I Highly Recommend the Salsa and Bachata Shines Class!
I’ve been taking the adult Salsa Shines (ladies dance solos) and Bachata class for over a year and I love it! This is my zen moment where I focus on learning new steps and it is a great stress reliever. Georgi is a lot of fun but he definitely teaches you the fundamentals and more finesse as you progress. Highly recommend!!

Great studio!
Professional instructors! Fun! Excited to sign up for another session!
I never thought that dancing could be so much fun!
I started taking private lessons in January in Florida. When I returned in June I continued my lessons at the Dance A Lot Ballroom Studio. It has been a wonderful experience. My instructor, Georgi, is extremely experienced and knowledgeable as well as patient. He is dedicated to improving every step I take but also makes the learning both challenging and fun. I am very pleased with the progress I’ve made in such a short time and I highly recommend this dance studio. I never thought that dancing could be so much fun!

The friendliest staff and atmosphere! As a mom I enjoyed watching my daughter dance with such a professional staff in a cozy, family friendly setting! My daughter learned some dances with ease and lots of patience from her teacher. Hoping to return to Dance A lot Ballroom ???? … My child was very nervous about dancing but Adriana and Georgi had the best approach to her beginner worries. They made her feel comfortable and worked with her at her level. Watching her confidence soar has been a pleasure to watch. Highly recommend the studio for all your dancing needs, no matter what level or age! Read Google Review I absolutely love this dance studio.

Highly Recommend This Studio!
I highly recommend Dance A Lot Ballroom Studio!
Without a doubt, my favorite part of my wedding reception was the dance Georgi and Adriana choreographed and coached us through when it was our most dreaded. These two are incredible. They took two of the most hopeless dancers and gave us confidence and beautiful memories. My husband and I do not dance at all, so we wanted to do something special for our wedding. After much searching we decided to go to Georgi and Adriana for a consultation and small session. We loved it and almost immediately decided to take one of the class packages. Georgi still advised us to take the night to think about it, and the next day we decided on the 10-class package. We only had two weeks before the wedding and they were nothing but courteous, considerate, and encouraging. They worked with our work schedule to make sure our wedding started out with a bang. Our choreography was unique and beautiful and fit our song. Even our stoutest family members were at least tearing up by the end of the dance and everyone was shocked. (Testimonial submitted on 05/14/2019) Georgi was our dance instructor and we couldn’t have been more pleased. He was funny and down to earth which made it a lot easier and comfortable during practices. We choose a mix of 2 songs. Georgi really helped us to make our dream dance come to life and didn’t push us to try moves that we couldn’t handle. He was creative and listened to our opinions. Everyone at our wedding lived our first dance thanks to Dance A Lot. They really have a passion for what they do. (Testimonial submitted on 12/05/2018) My wife and I received these dance lessons as a Christmas gift from my in-laws last year after our engagement. My wife danced when she was younger and I had never taken a dance lesson before, so there was a huge gap between both of us. Georgi sat down with us for a 20-minute conversation and was able to envision and design a beautifully choreographed Waltz. We went every Wednesday for eight weeks and in that time he was able to transform me from a novice into a decent dancer. I must admit, having not known what I was in for, our dance lessons quickly became the highlight of our week. I honestly can’t speak highly enough of Georgi and the effort that he put in, to make sure we were prepared for our dance and that everyone who went to our wedding would enjoy it. I highly recommend this dance studio to anyone who is planning a wedding dance or just trying to learn how to dance. My bride and I did not want to do the “slow turn” for our first dance. We wanted something more, something special. But there were several problems. Neither of us had any previous dance experience or lessons, there was little time (approximately 2 months) before the wedding, we were extremely busy with work and wedding planning, and we had a shortage of confidence and a surplus of fear/apprehension. Could we even learn to dance? Could we do so in such a relatively short period of time? Would whatever we might learn by necessity be so fundamentally simple that it would be simply a variation of the “slow turn”? As a result of all these problems and questions, we almost decided not to pursue lessons and just to do the safe (and boring) dance. Then, we met Georgi and Adriana! From the very first meeting, they made it a point to get to know us, both as individuals and as a couple. They listened to us and gained an understanding of our hopes for something special and our fears of not