Derek was absolutely amazing and helped us create an unforgettable first dance leaving everyone in tears! We still remember the first lesson when we said we have 2 left feet and rhythm is not one of our strengths so we only wanted something simple and elegant. Derek was so fun and patient and gave us loads of confidence that we ended up with a 3 multinational song mix and although he did not understand 2 of these, he came up with the perfect steps. We could not recommend Derek enough, even now when we hear any of the 3 songs, we think of the steps and redo the dance in our minds.

Great experience! Derek made preparing for our wedding dance such a joy. From the very first lesson, he made us feel comfortable and confident, even though we started with zero dance experience. His patience, professionalism, and ability to tailor the choreography to match our song and skill level was outstanding. Thank you Derek.

We found Derek just by random on google we read all his reviews and each and every one of them were all top marks . We booked Derek for dancing lessons for our wedding and he taught us a superb dance routine which i will have for ever as memories , his teaching skills we’re absolutely phenomenal, towards the end we found one step in particular difficulty and we became honest and told him and he took it on board and thanked us for been honest and gave us a new step and it went down fantastic . Derek is just fantastic in what he does he was born to dance and he was born to teach dance , his dance lessons are 100% something I would recommend he truly is amazing and I can’t wait to do more lessons with him as a hobby . Thank you Derek for all you have done for us you really gave us a hobby we didn’t think we’d like and now we absolutely love ❤️
