Bella Ballroom- Wedding Dance Lessons in Orange County

Jennelle was a great dance instructor! We had so much fun learning how to ballroom and even more fun showing off our new skills at the wedding. Everyone loved it!

My husband and I had a wonderful time with our dance lessons at Bella Ballroom. Coming from a former high school teacher, I want to especially praise our instructor, Jennelle, for what an incredible teacher she is. She is patient, encouraging, approachable and so fun. I had taken a few dance lessons years ago, but my husband had not. Jennelle's methods were geared perfectly for our level of skill and our personalities. We took 5 lessons from Jennelle, and come wedding day our guests were amazed by our first dance! And although we made a couple small mistakes, no one at the wedding had any clue because Jennelle doesn't teach you one routine, she teaches you how to dance!! So we regrouped easily when we made even the slightest error. Thank you, Jennelle, for making our first dance such a wonderful part of our day. We can't wait to take more lessons from you in the future.

Jennelle is very sweet and friendly. We went to her to learn our first dance for our wedding just 3 weeks before. We didnt have any dance background but the instructor taught basic dances that we could dance at the wedding with some spins and twirls. our guests were amazed by our first dance and they didn't notice any mistakes LOL, they thought we are professionals. It was so much fun. Thank you.

Jennelle is wonderful! She's very sweet, friendly, and approachable. My wife and I went to her to learn our first dance for our wedding. We didnt have any dance background. Her instructions were easy to learn, and she choreographed our entire first dance, turned out great! Easy to communicate with her via email or phone, prices were great too! Highly recommend Jennelle =)

Things went great at our wedding after working with Jennelle! We had a little too much to drink but the dancing portion felt so practiced, fluid, and comfortable that we were able to just glide through it without any worries! Yes, on autopilot!!! Thank you so much for your support- your personality and enthusiasm really fits perfectly in this industry with newbies w/two left feet.Jen & Damon

My fiance wanted to WOW our guests with our first dance. We got a ton of compliments and people were shocked at his new dancing skills. He hasn't had any dance/music experience at all. Jenelle helped us with a choreographed first dance and also taught us ways to make it through if we were to make a mistake. She also taught basic dances that we could dance at the wedding. Her energy is so contagious, you can't help but smile and have fun the entire time. Our dance lessons were such a good break during the wedding planning time. I cannot recommend her enough! We are going to try to continue lessons even after.

Jennelle is truly a sweetheart and made our lessons so much fun! I loved that she taught us the basics and then gave us a loosely choreographed intro and ending – that was crucial to the success of our 1st dance!
I never anticipated what actually happened at our wedding – all of the sudden our music started playing, we rushed up to the dance floor and I FORGOT EVERYTHING! My husband literally had to tell me what to do with my feet until I got my box-step rhythm. We quickly got oriented and had a magical first dance :)
The lessons helped us have an impressive first dance – all of our guests oohed and aaahed for the spins and twirls and they cheered as we took our final dip. It was so much fun to take the dance floor as a couple and dance to a song that means so much to us.
None of it would have been possible without Jennelle!

My fiancé surprised me with dance lessons a couple months before the wedding. I was a little nervous going in since neither one of us had ever taken dance lessons but my nervousness quickly disappeared. Jennelle is a great instructor. She started us off slow and worked at our pace. She teaches you the dance steps and lets you put them together into a dance. There was no counting steps or memorizing a particular dance. I felt completely comfortable on our wedding day and our first dance was a total success (thanks to Jenelle)! I would recommend dance lessons to all couples. With all the planning that goes on right before the wedding, dance lessons are a perfect time for you and your fiancé to spend time together, when you don't have to think about planning, it's just you and him dancing. Jenelle was great and I'm recommending her to all my friends who get engaged!

My husband and I had a wonderful time with our dance lessons at Bella Ballroom. Jennelle was an incredible teacher as she is patient, encouraging, approachable and fun. I had taken dance lessons previously, but my husband had not. Jennelle's methods were geared perfectly for our level of skill and our personalities. At our wedding our guests were amazed by our first dance with our unique choice of a Portuguese love song! I also had one session with Jennelle and my father for the Father-Daughter dance. She aided us in making my father feel comfortable with dancing instead of just swaying. Thank you, Jennelle, for making our first dance wonderful. We can't wait to take more lessons from you in the future.

this is an overdue Review.! Sorry Jennelle!
Jennelle is a dream to work with! She's very patient and kind. My husband and I have two left feet!
And we did not want to take expensive dance lesson since we only have 3 weeks left before the big day. But we are glad we did!!! We surprised our guests with our fun dance when we first walked into the reception, and then our first dance!
Her pricing is very reasonable as well.

I'm so thankful I found Jennelle just weeks before our wedding!

Thanks !!!

Jennelle is the best! Very patient and encouraging. Love the creative dance moves! We felt very comfortable the whole time!

I just wanted to take this opportunity to thank you for the great times with our dance lessons! My wife and I have drawn closer in our relationship as a result of it and we really want to give kudos where it is due. Thanks a million!


We wanted our First Dance to be special and meaningful to us. This was our first experience with any dancing lessons and Jennelle made it a comfortable and fun experience. She was also great at tailoring the lessons and music selection to what we were looking for, which made for a magical dance at our wedding. We couldn’t recommend her more highly!


Jennelle was a great dance instructor. She was patient and encouraging and made learning to dance very fun. She managed to keep it simple enough for the total novice, yet the more experienced in our group were surprised at how much they learned too. My husband signed us up for more lessons without me even asking him!
