My husband and I were thrilled with our lessons from John & Maria of Joria Productions. Private lessons helped us focus on exactly what we needed to learn (which was everything!) and let us focus on our music and our preferred style of dance. John & Maria are extremely knowledgeable and passionate about their craft -- not to mention that they are phenomenal dancers themselves. It is a huge benefit to have a male and female instructor teaching together so that they can swoop in as needed to demonstrate and correct. On our wedding day we felt relaxed and confident as we stepped on to the dance floor and our guests were blown away by our simple but elegant dance that ended with a dip and a kiss! We considered the lessons a gift to ourselves and they provided us some much needed time together in the final weeks before the wedding where we were able to just enjoy each other's company.
