"Mia is an outstanding dance teacher! We are not dancers, and felt pretty nervous to attempt to learn a professional dance. Mia made us feel so welcomed and comfortable. She worked with us and our comfort zone, she was very warm and kind and made us feel confident and comfortable while learning something new and uncomfortable. She is passionate about dance, and is very detailed oriented, yet able to be flexible and meet the couple learning the dance at any level beginner to advanced. We have had the best experiences during the dance lessons. It quickly became one of the best and most enjoyable parts of the wedding planning process. When we went to the studio with Mia we always found ourselves laughing and enjoying ourselves. The dance routine she though us has exceeded any expectations we ever had of ourselves. We are able to confidently perform our entire wedding song dance routine thanks to Mia and her amazing skills! A fabulous 10/10 experience we highly recommend for any wedding couple looking to learn a first dance song routine. If you would like to learn to dance, and feel comfortable and have a lot of fun in the process, Mia is the instructor for you!"
