Listen to what Olivia's Couples have to say about her work in their own words...

"We wanted to do something special for our wedding day, so we decided to take dance lessons and prepare a nice first dance that we would remember forever. We needed help though, as neither of us had any experience dancing. We booked our first lessons through a nationally known franchise studio, but we were quickly turned off by their politics and pricing practices. We felt they were more interested in signing us to another lesson rather than getting us through the ones we already paid for. We came across Olivia's website and were immediately impressed with her qualifications and dance history. We called her to inquire about lessons and from minute one, we could tell we had found our teacher. She was immediately focused on what we wanted to accomplish and how she could help get us there. Our first impression was great, but it didn't stop there. Her teaching techniques and vast knowledge of dance made us feel comfortable from lesson one. After two lessons, we had learned more than we did in 5 lessons at the other studio and were doing moves neither of us ever imagined doing. If you are looking for a dance instructor, call Olivia today. Not only does she have the background and experience of a pro, but her lessons are one on one and very affordable. We couldn't be happier with our decision to learn the art of dance through Olivia Gale..." Eric and Jessica Hall

Heidi and Tommy Weclew / February 10, 2007

"Total Eclipse of the Heart"

Link to Tommy and Heidi's First Dance on You Tube Featured in Wall Street Journal Article

Heidi and Tommy Weclew came to Olivia Gale with a song and a concept that fit their personalities to a "T". Their first dance combined theater, comedy and ballroom dance to the delight of family and friends. With smoke wafting over the dance floor, the couple entered to the flash of lighting and the sound of thunder as The Dan Band's version of "Total Eclipse of the Heart" filled the air. Their first dance got the attention of the media and Ms. Gale was interviewed about her choreography and the new trend toward first dances that didn’t quite fit the traditional mold. There has been an amazing increase in the frequency of requests for first wedding dances that step outside of the box, so to speak. Shows like “Dancing with the Stars” have shown men they can have fun dancing too, and opened their eyes to the possibilities. It has been Olivia's pleasure to work with couples who have requested something different, when it comes to taking the floor for the first time as husband and wife. It becomes a wonderful expression of who the couple is and their relationship with each other. It is a very special way of sharing it all with friends and family.

Whether you want to just learn some dance moves to your special song with an introduction and a finale crafted for you, or a full blown piece of choreography, Olivia will put her creativity to work to make your day even more special. g with a first hand look at how Olivia works her magic with brand new wedding couple Kelly Kauff and Jose Ortiz.

Mandy and "Zeus"

Mandy and Zeus Salgueiro showed off their fabulous "Dancing with the Stars" choreography, a Cha Cha to Michael Buble's "Sway" created just for them for their special day at Ponte Vedra Lodge & Inn in Jacksonville. There's nothing like the romance of moonlight on the beach.

"Olivia did my dance choreography for my wedding. It was amazing and she was fantastic to work with! We WOWed our guests and have Olivia and the Zebra Room to thank!" Mandy Taylor

Colby and Kyle Ferris

"I just wanted to say thanks again for making the dances at our wedding so memorable. Kyle and I had so much fun practicing and performing our first dance, and it was a great experience for both of us. The father-daughter dance was a huge hit and so many people told us how special it was. We really had a great time!" Colby Ferris

Sallie Anne and "Binky" Walsh

Literally "By the Sea" to the mellow tones of Bobby Darin's "By the Sea"

When I met Sallie Anne and "Binky", I knew that they were a couple with a great sense of humor and wanted their first dance to express that humor and how they play off each other. When we began working on "By the Sea" I visualized combining several dance styles in one, along with a little soft shoe to add a little "Zing". They were game to try everything and their comedic timing was perfect!

"Everyone loved it. They were clapping and cheering the entire way through!! We still get comments on how our dance was so wonderful and how it was the favorite part of the evening. Thank you so much for choreographing our dance and working with us we had a blast. You allowed us to be ourselves and let our funny personalities come into play" Sallie Anne Walsh

"We've learned more in this one hour with you than in five hours with the instructor at the other studio we went to" Phillip Bevel (Wedding Couple Phillip and Johanna preparing for their wedding dance choreographed by Olivia)

Aimee and Kurt came to Olivia with a beautiful song, "The Book of Love" and a beautiful concept for their first dance. "Our first dance really made the night. We wish you could've been there to see it live. We really appreciate those lessons. I recommend you to all my friends down here getting married." says Aimee Bressler.

"The Zebra Room is the best studio I've danced at ever! Olivia is the greatest teacher - she made my ballroom lessons fun, challenging, and exciting! She tailored each lesson accordingly and encouraged me to do my best. The studio itself is so cute and welcoming - a great place for beginner or advanced dancers alike. I wish I was still living in Florida, because I would still be taking lessons with Olivia. I have yet to find a studio in the North East that gave me the same comfort and quality Olivia and The Zebra Room gave me." Debbie Lutz
