Introduction
Hello! My name is Vanessa and I have been in dance since I was a little girl. Dance is a way to express myself and I love sharing my dance knowledge with others. If you’re looking for wedding choreography or even a private lesson for you and your friends, I am more than happy to help you learn. I can teach all ages and will work with you even if you are a brand new dancer ! No worry! Being completely new to dance is exciting!
I was trained in ballet and jazz when I was younger. I have performed in dance shows in college and have also directed a dance show before.
I teach ballroom,hip-hop,musical theater and ballet. You have a group of friends that want to learn ? No problem! I will also work one on one with you.
Here are the different ballroom styles I teach: Salsa,Bachata, Merengue, Rumba, Cha-Cha, East Coast Swing, Tango,Waltz and more...

I’ve been taking private ballet lessons with Vanessa and it’s been really fun! I would definitely recommend taking dance lessons from her, or booking her for your next event. I look forward to continuing my ballet lessons!

Learning from Vanessa has been such a quality experience and far better than I could have hoped for. She is teaching me several different dance styles and I will continue to work with her to learn several more. She is great at observing, adapting, and giving feedback. Vanessa has a welcoming and encouraging personality that makes you feel comfortable to want to learn more. This has been demonstrated in Vanessa’s private lessons and her group lessons.
Feel safe to remove any doubts that would hold you back from learning from her.
She is understanding and graceful with the time she allocates to meet your needs in each lesson.
I feel confident that I am getting the best value for my time and that I have the best dancing teacher for me and I believe anyone else would feel the same way.

A huge thank you to Vanessa for making my birthday truly unforgettable! My wife, Alyssa, and I had the pleasure of taking salsa lessons with her, and we couldn’t have asked for a better experience. From the moment we started, Vanessa’s energy, patience, and passion for dance were contagious. She made learning salsa not just easy but incredibly fun, ensuring we felt comfortable and confident every step of the way.
What really stood out was how personalized and engaging she made the lesson. She tailored the instruction to our skill level, broke things down in a way that made sense, and encouraged us every step of the way. Her enthusiasm made the whole experience feel like more than just a dance class—it was a celebration!
Thanks to Vanessa, Alyssa and I not only learned some great moves but also created amazing memories together. If you’re looking for an incredible salsa instructor who can make any occasion special, Vanessa is the one! We can’t wait to dance again—thank you for making this birthday so special!

There isn’t enough to say about Vanessa. She is easy to work with, never misses a lesson, and always brings in some new moves to try. She makes you feel at home and comfortable, but also pushes you to go out of your comfort zone and try new things. Overall I’ve had a 10/10 experience, and would recommend her to anyone and everyone. She’s amazing!
