Testimonials
Ryan and Briana Powell
“We had a great experience with John choreographing and teaching us our wedding dance. When we sought him out we had a few ideas for what we wanted our dance to look like but couldn't explain it. John was patient with us and gave us multiple options bringing together our vision. He created two dances for us, one for our first dance and another for a party starter! We loved learning from him and seeing it all come together. He was very patient, creative and was not rigid when we gave feedback on things we wanted to incorporate. His goal was for us to have a great experience that would last a lifetime. Our expectations were exceeded and our guests loved this element of our ceremony. Occasionally we get to bust out our moves on the dance floor at other events which we love as well! We recommend him to anyone looking for something extra that's not only a spectacular memory for your wedding day but a skill you'll use for the rest of your life.”
