Christian’s Review
How doth one deliver a site of web review that which compares to the elegance and transcendence of Olivia's instruction in the art of dance?

As an engineer who loves a good musical number, there were a few key requirements I had while researching (in great scientific depth) the many dance instructors of Orlando. Like all of my wedding vendors, every possible dance instructor was placed into my 1000+ element spreadsheet for analysis. With a single lesson from Olivia, we knew the following:
- Her dance studio is private. As such, you don't have to practice dancing to the "beat" of your instructor yelling "SLOW... QUICK, QUICK... SLOW!" over the volume of three+ other instructors and their music. Let me tell you, I know how to find the beat in any song, so it is IMPOSSIBLE for me to dance to the beat of someone counting while real music is playing on the surround sound. With Zebra Room, you NEVER have to worry about this.
- We only pay for the private lessons. We did not have to purchase asinine "parties" or "group lessons. This was a huge plus. Ain't nobody need to be spreading those germs and pay for it.
- Speaking of payment, Olivia's prices are extremely reasonable. She is easily 20%+ less expensive that all the big "dance companies."

Okay, so that is the quantitative stuff. What about the artsy-fartsy side to all of this? Olivia taught ACTUAL dance styles for pretty much her entire life. She isn't a "ballroom dance instructor." She teaches you how to ACTUALLY DANCE. She doesn't focus on learning steps as much as she does shows you how to move your entire body. While the big name companies sit there and just make you move your feet, Olivia pushes you for posture, core placement, hand pressure, arm straightness, and so much more.

As folks who have never danced before, both my fiancée and I decided on 20 private lessons at the Zebra Room. For us (because we are perfectionists who actually practice at home), we learned the basic steps in 2-3 lessons and had our entire 3.5 min song beautifully choreographed by the 8th lesson. Lessons 9-10 were for fine details. Lessons 11-20 are all for us to learn other dance styles and practice our first dance.

So what does this mean for you reading this? Are you the one interested in dancing and your fiancée is on the fence? Well, make this a date night like we do! Every dance lesson night we work up a nice appetite dancing then go grab some dinner afterwards to discuss. Completely musically inept? Olivia is patient but firm. So this means don't take offense if she is short when giving directions, she is literally trying to not waste any of your money you spent with her. Both excited to do something completely out of the norm? GREAT! Olivia has you play your song and just magically dances something into existence. If you want drama and acting, she'll make your first dance look like a Broadway musical! If you want more prim and proper style, she'll do that for you too because she taught ballet!

I cannot possibly say enough positive things about Olivia as an instructor. I have had many private instructors over the years in many different subjects. She is by far one of the most passionate, caring, and just plain-d@mn good teacher I have ever had.

Even after the wedding, we plan on doing the occasional lesson with her to keep our butts moving. None of us need to keep feeding into this new, unhealthy fad of getting fat after your wedding! 😛

Thank you Olivia for being the best!

My wife has been an avid fan of ballroom dancing since the day we met and she has always encouraged me to dance with her at times when we were out. So I decided I was going to go over and above the standard "8th Grade Shuffle" for our wedding dance. I was nervous as I had not taken a single dance step in my life, but I was committed to learning because of my wife's passion for dance. When we met Olivia for the first time I told her I was a beginner, but she was patient and worked with me to learn the very basic dance steps. It took a few sessions for me to get the hang of it, but Olivia was patient with me, determined to help us and very encouraging. She gave me the confidence that I could succeed at it, which made all the difference in the world.

For our wedding dance we picked the song “Alegria” by Cirque du Solei. Alegria means “joy” and is a beautiful song that expresses the passion for life and each other that my wife and I possess. While this gave me the motivation to give it my all, it was still difficult as the song lyrics are written in three languages, two of which are not my native language. In addition, the version of the song that we chose is five minutes, which I quickly learned is a very long wedding dance, especially for someone who is a beginner. Olivia saw the passion in us to make the dance spectacular and we were blown away with her commitment to helping us. What started off as a basic box step, quickly evolved to a whole new level. Olivia was able to choreograph a dance that included lifts, dips and turns, while beautifully fitting the song as well as to our abilities. In the end the dance was amazing and all of our guests were on their feet with eyes glued to the dance floor. It was magical and still gives me goose bumps.

We are fortunate to have met Olivia and grateful for her dedication to help others and passion for dance. I enjoyed dancing so much and plan on continuing to learn more dances, making it a regular activity!

So excited to share that I’ve (Olivia Gale) been voted Best of Wedding on the knot by my wedding couples for 2021... this makes 10 years now & my heart is so proud to have this honor...I’m always so excited to read my couple’s reviews as well as those couple’s parent reviews as well... just received my plaque 😊many thanks to you all...
