfect first dance, which we promptly forgot most of while on the dance floor. We were soooo nervous. It would have been so much worse without any type of lesson though, as we had no idea what we were doing. We got some spins down and a few basic dance moves. Some of our guests told us it was so much fun to watch because there was some action to it, so everybody won! I cannot recommend this team enough and booking a lesson. At the end of our lesson, PJ even got teary eyed and it made us do the same. It was magical. Seriously. The only thing I wish we had done differently was book sooner, book an additional lesson and practice a bit more (our fault for taking our lesson so close to our wedding!! The time goes so fast during planning! read more

My husband (fiance at the time) was dubious of my request to hire a dance teacher for our wedding. He didn't want some crazy choreographed dance at our wedding. But after speaking to my uncle (who accidentally started competitive dancing in samba and tango ...... ) he agreed. We were nervous about our first lesson but ADORABLE Elizabeth put us at ease! She worked with us, explaining everything in a way we could understand. We bought a 5 class package: 3 lessons together, and one each for husband and his mom and me and my dad. I only wish we had more time to work with her! Even so, in just three lessons she taught us a beautiful dance... not too much choreography... she just taught us a few different steps and how to connect them. She put a dip and even a lift in it! In the end, my non-choreographed dancing husband looked like a pro and we looked awesome on our wedding day! For the Mother-Son and Father-Daughter dances - we each had so much fun with our parent at the lesson. My husband practiced with his mom MUCH MORE than I practiced with my dad but both went of without a hitch. I was sad to have my last lesson with Elizabeth because she was just such a JOY to be around! :) read more

We worked with Melissa for our wedding first dance. We have no prior dancing experience, and we did five sessions which was the perfect amount of time to choreograph and perfect the dance. She was really attuned to creating a dance that met our vision and incorporated our personalities. She was also extremely flexible about timing as we had to change several sessions close to the wedding date. It was an absolute pleasure to work with her and couldn't recommend her more highly! read more

Taking lessons with Melissa through the Wedding Dance Coach was one our favorite pre-wedding activities. We did the "The Anti-Middle School Dance Package". It was the perfect amount of low-key prep for us, I ended up using 1 of the lessons with Dad for our dance. We felt prepared for our wedding date, but not overly choreographed. Melissa quickly picked up on the vibe we were going for! I would 100% recommend! read more

We are so grateful for Wedding Dance Coach! Elizabeth made everything easy and Troy was a terrific instructor. Would definitely recommend them to anyone who wants some practice before the big day. read more

My wife, Kelsey, and I were married on Nov. 16th of this year and had been working with Wedding Dance Coach for several months ahead of the big day. We reached out to Elizabeth, who was speedy in her replies, and very knowledgeable. She was very kind and easy to correspond with. She instantly made us feel welcomed and taken care of. Even when we had a small issue- it was immediately rectified with grace and a high-level of customer care and commitment by Elizabeth. She paired us with Dennis originally, who taught us the basic steps to a Boléro and choreographed some sequences for us to our wedding First Dance song, "Bloom" by The Paper Kites. After 3 sessions, we began working with Troy and his dance partner, Shannon. And we were told that our dance of choice was very ambitious for most couples, but that they were impressed by our skill and retention. (Of course this was incredibly flattering to hear and really pumped us up to keep digging into our lessons and learning!). Troy and Shannon worked together to choreograph our intro and finale, which was incredible! It gave it the WOW-factor. Troy was an excellent lead and a great instructor. He was able to demonstrate Kelsey's part for her, and show me what my lead should feel like, while Shannon walked me through my steps. The two of them worked together to smooth out some of our steps, so that they were more fluid and seamless, even giving us styling and flare pointers. They worked to make sure we had musical/lyrical cues for all of our steps so we wouldn't lose track on the day, if we were nervous. After all of the choreography was over, our final session with Troy was assessment and practice. We ran through our routine again and again, making sure that it looked just right. Troy was wonderful to work with and a real pro. In fact - he and Shannon provided such a lovely lesson that my new wife and I want to sign up for additional lessons to learn new dances/steps for future date nights! Thank you Troy, Shannon and Elizabeth at Wedding Dance Coach for making us looks great, and surprising all of our guests, with our first dance! read more

Neither my Husband or I felt comfortable about our first dance so I came to the conclusion that dance lessons were in order! After searching online I found Wedding Dance Coach and decided they provided exactly what we were looking for! We bought the 5 lesson package and I felt like it was a good deal. Scheduling was a breeze and they have a great email reminder system. Dennis did a great job of assessing our "skill level" (or lack there of!) and creating a dance that was easy enough even we could pull it off! Our family and friends all complimented us on our dance and what could have been the most stressed part of the evening ended up proving to be quite fun! read more

Wedding Dance Coach - First Dance! - Dance Schools Near Me - Denver, Colorado

Wonderful instructor! My husband and I hired Wedding Dance Coach for seven classes prior to our 6/25/16 wedding and are so happy we did! Our instructor was Dennis and he was so patient with us! My husband and I are...well rhythmically challenged but we wanted to be able to do more than the Jr. High style sway on the dance floor. Dennis taught us how to waltz for our first dance and how to rumba for our last dance. I'm proud to say...we nailed our dances. Our waltz actually made my grandma cry. We were so nervous for our first lesson but there was no need to be. Dennis immediately made us feel comfortable (we are both very shy) and at ease. If they can teach us to dance, they can teach anyone. Learning to dance was so much fun - we actually want to continue our dance lessons into the future just for fun. I highly recommend this company for anyone who wants to learn to dance! read more

