    Wedding planning is already stressful enough, but it can be a little more daunting when you have two left feet like me. My now wife and I found Sergey through groupon and were very happy that we did - we're both a little clumsy, but Sergey was very kind and patient with us through all of our missteps and choreographed a great first dance. Our classes took place in the Manhattan Ballroom which was a little crowded at times (and definitely intimidating) with all of the pros and semi-pros, but there were a couple of corners with privacy screens to save us some embarrassment. Sergey was always quick to respond to calls/texts and flexible with scheduling classes. All in all, we had a great experience and would recommend Sergey to anyone looking for a dance instructor.

    Sergey's extensive ballroom skills and knowledge of how the body works and moves makes him an incredible teacher. His use of humor during his lesson makes it fun to learn challenging material!

    Sergey is an amazingly talented and wonderful dance teacher, and I couldn't recommend anyone better for a dance instructor. He choreographed an elegant first dance wedding for us, and was patient and thoughtful with us, even if it took us several times to remember a dance move. Sergey was very professional throughout the process and totally took the stress out of preparing for our first dance even though we were beginners and never really danced before. He also was flexible in scheduling, working to find times that fit with our hectic schedules. He even took the time to meet up with us at our wedding venue to practice the day before our wedding, we were so grateful. His top-notch teaching skills resulted in our first dance going off perfectly without a hitch, and we give Sergey all the credit in making that happen! Thank you for such a wonderful experience and the great memories created Sergey!

    Sergey is a phenomenal teacher. Patient, clear, efficient, humorous...I'm not sure what else you could ask for in an instructor when you are trying to rehearse a dance one week before your wedding (with minimal prior dance experience)! Lev and I felt far more prepared for our wedding dance with Sergey's assistance and recommend any couples preparing for a wedding or just eager to learn some classic dance moves to sign up with Sergey today. Best money spent leading up to the big day!
