β€œSway was one of the top-rated dance studios we came across in our search for wedding dance lessons and we were not disappointed. They had affordable dance lesson packages and our instructor, Alejandro, was amazing. From the first session we both knew that Alejandro was our guy. He was patient, flexible with scheduling, listened to what we wanted, and taught us dance moves that can go with a variety of music genres. He showed us how to β€œtalk” to each other in the language of dance, which led to us really being comfortable and having fun on the dance floor. The secret of this experience was that Alejandro knew when to focus on teaching us choreography for our wedding dance and when to shake things up with some bachata or Cha-cha. It really helped pull us out of the chaos of wedding planning. We highly recommend Sway and Alejandro if you’re just looking to have a bit of fun on the dance floor or get your wedding dance all squared away.” - S.V.