achieving it. Georgi choreographed a beautiful dance routine reflecting our personalities as well as fully completing the special song we had chosen. The moves and little details he incorporated into the dance, made us feel that it truly was “OUR” dance. They were professional, patient, understanding, and very accommodating with the scheduling. We couldn’t be happier with the result and highly recommend them! (Testimonial submitted on 11/25/2018) We had an incredible experience with Georgi at Dance A Lot! We were so disappointed after going to another (brand-name) dance studio, that wanted to give us cookie-cutter dance and group lessons. Needless to say, I was skeptical when I messaged Georgi. His enthusiasm was instantly palpable when he messaged me back. My husband and I chose a fast song, which I thought would be challenging, but Georgi asked us for our input while choreographing IN FRONT OF US. IT was so cool to watch! We got to help design our dance. He included some fun moves and some classical moves, plus two dips, a lift, and a very dramatic drop! What I loved the most about working with Georgi was that, right from our first meeting, he was really interested in getting to know us. He wanted to know how we met and got engaged, and even the littlest details of our wedding to help him create our dance. He really wanted it to feel like it was “ours.” Everyone at the wedding went NUTS. It was a huge surprise, and I loved our practices together. It really was like therapy. People say that dance lessons are marriage insurance – and I wholeheartedly agree. I really miss our dance lessons and hope we get to work with Georgi again soon. My husband (not an extravagant person) frequently says that the dance lessons were the best money we spent on the wedding. I agree. You will not be disappointed! There is a saying, “You only have one chance to make a first impression.” From the very first day we met Georgi and Adriana, we knew we met friends for life. They made our wedding dance most memorable. We told them the songs (which they had mixed) and they knew right off the bat what we were looking for. My jaw hit the floor when they showed us the dance in 5 minutes. You MUST put in the time to practice. Each session was so much fun. Tons of laughs. If Georgi wasn’t an instructor, he would be a comedian! They showed us each step in a constructive/positive manner they would correct us when need be. The wedding dance was perfect. We fooled our guests into thinking it was a normal, slow, wedding dance where the bride/groom just goes in circles. We started out that way and it blossomed into a storytelling dance based on the music (Never Tear Us Apart by INXS and La Dolce Vita by Ryan Paris). We had the BEST time that we are coming back to learn another dance. Do not cheat yourself and go anywhere else! (Testimonial submitted on 11/12/2018) Let’s just say we never thought we were able to dance like this. Georgi and his wife gave us a dance routine for our wedding that at first glimpse we did not think we could do. However, with their guidance and teaching, we were able to have the first dance of our dreams! When we were getting discouraged or stuck, they kept pushing us, letting us know we could do it. Our dance had it all, a waltz portion, one-armed lifts, and plenty of spins. Our guests all have said they have never seen a first dance like that ever. A bonus is now we are great dancers for all types of music as well! Thank you Georgi for making our special day that much more memorable! (Testimonials submitted on 11/10/2018) My fiancé and I thought it would be fun to have a choreographed first dance, even though we are not dancers. We had a trial lesson at another studio just a few months before our wedding, but we were very discouraged after they told us there was no way we’d be able to learn anything in time, and then tried to sell us a package that was well over our budget. We were very let down, but still really wanted this dance, so we decided to give Dance A Lot a try. After our consultation with Georgi and Adriana, we felt great about this choice, and they were very respectful of our budget. Not only did we learn a choreographed dance that fit our personalities but Georgi was a professional and a lot of fun to work with! Our dance lesson became our weekly date night, and was such an incredible experience! Thank you Georgi for helping us make our wedding day memorable. (Testimonial submitted on 08/22/2018) We had the best experience with this studio. We wanted to make our wedding day special and they helped us do that by choreographing an amazing first dance for us. Thank you Dance A Lot Studio for your expertise. (Testimonial submitted on 12/11/2017) Absolutely amazing! When my then-fiancé suggested taking dance lessons I jumped on the idea. Since we only had a few weeks until our wedding I had reached out to a few studios, I was instantly drawn to Georgi and Dance A Lot studio. Not knowing our skill levels we were very hesitant as to what we would be able to accomplish in such a short period of time. Our first lesson not only allowed Georgi to get a feel for our skill level and pace at which we learn but it gave us the basic essentials