Highly recommend booking dance lessons with Andrey! My fiancé and I took lessons with him before our wedding, and we couldn't have asked for a better instructor. He broke everything down in a way that was easy to learn, and we genuinely looked forward to every lesson. We learned a lot and also had a lot of fun! read more

Highly recommend Andrey for your first dance lessons. He is patient, instructive, and hilarious! We have a wedding coming up in September and he has been extremely helpful in easing our qualms and helping us through the first dance. I am not a very rhythmic person and he has been able to explain moves in a digestible way for anyone and everyone! Andrey knows how to work with different people and is able to set expectations correctly. We have had a lot of fun working with Andrey and appreciate his expertise and his humor. He makes the lessons fun to go to while also ensuring they are productive. I would definitely recommend him for your first dance or other choreo needs. read more

Andrey was the absolute best! He's a great instructor and made sure our dance felt like us and not a run of the mill first dance. We have already recommended him to all of our friends. read more

We had the most beautiful first dance at our wedding thanks to Andrey! I appreciated how comfortable Andrey made my wife and I feel right from our very first lesson. My wife and I had different levels of dance experience yet Andrey was able to help both of us learn together cohesively. We had some dance moves in mind that we wanted to incorporate and he was able to beautifully add them into our choreography. Our guest were in awe and could tell our much thought went into our dance. It was a night to remember forever and Andrey played a big role in making it so memorable. read more

Andrey was a pleasure to work with. Our weekly dance classes were the highlight of our wedding planning experience. He found the perfect balance of pushing us beyond our comfort zone while also demonstrating patience. We would 100% recommend Andrey to anyone looking to master their first dance together. read more

We're so glad we trusted Andrey for dance lessons leading up to our wedding. He took the time to teach us the basics of dancing before we got into choreographing our first dance, which was invaluable. We can keep dancing with those basic steps forever! Andrey was also great at instilling confidence in us as the day got closer. We talked through different scenarios and possibilities and were prepared for anything. That said, the first dance went perfectly. We had so many people tell us it was the best first dance they had ever seen and we owe it all to Andrey. We couldn't recommend him more! read more

Andrey was amazing !! I'm so happy we trusted him with this special moment. It was so fun doing dance lessons leading up to our wedding. Would highly recommend !!! read more

Andrey was incredible! If you're looking for a wedding dance instructor, he is your person. My fiancé and I are not dancers, so we opted to do the five lesson package. Andrey was so patient and happy to meet us where we were (super beginner) - by the end of the five lessons, we had a beautiful and professional looking dance. Everyone at the wedding was impressed by how comfortable and natural we looked during our first dance, and that was all thanks to Andrey. He was also very flexible when we scheduled our lessons, which is a huge help when you're headed into the final stretch of planning a wedding. We could not recommend him more. read more

Our first dance was a hit, thanks to Andrey! We had several sessions with him and learned a lot! Andrey listened to our music options and suggested the song that would be easiest for beginners - and he was absolutely right! In addition, we loved that he suggested a non-traditional dance style for us (swing) based on the song we chose! His instructions are clear and he was patient when we struggled on certain moves, including suggesting to keep trying or pivoting to something else that may work better. Andrey helped us create and clean up our dance choreography, and our guests were thrilled that we ended with a lift and a dip.

Our wedding's first dance was an absolute hit, all thanks to our Andrey! Andrey is fun, knowledgeable, and an experienced dance teacher. Using his tools and teachings he helped us to be in the moment and have fun during our 1st dance. At first, I was a little intimidated but his process is bulletproof. Beyond teaching the steps, he helps bring the chemistry of dancing - that intangible connection that makes dance truly special and under his guidance, we learned to convey our style through movement. As we talked about our wedding with our family and friends they all mentioned how awesome was our dance. Thanks again Andrey and highly recommend him for a 1st dance or just for fun! read more

My fiancé and I had such a great experience learning a first dance at Ballroom Dance in NYC. We walked in with two left feet and walked out feeling more confident than ever. Thank you!!! read more

We could not have asked for a better dance instructor! My spouse and I had 0 dance experience and 1 month to our wedding when we met Andrey. In fact, I myself feel so uncomfortable with dancing that I don't even dance at clubs. Not only did he teach us how to dance, he crafted an amazing choreography for our first dance. Thank you for making our wedding so much more special Andrey! read more

Such a fantastic experience, Andrey is truly the best, he prepared and taught us a great dance for our first wedding dance. Highly recommend! read more

