My fiancée and I evaluated a few dance studios in the area for our first dance. After we met with Kyle at Dance Reverie and barreled through way more material in our first lesson than we had anywhere else (and that was a free lesson!) we knew we were going to stick with him. We selected his 6 lesson package (you can take a few lessons and then roll it into the package at the same discount) and we were ready to go by lesson 6. Since then we added a few lessons just because we're enjoying it! There's no nonsense, no red tape or evaluations or group lessons. Just straight up, 1-on-1 teaching. No subs, it's always been Kyle. He's knowledgeable and gives you tools to work into your dance. He'll give you some choreo ideas if you ask him or show him a video you'd like to take some concepts from. All in all a great experience! Thanks Kyle!!

Dance Reverie is a very professional dance studio and they made my family and me comfortable when we went for dance lessons. My wife, 2 daughters, and I went for lessons, in advance of another daughter's wedding. It was fun, it was effective, and we went from fear of the dance floor to comfort with it. We're no Fred Astaire / Ginger Rogers, but we were able to get out there and dance and have fun doing it, thanks to the lessons at Dance Reverie. Their price is right and our teacher was great. I endorse them unconditionally.

Are you looking for a good time? Call Kyle at (516) 418-6434. Seriously, call Kyle at Dance Reverie. My wife and I got married on October 1, 2017 and one of my fears, if not the biggest one, was our first dance. You see, I'm not much of a dancer. I never was. I suggested to my wife that we take dance lessons, so that we could really have a memorable first dance. She looked at several schools online, but Dance Reverie is the one that stood out above all others, namely due to the multiple awesome reviews about Kyle. I called him up and was immediately impressed with the interest he took in wanting to help us create this special moment. We started off taking his first package, which included four lessons. The first lesson is free, but he doesn't treat it as such. The amount of effort that he pours into each class makes you leave each class just saying to yourself, wow. We learned so much in that one class that it sparked a genuine interest to want to learn more and more. Keep in mind, I used to dread dancing because I always felt foolish. However just after a few lessons with Kyle, that insecurity swiftly passed and I was able to fully embrace the moment and enjoy this uncharted experience with my wife. Our first dance ended up being totally awesome. Everyone raved that they have never been to a wedding reception before where they witnessed such an intricate performance. We owe this all to Kyle and we are forever grateful for all his sincere efforts. We loved this experience so much that we plan on continuing classes with him to learn other styles of dancing. So to reiterate my opening phrase, if you're looking for a good time, call Kyle at Dance Reverie.

TL;DR Kyle is an amazing instructor who makes you feel comfortable dancing. Our guests were impressed at how amazing our first dance was. What we paid was priceless when you factor in the memories we will always cherish. I highly recommend the 10 lesson package and that you start wearing the shoes you will be dancing in as soon as possible. Now for the wall of text. I want to preface this review with the fact that I hate having to do research for wedding "stuff." I'm a typical groom I guess and just wanted my bride to tell me how much it costs and where I need to be. I knew however, that I wanted dance lessons so we wouldn't look like we're dancing at prom. She found a place that was highly reviewed and close by so we went for our introductory lesson. The place itself is fairly large with a huge dance floor with mirrors on three sides of the room so you can see how good/bad you are doing. Kyle played our song and immediately went to work. He quickly showed us a basic waltz which already was better than we could have hoped for. My wife and I have decent rhythm but the main problem was the fact that I didn't know how to properly "lead" when dancing. He showed me how to lead by example, dancing with my wife, and a general idea of what our dance would be like in our first lesson. It seemed easy enough. It's what he called the "basics." We did that for the rest of the lesson which made the hour fly by. Once we were done we decided the 10 lesson package was the best deal for us and in the end was worth the memories. The 10 lesson package looks like it might be expensive but when you compare it to the rest of the wedding expenses it's actually the best bargain. Kyle is also very flexible with scheduling which was a huge plus. Ten lessons were also necessary because we were advised to not practice on our own till maybe after the sixth lesson because if you practice something wrong Kyle has to correct all your mistakes at the next lesson. This was fine because I needed the time to relearn some of the steps due to my forgetfulness. It's important to note that Kyle teaches you to dance and will not teach you a routine. I say this because what did we do when we started to practice on our own? We practiced a routine! He knew it when we showed up for the next lesson which was maybe lesson 8 or 9 because when we messed up we started blaming each other. Once he "fixed" us he made us dance for one of his group lessons to make sure there was no stage fright or any issues. We practiced twice during the cocktail hour because my wife was afraid that her dress would prevent her from dancing well. Those practice sessions were just ok. I felt we were a little rough but one of our photographer's assistants said it was the best first dance she'd seen. We were both nervous as **** before the dance because obviously there was a huge crowd and the uncertainty because of her dress. I remembered what Kyle had taught us which was essentially to "have fun and

Highly recommend Dance Riverie. Kyle was a lifesaver! Our original instructor from another dance studio cancelled on us a week before the wedding and left us hanging. This place was very professional and so helpful in our crunch time. Not only were they so accommodating they gave us a great when we needed them. Shows they really care to make your day special.
