Posted on Google Adel MTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We had such a lovely experience with Captiv8! We started with a few lessons with Ed and Oya together, and then continued with Oya when Ed was away. In the end, we had a three-minute routine that we were both so happy with, and our guests absolutely loved it too! Oya was a wonderful teacher, very patient, encouraging and just so lovely to work with. I struggled quite a bit with some of the turns and keeping my balance, and she really helped me get there. She was always very supportive, but also made sure to correct the little things that weren’t quite right, which I really appreciated. We genuinely enjoyed our lessons and couldn’t have been happier with how the dance turned out. Thank you so much to Oya and Ed! Would definitely recommend them to anyone preparing for their wedding!Posted on Google Sophie BelmandTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I reached out to Oya to choreograph my bridesmaids dance for my wedding. She was honestly amazing! from the very first minute meeting her, she has all these ideas to make the dance exactly how I wanted it. She cares so much about her work and making her customers happy - my songs choice were in Arabic and French, so languages she doesn't understand, she took the time to translate and read the lyrics to make sure the dance is meaningful which was super thoughtful of her. She is super professional, creative, full of energy and positivity and made the whole experience just amazing. I would recommend her to anyone looking for a choreographer!!Posted on Google Courtney WheelerTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Oya was truly incredible to work with! You won't find anyone kinder, more supportive, or more dedicated to making sure you feel comfortable and confident for your big moment. Our dance lessons and all the practice leading up to the wedding actually became one of our favorite parts of the entire planning process and it brought us even closer together. I even brought my dad in for a lesson for our father-daughter dance, and Oya was so patient in helping him feel at ease and giving us some moves to avoid an awkward shuffle. Oya truly meets you where you are at, regardless of your skill level. We couldn't recommend her more!Posted on Google Angharad BaldwinTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. While at a close friends' wedding we were completely blown away by their first dance - we asked who had taught them and it was Captiv8 Dance, who they couldn't recommend enough. From our initial interaction with one of the teachers, Oya over text she was so enthusiastic and accommodating. We had our initial lesson and absolutely loved learning to dance with her, she even convinced the rather reluctant groom that dancing was for him. She listened carefully to our vision for our dance and choreographed a routine that felt so uniquely us. Her passion for dancing is infectious and she's a patient and encouraging teacher. Learning our first dance fast became our favourite part of wedding planning. We enjoyed our time with Oya so much we've signed up for a post wedding dance class with other couples. Oya is a generous and kind person, and if you want to impress your wedding guests with your dancing skills don't hesitate to book lessons with Captiv8 Dance.Posted on Google Lauren Wilson-CollinsTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Oya is amazing. We went to her to learn a little bit to avoid an awkward shuffle. But she was so encouraging and supportive that we ended up learning a much more exciting routine and totally fell in love with dancing together! Oya is super patient, with boundless enthusiasm, really kind, flexible, and very responsive - always keen to hear what was working for us and what we wanted to change so that it really worked for us. She gave us such a brilliant experience that we felt it was a real highlight of the whole wedding planning period. And our dance was a total hit! We’re definitely going back for more lessons in the future!Posted on Google Chris Wilson-CollinsTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We booked sessions with captiv8 dance to prepare for a wedding dance at the suggestion of my fiancé. I want massively bothered about it but went along with it. It turned out to be one of the most fun bits of the wedding prep. Oya is such a good teacher, so flexible and so enthusiastic. She doesn't teach you just a routine but how to dance. We found the practice to be an ideal antidote to wedding stress. When it came to the wedding we nailed it, and it felt so good. We even did our dance at home the day later as we missed it. We're planning on doing follow up lessons as we loved it so much!Posted on Google Maxie BeeTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Oya is a true gem, and an incredible dancer and teacher! She worked so carefully with my wife and I, pushing us to expand our repertoire and to go more ambitious with our first dance—but all within reason and in a very attainable way! She is so charismatic it is hard to believe there is anything you can't do when you're in the class. After our five classes we were able to proceed and practice on our own time, but Oya so kindly would reach out and ask for videos, give us tips, and otherwise check in on us before the day. She was immensely supportive of us as a queer couple, excitedly showing us how we could switch off leads mid-dance, and always helping us better our steps by every little bit. The classes were immensely fun, and we were able to execute the choreography very well on the day. The more you put in the more you will get out of it, but Oya is there to be your cheerleader all along the way.Posted on Google Marion CarraTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We had the most AMAZING experience with Oya! 💃🕺✨ From the very beginning, she was incredibly kind, passionate, and dedicated — she didn’t count her time and gave us so much energy and love throughout the process. ❤️ We had absolutely no dance experience (two left feet!), but thanks to her enthusiasm and incredible teaching, we managed not only to learn actual dance steps — but even some figures!! 😲🙌 She created a unique, personalized choreography just for us, based on three of our favourite songs (Aladdin, Queen, September) for our wedding first dance. 🎶💍 Our guests were blown away by the performance — we got so many compliments!! 🥹🎉 We truly LOVED every lesson with her. If you’re looking for someone to help you feel confident, have fun, and create a magical first dance, Oya is the one. 1000% recommended! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Thank you so much, Oya!! 🫶✨ Marion & ElyarPosted on Google Eshadhi SeneviratneTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. 100% would recommend! My partner and I had such lovely lessons with Oya. Really excellent choreography and set out in bite size chunks for us to learn. Oya is also lovely and made us feel so comfortable throughout our sessions, helped us learn choreography that we can use for so many songs too! Super accommodating and professional. 10/10!Posted on Google C LTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Oya helped us with a choreography for the first dance of our wedding and was absolutely incredible, so much that we ended up with an elaborate dance that we'd never have dreamed of doing (we are not dancers). She is engaging, upbeat and encouraging, and she never fails to respond to messages when we need her. She really went above and beyond to make sure we were confident and prepared for the big day, and even outside of lessons we could still really feel her support. For those of you out there that would like to learn to dance, in any style, you are in good hands!
