Maria is an exceptional and skillful expert who possesses a surplus of endurance and precise dedication towards developing fundamental abilities. In each session, she solidifies past proficiencies and subsequently presents novel ones. The sessions are enjoyable and stimulating. If I, being an unskilled beginner, can achieve success under her tutelage, then anyone can.

Mariia was kind enough to help my wife and me create a short and simple couples dance for our upcoming wedding. As amateur dancers, we were hesitant about our own skills and needed some guidance. Mariia composed a beautiful sequence and encouraged us to practice it. She suggested that we could use it as is, without further lessons if we were satisfied with our performance. We enjoyed dancing with her so much that we decided to take it to the next level. We approached Mariia and expressed our desire to expand our repertoire. Thanks to two more sessions with her, we added dips, lifts, twirls, and much more! We are proud to say that our wedding dance was an absolute hit. We highly recommend Mariia for her ability to boost the confidence of new performers in a gentle and nurturing way.

Over the course of a few months, Mariia taught dance lessons to my wife and me to help us prepare for our wedding and develop our dancing skills. As complete beginners, Mariia made the learning process enjoyable and accessible by imparting dance techniques and styles specifically tailored to our level of experience. With each session, we gained appreciable improvement, and Mariia adeptly upped the difficulty level accordingly without overwhelming us. The crowning achievement of our partnership with Mariia was the choreography of our first dance which Mariia matched perfectly with our song and custom-designed the routine with her unique creativity. During every class, she refined the elements of our dance until we mastered it. On the day of our wedding, our routine was flawless, leaving our guests in awe. Mariia's professionalism, expertise and amiable personality made her delightful to work with, and we eagerly awaited every lesson.

Our initial session with Mariia was incredibly enjoyable, productive, and relaxing. As we are preparing for our inaugural wedding dance and possess zero prior dancing training, we were at a loss with where to begin. Mariia expertly led us in constructing a routine that we adore and that will entertain our wedding attendees. We eagerly anticipate our subsequent session! :)

Mariia is an exceptional dance instructor and choreographer. During the period my wife and I lived in SF/Bay Area, we had the privilege of taking private ballroom dance classes from her for over five years. Mariia exhibits immense passion for her craft and possesses excellent teaching skills, as exemplified by her patience, communicative nature, and the ability to identify issues in a dancer's technique with remarkable speed. Additionally, she is highly responsive and always follows through on her instructions. Our experience with Mariia was so positive that we have already made plans for a follow-up teaching session. I highly recommend her services without reservation!
