    When I first started taking dance classes in NYC, I had no idea what to expect. However, after my first class with Mary Moretti, I knew I could expect confidence, growth, strength, technique, and fun. This prompted me to begin taking private lessons with Mary. These lessons have taught me to become a better dancer than I could imagine. In addition to learning to improve my dance techniques and fundamentals, private lessons with Mary have served as a safe place for mindset coaching to become the best dancer I can be. In only one short year of dancing with Mary, I have become a dancer who gets asked “Have you been dancing your whole life?” I have also gone on to get casted in a dance audition and I owe this all to Mary’s guidance. Go to Mary for lessons if you’re looking to become a great dancer and take your routines to the next level. Come expecting to grow and seriously learn while having fun!

    Taking private dance classes with Mary was an exceptional experience.

To this day I am forever grateful to have the opportunity to learn and grow with her and become the dancer she sees in me and that I see in myself.

    Taking dance classes with Mary has been a transformative experience. Her detailed and concise instructions allow me to grow in both skills and confidence, while her comforting presence makes every class enjoyable. Mary's passion for dance is truly inspiring, and I consider unimportant mentor. I always look forward to her classes each week, feeling a strong a strong sense of loyalty to her. It's also a joy that other dancers see us as a duo when we dance together in class, which adds a special connection to the experience. Don't miss the chance to take her classes!!

    Mary breaks down moves and I always leave her classes learning something new. She keeps class fun while pushing you to explore and grow as a dancer! Taking class with Mary is amazing!

  • Cami

    I’ve had the pleasure of working with Mary both as her manager and as her student. Mary is one of the most exceptional dancers, choreographers, and instructors I’ve ever met. She’s humble and genuinely invested in her students' success, building authentic connections and inspiring them to step outside their comfort zones. Her ability to read the room and adapt to what resonates most with her class is something special, and her energy is undeniably contagious. Mary’s rare combination of raw talent and a genuine heart makes her truly stand out. Her dedication and passion for the art form shine through in everything she does.


  • Sam

    I’ve been taking dance classes with Mary for over two years!  Her classes have helped grow my confidence in and out of studio, and her amazing choreography helps strengthen not only my mobility but also different parts of my brain that I don’t use in my regular day. Not to mention, I feel like I am staring in a Missy Elliott music video at the end of class and always leave wanting more. Mary teaches to all levels and has created a special community here in NYC, I am so grateful to have found her
