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 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.

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!
