Richard was so helpful and fun to work with on the choreography for our wedding first dance. We took 3 lessons with him and he really helped us create a special moment for our wedding. Not only did he make sure we got the steps right, he helped each of be more comfortable and confident in our dancing. He was thoughtful, knowledgeable, and fun to work with. We’d highly recommend working with Richard!
We went to the dance loft for our wedding dance practice and had an amazing experience - would highly recommend! We took lessons with Richard who was incredible. He is able to tailor the moves to your skill level and is really thoughtful about the choreography. And he made the lessons fun! We did 5 lessons which was perfect for us (not dancers and doing a 2 minute medium upbeat dance). Would absolutely recommend Richard and the dance loft!
We took several dance lessons with Summer and we had the best experience! We were ready for our first dance and had some of the most amazing pictures and videos. We highly recommend the Dance Loft! Summer recorded our dances and we were also able to practice at home. She listened to our feedback and was able to incorporate some unique and special moves that made our day special! It was 100% worth it and so fun!
I highly recommend Richard Horner at the Dance Loft! He choreographed a beautiful couples dance for my wedding. My husband hates dancing and had no experience but Richard taught with patience and encouragement. We only went to 5 lessons yet our routine was 3 minutes long! We ultimately felt confident and nailed our routine at the wedding- didn’t miss a step! Those dance lessons were my favorite part of the entire wedding preparation journey. We feel so grateful and lucky that we found Richard!
My husband, James, and I took 10 dance lessons at SF Dance Loft to prepare for our wedding in Uluwatu, Bali, on October 26, 2024—and it was absolutely magical! We are so grateful to the incredible team at SF Dance Loft, especially our instructor, Richard. His guidance, creativity, and patience were unmatched as he helped us create a beautiful choreography to our song, “I Knew I Loved You” by Savage Garden. Neither of us had any prior dance experience, and it probably wasn’t the easiest song, but Richard’s expertise made the entire process not only enjoyable but also a deeply meaningful part of our wedding preparation. The lessons brought us closer as a couple, and thanks to Richard’s thoughtful teaching, our first dance turned out beautifully. Dancing confidently in front of 70+ guests (even in the Bali humidity!) was a testament to how much we improved with Richard’s help since our first class. No one could tell how cringe we were when we first started unless I showed them our practice video. Our guests were blown away! We wholeheartedly recommend SF Dance Loft to anyone looking for dance lessons. Whether you're preparing for a wedding or simply want to try something new, this is the place to go! Thank you again for such an unforgettable experience.
