My husband and I worked with Inna for our first dance. As soon as we showed her our song, she was able to make up choreography on the spot- it was very impressive! She broke everything down for us and made learning the steps so much easier!
Inna was so flexible and easy to work with. Going to our lessons was the highlight of our week. We left every lesson in such good spirits. In the midst of wedding planning it was such a welcome change of pace.
Our dance was a HUGE hit at our wedding!! We really couldn't have asked for a better instructor or experience

We had the pleasure of working with Inna on our wedding first dance and it was such a great experience! She made the lessons fun and comfortable, and simple to follow choreography that didn’t feel over the top or unnatural. Would highly recommend if you’re in need of a dance teacher for your wedding!

If you're looking for an amazing dance teacher to help make your special day even more magical, Inna is your person! From the moment we met her, she was so warm and lovely, making us feel completely at ease. We shared our love story and told her we wanted our first dance to be to Pat Benatar's We Belong—definitely not your typical wedding song, but she was more than happy to work with it. She was incredibly patient (we’re definitely not professional dancers!)
Inna created a stunning and personalized choreography that felt so us. It was beautiful, unique, and never pushed us out of our comfort zone. She even thought about the little details, like how things might look for the photographers and videographers. We had one dip and she said: "Make sure you pause here! Smile for the camera—this is going to be the shot!" It was clear she wanted it to be amazing for us.
She also choreographed a dance for us to do with our parents (Father-Daughter / Mother-Son). She gave us really great suggestions for music that we loved and she was so flexible with scheduling since our parents had to travel a long way to join us. Her studio was spacious and comfortable, which made practicing a breeze.
We couldn’t be more grateful to Inna for adding such a meaningful and memorable touch to our wedding day. If you’re on the fence about taking dance lessons, don’t hesitate—Inna is an absolute gem!

Inna was the best! My fiancé and I had never taken dance lessons before and Inna made us feel totally comfortable and confident. We picked out music together and she immediately started choreographing a dance , even teaching us a few dips and lifts to impress our guests. The dance lessons were one of my favorite wedding prep activities because we could take a moment together to be silly and have some fun.
The dance was a huge hit at the wedding- our band even said it was the best first dance they’ve ever seen! It was a highlight of the night and a perfect way to start off the party. If you’re thinking about taking lessons with Inna- DO IT. Inna will choreograph you the perfect dance and you can tell how much she loves it too !

Forever grateful to beautiful Inna for creating our timeless wedding dance. We are no professionals but with Inna’s guidance we were able to nail down the routine in just weeks. We had a blast while learning and it really added to our wedding planning experience. Thank you to the most accommodating, genuine, talented dance teacher who has become a lifelong friend.

We found Inna after a disastrous first dance lesson elsewhere. We were one month out from our wedding and I didn't know what to do, but I was immediately at ease with her positive and calm demeanor. She was patient and helpful with us throughout the 5 lessons we did with her. Neither of us would consider ourselves good dancers by any means, but with Inna's help we were able to perform a beautiful first dance that I will never forget. Inna made the process an absolute pleasure and honestly the only part of wedding planning I miss is working with her! I could not reccomend her highly enough.

My husband and I had the absolute pleasure of working with Inna Brayer as our wedding dance instructor, and we couldn't be happier with the experience for our September 2023 wedding! From the very first lesson, Inna made us feel comfortable and confident, even though we hadn't had many opportunities to dance together in the years we dated.
She was patient, encouraging, and offered just the right amount of challenge to make us improve without feeling overwhelmed or seem robotic. Everyone loved our first dance! If you're looking to impress your guests, call Inna before she doesn't have any open spots!

Inna is the best! My best friend and her husband took lessons with Inna for their wedding last year, and once I saw their AMAZING first dance I knew I wanted to take lessons with her for my own wedding. My husband and I aren’t experienced dancers, but Inna made all of our dance lessons so fun and stress free. She choreographed a beautiful dance and we looked forward to our lessons with her every week. We went in with zero experience, and Inna taught us lifts and dips that we never thought we could learn to do with only a few lessons. She made us feel so confident for the wedding and our first dance was flawless thanks to her amazing teaching. We got so many compliments on our first dance, and my brother and his fiancée were so impressed that they are going to take lessons with Inna for their wedding this year!

The absolute best in the business! Inna is a class act and made my husband and I fall in love with ballroom dance. Her choreography for our wedding suited us so well and our guests were blown away. It is such a special moment to look back on and we couldn’t be more grateful to Inna for making this experience so wonderful.

We were blown away by Inna’s professionalism and her ability to choreograph our wedding dance in such a short period of time. She made us feel super comfortable throughout the whole process and put together the most beautiful dance that truly embodied our love story. Whether you are a beginner or have some level of dance experience, I highly recommend Inna if you have a wedding coming up. She caters to your abilities and your strengths and is the most kind, understanding, and compassionate dance instructor you will ever meet. Couldn’t say enough good things!

Inna is the perfect instructor. She choreographed a dance that left everyone teary-eyed at my wedding. As someone who didn’t know how to dance before walking into the studio, I was amazed at how in just a few short weeks Inna was able to change that. She puts her all into every minute of the lesson and is very dedicated to her craft. A genuine gem of a person!

