Introduction
I am a dance instructor who specializes in wedding dance and social partnered dances (salsa, bachata, etc). I pride myself in offering a personalized experience. By booking with me, you gain the flexibility that is hard to find at franchise-style dance studios. I promise to work with you and your specific requests! See my business FAQ's section for detailed description of my process for working with each type of client, as well as a list of all dances I teach. A bit about me - I started dancing in Ukraine at the age of 5. Upon moving to the United States in 2014, I have been working with a wide range of clients here ever since. I have over 7 years of teaching and training experience. I am continuously updating my skillset to stay current in my work. I am a highly qualified, well recognized instructor in my field. I take a very different approach with each type of client depending on their personal needs. I look forward to working with you very soon!

Tais truly brought the vision of our dance to life!! We chose Tais over other well known wedding dance companies due to her ability to understand our vision and taking a unique approach to bring it to life, taking into account our base skill level, athleticism, and the energy we wanted to convey in our first dance. Tais was always extremely professional and was flexible to work with our feedback to find the right moves for our dance. In the end, the dance itself was incredible and the experience of learning a dance together is something my husband and I look back on as a highlight of the wedding. We look forward to working with Tais again in the future for dance lessons!

My now husband and I had the privilege of taking dance lessons with Tais Zhukova for our wedding first dance. Over the course of about 5 lessons, Tais choreographed the perfect dance for our abilities and to our selected song. Neither of us had much dance background, and Tais was always patient and willing to work with us until we mastered the choreography. She herself is an incredibly talented dancer and is able to break down each move to make it easy for anyone to learn. Tais made each class fun and enjoyable, and my husband and I genuinely looked forward to each lesson. Our first dance turned out perfect and exceeded all expectations! Overall, such a great experience and would recommend Tais to any couples!

Tais was an absolute pleasure to work with! We decided to add a dance to our wedding just three days before the big day, and Tais went above and beyond to make it happen. She not only made us feel comfortable but also gave us the confidence to truly enjoy our moment. She even rearranged her own flight schedule to accommodate us, which speaks volumes about her dedication. Our dance turned out to be a highlight of the wedding, and we received so many compliments on it! We highly, highly recommend Tais to anyone looking for a skilled, caring, and accommodating dance instructor!

Tais is an amazing instructor! She was super professional and responsive when we asked her to help us with our wedding dance choreography. I felt like I could bounce ideas off her and she was very attentive and tried to understand exactly what we were looking for. Tais helped my husband and I execute a dance that we both loved and felt comfortable with. Highly recommend!
