For our first dance, we wanted a choreographed routine that felt special but not over the top. Elena at LaVida Dance Studio was absolutely wonderful to work with.

LaVida was the perfect place for us to choreograph our first dance. Our instructor was Elena and she was an absolute joy to work with she made it a custom first dance none of our guest will be forgetting adding some extra magic to our special day 😄 highly recommend their wedding dance packages as they give you video to practice and work with whatever music you bring them in !
We found La Vida through a close friend who recommended Elena to help us with our wedding dance. Neither my husband nor I are strong dancers, but Elena made us feel comfortable right away. She was encouraging, patient, and helped us build confidence with each lesson. We ended up taking 5 lessons total, and by the time our wedding day arrived, we felt genuinely ready. Our first dance turned out better than we expected—natural, relaxed, and fun. We’re so thankful for Elena’s help and would recommend her 10/10 to any couple looking to feel good on the dance floor.
