Katie was absolutely amazing! We decided to do the 8 dance class package and couldn't have been happier with our first dance! She was a pleasure to work with and an amazing instructor! Highly recommend!

Katie was awesome! She choreographed our first dance and it looked amazing. She was super helpful and easy to work with. We had no dance expierence and she taught us everything we needed to know. We tried out a couple of different dance instructors and she was the best by far. Highly recommend!

My wife and I had such an amazing time working with Katie at The First Dance Place. She perfectly choreographed our first dance for our wedding, and broke things down into approachable steps, so that each lesson built off the lesson before. We absolutely crushed our first dance, and had so much fun in the process. I highly recommend using The First Dance Place!

Working with Katie was so much fun. She helped up come up with a mashup for our first dance. We looked forward to all of our dance lessons! Our first dance is truly something we will remember forever. One of our favorite parts of our wedding and had so much fun with this. We highly recommend Katie!
