Dancing Together

My fiancé and I had never danced before but wanted to learn some moves for our first dance. Rebecca asked us a few questions about our personalities and took all of that in mind when she recommended a dance style for us. We took 10 lessons with Rebecca and learned so much. We looked forward to every dance session because Rebecca kept it fun and taught us the perfect amount to practice each week. Not only did we have a ton of fun learning to dance, we gained a lot of confidence and rocked our wedding dance! Thank you Rebecca for not only teaching us how to dance, but also making the journey fun.

My father and I took 2 dance lessons with Rebecca for our father/​daughter Wedding dance. We loved Rebecca so much that we would have taken more lessons, but my father was only visiting San Diego for 2 weeks.
Then my husband Ian and I took 5 dance lessons with Rebecca for our first dance. Ian has never lead while dancing and I was very unfamiliar with proper dance steps. Rebecca taught us so much and was so patient with us extreme amateurs.
Our first dance went beautifully and just 2 lessons with my father, made a world of difference.
I would highly recommend dance lessons with Rebecca and would go back to her again!
Thank you Rebecca!

Rebecca is the perfect woman. She fun. She’s charming. She’s graceful. She has good taste in music. She, uh… where were we? Oh yeah, the Unilocal review.
(FOR THE GUYS: She’s good. It’s not painful. You’ll learn what you need to learn.)
How many women can tell you that your moves suck and still have you coming back for a second conversation? My fiancée and I met swing dancing and we came to her for a «refresher» before our first dance (please don’t tell her about this review). As it turns out, I needed more than a «refresher» as my technique apparently totally sucked. Here’s what I like about Rebecca:
1. She’s not afraid to tell you that you suck. I did, and she told me… gently. Again. And again. And again. And again. Even more importantly, she helped me suck less. +1
2. She has a high attention to detail. I appreciate that. If you don’t know how to draw a straight line, you can’t be an architect. We spent the entire first lesson correcting my frame and a single turn. This was important, because it lays the foundation. More importantly, it allows you to signal to your partner. +1
3. She understands priorities. After the first few lessons, we talked about time limitations before our dance and what we wanted to achieve. We shot for less than perfect but good enough (Voltaire, blah blah blah). This allowed us to get to where we needed… comfortably. +1
4. She knows when to call in help. We wanted to try some aerials (flips). She connected us with a guy who does aerials because he had the safety equipment and the partner to help us with that. By the way, she is perfectly capable of doing this herself as she demonstrated later in helping us troubleshoot the flips, she just felt his setup would be a better learning environment. +1
5. She is a good interpreter. Meaning, she can translate what we think we want into what we actually want. After I almost dropped my fiancée on her head doing an aerial during a session (again, not either woman’s fault), we decided to abandon the flips and replace them with lifts. Dropping your newly minted wife on her head in your first dance = bad. Keeping her conscious with no blood on the white dress for 4:08 = good. Thank you, Rebecca. +1
What more can I say? Thank you for keeping my wife safe. Thank you for keeping me sane. Thank you for teaching us how to dance… proper-​like. You’re awesome!

I wish I could give six stars. Silke is a fantastic teacher. She taught an uncoordinated individual like myself how to sort-​of dance in just a few short lessons. I highly recommend her.

Rebecca was a great teacher! My husband and I, who have never danced, felt very comfortable with her, and she came up with a lovely first dance for our wedding. I couldn’t be more pleased and my husband and I had such a great time at our wedding (but also during our dance lessons).

We took a series of lessons from Rebecca and Isabella and were very pleased. Both are very patient and able to explain each little move in such a manner that we both got it. The price is right and the location is convenient. We were very pleased and will be back for more when we’re back in town.

My husband and I went to Rebecca for dance lessons in preparation for our «first dance» at our wedding. Neither of us has any recent dance experience, so we were pretty nervous and intimidated by the thought of 100 guests watching our every move. Rebecca was awesome. She was patient and knew how to teach in a non-​technical way that we could understand. We also really appreciated her flexibility with scheduling. If you are trying something new or just need a brush up, she is a great teacher and our dance went off without a hitch.

Wanted to learn salsa… had very little experience and Rebeca is VERY patient and helpful. I really appreciate her comments and guidance. Have improved considerable and would recommend to anyone that wanted to learn to dance. Private setting makes it more comfortable and easier to learn. Thank you very much!!!

My Husband and I took classes with Rebecca. We are both horrible dancers and we were terrified about our first dance. From picking the song to learning the moves she helped us all the way. She was kind and honest. She pushed us to come out of our comfort zone. With all the planning that goes into a wedding sometimes dance lessons are pushed to the side. I realize now that taking the classes at Dancing Together was the best investment into the wedding. Our guests were shocked and really amazed that we were coordinated and it looked very romantic. In just 5 classes and a lot of practice we were able to pull it off. Thanks Rebecca!

Dancing Together is a wonderful studio with wonderful instructors. My husband an I have been taking lessons for over a year. We’ve been working with Rebecca, who is incredibly patient, on three different dances. I highly reccomend the private setting, especially for those who may feel a bit uncoordinated. You will feel at ease here. It’s a great place to learn and it’s so much fun that we’re still going.

We’ve just wrapped up a summer of dance lessons with Isabella to get ready for the first dance at our wedding. She was really wonderful and made us feel so confident getting ready for the dance. We met with her, probably about once every two weeks for three months. The lessons were $ 65 for 45 minutes. At the end of our time, we had learned the basic moves for our dance as well as an intro and end. Everyone at our wedding thought we looked good and effortless! That’s really a testament as I’m quite clumsy and my fiancé is not a dancer. Isabella was also a lot of fun to work with at the lessons. I told a lot of people that she was a borderline couples therapist at times. We got really frustrated during one lesson — though we were pretty grouchy having come straight from our bachelor/​bachelorette weekend in Vegas, so severely dehydrated and sleep deprived — and she was always able to help us stop snipping at each other and focus on the dancing :)
She was really great. We’d highly recommend her for any of you other engaged couples trying to learn a few steps before your big first dance.