we would need to build our dance upon. We instantly felt comfortable and realized how much fun we were going to have. The willingness to accommodate our crazy lives was enough to be thankful for. Every week, even though I work late and we have a 3 and 1/2-year-old, we look forward to going to our lessons at Dance A Lot Studio and laughing a ton. Their understanding of how to break down the dance and make us feel like we have spent years dancing is impeccable. Taking lessons with Dance A Lot was worth more than the money. We were able to shock and impress our family and friends in an unforgettable way! I could write a 3-page review on how absolutely amazing Georgi and Dance A Lot was! What a unique and elegant way to spend as an engaged couple and to celebrate our new lives as Husband and Wife! Thank you so much from the bottom of our hearts. Taking dancing lessons at Dance-a-lot was the best decision we made related to the wedding! I always thought about surprising our guests with an unforgettable first dance but I never dreamed it could be as magical as it was. We owe it all to Georgi & Adriana! They took us from non-dancers to a couple that did dips, spins, and even lifts! Georgi was ever so patient with us and helped us understand what we were doing. He went over and over the steps in our routine until we were comfortable and our dance was polished. Georgi & Adriana are fun, talented, and professional. I would highly recommend dancing lessons at Dance-A-Lot to any newly engaged couple! By far, the best money spent! Priceless memory!!! (Testimonials submitted on 05/30/2015) Our dance lessons for our wedding were fantastic! We needed to learn a lot if choreography to be able to fill up our song and Georgi put together an amazing dance for us. We had 5 private lessons and practiced at home every night and it was perfect on our wedding day. I would recommend them 100%! (Testimonials submitted on 05/28/2017) Georgi and Dance-a-Lot were wonderful. They made my now-husband and I super comfortable from the beginning, really listening to what we wanted and what we thought about our strengths and weaknesses. Georgi choreographed a beautiful dance and helped us look like we had been dancing for years. Our guests told us that we “killed it.” Thank you for making our first dance as husband and wife such a beautiful and memorable occasion. (Testimonials submitted on 07/14/2019) I was a nervous (and busy) groom and I did not have a lot of time to learn how to dance let alone perform a choreographed piece in front of an audience. Or, at least I thought so. The instructors at Dance A Lot studio were extremely nice from the moment we walked in. My fiancé and I started with basic salsa classes. Those first classes sold me on the studio. I have tried other dance studios and the teachers change or they are not very good at teaching beginners, but Dance A Lot had three very good instructors all of whom I trusted, all of whom were nice and polite and knew how to teach beginners. They built up my confidence and I was able to practice my dance several times before the wedding, The only thing I regret is that I did not have more time to practice with them, but all of our guests were satisfied. I would highly recommend them to any couple looking for a wedding choreographer. (Testimonial submitted on 02/22/2015) Mi ahora esposo y yo habiamos dejado el baile de entrada para lo ultimo de nuestra lista de cosas para hacer para nuestra boda Quedaban solo 4 semanas y no teniamos ni un paso para nuestro baile, asi q decidi poner manos a la obra y buscar algun lugar donde pudieramos ir para que nos ayuden con la coreografia. Luego de conversar con Georgi, senti bastànte alivio al saber que estaba en las mejores manosy que el haria posible que nuestro primer baile fuera estupendo. Y ASI FUE! Tuvimos 7 sesiones con el, y en cada una de ellas Georgi demostro ser muy profesional, siempre estuvo atento a los errores que cometiamos y nos ayudo a que nuestro baile saliera lo mas perfecto posible. Realmente, si buscan a alguien para que les ayude con su primer baile, deben ir a Dance A lot Ballroom. En todo momento Georgi – nos dio la seguridad que necesitabamos para sentirnos confiados de que todo saldria perfecto. El dia de la boda, el baile fue todo un exito, los invitados amaron la coreografia y nosotros nos hemos quedado muy contentos con el trabajo que hizo Georgi don nosotros. Tanto, que estamos pensando en tomar clases con el nuevamente para relajarnos de vez en cuando, y para aprender nuevos pasos. THANK YOU SO MUCH GEORGI! you will be in our hearts forever, we are very grateful for everything you did. thanks… (Testimonial submitted on 2/12/2015) My wife and I took lessons before our wedding to prepare for the first dance – we are so glad we teamed up with Dance A Lot Ballroom Studio to help us choreograph! We took 10 lessons – partly because we wanted to refine the technique but mostly because of the fun factor – and even brought my Mom in for 1 additional session. The instructors are patient, professional, and very experienced in their art. They evaluate your skill level and tailor the dance specifically to your strengths. The final product on the