My wife and I got married on September 29, 2007, and we took 10 lessons with Nathan beforehand. We had no formal training, but we were always considered the best dancers among our (admittedly rhythmically-challenged) group of friends, so we wanted to do more than just rock back and forth to Etta James for 3 minutes. After doing a ton of research and visiting a number of NYC dance studios, we decided to go with NY Wedding Dance because 1) the price was significantly lower than most places; but moreso, 2) the crew there seemed willing and eager to challenge us. When we said that we wanted to include a lift, most other instructors cringed, but Nathan said, No problem. Each lesson was very professional and a lot of fun. The practice floors are totally private and quite large. We really choreographed the routine together; he listened to our suggestions, and included moves that we saw on Dancing with the Stars. But Nathan always made sure that we didn't get so wrapped up in the technique that we lost our connection with each other.
