What People Say

From first-time students and wedding couples alike

"Could barely keep a beat when I started. A few lessons in and I'm two-stepping no problem. Nolan never made me feel dumb for messing up."

Daniel | Austin, TX

"Was so nervous about our first dance. Nolan kept it low-key and fun and by the wedding I was actually excited. Guests kept asking where we learned. Loved working with him."

Jen & Alyssa | Round Rock, TX

Meet Nolan

Hi, I'm Nolan Wayne, a professional dancer and instructor based in Austin. I danced in Dancing with the Stars Austin, but these days I spend most of my time teaching, and there's nothing I like better than watching someone who swore they "can't dance" finally have it click.

I specialize in beginners. If you've never taken a lesson in your life, you're exactly who I built this for. I break every move down into simple, manageable steps and keep things low-pressure and genuinely fun, whether we're working on your wedding first dance or your very first Ballroom, Country, or Swing lesson.

Everyone has their own reason to dance, and I'm proud to teach all of my students with patience and zero judgment, regardless of gender or orientation. Let's find yours.