My husband and I took 5 dance lessons with Troy for our wedding first dance, and we had the absolute best experience! Neither of us are dancers so we were VERY nervous before the first lesson. Troy immediately set us at ease with his kind, calm presence. He is also an excellent teacher and patient, positive, and enthusiastic. These lessons became the highlight of our wedding planning experience, and we received lots of compliments about our first dance! read more

Elizabeth/My Dance Coach in Boulder, CO is AMAZING!!! I hired her for both my first dance with my new husband and for my father daughter dance. I was worried about the first dance being "stale," but Elizabeth washed away my fears within minutes of meeting her! She taught us a romantic, yet upbeat dance that we loved. We each went in with two left feet and came out with a right and a left - we couldn't believe how good she made us look! For my father/daughter dance, we wanted to combine a slow song with a fun, choreographed number - Elizabeth was the right person for the job... our guests absolutely LOVED it and said it was their favorite part of the whole day. Trust me when I say, you CANNOT go wrong by hiring Elizabeth/My Dance Coach. She is fun, talented and simply wonderful. Most definitely $ well spent. Thank you Elizabeth! read more

Wedding Dance Coach - Dance Schools Near Me - Denver, Colorado

Elizabeth is an amazing instructor! In only a few short lessons she was able to help my wife and I through a few things: 1) overcoming our anxiety of doing the first dance 2) overcoming my inability to dance 3) building our confidence so that we nailed it. Not to mention she's a delight and really fun to work with. I never considered myself a dancer, by any definition, but after working with there I feel like I can hold my own now! read more

Nothing but good things to say!! Well... Except for the location, hard to find. It's kinda tucked away but worth the look! My boyfriend and myself went for wedding dance lessons. Just wanted to get more comfortable on the dance floor. We got exactly what we wanted from my first hour long private lesson. Mandy our instructor was a good fit. She helped us with our basic steps and just moving. Highly recommend! Can't wait to go back read more

We were initially hesitant to book dance lessons for our wedding because we wanted to try to save money where we could...however, we are SO happy we booked lessons with Melissa at The Wedding Dance Coach! Our dance lessons ended up being the only part of wedding planning that felt fun and stress free. My husband and I always looked forward to going to our lesson. My husband was initially hesitant because he has no clue how to dance and didn't want to look too cheesy....Melissa made him feel super comfortable and helped make our dance perfect! I ended up using the last dance lesson as one with my dad which was also really fun. We went into our wedding day confident about our first dance and not worried that we might look silly or awkward. I can't say enough good things about Melissa and if you are on the fence about dance lessons, I say go for it! You won't regret it and you'll have fun along the way! Photohousefilms out of Austin, TX captured these awesome photos of our first dance and father/daughter dance. read more

My fiance and I do NOT know how to dance, and rhythm and beat go right about our heads. But we signed up for a one-hour dance lesson with Melissa a couple of weeks before our small covid-19 wedding and had a blast. Melissa broke things downs in very basics for us and was a patient, supportive teacher. She took a video of us at the end, with her narration, so that we can practice before our wedding. We actually had FUN! Highly recommend this place. read more

Wow. What can we say? Troy was the absolute best. He took us from zero confidence, beginners shuffling across the floor to full-on dancers. We never imagined being able to have a choreographed dance that would not only make us feel amazing but also make us look so good! We never felt like we were 'not dancers' (even though we both thought we had 2 left feet!) and Troy had so much patience as we learned the moves and combinations he was teaching us. Each week he easily built on our previous lesson and helped us refine our dancing and confidence. During our first dance, we realized our nerves were making us go a bit too fast, but we were able to improvise an extra outside turn (that looked seamless) and picked right up where we needed to be! Going into dance lessons seemed like a chore, but it truly became something we looked forward to each time, and Troy was a big part of that! We learned so much more than just dancing in the process, it was almost like pre-marriage counseling too -- communication, letting the other lead, and working together! We are so thankful we found Troy and he was able to help us with the most amazing first dance. We highly recommend Troy and My Wedding Dance Coach for anyone wanting to spend quality time leading up to their wedding and having the most memorable first dance too! read more

We took 3 one-hour lessons for our first dance and it was absolutely worth it! Dennis was a great instructor and really helped us to feel comfortable on the dance floor. My husband and I have a pretty significant height difference (I'm about a foot shorter), but Dennis was able to come up with some great moves for us. I recommend starting about 3 months before your wedding, depending on how complex you want your dance to be. While our original plan was to not have a completely choreographed dance because we didn't want to look super serious and focused in pictures (Trust me, we've seen some our friends do this and it looks awful! It's your first dance, you should look happy!), the 8-9 various moves Dennis showed us really just seemed to fit well in certain places, so we just kept practicing it that way. And come the day of, we felt comfortable and just couldn't stop smiling, especially after nailing each move. Some of our friends thought we had taken a year's worth of lessons! Highly recommended. read more

Dennis is ridiculously good - neither myself nor my fiancee know much about dancing, and within a few minutes we had the beat, steps, stance, a few turns and some additional guidance from a very interested and patient teacher. This was not a first "getting to know you session" - Dennis knew our song and had a sense of what we wanted in terms of style and ability right away. We were both very impressed. read more
