  • Mark is such a nice guy. Breaks everything down so easy to understand what move is what.

  • We are still working with Mark and things are going great! He is choreographing our first dance for our wedding later this year. We are about half way done with the dance right now couldn't be happier with his training. I would recommend him to anyone!

  • Mark was so amazing! We had a few lessons with him to prepare for our wedding and he managed to teach us both a modified waltz and a more casual dance for our first song. He's patient, nice and easy to work with. He clearly has a lot of experience teaching and his methods worked wonders on my husband and I, who have little dancing experience. Highly recommend him.

  • We loved Mark! He came to my house and taught group lessons for a group of friends. He was very patient with our first time dancers and also taught advanced enough for our more experienced dancers. We had a great time and learned a lot.

  • Mark was an exceptional instructor for my partner and I. He has such a passion for dance and it shows in his instruction. He was even able to provide weekly recaps of our lessons which helped a lot and was very much appreciated. We were never afraid to ask questions and felt like we were in good hands. Additionally, Mark knows so many dances that you definitely will not be lacking in dance options, and will even be able to learn 2 or 3 different styles at once. Similarly, he is able to give background on dances and explain how certain dances relate to each other. We were blessed to find Mark, and happily recommend his instruction!

      Had a great time!
      Today, my little YAM♡ and I had our first dance lesson with Mark. He is a very good instructor and had passion for the art. We are looking forward to the next 10 lessons.

      Mark is amazing! He is creative, patient and was able to pull the right energy out of the two of us to dance in a coordinated fashion. Would highly recommend him to both novice and experienced dancers

      Mark is a great instructor!
      Mark has seriously been great! We really enjoyed the class and it brought my husband and I as a couple closer together. We will continue classes with Mark!!

      I first met Mark when he asked me to dance at an event I was attending. I could immediately tell that he was an instructor by the way that he led me and made me move in ways I didn't think I could. I ended up taking private lessons with him and learned so much. I improved in bachata and salsa and was introduced to kizomba, tango, bachatango, and zouk. He is so patient and passionate about dancing. I always looked forward to his class and had lots of fun -- and we always tried something new. I appreciated when he would make sure to play my favorite song and tailor the lesson to my interests. I recently moved out of the state but am looking forward to dancing with him in the future. If you're a beginner or are looking to build upon what you already know, Mark is your guy.

      My lessons with Mark have been SO much fun! I've learned so much in a short amount of time and it makes me want to continue to learn and grow! Highly recommend his teaching style.

      I love learning from Mark! I have learned so much in the past few months. He is so kind to me every time I come and is so patient with me when I cannot get a technique quite right or if I do not understand something. He is always so welcoming and is always cheering me on. He is a wonderful teacher!

    Mark is great! He makes you feel comfortable and makes dancing fun! He corrects you in a good way, doesn't make you fee bad at all. Nothing but good things to say. I look forward to the rest of our lessons!

    Mark is an outstanding instructor. He is very respectful and patient with all his students. He has the ability to make the learning experience casual and comfortable especially for new students without sacrificing technique and structure. My wife and I attended his Salsa course for a short 9 months. In that time; we learned a great deal and learned it well. We were unable continue his course due to personal reasons but look forward to returning as soon as we're able to do so.

    Mark showed up for my mom's surprise 75th birthday party. He communicated with me far in advance and then again in the days leading up to the party. He helped us roll up the carpet and led a few dance lessons in our dining room, which some of the ladies could participate in. The ones that didn't participate on their feet enjoyed the "show" and I think it brought back good memories for them of when they were in better health. The dancing was the right pace for this group of ladies and Mark was very patient and polite. It was a unique and unusual experience that my mom is still talking about! I would definitely request Mark again.

    Mark's Salsa lessons were so much fun, and great workouts. He is very knowledgeable, and very passionate about dancing. My dancing improved tremendously. I cannot wait until I come back!

    Mark is a lot of fun!! I wanted to improve my salsa skills and find a fun way to get some exercise. Mark did just that - he got me dancing right away. His teaching style is intuitive rather than counting steps and memorizing (which is great and makes everything look and feel more natural).

    Professional, knowledgeable, and knows how to get the body moving with a passionate feel. I do recommend you seek out Mark's training. Great opportunity.

    Words can not describe how grateful I am to work with Mark and Krista at Z Room dance & fitness. I never could of imagine better people for my situation or for any.

    It was literally the week of my wedding and I started getting nervous about the first dance. My fiancé at the time.. now wife was a trained dancer growing up so I was like... UHHHHHHH.

    I called 3 or 4 difference dance studio looking and even offering to pay a premium for lessons. They all said No Way! or Laughed which I knew was coming.

    For some Reason I went on Thumbtack filled it out and Mark Reached out to me.

    From the moment we talked her assured me that he would Help Us Out and not to worry about a thing...

    That he could schedule around our crazy week of wedding schedule. That they even could travel out to our house if needed.

    Man from the moment we arrived Krista and Mark were two of the warmest people I have meet in a long time. They took their time teaching us a great routine and then quickly realized that to stay in my comfort zone we would need to tone it down :).

    Even after the lesson they recorded the dance perfectly for us so we could watch and practice this.

    Come Wedding night it was amazing to be able to lead my bride and spin her around the dance floor in front of all my friends and family.

    I work in the service industry and their service they provided me was World Class... For my situation I can not thank Mark and Krista Enough!!

    Both of them you will tell in the first minute that they were Born to Be Teaching Dance... Not just a job to them but a Passion. As they are listening to your song and thinking about options they are moving around as they think.

    Instead of doing the one class like I was force to I would recommend the dance course of 5 or 6 classes.. I wish I would of done that months out. But if your like me and not sure call anyways.

    These are Good Good People and couldn't thank them enough for making my wedding day so special.

    Many Blessing on your Studio!!

    For some time now, I have been taking private dance lessons, with Mark, the creator of Harmony in Motion. Focusing on the latin styles, Mark has taken me from being an absolute beginner to being a truly confident dancer. His kindness and patience surpasses that of any instructor I know. Mark's expertise in dance and his awareness of energy flow, has enabled me to fulfill a life long dream.

    I had a great experience with this dance school. Very supportive and caring instructors (especially Mark) who are very professional. I would highly recommend this school and Mark for anyone who would like to start dancing or polish dancing skills. Mark is also helpful to prepare you for the wedding dance. And it is so much fun to go to these dance classes. Love it!
