REVIEWS OF Sophia in Sapphire Dance Studio IN Nevada

Noel Dimazana

There should be another star to give Sophia In Sapphire. She's that good. I have taken the 10 Lesson Dance Challenge and I LOVED IT!!! Its a package of 10 private lessons and 10 beginner group classes. So, I signed up for another 10 lessons afterwards and now can say I am a long term student dancing with Sophia In Sapphire three times a week in the classroom and more importantly... dancing confidently in real-life social situations!!! Dance has now become a hobby of mine. The lessons are VERY AFFORDABLE and the instruction is fun and easy to learn even though I have never had any dance instruction before. I am a professional musician and DJ who has performed at hundreds of weddings. I got interested in learning how to dance after watching a bride and groom share their 1st dance and was blown away at the elegance and style! It was like a scene from a movie! Sophia teaches 1st Dances to wedding couples and makes their moment look spectacular. When I found out she teaches group classes and private lessons I immediately became interested and attended a free class with the intention of just watching. When the class started I saw that it was so easy that I joined in and actually met other people who wanted to learn. The class went by fast and by the end I had learned the basics of Salsa and Bachata. I am now learning basics in Rumba, Swing, Two Step, Cha Cha, Waltz, and The Hustle. I wish I had started learning how to dance years ago. I get to meet and dance with ladies and it has improved my confidence. And in conjunction with the "Dine, Dance, And Date" events it gives everyone a chance to not only mingle, but dance with other singles. I have attended almost every event and have had a great time every time. I highly recommend Sophia In Sapphire. Undeniably the BEST dance instructor in Las Vegas. Noel D.

Sophia helps break down the walls of fear and intimidation that beginner dancers typically have and makes learning how to dance fun and easy. Thank you so much!!!

Sharon Handel

Sophia was fantastic! My husband and I had never danced together before. We wanted to learn social dancing so that we could do something new together. We both love music and the movement of dancing that creates the feeling of a special closeness. And yet, we didn’t know how to reach that goal on our own. Enter Sophia! She is a wonderful teacher. Engaging, relaxed, and so talented. She made the process of learning so easy. We were dancing together within minutes. Sophia instilled a new confidence where we had none. She was always upbeat and confident that we would master each new step. And, she can dance any part, with any partner, to any music. We could not have been more thrilled and satisfied. We will be in her studio every time we’re in Las Vegas. Look for us on the dance floor, we’ll be the couple looking into each other’s eyes and beaming from the fun that Sophia has unlocked

Sophia is by far the best dance teacher I've ever come across. I've worked with other instructors in New York and Vegas and it's not even close. She knows how to break things down so they're easy to understand and just exudes so much positive energy. The classes were a ton of fun and everyone was very friendly. Don't hesitate, just sign up. You won't regret it.

Liza Potselueff

Thank you so much, Sophia! My fiance, Andrew, and I have been very impressed with your lessons. Every time we come in, no matter what the stresses of the day, we come and have fun. Your calm and patient manner really helps us focus on the dance and enjoy the lesson. We love your enthusiasm and positive attitude and you always make us feel like we’re pros. We can’t wait for our next lesson!

Long story short: absolutely worth it. Just do it, nerd! Long story long: Dance to me is like... well, imagine stopping at saloon in the middle of a 2 month horse ride for the coast. You shoot some whiskey that smells like death and head to bed so you can ride out in the morning. But then imagine, getting stopped on the way up by a lady of the night, Anabelle. She's so beautiful that she seems out of place in the dingy saloon. She promises the best night's rest of your life and you can't resist that pitch. Later, you spend the whole night just talking. Turns out, Anabelle has a razor sharp sense of humor and you want all the same things in life. You get each other excited about what y'all can do, and when the sun rises. You know that you would be kicking yourself for the rest of your life if you rode out of her life just like that. All that kicking would be bad for your bum knee anyway so you decide then and there that you're staying. You can't promise Anabelle the world, but you do promise to dedicate yourself to giving her everything you can. I'll spare you the romantic details, but you somehow convince Anabelle to be your wife and you buy a small plot of land 20 miles north of the saloon you met. You and Anabelle raise 4 beautiful and healthy children. Yeah they might pick their noses and touch you with their filthy hands, but they do their chores around the ranch and say their prayers. You realize then, that your life is balanced and you are at peace. You look back and think about how you almost rode out that saloon and lived a different life. In that moment you get a sense of satisfaction from having made the right choice. Kids, Anabelle is dance. She's a woman that you never expected to be in your life but damnit, now that she's here you have to give her as much as you can. So really, it boils down to 2 different types of people: those who rode off in the morning and think about her from time to time... and those who decided to change course, and took the chance to find peace. The end... or is it the beginning?? P.S. Sophia is a fantastic teacher. I have a crippling desire to do everything the right way and she's been patient while giving me as much technique as I can handle. She's also funny and a peach to be around.

