What dancers say

  • We had the best experience at Fred Astaire Dance Studios Downtown, especially working with Liza! For context, I’m a professional dancer (not in ballroom), and my partner is not a dancer—so I was nervous about finding someone who could create a first dance that was both beautiful and challenging, but still approachable for us as a couple. Liza exceeded every expectation. She’s not only an incredible dancer but also an exceptional teacher. She took the time to understand my background, incorporated my preferences and style, and still made sure my partner felt confident and comfortable. The choreography struck the perfect balance—elegant, memorable, and tailored exactly to us. Our guests were completely wowed by our first dance, and it ended up being one of our favorite parts of the wedding. We’re so grateful for Liza’s creativity, patience, and professionalism. I highly recommend her to anyone—whether you’re brand new to dance or looking for something a bit more advanced. She’s amazing!

  • Joel was a really great instructor and helped us prepare for our wedding dance on a time crunch. He met us where we were at with little experience and it made for a really fun positive experience leading up to our wedding. If you’re relatively new to dancing like me, I’d recommend the 10-class package. We only had time for 8 and 2 more would have really given me some extra confidence. I also found it difficult on busier nights to learn moves while instructors were sharing the music. I enjoyed the classes that were earlier in the morning on weekends or later in the evening on weekdays where we got to play our song on the speaker more.

  • Just finished our first dance lessons with Joel for our wedding and I can’t recommend him enough! We came in with very minimal dance experience, but he worked with us to choreograph a dance that fit with the song we chose & felt very authentic to us. He was super patient, gave great feedback, helped us change course when needed & made the experience really fun! We decided to take lessons kind of on a whim, but I’m so glad we did - this ended up being one of our favorite parts of the wedding planning process. We went from not really knowing what we were doing to confident within 8 lessons or so, and couldn’t have done it without him, so THANK YOU JOEL!! You’re the best :)
