Lara Deni Danzco Studio

We had an amazing experience working with Lara to prepare for our first dance at our wedding. She made it really easy for us to learn and our dance was so beautiful and special. Our guests loved it! I would recommend her to anyone who wants to look great on the dance floor on their wedding day.

I came Lara to fix my two left feet for my wife and I’s wedding first dance. She came up up an amazing routine for us, which impressed all of our guests. She is an amazing instructor and she was truly a pleasure to work with. She is so good, I even brought my mother to her, so she could help us develop a mother and son first dance routine. I would highly recommend Lara!

6 months before our wedding, my mom signed me and my now husband up for dance lessons for our first dance. Neither of us barely know our right from left foot when it comes to the dance floor but Lara helped us learn our perfect first dance. She is so extremely patient and kind. Sadly, my mom passed away before our wedding but Lara made sure to remind us over and over again how proud my mom is of us. I cannot recommend her enough. She is fantastic!

I convinced my wife that getting some dance lessons for our first dance would be a good idea, after we watched some pretty cringy videos of others winging theirs. It was a great decision, we felt confident and were complimented throughout the reception on the dance. Lara was great at putting us to ease from the start and showed a ton of patience. She doesnt just teach you some moves. She tailors the dance and song to your personality and helps you sync with your partner, think through the small things, and plan for the dance in layout, timing, and with your DJ. Truly a professional at what she does. We are not dancers, but Lara made us look like we were!

Lara was amazing. She helped outline the timeframe to master our dance and really made the effort to capture our intent! She was extremely professional and made honest recommendations on extra practice lessons (which were absolutely necessary). She was always fair and made learning to dance, for someone with two left feet, easy to grasp!

I cannot express enough how grateful we are to have had Lara as our dance coach for our wedding. She truly made our first dance a remarkable and unforgettable experience. With her expertise as the world champion in West Coast Swing, she went above and beyond to create a completely customized dance routine for our first dance that perfectly suited our style and personalities.From the moment we met Lara, we knew we were in good hands. She listened attentively to our ideas, gave us advice (one of our first dance song options was too slow), and provided modifications when certain moves felt not right. Her professionalism and passion for dance shone through in every interaction. Her ability to understand our (very limited!) capabilities and translate it into an exquisite choreography was nothing short of amazing.Throughout the entire process, Lara provided us with patient and detailed coaching. Her teaching style was incredibly supportive, making us feel at ease even when we initially struggled with certain moves. She broke down the dance into different sections across 7 of our 10 dance lessons and then our last three lessons were for full rehearsal and cleanup. Her guidance and encouragement helped us gain confidence in our abilities and truly enjoy the journey of learning our first dance.On our wedding day, our first dance turned out to be the highlight of the evening. It was a truly magical moment and it wouldnt have been possible without Lara.Not only is Lara an exceptional dance instructor, but she is also a genuinely kind and wonderful person. Her positive energy and enthusiasm made each lesson a joyous experience. During the stress of wedding planning, she made turned our dance lessons from something we had to do to something we actively looked forward to. We couldnt have asked for a better mentor to guide us through this special time in our lives.If youre considering dance lessons for your wedding, we wholeheartedly recommend Lara. Her talent, professionalism, and ability to create personalized routines are unparalleled. She will not only help you achieve a beautiful first dance but also leave you with cherished memories that will last a lifetime.Thank you, Lara, for making our wedding day truly extraordinary. You are a true gem in the world of dance, and we are forever grateful for the incredible gift you have given us!

Two weeks before our wedding we took two lessons with Lara just so wed look a little polished for a our first dance - but in addition to learning the basic steps of the rhumba, she also came up with a great entrance for our song that really got the crowd going! Her experience as a wedding dance instructor is also evident by some tips for dancing in a wedding dress and heels that were helpful the day of.

Awesome experience from start to finish! My husband and I are NOT dancers but knew we wanted to do a little something fun/extra for our first dance. We feel so fortunate to have found Lara - we told her the song(s) we liked and she did the rest. She broke the choreography down into bite size pieces so it never felt too difficult. Our first dance turned out awesome and was one of the highlights of the entire night! THANK YOU!

We had 10 sessions with Lara to prepare for our wedding, and we had lots of fun along the way in lessons, and our first dance at the wedding went perfectly!

Cannot say enough about how amazing Lara and her team are! Lara makes dancing fun and always interesting! Her private lessons have made all the difference for my growth as a dancer. I have taken lessons at several studios in the area and Lara‘s studio is by far the best, second to none! Highly recommend her lessons and the dances. Always a good time!

Lara is an excellent teacher!! She has been teaching my kids (8 and 11) for years. They have competed in many events around the US and truly enjoy the dancing and interactions with others. I am so excited to continue to use Lara to teach my kids and see how far they go in dancing. For my son who is such a video game player, he gets really into dancing performing in crowds for west coast! Love Lara!

Lara is a wonderful teacher! Lots of knowledge and experience in competitive dancing to share. I’d recommend if you’re looking for constructive feedback in your dancing. Currently working with Lara on my mechanics and the way she breaks down what the entire body is doing through a pattern is top notch.I can’t ask for a better teacher. Thanks Lara!

Six months ago, I had no experience with dance lessons of any sort, but I got it in my head that I wanted to learn west coast swing. At first too clueless to realize that I was starting with a hard dance to learn and then too stubborn to quit, I started lessons at this studio, not knowing whether this was something I’d really be able to learn to do.Group lessons with David and with Lara and private lessons with Lara have brought me a long way, and I can now have fun out on the dance floor with my limited repertoire of moves. David and Lara are both so patient and encouraging, as are the more experienced students at the studio who have welcomed in a neophyte like me. I’m looking forward to more learning and more dancing in the new year.

I have been taking both private and group West Coast Swing (WCS) lessons with Lara Deni Danzco since 2009. My WCS dance journey with Lara has been positively amazing and enlightening. I consider Lara to be one of the best and most versatile dance instructors in the business who always goes above and beyond to provide fun, clarity and education in her WCS dance lessons. I have frequently recommended my male and female dance friends to her and they each think she is a stellar instructor and creative dancer. I highly recommend Lara Deni Danzco for a fun and inspiring dance experience. Yeaaa for Dance....

I’ve been dancing for a number of year and taken numerous lessons in almost every dance style. I’ve experienced multiple instructor, but my favorite is Lara. She gives precise instructions and has the patience of an angel. She has taken my dancing to a much higher level, by focusing on the finer points of body movement and presentation.

Just finished my first session of 3 lessons.Nice people, super instructor, cool move(s)!Starting a new session of classes on Monday. Cant wait!😉

Excellent professional dance space. Lara is fantastic! And great at explaining both the general dance concepts and more technical pieces.

I love these dance classes. The practice space is really roomy and very inviting and I really liked the instructor. I take the team west coast swing and I love coming back every week