Andrew Pastwick

Sophia in Sapphire is a wonderful new asset to Las Vegas. As a novice, I was a little worried about taking dance lessons and I imagined the worse possible result. However, within five minutes of my first dance lesson, Sophia got my two bum left feet moving. In the first lesson alone she was able to teach me the basic steps to several ballroom dances. She is a world class dancer and instructor. Her studio in Las Vegas is very clean and the dance floor is nicely done. The studio even has a café in it for people who need a little caffeine in the afternoon. If you are planning on getting married, you should consider taking ballroom dancing with Sophia. I promise that you will not regret it.

Gabriel Ortiz

I took my wife out on a date for some dance classes and we ended up at one of Sophia's group dance lessons. Sophia was super helpful and was able to make someone like me (with two left feet) look good on the dance floor! We had so much fun, and I got a big kiss from my wife at the end of the night! Sophia does her beginner group classes weekly, and we strongly recommend checking them out (especially if you have two left feet). Looking forward to the next one!

Don Posadas

Sophia is an exceptional dance instructor. I came across her weekly group dance lessons from the Flok app. She made the experience very informative and so much fun that I came back for more group lessons and also signed up for private lessons. She customized my private lessons based on my goals of developing certain latin dances and also learning other new dances. She even accommodated my request to learn other not so common dances like Kizomba. I always look forward to my lessons with Sophia.

Mary Anne Kiel

My husband and I are so thankful to Sophia for working with us over the past two years to improve our dance skills AND to find our passion again in something we both enjoy! We are sad that we are moving and will have to find a new instructor. Sophia has been an amazing teacher and friend! She makes dancing so easy and enjoyable—we were brand new to dancing when we first started and were able to learn enough basics over the next two years to feel more confident and to have fun. Thank you Sophia!

Greg Little

From the very first lesson, Sophia was quick to adapt her teaching to my learning style, and she exuded positive energy. Over time, I had occasion to see Sophia with other students, and how different her lessons were with each student, depending on their needs. I never bought lessons in advance, so I never felt committed to taking lessons, but I kept coming back every week for 2 years -- and I am taking my first break for the moment because I'm taking a sabbatical. I consider Sophia a friend, in addition to a truly unique and wonderful dance instructor.

Ross Ritter

Hey, You gonna do this or what? Sophia is the best!!!. If she can take a country boy from Montana with two left feet and teach him how to dance no I mean to really dance than this is the girl. She is beautiful, intelligent, professional, passionate, down to earth, the real deal, and wow can she dance. And you know what she can break it down so you can also. Her lessons were a birthday present to myself and she made it the best damn present I ever received. You won't regret for one minute that you let her give you the guidance you need. Don't hesitate because she will make you feel so comfortable and take away all your pretensions that will bring you back for more. The only thing that would be more fun would be getting your partner to come to Montana and watch from the bed of your pick-uo the moon and the stars float across the big sky and still be there all tangled up when the sun comes up . And with guidance from Sophia you may find that partner while out tearing it down on the dance floor. Are you getting the picture?? If you want to miss out on life than sit your sugar shaker AKA ass down on that TV Chair. If not then call Sophia and you will never regret the time spent learning something beautiful.

Sherri McMahon

My husband and I cannot thank Sophia enough for all of her help in getting us ready for our big dance moments! She was very patient, kind and creative. She really listened to make sure the dances were a reflection of us.

Deborah Arteaga

If you want to learn to dance, look no further! I am a middle-aged woman who had given up on learning to dance, having tried a big name studio in the past. In just 6 lessons, Sophia has given me confidence and taught me several dances! She is patient and knows that everyone learns differently, so she adapts the lessons to you. The packages include 10 private lessons and 10 group beginner lessons to practice with a variety of dance partners, who are all very nice people. Trust me: it is MUCH better for a woman to learn from another woman, because she can teach you the woman's part in detail and also lead when you practice.

