Ballroom Dance Lessons

We wanted to get dance lessons for out first wedding dance. Neither of us know how to dance… at all. We met Auris, told him the song we wanted and he took it from there! He incorporated professional dance steps as well as simples moves. He listened to what we wanted, never pushed anything we didn’t want to do in our dance. He’s very professional and fun to work with! We purchased 5 lessons and learned out dance in no time. People were blown away at the wedding! We kept the lessons a secret from everyone so it was a huge surprise, and a surprise for us that we actually pulled it off. Very highly recommend Auris.

My fiancé and I signed up for dance lessons with Auris because we wanted to do a choreographed dance for our wedding reception «first dance.» It was a tremendous relief to meet someone who was easy-​going, down-​to-​earth, and had all the expertise and the technical skill needed to teach us something that fit our level of training. He was a pleasure to work with — always prompt, detailed, and responsive to feedback. Auris helped us select a song (we had a couple in mind), cut and edit it to an appropriate length, and come up with perfect, step by step dance moves to fit the lyrics while making sure that it suited our style. I was surprised that it only took 5 lessons! Under his careful tutelage we not only learned basic moves, we also learned to perfect our posture and stylistic moves. Everyone at the wedding complimented us on our dance and I’m sure we got some beautiful poses for the photographer too.

Started salsa lessons with a group of friends on a whim and the experience has me dancing with joy each week (pun intended). Auris is a great instructor who provides great guidance on how to move and lead and is open to tailoring the lesson to your needs. TL;DR check it out, fun times.

I started taking salsa lessons with Auris with a group of friends and wasn’t sure what to expect since I had no dance experience. What I can tell you is that I now feel very confident in my ability to dance! Auris is an excellent teacher and is very good at helping you to learn at a pace where you can see yourself making progress within a single lesson while not overwhelming you. Our lessons always seem to go by so quickly because it is such an enjoyable and fun time. Auris always wants us to ask questions, and he will not only help resolve our problems but will also use the opportunity to refine our technique, which can make even the simplest moves look amazing! Whether you are looking for a choreographed dance for a special event or for the skills and confidence to take your dancing out socially, Auris is a professional and qualified ballroom and Latin dance instructor who I highly recommend for anyone who wants to learn how to dance!

A group of friends and I started a 5 lessons package with Auris about 6 months ago. Next thing you know, we’re on our 4^th, 5 lessons package!
Auris is a wonderful instructor. We are not only learning salsa moves, but also salsa techniques. The 45mins lesson always flies by so quickly. Auris is patient but not afraid to point out what you need to improve on, which is great.
I highly recommend Auris to anyone interested in learning ballroom or Latin dances.

I have had a desire to learn salsa for many years now, but always thought of an excuse to start. I don’t have a partner, I don’t have time etc etc. Well, finally the stars aligned and Auris is my teacher. 3 months later and I am dancing salsa! :) It is so much fun! If you are thinking about starting salsa yourself, I would highly recommend working with Auris!

Auris is an amazing dance instructor. He immediately makes you feel comfortable and is a creative teacher. My fiancé and I started taking classes with Auris to learn a first dance for our wedding. Neither of us had taken dance classes before. Auris is a natural teacher and his friendly demeanor put us at ease, not only did we appreciate his instruction, we also enjoyed his company. With all the wedding stress, this turned out to be the most fun we had during the months leading up to the wedding and we always left the class smiling. We are even going to continue classes with Auris to learn more.

Auris is awesome!
If you are looking for a fantastic dance teacher, look no further!
We had Auris choreograph our wedding dance and teach us dancing techniques and it was a spectacular experience.
First of all, Auris really caters to what you would like your dance to be. He manually edited the music of our choice «Married Life» (from Up), to ~2:30 minutes and made some additions to allow for our choreography. After each move that he choreographed he asked us if we liked it or not to make sure that we feel comfortable doing those moves. He also definitely adjusts your choreography to your dancing level. Since we finished the whole choreography by our second lesson and the last bit was a little repetitive, he added in more elements, which was a nice addition.
Second of all, Auris is very good at teaching you good technique. I kept complaining to may fiancée that his posture was not good, but as soon as Auris taught him some pointers, his posture improved immensely. Auris is very observant about our dancing capabilities and never overwhelmed us with small details to correct. But he was very mindful that we are doing this for a wedding and tried to convince us not to get caught too much on minute details of techniques emphasized the most essential points to make our dance shine, which was to have fun and smile a lot.
And lastly but most importantly, Auris is such a kind person. It has been a pleasure to be able to interact with someone that is so sincere. In a very weird way, just because he is sooo nice it makes you want to practice even more just to impress him!
Whether you are looking for a wedding dance teacher or for private and semi-​private lessons, Auris is probably one of the best teachers that you can find, because he leaves you feeling much better about your dancing after each lesson!!!
Thank you sooooooooo much for a great time Auris!

First off, I made a Unilocal account just so I could write this review. Auris has been that fantastic!
My girlfriend (now fiancée) and I were looking for a dance instructor to help choreograph or wedding waltz and we went to Auris for help and the past 5 weeks have been a fantastic experience. I went into the lessons uneasy about the process since I knew little more than the box step but Auris made everything extremely easy. He taught us the basics and recorded both he and I dancing with my bride to be, so I could compare and learn what he was doing. Thanks to Auris’s help we picked up the fundamentals of the dance very quickly and we spent our last sessions fine tuning the dance. He offered very clear advice that almost instantly fixed the problems we were having. Now we have a beautiful choreographed waltz and it’s all thanks to Auris. I cannot speak highly enough of the experience and how fun it was. Thank you for all your help!

my previous review has been filtered, don’t know why tho. Here I would like to post again, hopefully this time Unilocal won’t remove my review.
Auris is definatley a cool instructor. I started taking classes with him two months ago. I didn’t have any dancing experience before. I think I can dance now and most importantly I gained so much more confidence from dancing. I enjoy his classes. If you’re serious about dancing and you can afford privates, I strongly recommend him!

My daughter has been a dancer since the age of 4. Currently she (age 15) is dancing with Aurimas. He is very professional, as well as polite and patient.

Auris is a phenomenal dancer and teacher. He is truly passionate about his art and his students. My husband and I will be starting private lessons with him very soon and we are really looking forward to it! We have seen tremendous progress in one of our friends who is also learning from him. She recently competed in a ballroom dance competition (beginners level I think) and won first place! We saw her rehearse for the competition and were blown away by her poise and technique. We are so proud of her and we know that she’s learning from the best! My husband and I don’t plan to compete but want to become proficient enough to enjoy various ballroom dances (salsa, swing, tango, waltz, etc.). We will be sending our kids there too!

My fiancée and I were looking for a dance instructor for, you guessed it, our wedding dance. As we are not people who are naturally gifted with the gift of dance, it was particularly important for us to find someone who we felt comfortable with, in addition to being professional and patient and could work with what we have (or don’t have!).
After searching high and low, we were fortunate enough to come across Auris. While I’m sure there are many fantastic professional dancers out there, being a fantastic teacher is separate and distinct from just being able to dance. Auris is all of these things. He is a great dancer and an equally great teacher. Professional, patient, friendly and extremely fun, we always looked forward to our lessons with Auris.
Auris possesses a panoply of dance styles and my fiancée and I have enjoyed our lessons so much that we will continue to take lessons from him well after our wedding.
Thank you, Auris!
