Thank you very much for the wedding first dance lessons! We originally took them to help give us a base for our wedding first dance and found we just loved coming to class. Your professionalism and friendliness made the class very enjoyable and fun to learn dancing. We gained an understanding of various dance styles and were able to pick a type for our wedding first ance. Having a private session to do the wedding first dance choreography was the perfect way to create a memorable first dance. Thanks Izabela!

As beginners to ballroom, we were perhaps, rather ambitious in our decision to do a quickstep to Benny Goodman’s Sing Sing Singbut we had every confidence that Izabela would be able to teach us a wedding first dance routine that would wow our friends and family and she didn’t disappoint!
Izabela is an excellent teacher – we found her to be professional, patient and good humoured. We had 5 private lessons and each week our confidence grew. Izabela videoed our rehearsals so that we could practice in between our classes and by the 5th lesson we knew it off by heart and were able to spend some time perfecting our technique.
Our friends and family were amazed and delighted by our routine (which we had kept a secret!), and told us it was the best wedding first dance they had ever seen! It was the perfect routine for a perfect day - thank you so much Izabela for helping to make our day so very special" Simon & Catharine - July 2012
We thoroughly enjoyed all our wedding first dance lessons with Izabela in the run up to our wedding, she always made them great fun and is a fantastic teacher. We changed our music choice halfway through and even that didn't faze her.
Her wedding first dance choreography was effortless and well thought out and more importantly tailored to our personalities and to us as a couple. Everyone absolutely loved our wedding first dance on the day. This experience has inspired us to once again take up ballroom dancing and we look forward to continuing lessons with Izabela in the near future. Pete & Helen
We cannot recommend Izabela's wedding first dance lessons enough, and are still astounded at what we were able to achieve after only a few sessions. Her teaching style immediately makes you feel at ease, with the focus very much on positive thinking and the true pleasure of dancing.
Izabela's patience is endless and she is happy to repeat steps as many times as it takes for you to master them. Thanks to Izabela we genuinely enjoyed our wedding first dance at our wedding - not just the wedding first dance, but every dance. We have both gained such confidence and have surprised ourselves at just how much we have enjoyed learning to dance together. Ruth & Alan Morgan
Ben and I picked Izabela to be our wedding first dance choreographer as we wanted a beautiful classic dance with a big surprise at the end. We did lots of online research and felt that Izabela had the most experience and expertise to help us with what we wanted - if she can teach celebrities to dance who have two left feet then we thought we might stand a chance learning something good! Our lessons were easy to organise and extremely fun. She made everything very simple and easy to learn and gave us lots of confidence to work towards the level we wanted to achieve. We would highly recommend coming to Izabela to learn, as you'll have lots of fun and end up with an extremely good wedding first dance which your guests will be talking about for many months to come! Thank you Izabela for helping create such a wonderful wedding first dance

It was fantastic to work with Izabela on our wedding first dance. We enjoyed every minute of it thanks to Izabela's high professionalism and her lovely warm personality. In the frenzy of our wedding preparations, within five wedding first dance lessons she managed to teach us an amazing choreography. All our guests were stunned and we felt like true dancing stars at our own wedding! Stephen & Meggie - July 2012
We started group dance lessons with Izabela in Richmond in September 2011, hoping to learn a few moves in preparation for our first dance the following June. We were immediately welcomed by a friendly and energetic Izabela who took a lot of pride in teaching her students all that she knows.
I was amazed at how well she built up the dances over the course to leave us after 8 weeks with a good basic knowledge of both the tango and jive. We would never have believed we would be dancing such a lengthy and seemingly complex sequence of both dances after 7-8 weeks. We have since signed up to more courses and also took private lessons with Izabela, where she taught us a wedding first dance sequence for our wedding that, without shadow of a doubt, hit the 'wow' factor. She mixed up a few known steps and routines with some new elements and a lift and spin to top it off! When we danced at our wedding I was petrified but we pulled it off and remembered all the little pointers she gave us. Still waiting to see the video!
Izabela also gave a few lessons to my Dad and choreographed our Father-Daughter dance. My Dad loves his dancing and all our guests were overwhelmed as it was so unusual to see a proper Father-Daughter dance. He then used a few of the steps for my sister's wedding recently, which goes to show how she makes sure things aren't so difficult you can't remember them!!

We would recommend Izabela as a wedding first dance teacher any day. She was reliable, fun and choreographed our dance to the song that we chose. We always looked forward to our lessons and they paid off really well because we had the most amazing wedding first dance that everyone enjoyed watching. Danielle & Neil - April 2012
The wedding went really well and everybody loved our wedding first dance, it had quite a few people in tears! John remembered all the steps to At last and led me with a lot of confidence; you would of been very proud! I wanted to thank you for your excellent wedding first dance teaching skills and support. The song choice was spot on and it really was one of the best memories of the wedding I have and something I will treasure forever.

It was my fiancées idea to start having wedding first dance lessons for a surprise at our wedding. I wasn't that keen on the idea but decided to give it a go. Before our first lesson I was petrified and a little embarrassed as I had never done anything like this before but within 5 minutes of the wedding first dance lesson I was completely at ease with Izabela.
She was always quick to praise the good parts and still remain positive but constructive on the parts of the lessons we found more difficult. Before we knew it our wedding first dance had come together and our weekly lesson was something we really looked forward to and also became a great way to keep fit.
Izabela has been an absolutely fantastic wedding first dance teacher to us for the past 6 months. She put us at ease and created an amazing atmosphere each and every time we had a lesson. He knowledge combined with fantastic teaching techniques made the experience fun and exciting. Carla & Steve
Thank you for the lessons Izabela. Everyone at our wedding really enjoyed watching our wedding first dance, especially my mum who had purchased the wedding first dance lesson gift package from your website. The wedding first dance lessons were well worth it and we enjoyed every part of the experience. Izabela you are great wedding first dance Instructor. Natasha & Mark
With great thanks to Izabela our wedding dance turned out to be one of our most memorable moments of our wedding day - and not just for us but for all of our guests too. Our family and friends were positively astonished with our new-founded ballroom, Latin American and free-style dancing skills. Izabela suggested that we carry out a lift at the end of the dance routine. I will never forget the screams and cheers of amazement from the crowd whilst I was spun in mid-air by my husband. Making such an impact together as a couple was such a wonderful feeling.
I recall feeling amazed after our very first dance lesson. I could not believe how much Izabela had taught us in terms of footwork, posture and the beginnings of a routine. Furthermore, it was clear that Izabela fully understood exactly what we wanted to achieve for our first dance. We wanted a glamorous and stylish dance routine choreographed specifically to suit our personalities and ability as a couple. This is exactly what Izabela delivered.
Izabela is a fantastic teacher and every dance lesson with her exceeded our expectations. It is for this reason that we were able to deliver a perfect first dance which in the words of my father “was absolutely magic”. Natalie & Kay
