About Anastasia Gordeeva - Dance Instructor
My name is Anastasia and I have been teaching partner dancing for over 10 years! I love inspiring my students to grow and learn new things that might initially be outside of their comfort zones. From passionate Latin styles - salsa, swing, and rumba - to classy ballroom - waltz and foxtrot - I can teach it all in a very simple and fun way. No partner or experience necessary, I will guide you in every step of the way (pun intended)! Whether you start for social, wedding, or competitive reasons, I make sure to take a personal approach and cater each lesson to your specific needs and goals.

I’m very happy I went with Anastasia for private dance lessons. Dancing has always been something that has intimidated me, so I was relieved to have an instructor that was professional, down to earth, and concerned with ensuring my comfort level was a priority along with the content of the lesson. She takes the unique characteristics of each student into account when determining her teaching methodology, moving at a pace that is appropriate for the student’s goals, and stretching their capabilities with just enough pressure to be conducive to a satisfying pace of progress to prepare them for larger events to showcase their dances. These dance lessons are not only an introduction and mastery of the various levels within the dances, but an immersion into the dance culture itself, complete with checkpoints like ballroom dance parties and milestones like Showcases. This provides long term goals for the students, which helps increase the pace of progress. And moving even further, there is the opportunity to take part in competitions once an adequate skill level is acquired. In about three months, I have learned the hustle, east coast swing, tango, foxtrot, and rumba to a point where I can dance them in a public setting with reasonable confidence in my abilities as a lead. There’s still so much to learn, as these dances have levels that take years to master, and I’m confident that if I stick with Anastasia, I’ll get better and better with time, beyond what I had imagined possible at the beginning of this journey. 10/10
Anastasia was a fantastic instructor. She was able to clearly articulate the movements in an easy way to a beginner. She is very detail-oriented and professional.
My wife and I both had an interest in learning to dance. She nor I had ANY experience whatsoever. I would go as far as to say that I have “two left feet”. Anastasia was so good at communication and accommodating to our schedule. After a 45 minute first lesson, we had so much confidence! I couldn’t believe how much Anastasia was able to introduce us to in that time. If you have been thinking about trying dance, but haven’t taken that first step, call her.
Earlier this year I went to a couple weddings with my new gf and when it came time for everyone to dance I found myself lacking the confidence to even get out there with my gf. I decided that I need to change this, so I sought out some lessons and through some quick research, I found Anastasia. I have absolutely no dance experience whatsoever, not even dancing alone for fun. When I told Anastasia this, she was excited and told me that she can work with this because I won’t have any “bad habits/techniques” to correct. Anastasia makes things fun and easy. She breaks down the steps in a way that I can understand. Gives me moves and steps to try when dancing with a partner outside of our lessons. She sends home dance “homework”, so that I can take the lessons beyond the studio. Anastasia is very flexible and works well around my schedule, which is so important to me as a student, with work, family, and social obligations. Taking up dance lessons has been one of my biggest challenges of 2021 but it has been such a rewarding and amazing decision.
My girlfriend and I were looking for something fun to do during the week, and we decided dance lessons were the ticket. Of course, we didn't know anything about the dance community, and landed with Anastasia (and sometimes Enoch) mostly by chance, and their good reviews. I'm so glad that we did. If Anastasia can make a dance lesson fun and effective for a clumsy introvert like me, she's got a real skill! We had lessons weekly for quite a while, mostly focusing on tango. We laughed a lot and learned a lot. Anyway, life happened, then COVID happened, and we eventually fell off the dance wagon (even though we still remembered enough tango to bust some out at the odd wedding). But then my girlfriend became my fiancé, and we needed someone to teach us a wedding routine. We couldn't imagine working with anyone else, and we were SO happy to find that Anastasia and Enoch were still in town, and even had their studio very near by! The proximity is lucky, but we would have driven a good distance to keep working with them. Anastasia worked up an amazing routine for us based on our music choice, and we've been enjoying their new studio space even more than the old one. We look forward to our lessons every week. If you are looking to learn virtually any kind of dance, I absolutely recommend EA Dance Art. Anastasia and Enoch are amazingly talented, great teachers, and great people. I'd give six stars if I could.
Anastasia is an amazing dance instructor! Her friendly, warm personality makes you feel at ease. She takes the time to get to know her student and tailor her lessons to their specific needs. Her passion and love for dance is contagious and motivates you to want to keep improving. She’s great at adapting to the learning style of her student-if you have trouble grasping a concept, she’s great at quickly figuring out an alternative method of teaching to make sure you understand. She’s versatile as well-she can teach individuals, couples, and groups. I would highly recommend her to anyone who would like to improve their dancing!
We’re learning a dance for our wedding and Anastasia is a great teacher! She helped put us at ease in learning something new and we had a blast!
Anastasia is a fantastic instructor! She moves at the pace that my husband and I are comfortable with and she even challenges us with various dances to see what we really enjoy. She's fun, energetic (not overly caffeinated-like) and knows how to instruct two left-feet people like my husband and I.
I was so excited to find her, so we could learn to dance at our wedding. We can't wait to go back again and again. She really makes it fun, and us comfortable. Highly recommend!!!
