Hold Me Closer Dance and Wedding Production offers choreography and private lessons for couples getting married, family dances, and group dances at weddings. However, I don’t limit myself to weddings! I have experience choreographing solo, ensemble, and large group performances for competitions, recitals, and auditions. I am also experienced in teaching partner dances that aren’t choreographed.
Even if I don’t have experience with the particular style of dance you are looking for, I’m a particularly fast learner and absolutely can serve your needs after a little research.

Hold Me Closer Dance and Wedding Productions stands apart from other wedding dance instructors by combining personalized choreography with a full-service approach tailored to each couple’s story. Instead of offering one-size-fits-all routines, I build dances that reflect clients’ musical tastes and emotional connection, provide flexible lessons, and do all this while keeping all the details in mind to ensure smooth timing on your big day. I prioritize clear, patient teaching and practical techniques that make movements reliable under wedding-day pressure while also offering styling, floorcraft, and performance coaching so couples look as confident as they feel. By treating every engagement as a production—with every detail thought through from beginning to end—I deliver a cohesive, stress-reducing experience that leaves guests impressed and couples genuinely comfortable on the dance floor.

The pricing model begins with choosing items off an à la carte menu or choosing to have a fully choreographed routine. The à la carte menu is priced per item. The fully choreographed routines are priced by the number of 30 second choreography increments you choose.
The next part of the pricing model is based on how many hours of lessons you need. While the first two hours are required in order to teach foundational steps and leading and following, the amount of lessons you need after that is dependent on how quickly you learn and gain confidence.
In short, my most basic package (which includes a foundational step, 1 turn/trick combo, 1 basic dip, leading and following instruction, and musicality instruction during a 3 hour lesson) starts at $550.
