Daniel went above and beyond our expectations. He truly listened to what we wanted, understood our vision, and executed everything even better than we could have imagined. His attention to detail and the quality of his work were incredible. We couldn’t be happier with how everything turned out and would absolutely recommend Daniel to anyone looking for someone who genuinely cares about getting things right.

About Daniel Lee Tran Dancesport
I am the ONLY provider on Thumbtack in the Bay Area with BOTH a United States National and World title in addition to dozens of Professional Top Teacher/Studio awards within the industry, ensuring that my years of experience can be helpful to prospective clients. I am also the only provider with students that have earned National/World titles of their own. My students enjoy success through a structured plan and curriculum. When a student has a specific goal, we lay out a timeline and make steps towards a good result with each passing week. As an instructor, I understand the importance of organization and establishing continuity with lessons. My experience and high standard of accomplishments have allowed me to cater to students of all levels, from wedding and social to highly competitive athletes. In addition, my rates and policies allow me to be one of the most accessible instructors in the Bay Area. Outstanding customer service and quality instruction are what I strive to deliver with every single lesson. Through my methods and my ability to effectively communicate information via multiple formats, I will guarantee that a student can go home from their first lesson fully knowledgeable in ways that will allow them to continue learning beyond the lesson time as well as comprehend how to reach their goals in a sensible fashion. I love to see the positive impact dance has on others. Helping people reach their goals and the happiness that comes with it is priceless and besides learning to dance, students gain in many other aspects of their lives as well. Dance provides a structured activity where students can enjoy seeing their progress as well as a social activity, health maintenance program, stress relief, and much more.
Reviews
We loved working with Daniel for the first dance of our wedding. From the very first lesson, he made sure to meet us at the level we felt comfortable with. We’ve received so many compliments from guests about our dance! It’s been a joy working with him!
Daniel helped us choreograph our first dance and taught us every move from 0 to 100! He was great at breaking steps down into understandable parts, as we were are both first time dancers. He also helped us stitch together 2 songs for the final 2 part dance. Thank you Daniel for the awesome lessons, we had a lot of fun learning from you!
Daniel is fantastic! His professionalism and expertise is exceptional. Thank you Daniel, for helping to create a lovely father-daughter dance.
Just signed up for my first class with Daniel! He has been extremely easy to work with — very friendly, knowledgeable and responsive. Looking forward to working with him!
Dan made us feel so confident and we had so much fun at our wedding! He taught us in three lessons two weeks before our wedding and was so flexible to make it work for us!! we had no experience before! Thank you Dan!
My granddaughter was so excited to have this surprise for her birthday party. It was a great success. Dan did great.
Dan is great to work with and flexible with my schedule. I’ve been working with him off and on for the past several years and highly recommend him!
Dan choreographed the first dance for our wedding in very short order. He is truly an expert. We had several people tell us it was the best first dance they had ever seen (and we are absolutely not dancers by nature). Dan was super responsive and made scheduling easy. I would highly recommend him for weddings from personal experience, though it was quite apparent that he can teach many other types of dances as well. It was a fun and very fulfilling experience! As I await the professional photos, I can just attach a very blurry one from the groom's mom.
I did not have a lesson with Daniel but his communication and clarity are top notch. If our schedules aligned I would absolutely hire him!
We hosted a corporate event and wanted to do beginner Salsa class for our team. Daniel was not only very fast at responding to our inquires, however he also was professional and worked with us to ensure our team felt comfortable dancing. It turned out to be a very fun and memorable day for our team and they all walked away with some new salsa moves! We look forward to having Daniel back with us for a future event!
Dan choreographed our first dance for our wedding. We reached out to Dan about 3 months prior to our wedding date which I felt ended up being the perfect amount of time to work on the dance leading up to the big day. He worked with our schedule and was awesome at communicating. He made us feel comfortable and made it easy for us given this was the first time either of us had done anything like this. He has very fair pricing as well. We are very happy with the outcome and got awesome photos from our dance as well!
We worked with Dan for our wedding first dance choreography. We were very happy with the choreographed dance and the instruction we received when attending classes. It was often challenging to schedule our next session with Dan due to his busy schedule with his lessons and competition commitments.
Taking beginner ballroom with my fiancé and having fun. Dan is patient, flexible and a great instructor!
Dan was a blessing in our wedding! He helped us designed a beautiful dance using our favorite song in Cantonese and was very good at teaching us all the steps and poses even though we are both beginners. Besides our first dance, Dan also helped teach my wife and her dad their father and daughter dance just one month before our wedding. Dan was patient and encouraging, making these lessons valuable memories to all of us. All of our guests loved our dances and they were the highlights of our small COVID wedding. Dan’s rate is fair and you will definitely not regret working with him!
Very professional and accommodating. Easy to communicate with and very passionate about his work. Looking forward to future work with Dan!
We were looking to learn some dancing tips for a first dance at our wedding. Dan was enthusiastic and encouraging throughout the process. After 5 sessions, we ended up with a really great 2 min choreographed dance. We were surprised at how quickly we progressed with his guidance despite never having danced before. We're excited to show off what we learned. Thanks Dan!
If you’re considering Dan for your dance lessons, go for it! Seriously, stop thinking right now and send him a message. He’s very responsive and his first meeting is complimentary which sets him apart from other instructors, so you have nothing to lose and everything to win! We met Dan only 19 days ago, but it feels like we’ve known him forever. In those 19 days, Dan choreographed and taught my fiancé and me our First Dance in six lessons. I was nervous at first because I had never taken a dance lesson before, and you’re supposed to start learning your First Dance months before your wedding and only do final finishing touches your last month. We approached Dan less than four weeks before our wedding. Even though it felt like such a huge project to undertake so late, Dan made it so fun and so easy! He’s very quick to choreograph steps. Sometimes we came in early and got a chance to see him train other students and he’s SO enjoyable to learn from and interesting to watch because he’s incredibly knowledgeable about kinesthetics and can really simplify complicated concepts to make the steps look as effortless as possible. If you’re a complete beginner like me, know that you can put your trust in Dan. Be open-minded to try things, and if you’re struggling, just be honest because he’s flexible and can modify the routine to address your concerns. Have fun with it!
Daniel has been a great instructor - wanted to learn the basics of salsa even though I have 0 experience. He has made the journey easy, enjoyable, and one that I want to continue in the future. Thanks Daniel!
Dan was epic to work with! Dan was so responsive and professional especially being flexible in timing (we were late some times, but it does go both ways). Our first dance was truly perfect for us - Dan tailored it to the two songs we wanted and he even created the mix including the transition to align our counting! We definitely feel we got more than what we paid - especially as we had two weddings so got to dance twice, but we have also danced our first dance at home just because we love it so much <3 Thanks forever, Dan!