Andrey is amazing! He taught my fiancé and I a cute dance for our wedding. He's very gentle, knowledgeable, experienced, and will slow down or speed up to meet your level. Although we had a very short amount of time to take classes with him, he made every effort to make sure we learned the full dance. We plan to continue taking classes with him after the wedding :) read more

Andrey was a great teacher, I was so nervous about learning my first dance for our wedding and he was methodical, thoughtful and easy to work with. Looking forward to using his lessons on the big day and beyond. read more

If you want your first dance at your wedding to be perfect, Andrey will get you there! My fiance and I had no dance experience and wanted our first dance to be something that felt uniquely us and wasn't too far out of our comfort zone. Besides being an amazing instructor and extremely helpful and constructive, our dance lessons leading up to our wedding were a fun date for us to look forward to each weekend. We both feel extremely comfortable and confident going into our wedding and I know it will be a success! read more

In preparation for our first dance, we booked lessons with Andrey at Ballroom Dance in NYC. Andrey was an amazing dance instructor! He choreographed our entire dance and was very patient with us. He made sure that my significant other and I were on the same page with the routine before moving forward. Even when we said we were confident in the steps, he could tell we weren't and really made sure we took our time. Andrey is very knowledgeable and patient! 5/5 would recommend! read more

5/5! Andrey was a wonderful dance instructor. My fiancé and I thoroughly enjoyed our lessons and looked half decent by the end! We were shocked by the progress after 5 lessons. Andrey made everything approachable and easy to understand. Would highly recommend!! read more

Andrey created our wedding dance- he made us feel very comfortable and the whole process was a lot of fun. Highly recommend.

We had such a wonderful experience with Andrey preparing for the first dance at our wedding. He is a very talented dancer and choreographer, but also an amazing teacher. We were complete newbies and he guided us all the way up to having an amazing performance that we received many genuine compliments on. Our lessons actually turned into very fun date nights where we would go out after and discuss what we learned and what to practice! Overall, I would recommend Andrey for any dance needs - NYC Is lucky to have him! read more

Andrey is absolutely fabulous to work with. He made us feel comfortable, listened to what we wanted, and worked with us (to the best of our limited abilities!) to choreograph a dance that perfectly fit our style and our song. We wish we could have brought him to our wedding! We left each lesson feeling a little more confident, and thoroughly enjoyed the experience. We would highly recommend Andrey! read more

My fiancé and I signed up for dance lessons with Andrey to help us prepare our first dance. Before our lesson, we were not optimistic about our dancing skills: I had ballet experience from when I was young, and I play music (so I can keep a beat), but that's about it; my husband had absolutely no rhythm. We wanted to do a Viennese waltz. Some may have thought it impossible: Not Andrey. I am amazed by how much we've improved. With his encouraging and professional teaching style, Andrey makes us both feel less awkward while dancing. He's also great at choreography, considerate of what "moves" we feel comfortable doing. I definitely recommend Andrey to couples who want to do a lot more than "sway" for their first dance, but have a long way to go! read more

Andrey is without doubt the guy to go to. We had our wedding during the pandemic and Andrew was a phenomenal instructor. First off, he was incredibly quick to respond and there was seamless communication when scheduling our lessons. He was in tune with our dancing abilities and curated our first dance to our needs. He was excitable and made my husband Andrew and I feel at ease. We learned our dance in less than 6 lessons! He even taught us a few fun jive moves as a bonus! Thank you Andrey for your commitment to us. We appreciate it all!! - Best, Mar & Andy read more

I cannot say enough amazing things about Andrey's dance instruction. My husband and I worked with Andrey for our first dance, and the experience was not only professional, but taught us a deeper understanding of dancing that will take us through our lives. Though we had some experience with partner dancing, Andrey was able to provide my husband with an understanding of how to lead in a way that was always positive and allowed him to make large strides in every single lesson. He was able to help me also become better and in our first dance I felt like a superstar on the dance floor. Our dance was totally customized, designed around how we wanted our guests to feel and how we feel about each other. Our guests have repeatedly told us that our first dance was a highlight of the wedding. Andrey is a true artist and a dedicated teacher, able to take someone at any skill level and provide them with a positive experience and the confidence to keep going. I cannot recommend Andrey enough for anyone whether you are taking your first step into the dancing world, or want to go deeper. read more

Andrey was such an important part of our wedding because we finally learned how to dance!! Andreys approach to our dance lessons made us feel comfortable and confident. We had a lot to learn! But by the end of our lessons, Andrey choreographed our entire first dance and we also just had great dance techniques to last a lifetime. Highly recommend him as an instructor and also recommend to have lessons for your first dance!! Although andrey gave us lessons for our first dance, we were feeling so confident with our dancing we were rocking it on the dance floor even after our dance was over!! read more

