My wife and I love to dance for fun and have decided to choreograph our first dance for our wedding. We met Vitalli and Krystyna at a wedding expo and were instantly drawn to them. They had wonderful energy and were very personable.
After attending the first introductory class, we were hooked! Krystyna is an amazing instructor, her ability to articulate and even demonstrate each step helps you understand and see what needs to be done. We leave each class very excited and encouraged knowing that our dreams of a beautiful first dance are coming true!
Not only are we getting some amazing instruction from world class instructors, they also open the studio every other Friday evening for “dance parties” which includes instruction prior to the festivities. It is so much fun. Thank you Krystyna and Vitally, you get our highest recommendation.

My husband & I wanted to choreograph a first dance for our wedding and we are NOT dancers. Krystyna has been such a great teacher and she is so fun to work with. I am shocked at how she choreographed such a fun and sleek looking routine in only a few lessons. We will certainly be back for more lessons after our wedding 😉

Q:Which is better, private lessons or group classes?
A:
We recommend starting with private lessons as they offer personalized instruction, allowing you to progress at your own pace and meet your specific goals. However, a combination of private lessons and group classes is ideal. Group classes provide a mix of partner work and basic techniques, enhancing your leading and following skills. The choice between them depends on your budget, goals, and learning style, giving you the flexibility to tailor your learning experience.
