NY Wedding Dance

we had Stine choreograph our wedding dance. Had a package of 6 which ended up being good for us. She was really great. Very friendly and a great instructor. She had her work out for her with us, but we pulled it off. I would definitely recommend NY Wedding Dance and working with Stine!

We had our song selected and took 2 lessons prior to the wedding in order to prepare for the dance here. Both of us had very limited prior formal dancing experience and Gail was great in teaching us the basics steps as well as developing an individual routine for us. From the beginning we felt that Gail listened and understood immediately what we were looking for and helped us to get there. Would definitely recommend as we had an excellent experience here!

We had a fantastic experience thanks to Andrew and Gail at NY Wedding Dance. We started our classes a few months before our wedding, both without any prior dancing experience. Andrew taught us a great choreography that wowed the guests while we really enjoyed ourselves dancing. We had a steep learning curve and enjoyed every class! We highly recommend NY Wedding Dance to anyone who is looking for great teaching in a fun and relaxed environment.

Thank you to Stine for choreographing and teaching us such a beautiful dance. She took my husband from terrified to confident. We even did two lifts! Stine was patient, thorough, and most of all, fun. Our dance went so well and the day was simply magical! It went off without a hitch and everyone loved it! The entire learning and rehearsal process was fantastic. Highly recommend.

Thanks to Andrew for all his help. He really got us to work within, or perhaps a little beyond, our abilities and made sure that the first dance prep was not a stressful experience… I don’t think we could have handled any additional stress around the wedding.
NY Wedding Dance is professional yet very personal. I wish all of our wedding vendors were as easy to work with.

Stine was awesome! After she helped us pick a song (Can’t Take My Eyes off You) she choreographed a dance for us. In just a few weeks we — two rookie dancers — were ready for the big day. In between our meetings we would often e-​mail Stine with questions and she would always get right back to us. Our wedding was a blur, but one thing I remember is the lead singer of our wedding band coming up to me and saying «that dance was awesome» and it was. Thank you, Stine!

I have Unilocal to thank for introducing me to NY Wedding Dance. All the stellar reviews + the super quick response time of the staff to my inquiries sealed the deal.
My husband and I were married in August, and Jason was our dance instructor. While I’m terrible follower and my husband has a hard time with rhythm. Jason was so patient and so kind, and choreographed a dance that suited our skill level (or lack thereof). We fooled everyone at our wedding – they thought we knew what we were doing!
I give NY Wedding Dance my highest recommendation. Everyone there was the perfect combination of professional and super fun. If they ever started group lessons we’d be the first to sign up.

We had a great time here. 5 stars. the space was cool, the people were great, talented and patient (we had Amy). Even though the dance is a large part of our wedding, the classes were so much fun they felt like a very welcome break from the planning. We’ll take other classes after. Thanks!

NY Wedding dance is fantastic!!! My wife and I had an amazing experience with NY Wedding Dance in general and our instructor, Gail B., in particular.
We can not recommend Gail highly enough. She is an outstanding dance teacher … knowledgeable, patient and friendly. She is a true expert and professional. She made learning our first dance almost effortless and certainly a lot of fun. We combined two songs (Etta James’s «At Last» and Barry White’s «You’re the First, the Last, My Everything») with different tempos and styles. Our guests loved the first dance. At our wedding reception, the band made a few small errors, but we were confident enough to adjust and received many complements from our guests.
We found our dance lessons a fun and exciting break from wedding planning and looked forward to each class. We started with a 6 class package, which is sufficient, but took a few extra classes just because we enjoyed it so much.
Definitely a five star experience!!!

My husband and I can’t say enough wonderful things about our experience at NY Wedding Dance. It was by far the best part of the entire wedding planning process.
First, what a great date night idea! My then-​fiancé and I had so much fun learning to dance together. We challenged Jason with a non-​traditional song («White Dress» by Ben Rector) and he completely outdid himself. Over our 13 lessons together, Jason was able to incorporate all of the elements we wanted into the dance.
Second, our first dance ended up being absolutely amazing! We felt so confident walking into the ballroom at our reception and our guests can’t stop raving about our dance. It was everything we had imagined and more.
Thank you to Jason and Gail at NY Wedding Dance– you’ve created such incredible memories for us that will last a lifetime!

