Your Love Story Deserves a Beautiful Wedding Dance.
Why Your Wedding Dance Matters
Your first dance isn’t just choreography—it’s a moment that belongs entirely to the two of you. A pause in the whirlwind of the day. A chance to breathe, hold each other close, and celebrate the beginning of your life together.
At our Hermosa Beach studio, we work with couples from across the South Bay, including Redondo Beach, Manhattan Beach, El Segundo, Torrance, and the Palos Verdes Peninsula.
At YCD Studio, we help couples create wedding dances that feel:
Authentic — tailored to your personalities and your story
Memorable — a moment you’ll be proud to look back on
Natural — elegant movement without anything cheesy or forced
Stress‑free — taught at a comfortable pace, with lots of encouragement
You don’t need experience. You don’t need rhythm.
You just need the desire to share something beautiful together.

Your First Dance, Your Way
Led by World‑Class Experience, Rooted in Community
YCD Studio is co‑owned by Anna Trebunskaya, former professional dancer on Dancing with the Stars. With more than two decades of ballroom expertise and a warm, encouraging teaching style, Anna has helped thousands of students feel confident on the dance floor — including complete beginners preparing for their very first dance.
What makes YCD truly special isn’t just world‑class instruction; it’s our community.
We’re proud members of the Hermosa Beach Chamber of Commerce, supporters of local PTAs, and regular volunteers in South Bay schools. Couples who come to us for their wedding dance quickly discover a welcoming environment where everyone is encouraged, celebrated, and supported.
Many of our couples fall in love with dance along the way — and some even find that YCD becomes part of their story long after the wedding.
For the past 10 years, You Can Dance Studio has been my home away from home.
Our dance journey began with preparing for our wedding dance. At You Can Dance Studio, my love of dance truly deepened. What started as lessons for one big moment turned into years of training, growth, and community. YCD gave us confidence, challenged us, and made the dance floor feel like home.
Spending so many hours there also showed me something important: dancers deserve shoes that are as beautiful as they are functional. When I searched for my own wedding shoes, I couldn’t find a pair with the support, flexibility, and comfort of real dance shoes — and elegant enough for a bride. That gap is what led me to create LunaSol.
You Can Dance Studio shaped my journey as a dancer. LunaSol is what grew from it.
If you’re preparing for your first dance, I can’t recommend YCD enough. And when you’re ready for shoes that truly move with you, shop LunaSolDance.com. Share this with a bride-to-be who needs both.

Groom here: Let me start by saying if I could give a sixth star I would. I was absolutely dreading having to do my first dance. Historically, I have always been extremely self-conscious and petrified of dancing in front of people; whatever coordination or athletic ability I have, simply disappeared out the nearest exit the moment I was required to dance.
The day of the wedding, the first dance went off perfectly. It was so good in fact we had multiple guests of all ages coming up to us asking where we learned our dance.
Simply put, the dance lessons went from being my most dreaded weekly wedding activity to the activity I looked forward to the most every week!

What People Are Saying
We couldn’t have asked for a better dance instructor than Sarajane Bradford at You Can Dance Studio! From the moment we walked in, she made us feel comfortable, supported, and genuinely excited to learn. Sarajane was incredibly patient and kind, meeting us exactly where we were, despite having very different skill levels. She’s a great listener and created an experience that felt personal and fun from start to finish.
We laughed during every lesson, and by the end, we felt confident and completely prepared for our first dance. As a special bonus, she even choreographed a beautiful father-daughter dance just days before the wedding, and somehow made it simple enough to learn and unforgettable to perform.
If you’re looking for a dance teacher who brings out the best in you while keeping it light and joyful, Sarajane is it. We’re so grateful to her for helping us shine on such an important day!

If you are looking for a place to brush up on your dance skills for your wedding, you must come to You Can Dance!
We wanted to have something special choreographed for our first dance at our wedding and we were blessed to be paired with Anna, the owner of the studio. We signed up for a package of 10 classes and within that short amount of time, we went from two people who have never taken a dance class, let alone memorize an 8-count before, to basically putting on a fun performance at our wedding. We also brought our parents to our last class where Anna quickly taught us some moves for our father/daughter and mother/son dance. We had so much fun!
Anna is extremely talented, a wonderful teacher, and an absolute pleasure to work with. And because of her, we learned how to do a proper dip, which ended up being the best photo of the entire night! We can't recommend this place enough!

Wedding FAQs

Not at all! Most of our wedding couples walk in with zero dance experience. Our instructors specialize in teaching beginners and making the process fun, relaxed, and confidence‑boosting. If you can walk, we can teach you to dance.

Our consultation is a scheduled virtual meeting all about you. We’ll talk about your vision for the big day, your song choice (or help you pick one), what style fits your personalities, and what will look best in your venue/dress/suit. You’ll also meet your instructor and map out a personalized plan for your timeline and goals.
-
Totally normal! In fact, it’s more common than you think. We create a supportive, encouraging environment where you’ll learn at your pace and celebrate progress together. By the time the wedding arrives, you’ll feel confident—not awkward.
-
It depends on the dance you want and how choreographed you’d like your first dance to be.
Simple + natural: 3–5 lessons
Polished + confident: 6–10 lessons
Choreographed showstopper: 12+ lessons
We’ll recommend the best option during your consultation based on your time frame and vision.
