AHHHMAZING! My husband and I wanted a choreographed dance for our first dance at our wedding. We happened to be at a bridal show when my husband, then Fiancé, said to me “oh those where my dance teachers from a while back!” Insert Georgi and Adriana. They instantly remembered my husband! They were both so warm and energetic that we just knew they were who we were going to choose.Our first meeting, I had Georgi listen to our song and even as he was listening for the first time, ideas were just flowing to his mind. He took it and worked his editing magic and I swear to you, when I say it was edit perfect… I mean PERFECTION! The edit was done and ready for our second visit where Georgi also had all the choreography finished. I can’t even begin to tell you how much Georgi and I were on the same brainwave! It was beautiful! I teared up when him and Adriana showed us.Both of them are so fun loving! Every class was full of laughs and so enjoyable. I was sad to see it come to an end.If you are here reading reviews trying to figure out who to use, look no more! Georgi and Adriana are without a doubt the way to go!

Im really happy that I became a part of the dancing family present here at Dance A Lot Ballroom Studio. Here, the teachers make every effort to polish a persons (or couples) dancing technique and perfect it. Every lesson is full of serious moments when the teacher focuses on helping one to progress on their dance journey while also including entertaining moments of jokes and laughter. The teachers are professional at all times and put serious effort into aiding one in achieving ones goals. Highly recommend this ballroom dancing studio!

Dance a lot ballroom has been above and beyond my expectations. I’ve been dancing here for about a year now and would recommend it to anyone that is interested in joining a dance class. They kept the facility clean and were so accommodating during the pandemic. George is overall a phenomenal person. He makes the classes fun and easy. He’s a good teacher, funny, professional, just has a great attitude that’s fun to be around.

I had my daughters 9th Birthday party here. The staff is wonderful. They truly went above and beyond to make sure my daughter and her friends had a great time. The owner is very friendly and accommodating. The dance studio is very clean and they did a wonderful job decorating for the party. Highly recommend.

I’ve been taking the adult Salsa Shines (ladies dance solos) and Bachata class for over a year and I love it! This is my zen moment where I focus on learning new steps and it is a great stress reliever. Georgi is a lot of fun but he definitely teaches you the fundamentals and more finesse as you progress. Highly recommend!!

My child was very nervous about dancing but Adriana and Georgi had the best approach to her beginner worries. They made her feel comfortable and worked with her at her level. Watching her confidence soar has been a pleasure to watch. Highly recommend the studio for all your dancing needs, no matter what level or age!

We are in love with Dance A Lot. Our friend introduced this studio to us more than a year ago and we are going there since. Studio is extremely clean, well run and professional. The owners are great, very patient and inspiring, we enjoy every lesson. We are taking group Salsa lessons now, and would take any other group lessons this studio will have, please join us. Would highly recommend !

Dance a Lot choreographed our Father -Daughter dance for both weddings. Due to Covid, we had to postpone a big celebration to April and had a mini weddings in August. Georgi worked with us tirelessly over Zoom and then in-person, helping us to perfect our dance. It was a huge success on both occasions. We received an ovation and there were a lot of tears. We wouldnt be able to do it without Dance a Lot studio. They are simply the best!

Georgi is just passionate about his job, he wants you to learn, he wants you to work hard so you can get your technique down and have fun. I took private lessons with my partner there and have to say i had so much fun but i grew as a dancer and grew closer to my partner. what more can i ask for?

If you are just starting out with ballroom dancing there is no place better to learn! Georgi is an amazing instructor and incredibly patient even with complete novices like myself. He made all the movements incredibly accessable and easy to understand.

Dance a lot can be translated to Have Fun a Lot. We really enjoy the dance lessons combined with humor and wits of our teacher George.

Dance A Lot studio is an excellent place to learn both Latin and Smooth dances . From tango,cha cha, salsa, rhumba and merengue to fox trot, waltz, swing and more, co-owner Georgi Kanev is the most professional and enjoyable dance teacher to learn from. Georgi makes it fun to learn how to dance.

I started taking private lessons in January in Florida. When I returned in June I continued my lessons at the Dance A Lot Ballroom Studio. It has been a wonderful experience. My instructor, Georgi, is extremely experienced and knowledgeable as well as patient. He is dedicated to improving every step I take but also makes the learning both challenging and fun. I am very pleased with the progress I’ve made in such a short time and I highly recommend this dance studio. I never thought that dancing could be so much fun!

