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

    Sandro is THE BEST

    My time working with and learning from Sandro was one of the best experiences a beginner could ask for. My fiancee and I were looking for a dance teacher approximately 2 months before our wedding when we signed up for lessons with Sandro. Both of us were completely inexperienced and untalented at dance (0 years of formal training, no previous exposure or interest to dance), yet we wanted to be able to do a complete choreographed ballroom dance in these two short months. In that short amount of time, Sandro was able to introduce the basics of ballroom dance to us, teach us a variety of routines to be flexibly incorporated, and choreograph a beautiful routine (3-4 minutes) that made us look and feel elegant, graceful, and competent. Sandro is a patient teacher who has an eye for even the smallest details, whether it is the choreography, timing, or musicality of the dance. He is experienced enough to cater his teaching style to individuals, as he had to take numerous approaches to get me to understand the same concept. Although I only learned ballroom dancing from him, he appears to be experienced in a large variety of styles, so he is perfect for nearly any genre of classical dance. On a personal level, Sandro is a very comforting and joyful presence; he creates a non-judgmental environment that is perfect for any student, and knows how to critique without being harsh or hurtful. With each lesson, I felt both my competency and confidence grow. He is an excellent teacher, an expert of his craft, and a fun guy to be around. For anyone interested in formal dance training, especially those with no background, I would recommend Sandro immediately.

    Incredible dance instructor

    We cannot say enough amazing things about Alessandro! From the very first lesson, he made us feel so comfortable and confident, even when we had no idea what we were doing! He is incredibly patient, talented, and genuinely passionate about what he does. Every lesson was filled with laughter, encouragement, and so much fun! He took the time to make sure we felt comfortable with every step and helped us create something truly special for our wedding day. What could have been a stressful part of wedding planning turned into one of our favorite experiences together! We are so grateful for his kindness, dedication, and amazing energy. We couldn’t recommend Alessandro enough to any couple looking for a dance instructor. He is truly the best!

    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!

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.
