Ava helped my husband and I with our first dance, and it was a great process! We are not dancers and were feeling pretty nervous about dancing in front of all our friends and family. Ava choreographed a dance for us that was simple and helped us feel confident. She demonstrated each step carefully and made us feel comfortable the whole time. We would highly recommend Ava to anyone looking for help with their first dance!
Ava was incredible! We were so lucky to work with her this past Fall. She choreographed and taught us our wedding first dance over 4, 1.5 hour sessions. She was patient and direct, and easily taught to our ability level. We both felt confident on our big day and our dance turned out beautifully. Would highly recommend working with Ava if you're looking for a first dance coach!
We're a couple with four left feet, so we were quite intimidated by the first dance, although we knew we wanted to do one (we had such a great song picked out for it...) Ava was great at patiently teaching us some basic dance steps, and then created some custom choreography, at our level, that was memorable and looked great! In the videos we look like we know what we're doing, and that's thanks to Ava's excellent instruction. Even better, we now have some basic dance skills we can keep leaning in on at future events, or whenever there's some great music going!
My husband and I did a few dance lessons with Ava to get ready for our first dance. Ava choreographed a simple but beautiful dance for us and made each lesson fun and engaging. She has a calm and welcoming demeanor and really helped us both build our confidence. I highly recommend working with Ava for any dance or wedding dance needs. My husband was skeptical of the whole thing and ended up loving our lessons and dancing together, and my Grandmother said our dance was her favorite part of our wedding day!
We worked with Ava on our wedding dance and had a wonderful experience. Ava taught us many partner sequences and lifts to use in our dance. I came from a ballet background while my husband had very little dance experience. Ava taught us with patience and in a way that matched both our levels of understanding. I also came with my own ideas for choreography and Ava helped us build on them and make them look good. By the end of 5 sessions we felt performance-ready! We received so many compliments from our friends and family on our wedding dance. We can't thank you enough, Ava!