Anne Scully

I found Sophia through searching online for Salsa lessons. I was surprising my boyfriend, an ex salsa instructor, for our anniversary so I wanted to begin as soon as possible. Sophia was the only studio out of four to contact me back and did so on the same day! She is very flexible and accommodating as we were able to begin my private lessons that same week! She is patient and very thorough in her explanations of each dance and each dance move. Sophia can seamlessly transition from the leader to show me how to feels to be lead in a dance move to the follower to show me exactly what my feet, legs, body and arms need to do and what it should feel like. She has a deep understanding of each dance, a wealth of knowledge and expertise in the Latin and Ballroom dancing including Bachata, Rumba, Cha Cha, Swing, Tango and many more. She invited me to attend the Thursday evening group classes and it has greatly improved my coordination and squashed my fear of social dancing. What is great about the Thursday evening is that everyone is typically a beginner so everyone is on the same page! I am also able to learn dances that we do not go over in my private lessons including Waltz and Two Step. It took me 4 years to work up the courage to finally learn how to dance, but I don't know why I didn't start sooner! Sophia makes each lesson and group class so enjoyable for everyone and I always look forward to it. I smile and laugh every time because I'm having so much fun - even in my early morning lesson before work at 7:00 a.m.! I'm really thrilled at my own progress and my boyfriend loves Sophia for teaching me so well and so many moves! I can't say enough good things about Sophia, so if you have ever thought about learning to dance, don't wait and call her today!

Gary Miller

My experience with Sophia has been so incredibly exciting and rewarding that it is difficult to put it into words. First, I am a 65 year old gentleman that has been power lifting for over 10 years, and although I am athletic I am not exactly graceful in my movements, I also have stiff and injured shoulders that make arm movements awkward at best. Next I have one leg 3 inches shorter than the other due to a motorcycle accident. With all that working against me I signed up with Sophia to learn how to dance. Sophia began by teaching me the fundamentals, the proper way to hold a woman while dancing, the posture, the basic steps to each dance. Sophia than took the time to teach me each move of a dance, she is extremely patient, always smiling and encouraging even when correcting my mistakes (which was often). Sophia is as Graceful as she is Beautiful, and although I gave her plenty reasons, she never got frustrated, never failed to praise and congratulate me when I eventually got the moves correct. I also began to attend Sophia's dance class where she teaches a group a different dance every week, and arranges to take the group to Social Dance Events that she calls field trips. This allows members of the class the opportunity to dance with other people in a social environment. During one of these event I took the opportunity to dance with several women and was truly amazed at the fact that although these women had been taking lessons for much, much longer than myself, it was still necessary for me to tell these women how to properly hold me in order to dance gracefully. Their instructors had not taught them the basic fundamentals that Sophia was insistant upon in the beginning of my lessons. And finally, Sophia has encouraged me to enter the Pan/Am NV Ball DANCESPORT Championships held at the M Casino Resort in Las Vegas on August 18th 2016. After only a little over 4 months of taking dance instruction from her. Sophia was my partner and we entered the beginner class in Latin Dance. We danced 6 dances, and we placed 1st in ALL 6, I cannot stress how incredible Sophia is. I have not only learned how to dance, I have learned Latin dances, Ballroom dances, and Club dances in very short period of time, and I have placed first in a dance competition that I would otherwise never even considered entering. Sophia is without a doubt The Very Best Dance Instructor on the entire West Coast, call her if you wish to learn how to dance, or if you wish to improve your dance skills, you will NOT regret it.

Janice Christi Walton

My husband and I highly recommend Sophia as a dance instructor! We took 10 classes with her to learn a first dance for our wedding and she is a phenomenal teacher. She choreographed the perfect dance for us and taught us the necessary moves to feel confident and have fun. She is a very patient and kind hearted teacher who clearly loves sharing her passion of dance with her students. If you are looking to improve your dancing skills, while having fun in the process, Sophia is the teacher for you!

Sol Binkier

I had a girlfriend who left me because I didn't know how to dance. I considered taking dancing lessons but, going to a teacher that only expected me to just follow his steps didn't really help me in any way. So, I decided to forget about it. And for years, I did. Until, out of the blue, a friend invited me to Sophia's dancing meetup group. I didn't really wanted to go and at first I was nervous and didn't know what to expect. WOW!! I am grateful that I gave my self the opportunity to come to Sophia's class. Sophia has that special touch for teaching. She has the skill to breakdown and explain each step and it doesn't matter if you've never danced before. I couldn't believe how fun it was!!! Sophia's personality will make you feel welcome and the good energy is contagious. All other members I met also made me feel comfortable and were more than willing to help. If you're thinking about joining, then come prepared to have a lot of FUN.