dance floor the ‘day of’ spoke for itself. We felt confident and it showed, not only in the video but more importantly in the guest compliments. For the most special of occasions, it is important to do it right. Dance A Lot did not disappoint. We recommend the studio for couples looking to be prepared, display confidence, and have fun with each other while doing it. (Testimonial submitted on 10/27/2014) What started as a surprise birthday gift for my fiancé turned into a beautiful, memorable, fun dance that everyone still talks about. People who were not there saw it on YouTube/Facebook and talked about it! Georgi and Adriana helped put together a great custom choreographed dance to a song we chose. From start to finish the lessons were fun and put together in a way that we always learned more or improved what we have learned. We always looked forward to our lessons. We can’t thank Georgi and Adriana enough! It truly made our wedding that much more special! (Testimonial submitted on 10/25/2014) Dance A Lot Ballroom Studio provides the most comprehensive lesson packages for brides and grooms that you will find. Within 5-10 lessons, you will have personalized choreography that is set to your music and personalized to your skill set. And all for the best package price I’ve seen! You can feel that the instructors are passionate about dance and performance, so they know how to make sure your guests are engaged and impressed at your first dance. I had a groom that never took a dance lesson in his life, and had absolutely no interest in doing anything like this for the wedding. After the first meeting, he was excited, and after 5 lessons, he was ready for 5 more – all thanks to the instructors! They make the experience fun, creative, and inspiring for any couple. This will be one of your favorite vendors in the wedding planning process! (Testimonial submitted on 11/11/2014) Adi and Georgi choreographed a special wedding dance for our children. That dance set the tone for the entire party. It was quite beautiful. With the dancing skills that my son learned, we had an incredible Mother/Son dance to The Beatle song “I Will”. My husband and I enjoyed the presentation so much that we decided to take dance lessons. Adi and Georgi are warm, patient and extremely skillful and creative. As a result we are still taking lessons and are having a wonderful time. We highly recommend Dance A Lot for your event! (Testimonial submitted on 10/15/2014) We got married on June 1, 2014, and a month before our wedding we found Dance A Lot to prepare our first dance and a funny entrance dance. We had no experience of any kind of ballroom dancing and were nervous at first, but Adriana and Georgi made it so easy and so much fun! They are a husband and wife team and they are really good at what they do. Energetic, professional, upbeat, and funny – Dance A Lot exceeded our expectations. We went from pretty much not knowing how to move to making dips and turns and boxes… I would highly recommend them not only to everybody who’s getting married but to all couples who just want to have a fun time together and learn a few moves! These guys are the best! (Testimonial submitted on 10/14/2014) Georgi is excellent! I had so much fun learning a father-daughter dance for my wedding – I highly recommend Dance A Lot! (Testimonial submitted on 10/14/2014) Lindsay and I decided we wanted to do something special for our father-daughter dance. I got lucky when Lindsay did her research and we found Dance a Lot. Right from the beginning Adriana and Georgi made us feel comfortable and confident that we were in the right place, They choreographed both the dance and music to fit our desires and style. They truly made it a fun experience, we enjoyed every lesson. But in the end, it was the final product that counted. It was beautiful, lighthearted, and most of all enjoyable with many compliments. I look forward to going back for more. Great job and thanks for the dance! (Testimonial submitted on 10/09/2014) Dance a lot studio was a great experience for me. Georgi and Adriana are really good teachers. I believe they tried every method there is to get me to feel more sensual and comfortable while dancing rumba for our first dance. Working with them was a great experience and made me that much better of a dancer 🙂 (Testimonial submitted 10/09/2014) Georgi and Adriana did an amazing job choreographing a beautiful first dance for us. Everyone was so impressed with our dance and it was the talk of our wedding night! It is something that we and our guests will remember forever. We cannot thank Dance A Lot enough for their efforts in helping make our wedding night so special! (Testimonial submitted 11/11/2014) The whole experience was superb! As a couple who had taken dance lessons at one of the well known dance franchises, we had past lessons to compare with. My husband and I wanted to enjoy our daughter’s wedding by being active participants and not wall flowers. This time we left with sufficient skills to look decent on the dance floor and enjoy ourselves. The lessons were tailored to our needs and not the other way around as we had found in the past. In addition, Adriana and Georgi’s