About I know you can dance

I know you can dance

I teach wedding dance in a completely private studio—no one else around—so you can relax, laugh, and be yourselves. Every couple arrives nervous and leaves confident. My goal is to make your first dance simple, joyful, and true to your personality. I create an atmosphere that’s warm, fun, and pressure-free, where movement grows naturally from your connection. You’ll feel at ease, prepared, and excited for the moment when all eyes are on you. It’s about authenticity, not perfection—a memory that feels real and completely yours.

What sets me apart is how efficiently and personally I work. In just 2–4 lessons, we create your dance and capture each session on personalized video so you can practice at home. That’s how we minimize lessons and maximize results. I don’t teach stiff choreography; I teach a language—lead and follow—so you can dance together comfortably for life, not just one night. Every lesson is creative, safe, and empowering, blending artistry and empathy to make the process fun, freeing, and lasting.

In three words: Creative, Fun, Reassuring

    Wonderful & Lively Wedding Choreographer

    We are fine on a dance floor, but neither of us has ever been trained, and our first dance came out looking properly choreographed. That is Sandro's doing. He picked the song with us and built something that looked polished and still felt like us. His pacing is what made it stick. We took a few lessons three or four months out, across a few weeks, until we were ready to work on it alone, and he gave us videos to practice from: him dancing it with us, and the two of us dancing it together in the studio. That is what made the practice between sessions productive. When we had got as far as we could by ourselves, we booked one more session, and he put the icing on it, down to expressions and when to breathe. On the night we knew the dance cold, and it was pure fun. It ended with spins, a lift, and a dip, and guests had been filming in anticipation of the lift. It landed cleanly, and the room lost it. People came onto the floor for the next few songs and into the hora straight after. Worth every lesson, and then some. He is a seriously good dancer and an even better teacher. Book him whether or not you have ever danced.

    Sandro!

    Sandro is an incredible instructor and a wonderful person. We went in with zero dance experience. He helped us choreograph and we quickly gained confidence together, all in a relaxed and enjoyable atmosphere. This was overall a fantastic experience!

    The Best Dance Teacher. Period.

    We love love loved learning from Sandro! He is truly a dance genius — we walked in with our song choice and within minutes he had choreographed a unique dance that was the exact vibe we were going for and had us dancing by the end of the first lesson. It only took us two lessons to master it! We are so excited to show it off to our friends and family at our wedding. He made dancing so much fun and is a true joy to be around. If you are looking for someone to help with your first dance, look no further — Sandro is your guy!

    Engaged Couple

    Neither of us had ever danced before, and we walked into our wedding first dance feeling completely confident. That’s all Sandro. His energy is contagious and his experience shows. He knows exactly how to meet two total beginners where they are and build from there. Our song wasn’t a common one, and he choreographed the whole thing around it rather than fitting us into something off the shelf. He taught us a real variety of moves, and every session was genuinely fun. We looked forward to them. If you’re nervous about your first dance, book Sandro. You won’t regret it. Highly recommend!

    Terrified groom to confident dancer

    From day one, Sandro from I Know You Can Dance made us feel at ease and genuinely excited about learning our first dance together. My wife is a natural dancer, but I was nervous about being in the spotlight with zero experience. Over our five lessons, Sandro's clear and confident teaching style transformed me from someone who couldn't dance into someone who actually felt ready to lead on our wedding day. He was warm and respectful throughout the process, never making me feel rushed or judged, which made all the difference in building my confidence. By our final lesson, I had the moves down and felt genuinely excited to dance in front of all 180 guests. His Broadway-level technique and reassuring approach delivered results that wowed everyone at our reception. Thank you, Sandro, for making our first dance one of the best moments of our wedding!

My lessons aren’t about memorizing steps — they’re about finding you in the dance. I teach in a completely private studio, no one else around, so you can relax and be real. We focus on connection, comfort, and confidence — not perfection.
Most couples get everything they need in 2–4 lessons, usually three. I work quickly and intuitively, so we build your dance efficiently and joyfully. I want you to feel independent, not stuck relying on me for weeks.
Yes! Every session includes personalized videos that show exactly what we covered, so you can practice at your own pace. That’s where the magic happens — when you make the dance your own.
Absolutely. I can edit your song to the perfect length or even blend multiple songs seamlessly, so your dance feels complete and cinematic without dragging on too long.
In a private Midtown Manhattan studio — 939 8th Avenue, entirely yours for each session. Privacy is essential; it lets you learn freely, make mistakes, and grow without anyone watching.
I read people quickly. I don’t waste time watching you struggle — I guide, simplify, and give you tools that work. I use humor, clarity, and empathy. You’ll learn the language of lead and follow, which is about trust, not gender.
Perfect — that’s exactly who I love working with. My job is to help you turn fear into fun. Most couples walk in nervous and walk out smiling, confident, and genuinely excited for the big day.
Three private lessons, choreography designed just for you, personalized videos, music editing or mash-up when needed, and a phone consultation before we meet — all in a relaxed, creative, judgment-free space.
You can absolutely continue if you wish, but most couples don’t need to. If you do, I offer a reduced rate after your third session.