Sean Diaz

Coming to this class and getting lessons from Sophia I have learned quite a bit of new dance lessons. The one that stuck out the most and that I enjoyed learning was Salsa. When it comes to going out and going to a club at my age you feel a little bit out of place because the dance moves are limited and a bit redundant so I wanted to learn something other than just your typical bump and grind. After taking many lessons I have learned and appreciated the complexity what it takes to do other dance that are quite fun. One of the best parts was making friends in Sophia's dance classes along the way. It was a great experience and great lessons that I can take with me for the rest of my life. Sophia makes learning dance easy and she teaches it step-by-step and breaks it down easy to understand. I would highly recommend taking a class if you have never danced before and want to learn some new steps.

Amanda Flansburg

I can not say enough good things about Sophia! After getting engaged, I was really nervous about dancing at my wedding. My fiance took dance in college and had a natural rhythm for it, but I am just about the least coordinated person you can imagine. We signed up for private lessons with Sophia and have had the most incredible experience. She is kind and patient and is able to break down a dance into steps that even someone as clumsy as me can understand. She has such a positive energy and works really hard to make sure that we feel good about our dance. Her group lessons are also a great opportunity to learn a wider variety of dance moves and get experience dancing with other people. I can't recommend her highly enough.

William Langham

If you want to learn to dance, take lessons. If you want to understand the passion & reason for dance, take lessons with Sophia. Sophia will teach you the skills needed to look great on the dance floor. Her degree of professionalism is of the highest standard. Sophia's many years of being a dancer, musician, and artist just add to the quality of instruction you receive when being her student. I first met Sophia as a beginning dancer where she taught me basic rhythm & timing steps. Over the next several years I attended several group classes & dance outings with Sophia & her students. In every one of those classes & dance outings I saw the love Sophia's students have for her & watched them grow as dancers. I have witnessed Sophia lead students to competitions and top student awards. Sophia teaches with a passion & enthusiasm unseen in most instructors. So...do you want to dance? If the answer is Yes...dance with Sophia.

Aaron Lashlee

Sophia is amazing. My fiancee and I took dance classes with her, for 10 weeks, so that way we could dance competently at our wedding. The dance she came up with, for us, is awesome. She made sure to go over everything in exquisite detail (as many times as needed as I really do have 2 left feet haha). My fiancee and I had never danced before so Sophia's challenge was to make us look good during our first dance at our wedding. We learned so much from her and we are especially grateful to her for her time, effort, endless positive energy and attention to detail. I recommend Sophia to anyone that wants to learn any dance. The ultimate compliment that anyone can ever give to a business is that they will come back. We will be returning to Sophia's dance classes to learn the waltz, line dances and such in the near future. She is the best and you cannot do better than her as a dance teacher. Thanks again Sophia!!!! Aaron and Ann

Taking ballroom dance lessons has always been on my wife's bucket list, so I decided to surprise her for our anniversary. The dance lessons ended up being a great gift idea, and my wife loved it. We initially signed up for the 10 Lesson Dance Challenge which included ten private dance lessons and unlimited group classes at the studio. Sophia gave us the opportunity we needed to make dancing an enjoyable hobby and a fun idea for date night. So far we have learned basic steps in a variety of ballroom and latin dances, as Sophia does well exposing you to the go-to moves. We even discovered that we enjoyed Latin dancing and swing. If you are looking to hire a dance instructor that clicks or to book dance lessons, this dance school has it going on. In addition to tackling our exercise and fitness goals, we have been able to make friends with other beginner dancers and enjoy Sophia's dance outings as a group activity. Dance lessons have become a bonding activity that sparked our romantic relationship (even better than couples therapy), especially now that I have confidence to dip my wife on the dance floor like a boss.

Chris Kiel

Sophia, our ballroom dance instructor, is fabulous. My wife and I have been taking private classes with her for a year now. Sophia is very patient and teaches at our pace. Had two left feet when I started and now I know Rhumba, Salsa, East Coast Swing, Tango, Foxtrot, Cha Cha, and Waltz. We bounce between dances depending upon our mood, and Sophia doesn't mind at all. Highly recommend for anyone, of any skill level, who wants to learn a new dance or just get better. Thanks Sophia, look forward to many more lessons.