caring and warm personalities, not to mention their great teaching ability and knowledge of dance, made it an experience that my husband and I hope to continue. I would without reservation recommend Dance A Lot to any bride and groom as well as their parents. The lessons will add to the fun of preparing for the wedding and make the actual wedding that much more enjoyable. (Testimonial submitted on 09/28/2014) Can’t say enough how absolutely amazing an experience I had and would recommend them to any and everyone!!! My now husband decided just 2 weeks before our wedding that he would take dance lessons for our first dance. Although very short on time to learn the dance, our first dance was incredible!!! It went perfect and now we still do the dance at home once in a while because we have so much fun with it!!! (Testimonial submitted on 09/05/2014) My husband and I took a few lessons at Dance a Lot studio to prepare for our first dance at our a wedding in April. We were able to pick our own music. Georgi and Adriana came up with a unique routine for us. Initially for our wedding, we were in 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. Our first dance at the wedding went so perfectly and we could not have done it without our teachers Georgi and Adriana! They were very patient, kind, creative, and really great at explaining the moves. More importantly very easy with scheduling an appointment. (Testimonial submitted on 09/04/2014) Dance A Lot was amazing at creating our first dance. We chose an edited version of John Legend All of Me, which included the Tiesto remix. Our teachers Georgi and Adriana were wonderful with bringing our vision of our first dance to life! They made all the lessons fun and helped us learn drops and lifts we never knew we could do. Our crowd of 800 guests went crazy when they saw our dance and we received compliments all night long! (Testimonial submitted on 08/29/2014) We had the great pleasure to have worked with Georgi and his team at Dance A Lot Studio. My wife and I thought it may be a good idea to choreograph a dance for our wedding. At first we were very apprehensive and thought it might not work out. After meeting and taking a lesson with Georgi we felt very comfortable and excited about performing our dance. Dance A Lot studios choreographed our dance and taught us the steps. Our dance was a HIT! Everyone loved it and are still talking about it. The time and money we invested was all worth it in the end. Thank you Dance A Lot and I highly recommend them to anyone trying to impress their guests at their wedding. (Testimonial submitted on 08/10/2014) I am so glad that we decided to take classes at Dance a Lot Ballroom Studio,it was the highlight of the entire reception. George and Angelina helped us create a dance full of romance and drama that perfectly fit our personalities and our guests are still talking! I recommend Dance a Lot Ballroom studio 110%. (Testimonial collected on 07/14/2014) Some weddings are planned months and years in advance, but we met in December, decided to get married in February, and set the wedding date for April! About a week before the wedding we decided we really need the wedding dance. Neither my wife nor I are good dancers, but I did take some classes at Dance-A-Lot a few months earlier. So, our choice was very easy; if anybody could pull this off, it was Georgi and Adrianal And they took on the challenge. In just 24 hours they cut our wedding song and came up with the dance routine. They focused on the moves we could actually do, but also made it look very theatrical and impressive. In just a few lessons we were ready to wow our wedding guests (and we did). If you ever have a “dance emergency” (or plan your dances more appropriately), at Dance-A-Lot you are in good hands! (Testimonial collected on 07/13/2014) My fiancé and I never had any formal dance training before meeting with Adriana Bezmenova and Georgi Kanev in Dance A Lot Ballroom Studio. We reached out to George 3 months before our wedding. To say it nicely, we had no idea what we were doing on the dance floor. We booked 10 (40 minutes) sessions with hopes to just move around the dance floor without looking terribly awkward. Georgi easily exceeded our expectations of what we both could accomplish with only 10 class dance lessons. I highly recommend Dance A Lot for anything from brushing up your moves to starting from scratch – he’ll ensure that your special day is a memorable one that you will cherish forever. Definitely exceeded all expectations I originally had. Thank you George!!! (Testimonial collected on 07/03/2014) Georgi and his wife were awesome! They really took time and genuinely cared about our big day! Our first dance was magical! (Testimonial collected on 11/11/2014) Georgi designed our first dance for us! He was very patient and took his time with us! Everyone was so impressed with our first dance it brought tears to their eyes! (Testimonial collected on 11/11/2014) My fiancé (now husband) and I wanted to dance to an upbeat Sinatra song for our first dance. Georgi made our lessons fun and it was easy to learn the steps with his careful teaching. Georgi was also very accommodating with