I started taking lessons with my husband 3 years ago, I got hooked. I loved ballroom so much I continued the lessons. Georgi suggested I may enjoy competing. Their patience and professionalism is endless in encouraging my goals in ProAm. It’s like spending time with friends and family.

If you are looking to SHINE on your special day, Dance A Lot Ballroom Studio is your #1 stop!!! It has been 1 year since my husband and I got married, and our family and friends still talk about our beautifully choreographed, customized, tear-jerking first dance routine that my husband and I had performed. From day one talking on the phone with Georgi, through the consultation, and to the very last dance class, Georgi and his wife, Adriana, were super friendly and exceptionally professional. They made everything personal, as if you are their only students. They catered to both my husbands and my own level of dance skills; my husbands being pretty much zero, and mine being more of an intermediate level. When the routine was all said and done, mine and my husbands levels of dance were built together to make it look more difficult than it really was! (Turns out, my husband can actually dance!! :D) Everything just flowed and we worked so well together, supporting and helping each other out within rehearsals at class and at home. It brought us so much closer, and we truly enjoyed our time. As nervous as we were before our actual performance, we were soooo proud of ourselves when it was over! We appreciate Dance A Lot Ballroom Studio for making our wedding day more special than it ever could have been. We enjoyed our weeks of rehearsals so much, that my husband and I are thinking about taking up some more classes. Dance A Lot Ballroom Studio does what they say they will do, which is to create the dance of your dreams! And ours was surely a dream come true!!! Just a little SIDE NOTE: I met Georgi at a wedding expo while planning my sisters wedding, about 2 years before I even thought about planning my own wedding. Of course, you leave your phone number everywhere at those things. But I received a call from Georgi with the most upbeat, friendly, happiest message Ive ever heard. I saved that message for over 2 years, not ever guessing that my husband would go along with going to dance classes with me. To my surprise, he agreed to and I called Georgi up right away. It was truly meant to be! But that just goes to show what an impact Georgi had on us from the start. Thank you, Dance A Lot Ballroom!!! Love from Pamela and David!

What an amazing experience with Georgi! Came here for two dance lessons a week before our reception, so we were looking for something basic, yet romantic. Georgi was an absolute pleasure to work with, and his humor had us laughing so much! It was such a fun time learning and dancing. I have attached a picture from our first dance with the dip move that Georgi helped us perfect! Thank you for your time with us!!

We had a great experience at Dance Alot with Georgi. He was able to assist with my daughters Sweet 15 Event in May 2019. He’s a great dance instructor who communicated well with the students and was fun!! He Choreograph three independent dances with different groups. I would recommend Dance A lot Studio for your special event.

As a long time student at Dance A Lot, I have seen my progression from a person with 2 left feet to someone who enjoys being on the dance floor. and is comfortable dancing to different types of music. At parties, we always envied the couples who knew how to dance, and now WE are one of those couples. At a recent wedding, we were having a great time dancing the night away, and our friends kept commenting that our dancing looked effortless and so smooth. Even after almost 10 years, our lessons challenge us with new steps or techniques, and we continue to see our dancing improve along with our balance, coordination and flexibility.The studio is a welcoming place with expert teachers and a great group of supportive students who have become friends. The teachers at Dance A Lot dont just focus on the mechanics of the steps, but allow you to express your creativity in dance and tailor the lesson to your specific goals, whether it be social or competitive dancing or a unique showcase. i leave each lesson stress free and looking forward to my next lesson.

Georgi and Adriana made our wedding day incredibly special. When we first entered Dance a Lot Studio we had no idea of the type of dance we wanted, but Georgi immediately came up with ideas that matched our chosen song beautifully. The dance set the mood and tone of our entire wedding. After it, the dance floor was packed all night long. They made us comfortable and confident in our dance routine and we truly felt like stars. We couldnt recommend Dance a Lot enough to any couple who is considering a choreographed dance or who just wants to learn how to move comfortably together.

When I first started going to Dance A Lot Ballroom Studio I never had experience in Ballroom dancing. From day one, both Adrianna and Georgi made me feel like they are family and made me feel very passionate about Ballroom dancing. They are experienced, knowledgeable, kind, caring, and loving instructors. They make lessons both fun and enjoyable. They have taught me so much in such a short amount of time. This is the studio for anyone from any age that wants to learn Ballroom.

