Nick was the absolute best! We came to him very last min in need of a first dance for our wedding only a few days before, and he delivered in so many ways. He was extremely accommodating and went out of his way to work with us on our schedule to help us in a bind, and made the overall experience fun and super digestible to learn. For both of us who had zero prior dance experience he made us feel welcome, confident, and good in our movements and overall routine. We came away with a beautiful routine that we were thrilled to have as our first dance. We loved our time working with him and will look to book some one off sessions as fun date nights after our big day. Can’t recommend Nick highly enough!

I cannot recommend Nick enough! He choreographed my wedding dance, and it was an absolute dream. Not only is he incredibly talented, but he also made me feel confident and enjoy dancing, something I didn’t expect. His patience, creativity, and ability to make even the most complex moves seem achievable really stood out. I’ll definitely be returning for more lessons, and I’ve already started recommending him to all my friends and family. If you’re looking for someone who truly loves what they do and can help you shine on the dance floor, he’s the one!

We had the absolute best experience working with Nick to choreograph our wedding dance! I have some experience dancing, my partner does not and Nick was able to bridge the gap in our levels of experience. Nick excels at breaking down the mechanics of dance steps and he makes them easy and fun to learn. We also really enjoyed choreographing with him, and loved this opportunity to collaborate. Overall, Nick has an amazing vibe and his teaching style is both patient and thoughtful, and we genuinely looked forward to our lessons every week. We definitely plan to continue dancing with Nick post-wedding, and we’re excited to try out his group classes too!

I loved the video you sent me! Your guests were amazed! You guys are going to go far in the dancing and I can't wait to work with you again! See ya in the fall for more lessons! Nick

Nick has been an absolute pleasure to work with over our 10+ class journey! My fiancé and I came to him with no prior dance backgrounds and he managed to choreograph (and perfect) an almost 3 minute dance routine for us for our First Dance. He was incredibly responsive, encouraging, and professional. Any request we made, he fulfilled it. He made each lesson fun yet highly productive and was able to coach both the lead and the follow roles. We would recommend him to anyone with no hesitation and we can’t wait to continue our dance journey with him after our wedding!

Details: Two (ex. me and my partner) • First dance • Foxtrot • Waltz • Slow Dance • Hip Hop • Latin • Swing Dance • What my teacher recommends • No, I do not have choreography in mind • No experience • At the pro’s location

Nick is absolutely wonderful. If you want to learn how to dance, learn from Nick! Nick helped my husband and I learn our first wedding dance. We were both apprehensive learning our first dance as neither of us had danced before, but Nick put us at ease. He gives clear and helpful instructions, and is a fun overall person to learn from. He will take you step-by-step and work with you to make you feel supported the whole way through. Nick is also very communicative and flexible with timing, which was very helpful with my husband’s and my jobs. Would recommend 10/10. Can’t wait to learn more dances with Nick!