our schedules. He met with us on Sundays and also in the evenings after normal work hours. Would recommend. (Testimonial collected on 05/25/2014) My wife and I went to George to help us with our first dance routine. He is an incredible instructor, very passionate about what he does which makes learning a lot more fun, even for a novice like myself. He was also very accommodating in regards to the many time constraints that I had! Overall, we are very happy to find George; we highly recommend Dance A Lot Ballroom Studio (Testimonial collected on 05/23/2014) My wife and I had no dancing experience prior to meeting with Georgi and Adriana. We also had a tight schedule and began training only about two months before the wedding. We knew we wanted to do something more special and creative, but couldn’t come up with it on our own. DALBS did just that for us. Adriana created a mixed audio with our favorite song (Feel So Close by Calvin Harris), which then became the theme song for the wedding. They were able to incorporate a mixture of elegant slower dance choreography which then smoothly flowed into more of a club song. Georgi came up with the entire choreography on his own and it was truly amazing. Everyone was stunned and loved it. We still hear our friends and family talk about our first dance. You can find it on YouTube under Our First Dance Feel So Close. Both Georgi and Adriana were really easy to work with and were patient with us in terms of going over the choreography and going over each step in detail. It was such a pleasure to work with both of them as they saw where our strengths were and leveraged those to make the dance even more so special. I would absolutely recommend them to anyone for their First Dance, whether it be more simple and classy or creative and fancy. Our short bus commute from Manhattan was totally worth it every week! (Testimonial collected on 10/04/2013) My husband and I decided that we wanted a choreographed 1st dance at our wedding reception. We had seen a Foxtrot performed at one of Dance A Lot Ballroom’s annual performances and decided that we wanted to do a Foxtrot. We reached out to Georgi and Adriana about this, and they were more than happy to teach us. While I have had some dance experience in my past, my husband had 2 left feet when it came to dancing. Georgi and Adriana were very patient and attentive when explaining the steps in the choreographed routine. Every lesson we took, they took the time to sit with us afterwards to review what we learned during the session. After a few lessons, and lots of practice on our own, we performed our first dance at our wedding to our awe-struck family and friends. We would like to express our thanks and appreciation to Georgi and Adriana for helping to make our wedding a day that we will never forget. (Comment collected on 10/14/2013) I never had what you could call a traditional dancing skillset. My then fiancé, now wife, had us go through the motions at Arthur Murray so we would be semi-prepared to cut the smallest of rugs should the social situation ever call for it. But even after the “lessons,” I still thought that shuffling off to Buffalo was a method for ordering wings. Suffice it to say, we never bothered to do much fox-trotting since then, but at the very least, it was something of a foundation. But they just had us run through the motions. Fast forward to a rising Cape May sun that saw an engagement ring happily placed upon my bride-to-be’s finger, and I knew that a basic box step wasn’t going to cut it with the eyes of our family and friends upon us. I know that because my wife told me so. Through her online hunting skills, we found Dance-a-Lot Ballroom Studio via theknot.com. Georgi and his wife Adriana thankfully provided top-notch expertise, and amazingly, kept evening hours for multi-tasking couples that were going out of their minds with working and planning a wedding all the while. By the time we began our lessons, our experience with Arthur Murray had long since faded, and I was treating my wife’s toes the same way a baker presses dough. Because I am clumsy. Thankfully, Georgi quickly took over, and she didn’t limp nearly as much. Admittedly, we didn’t go about our lessons in the most traditional manner, but that didn’t seem to stop Georgi. While it was no easy undertaking, he set us on the fast track, providing a refresher for our foundation, and quickly expanded on it to provide us with a custom-designed dance to a song of our choosing, just as we had requested. It was a trial by fire, but Georgi came through in spades, and we’re still getting compliments on our first dance nearly a year after our reception. From having him listen to a song we chose (which was highly non-traditional), he custom designed a number that we learned, made slight adjustments to during the process, and ultimately dazzled our guests at the wedding, In short, it was everything and more we were looking for. Speaking as a man with two left feet, I have to say that, by no means was it easy. We practiced when we could, which often resulted in confused looks from our puppy. By saying that, I’m only pointing out my lack of skill, and how far things evolved. Throughout