Dance with Nick Lau

Following is based on a true story. My fiancé and I found nick on Unilocal one week prior to the wedding. We contacted nick after calling several places and we didn’t regret at all. He was flexible and squeezed us in for same-​day appt.
Instead of jumping into teaching dance moves, he spent a great deal helping us understand what dancing is especially in the context of two people who are about to tie knots. He brought me and my fiancé even closer together with his professionalism, passion, and great amount of patience after each lesson. He can trouble shoot and comes up with creative ways to make sure that the couple is dancing to their potential.
Due to limited amount of time, practicing dance was next to impossible with all the last minute wedding planning. But Nick found a magical way to break down the song and make sure that our first dance will showcase love we have for each other through movements. During our first dance, we both felt comfortable and had a blast dancing because Nick taught us how to fall in love with song and that dancing is just like «walking». Thank you, Nick.

My wife and I got married exactly one month ago today, and we’re finally just starting to get settled in enough to take a step back and breathe. Our wedding was planned in just under 6 months, my wife lived in SoCal until after the wedding, and I had just started a new job, so we had extremely limited time together to plan a wedding — let alone learn a first dance. It was two months before the wedding when we realized we hadn’t even started to figure out what we were going to do for this, and that’s when we found Nick Lau. We booked three back-​to-​back-​to-​back two-​hour sessions in one weekend, Fri-​Sun, and that’s literally all the time we could manage to squeeze in, but Nick worked his magic and somehow made it work. He taught us just how to dance the first session so that we had a good feel for just moving and to prep us with some basic steps that would come in to play later. Over the next two sessions he choreographed our first dance such that it was catered to us, and created a miracle in teaching it all to us in those four hours we had together. We had spins, we had a lift, we had dips, we had it all, and on wedding night, we surprised everyone and left everyone in awe, including ourselves. Our wedding wouldn’t have been the same without that dance, and the dance wouldn’t have happened with Nick Lau.

My husband and I got married in April, and Nick taught us our first dance. Despite us starting a little late in the game (about a month and a half before our wedding), Nick got us super comfortable with our dance, and it went great! Nick is very friendly, flexible, and understanding. He did a great job of working with both of us (and we have pretty different personalities!) to teach us all the foundational skills we needed to assemble a great first dance. It was great to have learned a set of components we could assemble into a dance, and I know we’ll use those pieces again. We both looked forward to lessons with Nick, and adding on new elements to our dance! I highly, highly recommend him.

Just went to a salsa class with Nick and it was amazing! Approachable yet with enough technicality to keep even the more talented dancers interested. Such a blast had by all!

Nick was our instructor for our first dance. He was excellent! We started quite late (about a month before the wedding) and we had never danced before. To make it even more challenging, we wanted a fun, somewhat complicated dance. During our first meeting with Nick, he really took time to get to know us and our personalities so he could craft a dance that fit our personalities. From then on, he kept us focused on perfecting a dance we’d be happy with and one that would make our friends and family laugh. The lessons were a lot of fun (we often brought wine and shared with Nick) and by the last one, we had a dance that we were really pleased with. The dance went off without a hitch at our wedding (just as Nick said it would) and we gained confidence in dancing and our guests were thoroughly entertained. I recommend Nick to all of our friends with upcoming nuptials. You won’t be disappointed with his instruction, and you’ll have a blast!

My partner and I were married in October — Nick taught us our wedding dance. We were complete beginners and I had never taken dance lessons before. We took 10 lessons over a 3 month period, which included choreography to our chosen song, learning and practicing each element of our dance, and then putting it all together.
Nick is great! He knows a lot of different types of dance, is very patient, wants to make sure your dance looks good, and is a lot of fun. Highly recommended!

Nick was awesome. I told my wife I didn’t want to have a normal first dance where we danced in a circle like the high school prom. Instead I wanted to do something more up beat and exciting. We choose to dance to Jackie Wilson (Your love lifts me higher and higher) and Nick made the fast song something that we could handle. Overall we were so happy with Nick and our progress that we extended past the 10 lessons we original signed up for and added 5 more. From June to October we practiced with Nick and I felt that every lesson he gave us steps that made us better and also pushed us to be better. Trust me when we originally learned the box step and then added it to the beat of the song I thought we’d never get it. But we did!
Nick can handle any type of comfort level and is very good listener. We did some fun non dance moves but we also did more traditional steps in our routine. The mixture kept it interesting for us and always kept us wanting to learn more. When my wife felt nervous that she wouldn’t be able to do a particular move in her wedding dress Nick came up with better steps that worked with her dress and comfort level.
Can’t go wrong with Nick and I’d highly recommend him to any person or couple. Thanks for an awesome into to our wedding!
