My daughter's wedding was 5 months away and it is tradition for my immediate family members to perform a dance routine for the celebrants--we have done this 4 times, since 2004, for 3 weddings and a 60th birthday. I was in search of a choreographer to teach 18 people 4 different dance routines! After evaluating a number of dance studios, based on their reviews, experience and fees, I was fortunate to find Kyoko Jennings. A sweet and enthusiastic professional dancer who majored in Dance at UCSD and competes nationwide. She specializes in latin and hip hop, and could probably do everything in between after seeing her Instagram. Kyoko offered several packages and her Diamond package fit us best. Very reasonable compared to the other choreographers and included 30 lessons! The package even included private lessons where she taught at my home for ~4 months then we went to the studio when we got closer to the wedding date. My husband and I wanted to learn a cha cha routine and boy did Kyoko deliver!!!! She was patient, considering my and my husband's beginner to intermediate skills and with her creativity and vision, she took the time and taught us a brilliant routine that exceeded my expectations. I firmly believe we were able to execute because of her skills, encouragement and motivation. A born teacher. I totally loved the cha cha routine, it wasn't boring, nor too basic, enhance the cha cha with our hips and have fun with it! There were 16 additional family members to teach 2 additional routines to, a for a father/daughter dance and a group NSYNC hip hop routine. Kyoko knocked the routines out of the park! Each routine was thoughtfully choreographed step by step, effervescent whole body dance moves! She challenged us and we appreciated it and so did the crowd! My most favorite was my daughter's dance with her dad, it was so classy and lovely, I was so moved and got so teary eyed. She offers the option to dance with other choreographers to assist with technique and an opportunity to work with other choreographers, for example Anthony fine tuned my and my husband's cha cha moves. Kyoko also has a professional mixer who put our 3 different songs together magnificently. Kyoko is open to ideas, flexible and adapts to your level but also challenges you if you are up to it. Kyoko is all about quality and she cares about her work. We loved the every minute with Kyoko and are forever grateful to her. Cheers Kyoko 🍾🫶🏼😊.

Kyoko is such a joy to work with! My husband and I worked with her for private dance lessons, and then also had her choreograph our first dance for our wedding. She was incredibly patient with us, listened to our concerns, and created the most beautiful dance for us. We received so many compliments not just from our guests, but also the vendors and staff working the wedding, who had nothing but great things to say and said it was the best first dance they’d ever seen! We were so nervous but had practiced so many times that it just turned out perfectly when it came time to perform. Not only that, but Kyoko and one of her instructors also held a bachata lesson for our wedding guests and everyone had a blast! We are still receiving compliments on how much fun that was and how they’d never seen that at a wedding before. It got everyone up and on the dance floor and smiling and having fun. Thank you, Kyoko!

My now wife and I, chose Kyoko for a signal dance lesson before our Wedding. Within a couple seconds of her hearing our first dance song she had very simple and elegant dance. Kyoko made every step and transition easy with no confusion.
