A Private Studio of Dance

Best dance teacher ! Me and my husband have really fun and good time learning dance from Jen. She really take her time teach up every steps, wow, when the Big day, our family even say: I can’t believe you and bruce can dance that nice !” Thanks Jen !

Jeannette helped prepare me and my husband for our wedding dance. We came to her a little later than we probably should have (some dragging of the feet… on my part). We were complete newbies when we came to her, and now we feel like pros. Well… I wouldn’t audition for Silver Linings Playbook 2, but I’d break out a few dance moves at a future party/​wedding now. In 6 lessons, Jeannette created a dance for us that fit our vibe and our requests. When something wasn’t working for us, she was happy to adjust, and we ended up with something we both felt comfortable with and that our family & friends applauded. She does all her lessons in her house in Santa Monica, which felt pretty comfortable. Each lesson lasts 45 minutes, and she’ll email you your dance so you can practice at home.

My husband and I are so happy we worked with Jeannette for our first wedding dance. She graciously accepted us in very short notice and was extremely flexible working three dance lessons in as little as a week!
Jeannette is friendly, professional and GOOD! She focused on our strengths and choreographed a beautiful and sensual first dance to our song. She emailed us working notes after each class (which was useful) and final notes for our DJ to use on our wedding night.
Jeannette was an absolute pleasure to dance with and we will not hesitate taking more lessons in the future to build on our skills. WE highly recommend her to anyone seeking dance lessons, especially for weddings. Thank you Jeannette :)

My husband and I worked with Jeannette for our first wedding dance, and she really was a wonderful teacher. We not only had a blast taking lessons from Jeannette for a few months leading up to the wedding, but they also paid off on our wedding day! She focused on our strengths as a couple and choreographed a beautiful routine. We will always cherish the memories we made taking wedding dance lessons, and thanks to Jeannette have a great base to dance together at future events! I recommend her for any couple looking to have fun, learn something new, and grow together! Thanks Jeannette :)

This is a bit overdue but my wife and I got married just over two months ago (hey Jeannette!). We wanted to look somewhat graceful when we took to the dance floor in front of our friends and family as a newly married couple. So for our Valentine’s Day present, my (now) wife bought us dance lessons to Jeannette’s studio. We couldn’t have been happier with her patience (with me, mainly!), her professionalism, and the way she teaches you to look like you know what you’re doing! Our guests loved our dance, and we are so thankful for Jeannette. Highly recommend!

My husband and I took dance lessons before our wedding and had a blast! Jen was awesome to work with and very patient. My husband who I never thought would enjoy learning loved it! Our dance was a huge hit at the wedding! Thanks Jen!

My fiancé and I had zero dance experience and needed to prepare for our first dance at our wedding. Jeannette offered us a free first lesson and when we got there she already had our song playing and showed us some basic moves. We were very impressed with what she showed us in just 1 hour that we signed up for 5 classes. She choreographed an entire performance for our first dance that really suited our personalities and went great with our song. She was extremely patient with us and very helpful. It was the greatest experience working with Jeannette and we really impressed our guests. I highly recommend Jeannette!

My fiancé and I started taking lessons from Jen with no dancing experience. It was hard, but we had a great time and had a lot of fun working with her. We were able to laugh and learn from our mistakes and by our wedding day we got a standing ovation from our guests who had no idea we were learning a dance. It was so much fun to impress our guests and take them completely by surprise!

Jen was such a great dance teacher! It was such a wonderful experience for me and my husband, learning to dance under her instruction. Her studio is in a confortable setting and feels very personalized! She also assisted my bridal party with a fun little dancing down the aisle, loved it so much!

Jeannette was great! She brought my fiancée (now-​husband) and I up to dancing speed in just 5 lessons– taught us awesome choreography for our first dance. She was very patient and great with beginner dancers! Highly recommended!

Jeannette is a professional, fun and talented dance teacher. My (now) husband and I took 10 dance classes with Jeannette and went from not knowing how to dance at all, to performing a gorgeous, romantic and fun dance at our wedding that Jeannette choreographed just for us. We danced to our live band’s rendition of Etta James’ «At Last». We miss our weekly sessions with Jeannette!

Jeanette was SO SO patient with my then-​fiancée and I, when we took dance lessons for our wedding. We had a quirky song, and my fiancée had a few apprehensions since the beat was a little faster than what he was used to. He also used to have two left feet, and the first few lessons, he looked like he was skiing on the dance floor (he used to be a ski racer so that was the movement he was used to). Anyway, Jeanette worked her magic on us and the end result was awesome. Our friend summed it up for us: «You nailed it!»

Right off the bat I am going to say that if you are thinking about hiring a dance instructor for any occasion, you should not miss out on the opportunity to hire Jeannette. She is simply instructional GOLD.
After my brother and sister-​in-​law highly recommended her, we met with her to see about getting some lessons for the first dance for our wedding. My fiancé has never had dance instruction, and doesn’t even know how to find the beat in a song (aka, NO rhythm whatsoever). He was actually highly resistant to doing a first dance just because he was so concerned about not knowing what to do, but agreed to take 4 lessons to see how it goes. Jeannette is a miracle worker though. She has the most beautiful personality and knows exactly how to make jittery brides and grooms at ease. By the end of the complimentary intro, we had our basic step down!
Jeannette is very conscientious about making sure that you are working within your comfort level, while also making sure that you are building patterns as you go along working towards your goal. She knows exactly how to make adjustments to make sure that both of you are looking your best, and also adjusts as needed depending on the style of how you learn. By the end of the 2^nd lesson, we were truly dancing, and my fiancé INSISTED on continuing to work with her and finish out our dance! In the meantime, Jeannette also helped my dad and I pull together a more complicated father-​daughter dance on a more abbreviated schedule, and by the day of our wedding, it was flawless!
On a personal level, Jeannette is just overall so wonderful and her studio is in her home in Santa Monica and it’s just such a charming little sanctuary. In the insanity of our wedding planning and long work hours, going to Jeannette’s was a refuge, a place where we could just enjoy each other, and it became one of the highlights of our week each week.
On a logistical level, her rate is one thousand percent worth every penny of what she charges, she has a parking spot in her driveway (which is essential in Santa Monica), she is a joy to work with, and she also has very flexible hours so that working professionals can see her on nights and weekends.
If I could possibly give her twice as many stars, I would. Jeannette, we will be eternally grateful to you for making our wedding day so memorable and perfect.
