All couples between humans (no bots) are welcome to join me on the dance floor. It's hard to find a life partner (after all there's only a few billion people on the earth) and you are lucky enough to have found your partner in crime. So, let's dance!
While it can be helpful to pick a leader before we start, truthfully, you can decide as we are dancing.
I've even had two brides switch mid routine, who would lead and who would follow. They both enjoyed "the big dip" and their guests loved their dance.
Most couples who come in for dance lessons don't have dance experience. Even if your partner took "dance, tap, and ballet" growing up, performing with a group is a lot different than partner dancing. Look, if you: - have no dance experience. - haven't picked a song. - have no idea how to get your vision into your feet. Then I'm happy to help. No idea is too wacky.. So, if you're looking for fun wedding dance lessons with a Down-to-Earth instructor, then let's get started.
Fun Loving Couples. You don't need to have any rhythm or any dance experience. I don't care how old you are because you're never too old to learn to dance. Gender doesn't matter. As long as you've agreed on a leader and a follower, then we can make magic. If you are a nice person then let's connect.
Numbers only reveal one part of the story. It is important that we both value each others time. My website answers most questions and a quick phone call or email usually takes care of the rest. The first lesson is $200 for In-Person and $75 for remote. This lesson will provide you with enough information to decide if we're a good fit. Couples have enjoyed working with me not because I'm the cheapest but because I deliver 10 times the value they expect. There are plenty of studios offering $25 introductory specials ready to give you a $1,000 6 month contract.
Private lessons with Rae are 100% Private. You don’t have to share the dance floor with other couples. You don’t have to wait your turn to play your song. It’s just us and we get right to work on day one. No surprise fees. The studio space is included in your lesson rate.

Refunds/ Cancellations/ Rescheduling/ Emergencies:
Services are non refundable. The first appointment provides all clients with an opportunity to get to know if I am a capable of helping them reach their dance goals.
Rescheduling request must be received no less than 48 hours before the appointment otherwise the appointment will be subject to a cancellation fee. Please note I understand last minute events happen, but non emergency cancellations (stuck in traffic, stuck at work) result in my being charged by the studio in addition to my turning down other clients.
Major Emergencies! There are 2 types of major emergencies. One involves the ER. If you experience a major emergency that affects your ability to continue dancing together please let me know and I’ll see what can be worked out.
