Look no further than Brandee! She helped us choreograph our first dance for our wedding and even taught us some swing moves for our reception! Brandee really understood what we were looking for, was friendly, professional and great to work with! I thought I hated dancing and really had no idea what my now husband would think, but we had a blast. We bought the 5 lesson package and ended up doing 2 more.
Brandee was fun and meeting with her was something we looked forward to every week leading up to our wedding.

I had absolutely no dance experience until I was 26 plus I was shy.
Being a fan of the 1930s/40s swing era and always looking for a chance to sport my latest vintage dress find, I somehow got the idea to take a swing dance class.
I felt nervous and uncoordinated.
I had thoughts like, "I have no idea if I'm doing this right, " "Do I look stupid?" and "Everyone seems so much better than me."
But it was fun to move my body to music, plus learning to dance required such focus I forgot about my life stresses-I felt happier and more relaxed when I left dance class than before I went in.

Brandee was so friendly, encouraging and disarming that I quickly found myself not only trying new moves, but actually enjoying the process.
Our five lessons with Brandee were hands down the absolute best part of preparing for our wedding!

One of our bridesmaids-a dancer who's brutally honest-said our first dance was the best she'd ever seen!

Here are a few examples from the hundreds of couples I've helped prepare for their wedding dance.
