★★★★★Vicky G.Me and my partner have been taking wedding dance lessons with Jack and he is wonderful to work with! He taught us choreography and timing so we can look like pros in front of our friends and family. I have zero dance experience and he made me feel very comfortable and had me cracking up laughing the whole time. Absolutely worth the money!!
★★★★★Stephanie JacobsMy partner and I started attending this studio for dance lessons a couple months ago and have had the most wonderful experience. All the instructors and staff are so kind and welcoming - they've fostered a wonderful environment for newbs like us to learn and progress! Excited to continuing coming for the foreseeable future!
★★★★★Elizabeth HawkinsThe friendliest dance studio in town! The community of dancers is welcoming to new dancers still figuring out their 2 left feet and experienced dancers alike. Very reasonable prices and fantastic teachers! I love dancing here 🥰
★★★★★Madeline BussI cannot stop raving about Jack and Rachel and the amazing, beautiful work they do. My fiance and I took Rachel's classes through PSU, and after graduating kept in touch with more of her classes and Argentine Tango dance nights. We reached out on a whim to see if she and her husband would be willing to come and teach an intro dance lesson at our wedding reception, and it is possibly one of the best decisions we made while wedding planning. Not only are they wonderful, incredible people, but they are amazing dancers and even better teachers. Having them there to teach dances and lead during our reception was a game changer. It wouldn't have been nearly as fun, lively, or involved without the two of them. They went 100% above and beyond. I am so grateful for the incredible work they did, and our guests all raved about them! (photos by Hereafter Photography)
★★★★★Anna MarumIf you are planning your wedding and looking for dance lessons, I cannot recommend this studio enough. We nailed our first dance in front of 80+ guests, and had so much fun. Rachel is a fantastic teacher, and so kind, positive and patient. We took several private dance lessons with her and her husband Jack (also a wonderful teacher) in the months leading up to our wedding, and the lessons quickly became the best part of wedding planning. We had never really danced much before this, but we had the basics of a routine down after our very first lesson. Highly recommend!
