The wedding dance designed by Gary for my spouse and me was exceptionally remarkable that even after several weeks of the wedding, our guests couldn't stop talking about it!

Gary is an absolute miracle worker! Despite my fiancé having absolutely no experience in dancing, we were both quite apprehensive about our "first dance" at our upcoming wedding. However, Gary surpassed all of our expectations by making us feel comfortable and self-assured from the very beginning. After merely a few sessions, we are now well-prepared and eagerly anticipating our first dance! We are extremely grateful to Gary for everything he has done for us!

How amazing! Within just two hours, we had learned our wedding dance routine, and it was elegant yet straightforward. The choreographer managed to create a beautiful story in our dance performance with his creative touch. His informative guidance and thorough teaching approach helped us learn everything we needed to know about dance. It was an incredibly simplistically beautiful experience.

It's difficult to adequately express just how great Gary was. He went above and beyond anything we could have hoped for. When I brought him a song and a YouTube video of professional dancers for our wedding's first dance, I wasn't entirely sure of our capabilities. Gary was fantastic though - patient, supportive, flexible, encouraging, and fun! Whenever we hit a snag with a dance move, he was quick with an alternative. My now-husband, who was quite anxious, wants to keep up regular lessons with Gary because he had such a good time. Our performance was a hit. Everyone, from family to venue staff, gave glowing reviews. I could go on and on but suffice it to say, if you need a dance instructor, Gary's your guy. Trust us, you won't regret it!

Gary was an excellent partner to collaborate with. We're extremely satisfied with our decision to select him to assist us in choreographing our initial dance. Despite my husband's lack of dancing skills and rhythm, Gary displayed remarkable patience in working with him to alleviate his anxieties. He's truly exceptional!
