Testimonials
If you’re wondering whether wedding dance lessons are worth it, the answer is absolutely yes—especially if you work with Joe and Sara at Orange County wedding Dance Studios. Before our lessons, neither my fiancee nor I had any real dance experience. Like many couples, we’d simply sway together whenever a slow song came on. We wanted our first dance to feel special, but we weren’t sure where to begin. From our very first lesson, Joe made us feel completely comfortable. He took the time to get to know each of us individually and tailored his instruction to the way we naturally learn. He used sports analogies for me and gymnastics and swimming references for Elise, making every concept easy to understand and helping us build confidence right away. We enjoyed our first lesson so much that we immediately signed up for additional lessons and worked with Joe through the final week before our wedding. Every lesson was fun, relaxed, and became one of our favorite parts of the wedding planning process. Beyond helping us prepare an amazing first dance, Joe and Sara gave us confidence on the dance floor and created memories we’ll always cherish. They’re incredibly patient, personable, and genuinely invested in helping each couple succeed. We’re so grateful we found Orange County Wedding Dance Studios, and we actually plan to continue taking lessons after the wedding because we’ve enjoyed the experience so much. We wholeheartedly recommend Joe and Sara to any couple looking to make their first dance unforgettable.

My husband and I got married last month and we both live abroad, but had the wedding in California near my parent's house. I booked Joe a year in advance for just two lessons for the week before our wedding because we didn't have any time otherwise. I was skeptical that we could learn a dance in just two hours, but Joe choreographed the sweetest dance for us, and it was a complete hit at the wedding! Everyone thought we were just naturally good dancers, which (Joe would know) are clearly not. Joe and Sara were one of our favorite vendors for our wedding, and they made it such a fun experience for us. HIGHLY RECOMMEND.- Kimberly on 12/29/17
Learning with Joe and Sara was so fun! 90 minutes and we learned our whole wedding dance 🙂- Sammy H. on 5/2/2026
My wife and I took private dance lessons with Joe Swallow to prepare for our first dance at our wedding, and we could not be happier with our experience! We came into our first lesson with absolutely zero dancing experience, so we were definitely starting from scratch. Joe created choreography specifically for us and patiently helped us build our skills and confidence over 10 lessons. We appreciate how easy it was to learn from Joe. Now, we feel comfortable and confident performing our entire first-dance routine smoothly! Joe is absolutely fantastic. He is incredibly knowledgeable, patient, and talented, and he always goes above and beyond to make sure we are comfortable and progressing. He and his wife are also so friendly and welcoming, and it is clear that they truly know and love their craft. We are so glad we chose Joe for dance lessons and couldn’t recommend him more highly. If you’re looking for an instructor for your wedding first dance—or even if you have absolutely no dance experience like we did—Joe is the person to go to! 10/10—highly recommend

Our wedding is coming up and we wanted to take lessons so that our first dance would be memorable. We searched yelp and stumbled upon OC wedding dance studios. Upon talking to Joe, he offered a very reasonable price for two 1 hour sessions. Joe has been great in helping us with our dance routine which would go well with our song. Joe is very patient and accommodating to what you're comfortable doing. Would highly recommend Joe and Sara if you're looking to take lessons for your first dance on your wedding day.- Stacy on 11/11/17
We came to this studio with four left feet and a lot of nerves about our first dance, but Joe was a total lifesaver. He was incredibly patient, broke down the steps in a way that actually made sense, and made every lesson fun rather than stressful. By the time our wedding day arrived, we felt confident and actually enjoyed our time on the floor. If you’re nervous about your wedding dance, go see Joe!- Thinh N. on 4/4/2026
