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 is an exceptional dance instructor who went above and beyond to create a stunning and unforgettable first dance for our wedding. Over the course of just four sessions, she skillfully choreographed an elegant and beautiful routine that perfectly complemented our chosen song, even enlisting an audio engineer to create a custom version of our song. Tais's expertise, creativity, and passion for dance shone through in every session. Her clear instructions, patience, and encouraging demeanor made learning the choreography enjoyable and stress-free. Thanks to Tais's guidance, our first dance was a highlight of our wedding day, impressing our guests with its elegance and picture-worthy high impact moments. We cannot recommend Tais highly enough to any couple looking for a talented, dedicated, and compassionate dance instructor to help create a cherished first dance. She is a true gem in the world of wedding dance instruction, and we are forever grateful for the magic she brought to our special day.

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!

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!

We couldn't be happier with our experience with Tais as our wedding dance instructor! My partner was really nervous about our first dance since he’s not a dancer, but Tais completely transformed that anxiety into excitement. Her warm and friendly demeanor instantly put us both at ease, and her incredible talent made learning the routine an absolute joy, even with just five lessons. Tais crafted a fun, energetic, and iconic dance routine that not only impressed us but also left our guests in awe. In fact, our dance was such a hit that our guests demanded an encore, and we were thrilled to perform it again! Tais made our first dance unforgettable, and we can’t recommend her enough. Her effort and dedication to go above and beyond is something we will always cherish.