This is the best dance studio ever! greatest environment for kids and adults, lots of social events and interactions, and, above all, highly professional dance coaches. they can teach everyone! Our whole family is dancing (including my 4 sons), and we all love it. great way to spend time together and have fun! There is a catch, though: its contagious :) !

I always wanted to learn how to dance but never dared to try because of poor coordination and misical skills.About 2 years ago I walked into Dance A Lot studio just to inquire about the lessons and I was totally smitten by both Georgi and Adriana. Their genuine friendliness, professionalism and willingness to listen to your individual needs created such a wonderful atmosphere that for the first time in my life I was ready to actually give it a try.Since then these lessons have become something I started looking forward to every day. I just cant live without them any more. And all this is because Georgi and Adi are such superb teachers and such wonderful people.Georgi is amazing at identifying your problem and focusing on it with such dedication that you are left with no choice but making steady progress. And all this is done while having so much fun! Adriana is just so adorable and outgoing and such a passionate dancer that both men and women are attracted to her like a magnet.These dance lessons not only made a dancer out of me although I always thought Iwas hopeless, but they also introduced me to a wonderful warm and charming couple and to their dance friends whom I all love as my own family.They are just the best in this business and there is no doubt about it. I am convinced that soon this will be one of the biggest and most successful dance studios in the US.Tanya

I have been a student of Georgi since January of 2015, taking lessons weekly. My initial goal was to learn Argentine Tango, a dance that looks simple but requires an excellent teacher Georgi never made me feel awkward and varied the teaching methods in order for me to execute the moves. Participating in two of the schools show case events reinforced my confidence. In addition, the adult students who I have met are friendly, supportive and full of enthusiasm. I must add that Adriana, Georgis beautiful and (extremely) talented wife, has also helped me in becoming a better dancer. As a last footnote, I just read that dancing is the best exercise for the brain! The combination of learning dance moves and not being sedentary have been proven to keep our mind clear and functioning. So, whoever reads this, get out there and find this studio! Youll never regret it

I loved this place! Im not a big fan of dancing, but my wife wanted us to learn for our wedding, so I bit the bullet and gave it a shot. Our instructor was funny and professional (put us at ease), and I authentically had a good time practicing there. Id recommend this place to anyone interested in learning.

Lets just say we never thought we were able to dance like this. Georgi and his wife Adriana gave us a dance routine for our wedding that at first glimpse we did not think we could do. However with their guidance and teaching, we were able to have the first dance of our dreams! When we were getting discouraged or stuck, they kept on pushing us, letting us know we could do it. Our dance had it all, a waltz portion, one armed lifts and plenty of spins. Our guests all have said they have never seen a first dance like that ever. A bonus is now we are great dancers for all types of music as well! Thank you Georgi and Adriana for making our special day that much more memorable!

If youve ever been curious about ballroom dancing and wanted to give it a whirl, then this is the place you should go! Georgi and Adriana - the owners - and all the other instructors are welcoming, friendly, and professional. I danced many years ago, but was reluctant to begin again as an adult because I found many other studios to be intimidating and exclusive. I wanted to dance for fun, have the ability to try out different dances and work one-on-one with a teacher, and be able to dance on my own schedule. Dance A Lot has been able to provide that and even more. I feel like I am part of a community, not just an individual dancer. Not only do the instructors know how to dance, but they really know how to TEACH and make dance accessible to students with all different learning styles. Your teacher will help you set a goal and work towards it - with their encouragement and your hard work in the end youll see youve accomplished things you never thought possible! AND youll be dancing beautifully with a big smile on your face.

I took ten dance classes with my parents here, and I have to say it was a great experience! Georgi (the instructor) is a great teacher - he is always very cheerful, but still professional at the same time. My parents dont understand English very well, but Gerogi tried his best to overcome the language barrier, in a fun way too :D Ive met a few ballroom dance teachers before, and Georgi is one of the best!