Rachel Cristobal

Sophia is amazing. We wanted to do something special and more than the traditional 2-step for our first dance at our wedding and starting classes with Sophia was such a good decision! Our guests were very impressed, and I must say we were impressed with ourselves as well! We took 10 classes over the course of about 6 months. Sophia choreographed a dance to our song that we were comfortable with, but one that also pushed us to do moves we didn't think we were capable of. My now husband and I have no dancing experience, but on our wedding day you would never guess that . Sophia is such a sweetheart and is very experienced in what she does. You won't regret working with her!

Anne Smith

Sophia helped my now-husband and I with our first dance at our wedding. She was so sweet and immediately made us feel comfortable, even though we had no dancing background. She came up with fun and elegant choreography that ended up impressing all the guests at our wedding, but more importantly we had so much fun dancing and connecting together. We'd both love to continue dancing together as a hobby, all thanks to Sophia! She is an amazing and patient teacher and I couldn't recommend her more!

Robert Morgen

She not only teaches Ballroom Dance Lessons for all levels, especially beginners, but still actively competes - in pretty stunning get-ups I might add. Her teaching style is fun, super encouraging and patient. ;-)

Greg Lagsdin

Sharp,knowledgeable and fun.After a short period of time im very calm performing in front of a large audience and thats quite an accomplishment,normally im quite shy. Ive been taking dance lessons from Sophia for 17 months now and it always feels like im visiting an old friend with our mutual hobby being dance.

Chris Hurd

Sophia teaches very comprehensive lessons and encourages note taking to help facilitate learning.

Al Jensen

Sophia in Sapphire hosts Ballroom dance lessons, classes, events and get togethers, an AWESOME group! Went to the Swing "field trip" at the Tuscany towards the end of June and met some wonderful people, and had fun dancing with confidence as well. Great time!

Ivan Shvarts

Maestra Sophia is the most talented naturally born dancer and instructor,she was teaching tango in Golden Age Tango Academy, here amazing vocabulary and style of teaching made the dance easy to learn, we dearly miss you, wishing you good luck and happiness Ivan Shvarts founder of the Golden Age Tango Academy in the Bay Area

Elliot Cole

Sophia is THE BEST. My fiancé and I wanted to come up with a fun, high-energy dance routine for our wedding and couldn't have done it without Sophia. She helped us learn all the basic steps, choreograph the routine, and polish all the rough edges. She understood our song and what we wanted, and created the perfect dance for our special day. I would absolutely recommend her to anyone (including people like me with zero dance training)!

Theo Nuke

Sophia has a very easy and relaxed way of teaching that made it a breeze for me to learn a very complex dance routine. A consummate professional, well mannered and not overbearing. She takes pride in teaching others the art of Ballroom dancing. Her students are a reflection of her ability, passion and love for Ballroom dancing. She gives each student the confidence to enjoy being on the dance floor. I always looked forward to my dance lessons with Sophia! TN (Theo Nuke) ~ June 2011

Krystal Muro

Sophia is a wonderful dancer, instructor, and just an all around great person to know! She took my fiance and I from complete "what am I doing here" novices to busting out a personalized and fully choreographed dance with confidence, and in only 10 lessons! Our first dance for our wedding was a huge success, and we were surprised by how much we enjoyed the process. Prior to this, neither he nor I knew what we were doing and didn't really care to be in the spotlight. Somehow she brought the best out in us, and we are hooked. Private lessons = phenomenal, but her group classes are great too, and so much fun! Really practical knowledge for competitive AND social dancing. If you're looking for a dance instructor, look no further. Sophia is the real deal!

Joel Schmierer

The business is the people who work there. Sophia, founder of Sophia in Sapphire, has danced since she was 4! While her passion and focus is teaching dances, she is no slave driver! I remember the first time I stepped on Sophia's foot, and she said, "It was a rock." That was funny. She is always smiling and great company!

William Thomas Meers II

Few things in life absolutely terrify me...and dancing used to be one of them...UNTIL I met Sophia and I am so grateful for the changes in my life just from the help of becoming a better dancer. Sophia just has a way of breaking things down (no matter what your level) and making you feel comfortable, when everything else is telling you to not be! If you ever have the opportunity to learn dance, look no further and learn from the best dancer I know! Thanks for everything Sophia, you're pure awesome!
