We are having a wonderful time learning our first dance with Olga. We make so much progress each lesson and she is patient and great with explaining all of the steps. And we’re having so much fun doing it too! Olga is super responsive and setting up our schedule has been completely seamless. I highly recommend her!

Olga quickly helped us gain confidence for our first dance at our wedding reception, working with us on a tight timeline to get our steps down. In our first lesson with her, she selected a dance style that fits our song, taught us its basic steps, and taught a few extras like our entrance and a turn & dip for the end. Olga broke down her instructions in a way that made sense and fit our pace for learning. After one lesson, we were able to practice the entire dance on our own and continue to improve. Olga made it easy to get in touch and schedule lessons, and she even came to our apartment which made it very convenient for us.

Details: Two (ex. me and my partner) • First dance • What my teacher recommends • Waltz • No, I do not have choreography in mind • No experience • My home, venue, etc. • At the pro’s location

Olga was extremely responsive. I wanted to have a quick dance lesson last minute since I’m visiting New York and she answered me right away even though it was 10pm when I texted her. She’s extremely talented and accommodating to all skill level. Our session went extremely well and I would definitely hit her up again next time I’m in NYC

Details: 26-35 • One person (one-on-one with instructor) • Bachata • Intermediate • Preparing for an event / performance • 60 minutes • As recommended by professional • My home, venue, etc.

Olga is amazing!!! We wanted to try one session to see what it was like. She's friendly, down to earth, and patient. When we can (we live in NJ) we're going to come back to her to choreograph our wedding dance 💖🥰

FAQs

What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?
My pricing system is very simple. I have free Facetime/Skype/Google Hangout INFO sessions where students get a chance to meet with me face-to-face and get a feeling about working together, determine the best options in terms of training and schedule and get all the answers to any questions. Single classes of 60 minutes as well as packages of 3 and 5 online or in-person lessons are available. In-person classes are taught at your facilities within Manhattan area or at a rental studio for additional fee determined by the studio. All classes are taught in complete privacy. I am fully vaccinated, wearing a mask and prioritize safety. Feeling like saving cost YET not compromise quality? Take my Online Wedding Dance Course starting September 7th 2021. Learn the basics of swing, foxtrot and rumba as well as the final "dip"; learn how to match a dance to the song of your choice, how to lead and follow and receive exclusive tips on how to memorize the steps and master your first dance.
What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
First it is important to listen what the potential student desires in terms of lessons and what goals have been set, next we discuss the best way to achieve them and determine the schedule that fits my client and their budget.
What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
I have been a professional dance athlete for 27 years. I won multiple world champion titles, national champion and open to the world champion titles for Germany before relocating to the United States. I founded my first dance company in 2014 after working at one of the best dance studios in Manhattan and have taught hundreds of wedding dance couples preparing them for their big day. I choreographed, taught and produced halftime entertainment dance performances for the NBA and NHL games. In addition, I have been featured in multiple TV projects such as Say Yes To The Dress on TLC as Wedding Dance Instructor.