The best in the dancing business!! Inna was able to get my husband and I ready for our wedding dance in less than a week. And my husband has 2 left feet. Inna is the best to work with and knows how to work with any limitations her clients may have while still producing a 5 star performance.

We could not recommend Inna more. Absolutely the best dance instructor and put together the most beautiful first dance for me and my now husband. She listened to what we wanted and was able to pivot with new moves that matched our comfort-level and style. We will cherish the dance forever!

Inna is AMAZING!!⭐️⭐️⭐️ My husband and I took only 4 lessons with her and were able to perform a beautiful first dance at our wedding! My husband never had any prior dance experience and came out looking like a pro! 😋😋😋 Inna is just amazing at what she does, very thoughtful, caring, and patient! She makes you feel good about what you’re doing and will always explain/demonstrate again if you don’t understand something. The best instructor!!! Highly highly recommend!! ❤️❤️❤️

We’ve worked with Inna to prepare our first dance and she was honestly one of my favorite people who work with! We started early and truly enjoyed our bi weekly lessons! She created a unique song and helped us to work through 3 of our favorite songs!
We highly recommend her and are actually thinking to take some lessons for fun! Sh
She really made both of us feel like pros even though we both never done ballroom or advanced dancing 💃 🕺

OMG! Run, don't walk to book Inna for wedding dance lessons! I heard about Inna first through word of mouth and via Facebook. She is absolutely amazing to work with! She is very patient and kind. She will work with you and your partner based on each person's skill and knowledge level of dance. She's not afraid to push you to be adventurous and try new dance moves that you thought you might not be able to accomplish. My husband and I had so much fun at our wedding dance lessons with Inna! I really cannot say enough good things or recommend her more highly! Do it! Inna is well worth it!!!! Love her!

Inna is the best. Me and my wife can not dance at all and are essentially the most awkward dancers you’ll ever see. When we were planning our wedding we kept pushing taking dance classes until the very end. With 3 weeks left we found Inna, and let me tell you.. she performed a miracle. With only a couple of lessons Inna taught us how to dance like professionals. Each class was fun, delightful, educational and entertaining. She took one listen to our first day song and instantly knew what would work for us. We ended up coming with a beautiful first dance that me and my wife will remember for the rest of our lives, and so will our guests. Thank you Inna.

There are no words that could describe how grateful we are to Inna. She managed to become a close friend in the few short weeks we had with her (and we even invited her to the wedding😊). In 10 lessons, Inna managed to transform us from gramps (what we loving call my now husband because he’s 30 going on 75) to professional dancers! We wanted to combine two very different songs into a seamless first dance and Inna exceeded all of our wildest dreams! She worked with us to see what we were comfortable doing and what we wanted to look like and came up with the perfect dance that allowed us to open up the dance floor at the beginning of the night. We’ve already planned to do more lessons with her after the honeymoon because she made us fall in love with dancing and learning. With her busy schedule, she always managed to find a time for us that worked well – not too early because my husband had been working overtime, but also not too late since we had to do a lot of weekday prep to fit our schedule. In the few short weeks we had with Inna, we couldn’t have asked for a better teacher and now friend and family.

My husband and I were blessed to have worked with Inna for our first dance. My husband who has two left feet and didn’t want to dance at the wedding at all did a 180 after just our first class with Inna. He fell in love with dancing and couldn’t wait to go to each class. Inna’s passion, attention to detail, and creativity is one in a million. She created a dance that was unique, worked for us as a couple, and not repetitive like all the other wedding dances we have seen. We truly looked like professionals and had a blast throughout the entire process with Inna! Couldn’t be more thankful or recommend her enough!

Inna is the best! She made all my bachata first dance dreams come true. I had a very specific vision of a dance that didn’t feel choreographed and forced- one that felt and looked effortless, and Inna exceeded all my expectations. Every lesson was super fun and she even managed to engage my then fiancé when he came tired in scrubs after his long hospital shifts. In the end we had so much fun, a memorable first dance, and I have a husband who can dance bachata. Win. Win. Win. P.s she also taught my parents a tango and made my mom’s lifelong dream come true. Highly recommend trusting Inna with your first dance or parents dance dreams.

Inna Brayer is absolutely amazing, sweet, talented & so easy to work with! I love to dance and danced ever since I was a little girl my husband however doesnt love dancing as much. But with Inna we both learned to dance in legit 5 lessons and looked like professionals! She put together a dance for us exactly like we wanted not too staged like its a whole performance but so natural and beautiful at the same time!

Wow! Words cannot express our gratitude for Inna. In just our first lesson, She listened to our first dance song and created a beautiful first dance for our wedding in minutes. She took her time and was patient through all our lessons teaching us and perfecting our dance. She taught us how to dance with immense fun and love. We took about 11 lessons and each one was so fun and exciting. We would look forward to our lessons every week!
In additon, she also choreographed a short and sweet dance I had with my mom. Truly an incredible and hard working teacher. Highly, highly recommend!!