the process, they also encouraged us to attend mixers with some of their other students, some of whom were in the same boat as us. Not only did it definitely help us in our custom dance, (and speaking as a wallflower) but it was also fun. Most importantly, he had us practice parts of our routine in front of them [the audience), which helped us become more comfortable with it overall. Suffice it to say, Georgi, Adriana, and Dance A Lot Ballroom were everything and more we were looking for. They are both extremely talented and patient instructors. It was also a great experience for us as a couple to relax from all the wedding planning and do something for ourselves. We highly recommend them and you’d be foolish to pass them up. Thank you Dance A Lot Ballroom! (Testimonial collected on 11/11/2014) George and Adrianna did a great job choreographing my daughter and son-in law’s first dance. They were patient, understanding and creative from the first lesson! I put them to the test, having two left feet and no rhythm, and they got me dancing up a storm! My daughter was impressed that I was able to do a nice Father-Daughter dance with her. They are great!! (Testimonial collected on 11/11/2014) My husband and I decided we did not want to sway back and forth for our 1st dance, and so he stopped by Dance A Lot to see if we could get some dance lessons. Neither one of us had any dance experience. We had already chosen a Phantom of the Opera theme for our wedding, and our 1st dance was All I Ask of You. When Georgi found out our plan, he immediately became so excited and wanted to choreograph a dance to match the elegance of the song. My husband came home all ready to “go to the Nationals!” I laughed thinking they’ll be lucky to get me to do any steps without falling all over myself. The dance Georgi and Adriana put together was amazing; they are two extremely talented people. As we learned the dance, we saw the story unfold in our moves. I have such a great appreciation for this art after having worked with them. Our dance was the highlight of our day and we received such positive feedback from our guests. Our guests exploded with applause several times during our dance and they commented on how much fun it looked like we were having. My husband and I had a great time practicing, too. We enjoyed it so much we plan to keep dancing! If you want your wedding to have that special something that people will be talking about, consider reaching out to Dance A Lot. You will have a blast! (Testimonial collected on 10/03/2013) Pros about choosing this place (there is not really a con): 1. Affordable cost 2. Very, very friendly owners/instructors 3. Flexible time – they’ll try to work around your schedule; me and my husband always went there after work or on the weekends (we both work in the city, but the instructor Georgi was always strived to work around our schedule whenever he didn’t have to practice for his competition.) 4. Amazing Choreography: I specifically requested for the genre I would like to dance with, Georgi suggested a few songs- I picked one I liked the most – and then he created the completely new choreography on site! It was very simple, yet with all amazing movements! We did Foxtrot for LOVE by Natalie Cole. Result: All our guests were amazed and many of them recorded our dance from all different angles saying that they’ve never seen any first dance like that- they still talk about it. (sorry Georgi, I wish I could share the videos, but my friends all posted them on Facebook and I have no clue how to download them from Facebook to give to you.) Of course people focus more on Food and DJ when they typically go to the wedding, but we’ve been told by so many people that taking the classes was so worth investing and that our first dance was the best dance they’ve ever seen!!! (Testimonial collected on 10/02/2013) My husband and I were really time strapped while planning our wedding, so we were only able to take two hour-long classes with Georgi. He utilized the little time we had to choreograph a dance for our wedding song that was simple enough to learn and master but that looked impressively complicated to our guests. People were clapping during our first dance! Georgi was extremely patient, attentive and truly wanted to see us succeed. We couldn’t be happier. (Testimonial collected on 09/30/2018) For our wedding we thought it would be nice to choreograph our first dance. Neither my now husband or I know much about dancing and were a little skeptical about going to a dance studio. However, when we went for our wedding consultation and trial we were hooked! Georgi was such an amazing instructor. He was patient, listened to what we were looking for and came up with a beautiful dance that fit our style. We kept it a secret to everyone at our wedding except for immediate family and boy were they surprised! We started off with the typical clench and sway to make it look like it was going to be a normal dance, but then we got into it and everyone was hooked. We received compliments the entire night and even had friends that are getting married ask where we went to take lessons. After that we were able to use some of the moves