    … As it turns out we loved coming to our dance lessons and practicing. During the last few weeks leading up to the wedding it was our only real
    Relief from the stress. We had fun and laughed and it was just awesome.

    Fast forward to the wedding our dance was a hit! Everyone loved it and we had a blast performing!

    Thank you to dancify for turning us into dancing machines! If you are on the fence about getting lessons here my advice is to just do it. It was such a relief walking into our grand entrance and knowing what we were going to do. It is pretty over whelming to see all this people staring at you waiting to be wowed. We were both very pleased that we decided to come here.

    Camille helped coordinate our first dance, a tango-salsa to Hotel California and Vivir Mi Vida (approx 3.5 min). She was very friendly, gave great instructions, and was able to finish the choreography and polish the dance within the 15 lessons we had originally purchased (I had previous dance experience in both tango and salsa and my husband had limited experience in salsa). She was so flexible and accommodating to our schedules (we're both physicians) too! We will definitely be back for lessons!!!

    AJ is a very funny guy and is a real artist at what he does. We really love the wedding dance choreography that AJ has designed for us. …

    ... AJ is great at going the extra mile for us. He's great at responding to our feedback and made a adjustments to the routine based on our feedback. He dances both the guy and girl parts, and danced with each of us so we got the feel for the dance. He also allowed us to record our sessions so we can play it back and review when we're at home practicing. On our last lesson he left us with some basic tips and moves we can dance comfortably during social dancing so we could dance to any song that the DJ could spin up during our wedding.

    Amazing studio! Beautiful, new space and always positive, fun energy from instructors. Alina is an absolute master at her craft. I've been learning Argentine tango in private lessons and Salsa and American Smooth in group classes - learning fast and having fun. Best studio in whole area by a long shot!!

    I had the great pleasure and good fortune to be trained by Camille Parillo for my participation in the 4th Annual Dancing With the South Bay Stars competition. In just four months, she made me look like a pro and we won a Judge's Favorite Trophy. I still can not believe we pulled off a complicated west Coast Swing routine that completely wowed an audience of 500 people. It all seems like a dream now, but Camille was a total pro and a lot of fun to work with. I highly recommend Dancify Studio for your ballroom dancing needs.
