Paul & Julianne Daniells were just such a complete pleasure to have as dance instructors for our wedding. (Juan and I are both non-Dancers, and in a handful of lessons, they helped us choreograph and gave us moves and tools to shine during our wedding first dance). We got so so many complements - thank you guys! I only wish we'd started sooner. Their love of dance and ability to teach green thumbs like us is so beautiful! I now love social dancing and can't wait to see Dancewise again with my new husband during a Saturday Night Social!

I have taken a few lessons here and am totally enjoying it! The biggest difference is there are no contracts and you can do as little or as much as you want. Fun! This owner operated school is located in the heart of Phoenix at 7th Street and Missouri. There is a Bashas there. The studio is tucked back in the corner, but easy to find. New dance floor and friendly professional staff make this a real gem of a dance school. They have fun group classes and dance nights too. Ask for the monthly calendar of classes and events.

Words cannot describe how incredible my experience was with DanceWise Dance Studio. I was on a quest for the perfect dance studio to help me and my dad come up with a surprise father-daughter dance for my wedding. We simply selected a song, and they took care of the rest. Julianne was creative, patient and such a joy to work with each week. My dad and I practiced with Julianne about 8 times, and when it was our time to shine, we executed perfectly! Our choreographed dance was one of the highlights of the entire wedding! This local dance studio is professional, friendly, affordable and welcoming to all levels of dancers. My dad and I would recommend this studio to anyone!

Julianne was our dance instructor for 7 sessions before our wedding, and we are forever grateful to her! My husband went in not knowing how to dance, and by the time our wedding came around, we had a full first dance with spins, lifts, and dips. Definitely recommend dance lessons to any couple nervous about their first dance. Plus, it was such a fun bonding time during the pre-wedding crazy season. Thank you so much Julianne!

Julianne and Paul (the owners and lead instructors at DanceWise) are wonderful! They create a friendly fun environment. A lot of dance studios will charge an arm and a leg and pressure you to buy dance packages for a lot of money, that never happens here. There is no used car salesman pressure. They are professional and kind and know how to build a dance family. I'm doing my first showcase, after having two more spinal fusions 😁 and I couldn't be happier. Thank you Julianne and Paul, I adore you! 💜
