Our Wedding Dance

The wife asked me to write a review because she doesn’t Unilocal.We enjoyed our four sessions with Jillian a great deal in the month leading up to the wedding. Practicing in front of other folks in the studio can be unnerving, but Jillian put us at ease and we managed to get through the process unscathed and with our four feet headed in the same direction (or generally the same direction). When the big day came, we didn’t let her down. We recommended Jillian to friends of ours who were similarly thrilled, and would do so again.

Jillian is amazing! My wife and I intended to take some dance lessons starting a few months before our wedding, but after we both got very busy at work, we realized that our wedding was only 3 weeks away and we had not yet looked into them. Although we thought that it might be too late for us to get much out of any lessons, we decided to give it a shot after Jillian assured us that 3 weeks would be plenty of time. She was definitely right!
Although neither of us had much dance experience before these lessons, Jillian was able to teach us the fundamentals of our dance as well as 5 or 6 different sequences of choreography and how to string them together in just 3 one-​hour lessons. She customized our choreography based on the song that we had chosen and she gave us all kinds of little tips along the way. Although we thought about adding a fourth lesson, Jillian felt that we were so comfortable with the dance that we didn’t need the additional lesson (it was so nice to work with someone that didn’t try to sell us on something we didn’t need!).
Working with Jillian was a wonderful experience and all of our guests were so impressed with our dance on the day of the wedding; they thought we had been practicing for months. It will be so much fun to do random date-​night dance lessons with her in the future too, which is also something she does regularly.
Thanks so much, Jillian!

Jillian is so wonderful to work with!!! She listens to your ideas, is patient and professional. Her choreography is a combination of our likes, ability and her expertise. Her attention to detail is amazing from the style of the wedding dress/groom’s attire to a step by step «flight plan» after each lesson. We loved our experience and would absolutely recommend Jillian!!!

Jillian helped my husband and I prepare a dance for our wedding and we couldn’t have asked for a more talented, enthusiastic and graceful instructor. I’m impressed that while she is a skilled professional dancer, she can be amazingly down-​to-​earth, practical, and patient about working with couples like us with a total lack of any ballroom dancing experience. The lessons became a welcome, fun break during the midst of all the other crazy wedding to-​dos. She made sure to write the steps down for us to practice at home also.
With just a few sessions of her guidance, not only did it all go smoothly, but it was sheer (nerve-​free) fun. Thank you Jillian!

My husband and I used Jill’s services to learn how to dance for our first dance at our wedding reception. Jill is an amazing instructor! She was extremely flexible with my crazy work schedule.
She is cheerful, upbeat, patient and articulate. She’s everything you would want in an instructor. I enjoyed every minute of our lesson. Jill worked with my husband and me and worked with our limitations (mainly me — two left feet and completely tone deaf). She put up with our bickering — and with a genuine smile, might I add.
She choreographed a dance based on the moves we liked, based on what we thought we can/​cannot do, etc. Jill even took in consideration the fit of my wedding dress (and that does matter!), length of my train and height of my heels. She’s very thorough. At the end of each lesson, she wrote down each step so we can practice at home. When we couldn’t get certain moves down, she would jump in and show us individually so we can see and feel how the moves are supposed to be.
I would definitely recommend Jill. She’s such a sweetheart and such a great dance instructor. You can’t go wrong with her.
Thank you sooooo much Jill! =)