Andrey taught my first dance and it stole the show at my wedding. He is kind, patient and funny and learning from him made dancing fun ( I am NOT a dancer ) I highly recommend making this investment if you want your wedding day to be truly spectacular read more

Andrey was amazing! From the first day his suggestions and guidance was super helpful. He explained things extremely well for first time dancers. Our wedding is this week and we are no longer apprehensive to go out in front of everyone. And it was also fun. Each lesson was very fun with lots of comedic relief when we would mess up. Andrey worded things in a way that we knew exactly what we needed to tweak for the next time practicing. My fiancé and I even discussed continuing our dancing journey as it was a fun post work night read more

My fiancé and I took dance lessons from Andrey and he choreographed an entire first dance that was tailored to what we liked and what we were comfortable with in terms of skill level (we both have two left feet so this was a small miracle). He was also very fun to take lessons from and we had a great time! I definitely recommend him for anyone who wants to learn to dance! read more

Andrey is a fun, honest, and encouraging teacher. It is an added bonus that the lessons are private and you do not need to share the dance floor or instructor's attention. We have been working with him for about six months ahead of our wedding and couldn't be happier with the results. read more

I danced with Andrey for past 15 years and he choreographed my Wedding dance. He was sooo great I had him teach a lesson at my reception! Everyone loved it. He is professional and works tirelessly to ensure you look great whether you are doing a competition, wedding dance or studio showcase! I highly recommend him. read more

We initially were going to do one or two lessons before our wedding, but ended up doing 5 because we were learning so much and we're having fun with it! We'll also be continuing after our honeymoon. He's an expert and is also polite and a lot of fun -- we really enjoyed the lessons so much more than we expected. Highly highly recommend Andrey! read more

My fiancée and I took classes with Andrey for our wedding dance and we can't recommend him enough to other couples, especially those who have no idea what type of dance to go with. Neither of us knew a thing or had ever danced before going in. We gave him the song we wanted to use at the first lesson and he choreographed and taught us a dance that was easy enough to learn in just a few weeks, but also looks great. He's also a great teacher and made the lessons fun. Going in we were a little worried the hour lesson would drag on but it seemed to fly by each time. Our wedding is in a week and we can't wait to perform in front of our friends and family. Thank you Andrey read more

My fiancé and I went from knowing absolutely nothing about ballroom dance to having an incredible choreographed dance where we really look like we know what we are doing in only 3 lessons. Loved working with Andrey - he made dancing simple and effortless! read more

We had such a positive experience taking dance lessons with Andrey. He was very patient, professional, and fun to work with. We are feeling confident and excited to perform our first dance at our wedding! read more

Andrey was absolutely fantastic to work with. My (now) husband and I took 5 classes with him to choreograph our first dance for our wedding. Neither of us have much experience with dancing and Andrey was able to teach us so much in an easy and fun way. Our first dance went so well because of the classes we took with him. Highly recommend using Ballroom Dance in NYC. Thanks Andrey! read more

Andrey is great! He's obviously super knowledgeable and professional, and he's really good at being flexible with the choreography to come up with whatever tweaks are necessary to make you feel comfortable and happy with the dance. We only had time to take 4 lessons with Andrey, but after just those 4, we feel totally ready and comfortable with our dance going into our wedding--spins, turns, and dips included! Thanks Andrey! read more

My husband and I took several lessons with Andrey to prepare for our son's upcoming wedding. He was very patient, professional and an excellent teacher. We enjoyed our experience and feel confident that we will be more comfortable dancing the night away at the wedding this weekend!! read more

We took lessons with Andrey for our wedding. Andrey was accommodating to our level and super friendly with his instruction!

I couldn't recommend this more- my wife and I worked with Andrey on dance lessons prior to our wedding. He was incredibly accommodating and a great teacher, as well as someone who made learning very enjoyable. I enjoyed how he pushed us and made the experience fun. Just a great person to learn from. The only regret I have is that now I have to find another excuse to get my wife to get dance lessons with me! Seriously, I cant say enough good things, I guarantee everyone would have a great experience! read more

Great instructors, very attentive, and patient. If you ever wanted to learn some real moves, this is the place that will make it happen for you. No judgment, no pressure, very well explained, demonstrated, and organized lessons. Great experience. Thank you ballroom dance in nyc! read more