This place and Eva are the best! My wife and I took a few lessons here to prepare for our first dance at our wedding last fall and it was a success. Our dance instructor (Eva) was amazing, kept it light and made it fun. It is a very private studio setting and they are extremely flexible and let you work at your own pace. We were able to pick our own music and Eva made it very easy. We actually looked forward to since it’s difficult to find that quality time with work and in the middle of planning a wedding. I would highly recommend this to anyone looking to prep for a wedding, touching up their skills or just for fun. Thanks again Eva and whole crew at NY Wedding Dance!

Our first dance at the wedding went so perfectly and we could not have done it without our teacher Amy! We could not have asked for a better instructor. Initially for our wedding, we were on the fence as to whether we would do dance lessons. I would say it was definitely one of the best things we decided to do. It gave us so much more confidence and not to mention some great moves that we would not have managed otherwise. We did a package of 6 classes and it was absolutely worth it. Everyone at the studio was so nice & accommodating.

Amazing!!!
— Easy to set up appointments (plus you get a little meeting invite email reminder)
— The team makes it a priority to get to know you — every time we come in, our teacher or the manager asks how we are doing and really works to build a friendship while we are a student there.
— Our instructor, Amy, is the definition of easy going, gives thoughtful tips throughout the lessons, and helped us talk through pros and cons of a few different songs
This place is great! It is THE best part of our wedding planning and well worth it. I recommend a five class package — can’t really cover a lot in one 45 min meeting.

This business is very familiar to me. As an independent dance instructor I have been renting the space of NY Wedding Dance for 3 years now.
This is what I have to say:
The space is absolutely gorgeous — best kept secret in NYC!
Couples that come to prepare their special wedding dance not only get to be in a privacy of a personal dance space but also have most friendly and knowledgeable instructors who take them step by step towards their dream choreography.
Staff members (Gail, Aldo, Andrew) are super helpful — whenever I book a space for myself — they are always on top of the schedule and return my calls within an hour most of the time.
Can I recommend this place for learning social dance and more?
ABSOLUTELY YES! I wouldn’t be here for 3 years if I didn’t think working in this environment is perfect for me…

Oh me oh my — boy did we have fun here! The stress of planning a wedding creeps up on even the most organized amongst us (yep that includes me) and if nothing else NYWD know how to take it all away. Well, let’s give them credit where credit is due — not only do they do that but hey presto after ten lessons even the most left footed men out there will be able to waltz/​boggie/​jive like a pro.
We worked with Joey — always smiling and with a new joke a lesson to relieve the tension and remind you why it is you’re going through all the spreadsheets, vendor checks, etc in the first place. Our song was Wonderful World by Sam Cooke, initially I would have been happy with a plain old boring two step but Joey threw in twists, turns, a drop and slides galore.
The takeaway: it isn’t cheap but then neither were those private Pilates lessons or the floral table centers. With hindsight this warrants the same attention and budget planning you would give to one of the more obvious items on the wedding check list because the first dance (and the whole dance lesson experience) is something you’ll both remember and treasure for years to come.

We took dance lessons here with Joey. He was an incredible instructor and was able to construct an amazing dance. We loved working with him and his knowledge of our type of music was fantastic. He was very creative and knowledgeable, which lead to an awesome dance! In the end one of our guests most memorable moments were our first dance!

The two of us have four left feet, yet some how the folks at NY Wedding Dance managed to teach us :-) Our instructor was very patient and kind, and more importantly, she was REALLY GREAT at explaining the moves to us, trouble-​shooting when we messed up (which was like, all the time), and showing us tips/​tricks to remember the steps. Seriously, she is an amazing teacher and should transform the nation’s math/​science teaching or something. Thumbs up, and thank you to NY Wedding Dance for preventing us from looking like idiots!