we learned at future weddings too. Not only was the performance memorable, but the experience of taking lessons was as well. It was something we looked forward to every week which helped us to relax and enjoy ourselves during the stress of wedding planning. If I had to do it all over again I would and I would highly recommend Dance a Lot Ballroom studio as the place to do it! (Testimonial collected on 06/16/2015) My husband and I cannot say enough how thankful we are that we took dance classes- especially at Dance A Lot. Our dance teacher, Georgi, was so wonderful and nice and he made us feel so comfortable! He took his time teaching us and really listened to us. He took into consideration what we liked and what we didn’t like, and was able to create the most perfect routine just for us. We loved working with Georgi and had so much fun with him! Our first dance was perfect! We did a fox trot and hands down- in all honesty, the dance was our most FAVORITE part of our ENTIRE reception! Everyone was talking about it weeks after our wedding…including us. Our first dance was truly special, memorable, fun, and unforgettable. Advice for future brides and grooms out there-definitely check out Dance A Lot Ballroom- you will not be disappointed! In all the chaos of planning and stress, work, life….. My husband and I look back and always say we loved that special time together. Even though we were at practice- it didn’t feel like it. You’re doing something together and it’s all about just you two for those 45 minutes. It’s so nice. (Testimonial collected on 06/16/2015) Georgi and his wife Adriana were able to transform us from complete newbies into dancing “masters” within a few weeks. We had a song in mind which Adriana remixed to accommodate for more of a choreographed dance. They created a completely original choreography matching the moves with the lyrics in the song. It was brilliant and beautiful. Everyone at the wedding was really impressed and totally did not expect it. We will be forever grateful to Adriana and Giorgi for this special experience!

Thank goodness we did because we had an amazing experience and our first dance was superb! It was simple but Georgi managed to transform our routine into a memorable dance that had several transitions from Rumba to Swing utilizing various steps of each style. Our guests loved it! We have continued to take dancing lessons so we can learn new styles and enjoy our new dancing skills when we go out. If you want to have a different and stunning first dance, no need to look anywhere – just contact Georgi & Adriana and you will have an unforgettable experience ever… (Testimonial collected on 10/08/2013) Georgi spent many lessons with my now husband & I. He created such a fun first dance for us based on our level of ability. We did East Coast & West Coast Swing as well as Foxtrot to Better Together by Jack Johnson. We had a great time learning the dance & an even better time performing it. I believe our first dance was the most talked about moment at our wedding. Georgi also helped my father & I with our first dance. Although less choreographed, we had some basic Rumba & Swing steps to work with and that dance was a great deal of fun as well. If you want to do something more than rock back & forth with your honey, I highly recommend taking some lessons & wowing your guests with a beautiful first dance! (Testimonial collected on 06/07/2013) I had such a wonderful time working with Dance A Lot Ballroom on my wedding dances! Georgi and his wife Adriana were amazing teachers, and genuinely cared about the success of our dances. Even though my husband and I had no dancing experience, they were able to teach us a unique and sophisticated first dance in only a few weeks. They also helped us choose songs for our father/daughter and mother/son dances, and then created a dance for those as well. People at the wedding were absolutely amazed and said it was like watching “Dancing with the Stars.” I can’t say enough good things about Georgi and Adriana, and would definitely recommend them to anyone! (Testimonial collected on 08/07/2013) My husband and I attended a wedding and watched the bride and groom stand in place and sway back and forth for three long minutes. BORING! We decided then and there we would make our first dance fun, memorable and entertaining! Georgi and Adrianna were fantastic dance instructors. The first time I spoke with Adrianna on the phone she asked for some details about the wedding we were planning. While keeping the theme, venue and my ball gown in mind, we were able to determine that performing a fox trot to Frank Sinatra would be the perfect first dance for us. Neither of us had any ballroom dancing experience but Georgi and Adrianna have a strategic and comprehensive teaching method! Georgi choreographed every move so that it flowed perfectly to the music! Thank you Georgi and Adrianna for making our first dance so special and memorable for us and our guests!! Not only are Georgi and Adrianna talented dance instructors but they are also wonderful people and I had a lot of fun working with them =) (Testimonial collected on 10/02/2013)Our Wedding Dance Was Unique and Beautiful!
