Kristina helped curate a wonderful space for our baby shower. She is truly talented and exceeded our expectations. We are already talking about doing the one year birthday party there next!

Leading up to my wedding in February this year, my mother wanted to do something different for the mother/son dance. Aside from a traditional dance, she wanted to add a little Latin flare (Salsa) to our first dance. With the help of Max, who was able to work us into the schedule, we booked several classes with Edward to work on our dance routine. Edward was great! He was an amazing teacher, with the patience to improve our dancing skills as well as choreograph our big dance. It was a pleasure to work with him and Max.

After a few classes with Edward, my wife and I decided to go with Edward as well for a special dance that we wanted to do at our wedding. Since my wife was very young, she absolutely loved the movie Dirty Dancing and had one wish for her wedding, that we would be able to do the "Dirty Dancing Dance". Edward was able to work with us for a couple classes, to help us choreograph this dance as well! He was very helpful to get my dancing skills up to par with my wife's, as well as choreograph the dance and give us some great pointers on the lift!

Both the mother/son dance, as well as the special dance with my wife and I at our wedding, turned out great! We did it! We really appreciate Max and Edward's help with making sure that we were ready for our big dances...after all, we only had one attempt at both of them! Ha!

Thank you!

I am a big fan of this beautiful dance and event space, owned by a wonderful couple who are professional and personable. As a dance professional, I can confidently say that working with Max and Kristina is a real pleasure! My students also love this space and can't wait to come back every week to take a variety of classes. Location is also wonderful and offers plenty of street parking and safe environment. Highly reccomend!

This ballroom is absolutely stunning! We had a baby shower here, and the decor was out of this world! The work Kristina put into making my dreams a reality was amazing. We are so thankful to her and Max. From the centerpieces on the table to the balloon ensemble in the center of the ballroom, what I always dreamed of having for my baby shower became a reality. The owners are very professional, kind, and respectful to what we wanted at our baby shower. Every detail was thought out through and through making the event run smoothly. Nobody wanted the party to end! There was enough room in the ballroom to eat, dance, play games, and entertain! The ballroom was impeccably clean and beautiful. Classy, elegant, and tasteful. It’s exceeded my expectations to the max! Thank you so much Kristina and Max!!

Max was an incredible dance instructor! With zero experience, we came in a bit nervous, but in just five classes, he crafted a first dance that perfectly suited our personalities and music. The choreography felt natural and flowed beautifully without feeling overly staged. It was sweet and perfectly 'us,' and we couldn't be happier with how it turned out for our wedding. Thank you, Max, for making our first dance unforgettable!

This was the perfect space for my 40th birthday. Kristina is so sweet and talented! I sent her inspo pictures and she went above and beyond to recreate the vibe. She was so accommodating and thought of every detail. The experience was fantastic and I would recommend her over and over again!

Thank you for the best birthday party ever! The pictures speak for themselves.

For our wedding, my wife and I wanted to take a few lessons for our first dance, though we had less than two weeks. We had 3.5 private classes with Max, and he magically transformed our first dance into something much more with a lift, a dip, a side dip, and many other moves. He helped us choreograph our whole song & also decided the best dance that complemented our song. He was passionate about teaching us and encouraged us along the whole way. It was so much fun. Max made our first dance much more than we ever imagined.

The tango instructor, Ilona, is amazing, I love the community that she creates. The studio is nice and cute too.
