Expert Dancers in Seattle

Beginning Dance Instruction for Weddings & Parties, Ballroom, Swing, Latin, Salsa, Tango, & Country Intermediate to Advanced Instruction for experienced or competitive DanceSport dancers.

Hi, I am Shannon

I am THE WEDDING Dance Specialist in Seattle since 1992.

I always bring my sense of humor to the lessons! Don't worry! I enjoy watching Dancing With The Stars but I don't think that you would want your own dance to be that over the top at your wedding. Feel free to call me for a phone consultation. I am very experienced in all dances and most types of music. It is my goal to listen to you and adapt to find a dance style that is suitable for your personality. I will not try to make you into something you are not. I especially enjoy working with fun couples and making partner dancing a great way for them to show off their teamwork.

You will be discriminating with everyone else you hire for your wedding, you should be as picky with your dance instructor.

There are no hidden costs or time wasting sales pitches on your lessons. I am up front with my prices and everyone gets the same deal. I will NOT try to sell you contract memberships or "included" groups and parties. Some places offer cheap ?Introductory Specials? These are NOT designed to teach you to dance, they are a sales procedure. I will not waste your time with these.

Of course other dance studios will take your money but that doesn't mean they really want you to learn to dance in so few lessons.

I have watched other teachers try to teach a Rumba or a Waltz even if it doesn't match the music. It is painful for me to watch the looks of disappointment on their couple's faces as they don't get it.

In the busy wedding season my evenings are completely booked because so much of my business is repeats or referrals.

 

 

Wedding Planning

Make your dreams come true! Picture yourself floating across the dancefloor confidently and comfortably on your wedding day. Your friends and family will be in awe as he dips you back and seals the moment with a kiss.

You will learn the proper way to hold each other, secret signals for lead & follow, how to enter and exit the dancefloor.

Share the fun

How about a group lesson for your wedding party? a lesson can be scheduled at our studio in a private room or Shannon can come to your party, rehearsal or reception. Instructors can work with your band or DJ to provide entertainment style instruction.

 

     

  • The highlight of my wedding day was our first dance! The dance lessonsleading up to the wedding were so much fun. We were both so excited to surprise everyone with everything we had learned. Brandon was confident and I just let him lead me through to a perfect ending. Everyone stood up clapping, cheering and some were even crying! At the end of the night we both agreed the dance was one of the most romantic and exciting moments of the whole wedding!
    Thank you so much for an amazing dance,
    Erin and Brandon Curtis
  • Hi Shannon, You would have been proud!! Telli and Kelli pulled off their dance with cheers from their friends who were all gathered around the floor. The beginning of the dance fit them so well and at each spin or flourish (the matador, the bits of swing, the slow turn around, the dip and kiss) the onlookers whistled, clapped and cheered some more. Telli and Kelli loved every minute and Doug and I smilled and felt proud. It was great! Thank you so much for all your help. Will send pictures when we see them..... k
  • Thanks a million, Shannon!
    Thank you very much for your lessons! You are a great teacher and know how to have fun with your students.
    Best of luck in your career! Rodica & Chip
  • We very much enjoyed our first lesson with Dance Experts, and are looking forward to our next 2.
    The lessons are at a very nice pace, and we have a lot of confidence in Shannon, our instructor.
    Dance Experts is an excellent selection for first song wedding dance choreography.

  • Shannon immediately eliminated our "first dance" jitters. Her bubbly personality, coupled with her expertise, made our dance lessons so much more than just learning the steps - they were actually FUN! I would refer anyone and everyone to her for their lessons, and I will never forget the ease that we felt during our first dance on our wedding day.

  • Shannon was the perfect choreographer for us. We picked a Michael Buble' song and Shannon knew every word. She really helped us to hit the highlights of the music and everyone loved our dance.
    --Jennifer & Nick Wells