I simply love Dance A Lot Ballroom! If you are looking for a dance studio, look no further - Dance A Lot Ballroom is the jewel of Bergen County. It is a fabulous and rare find. The owners, Georgi and Adriana, are such wonderful and warm people. My whole family adores them. I started dancing a year after I signed up my then eight-year-old daughter for a group class at Dance A Lot, and now we share a common hobby that is our favorite part of the week. Having Georgi as my dance teacher is one of the best things that happened in my life. He is gentle, listens actively to my needs, explains everything with detail, and is very positive and supportive. He and Adriana, as well as the other instructors at the studio, are incredibly helpful, skilled, and knowledgeable. They possess unique ability to teach adults as well as children in the art of dancing. Every lesson at the studio is FUN and after I dance I go out smiling, laughing, and feeling good! Learning at Dance A Lot Ballroom has helped me and my daughter feel confident and empowered to get out on the dance floor and finally enjoy the music! I recommend the studio to everybody in my hair salon and I want nothing but dance lessons as a present from my friends and family. There is nothing better than dancing at Dance A Lot Ballroom Studio!Thank you Georgi and Adriana, you rock!Diana Bagoyants

Review №39

I was looking for a studio close to home for wedding dance lessons. I’ve heard stories on the news about bigots who refuse to provide services to all couples, but I assumed that only happened in the south or the midwest, DEFINITELY not Bergen County. Then I scrolled to learn about their dance lessons and I found thisWere not LGBTQ wedding dance friendly studioFirst of all, it’s improper grammar. Second of all, I don’t think anyone is “Q” if they’re getting married. Third of all, I think this is the only business I have ever encountered in the North East that has ever been gross enough to refuse services to all couples, let alone advertise it on their website.Seriously, gross. Disclaimer: this review doesn’t speak to the quality of their lessons, just the quality of their character.

My wife and I had no dancing experience prior to meeting with Georgi and Adriana. We also had a tight schedule and began training only about two months before the wedding. We knew we wanted to do something more special and creative, but couldnt come up with it on our own. DALBS did just that for us. Adriana created a mixed audio with our favorite song (Feel So Close by Calvin Harris), which then became the theme song for the wedding.They were able to incorporate a mixture of elegant slower dance choreography which then smoothly flowed into more of a club song. Georgi came up with the entire choreography on his own and it was truly amazing. Everyone was stunned and loved it. We still hear our friends and family talk about our first dance. You can find it on Youtube under Our First Dance Feel So Close. Both, Georgi and Adriana were really easy to work with and were patient with us in terms of going over the choreography and going over each step in detail. It was such a pleasure to work with both of them as they saw were our strengths were and leveraged those to make the dance even more so special. I would absolutely recommend them to anyone for their First Dance, whether it be more simple and classy or creative and fancy. Our short bus commute from Manhattan was totally worth it every week!

Georgi made our first dance dreams come true!!! We first met Georgi many, many months ago when we decided that we wanted to perform a special first dance for our guests. He suggested that since we signed up for 20 lessons that we should make the dance more intricate and boy was it spectacular!! We chose two different songs and Georgis amazing team mixed them together seamlessly! I have never had more fun than performing the dance in front of all of our guests! He is such an amazing dancer and teacher and we felt 100% confident with our routine! Wedding planning is sooo stressful but we looked forward to every week of dance class! It was such a nice break in between all of the craziness of planning a wedding. My husband and I will be going back for couples lessons soon because we miss Georgi so much already! Looking back now a month after the wedding, it was the best money we spent and will cherish the memories forever. I cannot recommend Dance A Lot Ballroom enough! Thank you Georgi for such a magical experience. You will be seeing us soon! XO

My now husband and I had left the entrance dance for the last of our list of things to do for our wedding. There were only 4 weeks left and we didnt have a step for our dance, so I decided to get down to work and find some place where we could go to help us with the choreography. After talking with Georgi, I felt quite relieved to know that I was in the best hands and that he would make it possible for our first dance to be great. SO IT WAS! We had 7 sessions with him, and in each of them Georgi proved to be very professional, he was always attentive to the mistakes we made and helped us to make our dance as perfect as possible. Really, if you are looking for someone to help you with your first dance, you should go to Dance A lot Ballroom. At all times Georgi gave us the security we needed to feel confident that everything would be perfect. On the day of the wedding, the dance was a success, the guests loved the choreography and we were very happy with the work that Giorgi did with us. So much, that we are thinking about taking classes with him again to relax from time to time, and to learn new steps. Super grateful with all your attention, and professionalism. Thank you Giorgi! ....
