Stephanie Shapiro

Stephanie is a great instructor! She spent time getting to know us and understand what kind of first dance we wanted. She then choreographed an incredible dance we were able to learn and master in just four lessons that dazzled all our guests. Truly didn’t know I had that type of dancer within me! The lessons themselves were fun and engaging. Stephanie is not overly focused on formal steps and counting which allowed us to explore moves we might have thought were too complicated otherwise. We really loved our experience!

Stephanie was a fantastic instructor. She really listened to what we wanted and created choreography that captured both the music video and our Stranger Things-inspired story. Our guests are still talking about the dance! The free self-practice sessions included with our package before the wedding made a huge difference and helped us feel confident and prepared for the big day. We highly recommend booking with Stephanie!

This is really the best dance studio I’ve ever been to. We’re preparing for our wedding dance, and took a few date night lessons as well as a private lesson. The lessons are really well paced and they really make the most of the time — in one night, you learn two dances with your partner! Stephanie was amazing and taught us how to improve our dance and stances, which was super helpful!

We had such a wonderful experience learning our wedding dance with Stephanie! She is incredibly experienced, passionate about dance and so patient with us throughout the entire process. She made every lesson fun and enjoyable, and her warm, caring personality made her feel like a mum looking after us. We always felt supported and encouraged, even when we struggled. We couldn't have asked for a better teacher and highly recommend her for anyone preparing for their wedding dance! Also, remember to practice :)

Stephanie was an excellent instructor who went above and beyond to help us craft a beautiful wedding dance together (in a short timeframe and with an unexpected injury!) that we were so excited to perform. We would highly recommend her to anyone!

My husband and I were paired with Stephanie for the 4-class wedding dance package. Scheduling was really easy, and Stephanie designed a custom 1.5-minute routine for our first dance song. Stephanie designed a routine with lots of movement and twirls that photographed really beautifully (but was still easy enough for us beginners!). Stephanie walked us through every movement and detail. One bonus is the studio has enough space for you to practice, as long as there isn't an event going on. We took advantage of that and tried to do a little practicing ourselves after class when we could, which really helped us memorize our routine. I would highly recommend Stephanie and this studio! Remember to bring your wedding shoes!

We had an absolute blast working on the first dance for our wedding with Stephanie! She is a great teacher and choreographer, we are so happy we decided to do a choreographed first dance! Everyone was very impressed with our dance and doing these classes together was a fun way to de-stress from wedding planning. I would definitely recommend Danznik and Stephanie for anyone looking for wedding dance classes (and don’t be scared if you don’t have a lot of dance experience!)

My wife and I took dance lessons with Stephanie to prepare for our wedding first dance, and it was one of the best decisions we made. Stephanie is incredibly patient and supportive, especially for beginners like us. She took the time to understand our skill level and comfort zone, and carefully choreographed a routine that felt natural while still looking elegant and impressive. What really stood out was her sense of aesthetics and creativity. She didn’t just teach us steps — she helped us create a performance that felt personal and meaningful. Throughout the process, she made learning enjoyable and stress-free, which was so important during the busy wedding planning period. Our first dance turned out beautifully, and we received so many compliments from our friends and family. It truly became one of the highlights of our wedding. We’re very grateful to Stephanie for her guidance and would highly recommend her to any couple preparing for their special day.

Stephanie was our instructor for our wedding first dance and she was absolutely phenomenal to work with!! We didn't expect to have as much fun as we did, and the dance lessons were a really fun night activity for us. Steph was always so accommodating of our schedules. She also chose choreo that fit our personalities perfectly! We really loved our experience here and appreciated all the giggling and fun we had with Steph. She's so sweet and it's very clear she absolutely loves what she does.

My husband and I took our wedding dance lessons here with Stephanie. She was amazing at highlighting our strengths and creating a unique and meaningful dance with us. We really enjoyed going to the studio each week, spending time together and working towards a goal. Stephanie was so supportive throughout the process, kept us accountable, and also took our input into consideration. Our dance turned out amazing, and we'll always look fondly back on our time working with Stephanie!

We had a great experience with Stephanie Shapiro learning the first dance for our wedding! The space itself was great, with 2 rooms for lessons and practicing on our own. Stephanie was very easy to coordinate with and was flexible to our schedule. We had a lot of fun at every lesson - Stephanie was reassuring, keeping it light even when we were struggling. She was able to choreograph a dance that fit the style we wanted and looked professional, but wasn't too difficult for a couple beginners to learn in 4 lessons. We received so many compliments on the dance - it was definitely one of the more memorable parts of our wedding night for us and our guests.

We waited until the last possible minute to do a choreographed dance for our wedding, but we were able to get a great dance together thanks to Danznik. Our instructor, Stephanie Shapiro gave us the tools we needed to do a routine that was fun and unique to us. She was patient, knowledgeable, and very fun to work with. We also took advantage of Danznik’s free practice time available for wedding couples which was incredibly helpful for us with our tight deadline.

My husband and I took classes with Stephanie before our wedding. We weren't looking for anything fancy; we just wanted to learn how to dance well together. Stephanie knocked it out of the park - we had the best time and know we know how to dance together forever :)

Stephanie was the best teacher ever! She was FUN, kind, patient, and direct with us. She gave us great feedback throughout our four lessons, helping us to improve with each visit. Also, it was just an awesome date night each week leading up to the wedding. We honestly looked forward to our dance lessons each week as a way to destress from all the wedding planning chaos. I could not recommend her more if you are wanting your dance to feel special and personalized.
