Maya Moves - Wedding Dance Lessons

  • Dance classes
  • Starts at $250
  • Serves Gardner, IL
  • Offer

Maya Moves was created for couples who want to feel confident on the dance floor without committing to multiple lessons. The private one-hour session begins by reviewing your wedding details and song. Your dance is kept short (about 1:30–2 minutes) so it feels natural and easy to remember. You’ll learn how to stand comfortably together and 3–4 signature moves (a dip, a spin, and moments that fit your song’s vibe). No traditional ballroom steps, just modern, natural movement that looks effortless. You record videos at the end to help when practicing. Maya Moves offers private wedding dance lessons in NYC and over Zoom.

Awarded Best of Zola
Maya provided us with such a fun and thorough experience as we prepared for our first dance, and we only had to do one lesson to achieve a fabulous end result. Maya was incredibly helpful, offering detailed instruction and guidance to ensure we felt confident and looked great on the dance floor. We had the most fun learning new moves and practicing our routine - it really made our first dance a highlight of the evening. We even added in one move after practicing the dance several times on our own. Highly recommend Maya Moves to any couple looking for a first dance that’s isn’t too serious but will still wow, or also for the couple bogged down with planning and looking for a fun, yet low stake commitment to check first dance off the list!

We booked transportation through CharterUP for our wedding and unfortunately the shuttle left about 15 minutes earlier than the scheduled 11:30 PM departure. As a result several guests including myself as the bride were left behind at the end of the night. After I left my review a manager reached out to reopen my case. They were very professional and understanding and worked with me to resolve the issue, which I appreciated. I am amending my original review to 4 stars based on their compassion and understanding. I would recommend that anyone booking confirm that drivers strictly follow the scheduled pickup times.
