Shane is the man!We came in with a very different wedding song and Shane created an amazing interpretation that exceeded our expectations. Would highly recommend this studio to anyone looking to learn or progress their dancing experience further.

Devan and I were looking for a dance studio close to Covington, LA. We came across Shall We Dance Studio. From the beginning, Shane was so helpful in getting us started with classes. We picked a unique song for our wedding dance, and he helped come up with the perfect dance that represented us. Shane is fun, helpful, and an awesome teacher! Dance classes have made it a fun night date night, too. If you are getting married- take classes! If you live in Mandeville, Covington, anywhere in Louisiana- take dance classes here! You will not regret it.

Shane was so great to learn from and work with. He was patient professional and was able to put together a beautifully choreographed dance for our wedding( in a short amount of time). Shane was so fun to work with and we looked forward to dance lesson everyday! We learned a lot, we laughed, and the end product was great.

I have always liked to dance but never took ballroom dance lessons. I am so happy that I chose Shall We Dance Studios. Shane is an excellent teacher and all his experience he has in this field is quite amazing. I love going to my classes and I feel so excited about the dances I learned every time I go. I would highly recommend Shane to anyone out there who wishes to take lessons. And just a little note to let you know that there are social nights to mingle, dance and meet new people too.

I have gone from a total lack of dance confidence and 2 left feet to feeling graceful and looking forward to dancing at social events. Shane is a wonderful teacher!

Shane and the staff at Shall me Dance are nothing short of amazing! Taking lessons with my wife has been one of the best decisions we’ve made. Every lesson is a fun and exciting date with the bonus of learning to dance together. We started with just a simple goal of learning some steps and have now embarked on a journey to learn even more. If you’ve ever even considered looking into lessons, look no further your there! If I had it to do all over again I’d only have one regret....that we hadn’t started dancing sooner!! Great staff, music, fun, exercise, quality time with your favorite someone; what more could you want!

Shall we dance was a wonderful experience for my fiancé and I in preparing for our first dance for our wedding. Shane is an excellent and motivated dance instructor that takes you through the steps of dancing from the basic steps to an entire choreographed dance or whatever you want to get from it. He is easy to learn from and despite how many times you miss a step he’s always there to motivate and teach you. We will be back for future lessons just for a fun night out in the future!

Shane makes every lesson fun! No matter how long or stressful the day has been, within a minute we are laughing and dancing a new move. He’s such a great instructor that the time flies by and next thing you know-you can dance like never before.

I had an amazing experience at this studio. The instructor at Shall We Dance made my husband (that HATES dancing) and me feel comfortable while trying something new and scary. We had a blast! I can confidently say that we are both looking forward to going back.

Shane is amazing. He takes his time and he’s thorough. I went in there with two left feet and I’m coming out with a left and a right. If you want to learn how to dance this is your place. He’s flexible, fun and an amazing teacher. When you’re in class with him you feel encouraged and challenged. I would recommend shall we dance studios to everyone.

I went to a private party there recently. Shane and Pam gave us dance lessons and we had the best time! Thanks for such a memorable experience. We will definitely be back!

Review №18

Love this place! The pros really know how to make this “newbie” feel like a real contender! And to top it off, it’s FUN! Pam knows just how to put you at ease, break down and explain certain steps so they come “naturally”! Shane, the big boss, is cool as a cucumber! He shows you how to be so smooth, and believe you can do it!

My fiancé bought me a few lessons as a present in advance of our wedding. We quickly signed on to do more lessons in rapid succession and have been working with Shane every other day for the last few weeks. Shane is very professional and even has my fiancé dancing to the rhythm! He is also flexible and works with us to find times that are convenient (we live on the South Shore). We have so much fun at the lessons and Shane makes it really easy enjoy the time while still learning. I am very happy we found this place and cant wait until were gliding across the floor like naturals!

This is the most fun we have had learning to dance. We have learned several dances, but more importantly we have gained the confidence to hit the dance floor and own it! Shane and Pam started as our dance instructors but have become friends. The encouragement, patience and humor are just a few of the behaviors that provide a comfortable and enjoyable learning environment.

Exceptional instruction. Shane at Shall We Dance studio has choreographed our first dance in little time at all. He worked with our song and idea to create something very unique, more over it looks like we can dance!

Review №24

My wife and I took lessons for our wedding. We didnt know what type of dance we wanted to do so after meeting with Shane, we picked a song and he created a dance for us. Shane was awesome! He was patient when we would get frustrated and coached us through the struggles of my two left feet. We liked Shane so much we asked him to be our officiant.

We’ve been studying dance with Shall We Dance for almost three years and absolutely were not “that couple” on the dance floor. But now we love dance and enjoy this studio so much. Dance is so great for our brains, bodies and spirits. You have to try this out!

Pam and crew are very accommodating and professional. I would recommend Shall We Dance to anyone who has had the dream of ballroom dance. Her credentials are second to none in the area and you won’t be disappointed.

We have been working with Shane Lecoq for a year. He always takes care of his students and puts them first. There is no better place for ballroom in Louisiana. If you want to have fun, learn the right way, and have someone in your corner, this is the place!

This is for sure the #1 place for dance lessons on the Northshore! Everyone was super friendly and knowledgeable, and lessons with Shane are always super fun and informative. I cannot recommend this place enough!!!

Review №29

Shane and Pam are amazing! The studio has a great vibe—really spacious, fun, and calming. They emphasize social dancing for couples but both instructors have also danced competitively for years. After the dancing with the stars craze I decided to try dancing competitively and came to the studio a few months ago. Shane‘s reputation precedes him as a thorough and patient instructor, which has been my experience! Also, not a lesson goes by where we don’t laugh and have fun through the whole learning process!!

We have been going to Shall we Dance studio since January and really love it! Shane is a great teacher. Very funny but professional. His assistant Pam is fantastic! We have learned so much and enjoy our time at the studio. The monthly dances they host give you the opportunity to meet others and to practice your dance moves in a safe and fun environment. Would recommend to anyone!

Review №34

Shane breaks it down and demystifies the basics to create an easy-to-grasp foundation. He then uses that to build each style of dance into a muscle memory quickly. His staff, especially Pam, are patient and comfortably persistent in helping you see the steps and moves. Great for helping you get ready for an event. But you will want to progress because they make it so simple to understand and have fun doing.

Ive known Shane longer than Ive known he taught dance. I cant imagine a more patient instructor. He directs the action with subtlety and kindness, rather than the barked commands Ive experienced with others.The new studio must be seen. The lighting, the decor, the acoustics, and most importantly the room to move are great pluses.If youve ever wanted to learn to dance, modern or formal, classic to risque, this is a great place to do it. Private lessons assure you are ready and confident before anyone else sees you.

I started my dance lessons with Shane just a week ago. My goals: build confidence, bring out my feminine side, and to lose weight. I can honestly say....it’s working. Thank you! Lessons are fun and Shane is Awesome 😎

I used Shane for my Wedding Dance. Both my husband and I are dancers. We blew our guests away with our first dance. Shane is an excellent instructor as well as a vibrant person. I always enjoy salsa dancing with him as well!

Review №38

Fantastic place for a beginner all the way up to a seasoned dancer to learn from the best. Shane tailors his lessons to the individual and works to increase their confidence from a calming, personal, caring place---from the heart. He loves what he does,and its clear that dance is an avocation for him.You will be impressed from the start upon meeting the man. He epitomizes the essence of what a teacher and guru is supposed to be--in dance as well as in life. His sessions incorporate all disciplines and he manages to go beyond the dance floor and leave the student with the sense that he/she gained insight into themselves as well.

One of the greatest gifts my husband of 34 years has given me is private couples dance lessons at Shall We Dance Studio in Mandeville! We have always dreamed of doing this together but long hours for work and fear of not being able to learn kept me from signing us up! When I received the lessons as a gift, I had to agree to it! It has changed our lives! Not only has it created a joyful escape for the two of us but I feel more confident about me for the first time in my life! We have decided that we will continue this the rest of our lives! Our dance instructor, Shane and his assistant Pam are wonderful! Each week we advance as we learn new steps, Shane making it easy to learn. We will always be grateful for the wonderful instruction and atmosphere provided at Shall We Dance Studio and we will look forward to many more field trips to the Ritz with Shane, to strut our new moves! THANK YOU SHANE

Coming from basically no dance background, Shane was the most patient and professional instructor ever! I’ve learned and grown so much in my ballroom dance abilities in what feels like a short amount of time! I cannot day enough about this studio! Great instructors great location and great times!!!!!!

Review №43

I honestly don’t know how to begin to recommend this studio. For the record, I am a trained dancer and I have known Shane for over 20 years. I coerced my then fiancé to surprise our wedding guests (& ultimately ourselves) with a choreographed dance. There was no one else I knew or could trust to take on such a task: not only because of his graceful, seamless style of award-winning partner dancing (hello); but also because I knew that he would be able to ‘talk dance’ in 2 different languages: dancer & NON-dancer, male & female. Not only were we the best dancers at our wedding of course; but, the time we spent together training, bonded us closer as a couple. We had a lot of laughs & learned a lot of moves. Our special day is forever intertwined with our “shall we dance?” studio time. (That’s what we would say every time we pulled into the parking lot and got out of the car. True story.) It’s been 5 fun-filled years of wedding bliss now and may I also say, I am never alone on ANY dance floor. I’ve got my partner. Happy Dancing!

My husband and I have been taking private dance lessons here for 8 months with Shane and Pam. Weve had an absolute blast! In a short time we have learned the Swing, Cha-Cha, Fox Trot, Waltz, Rumba and Salsa well enough to dance in public and look good doing it! They also host fun events for their students like the Supper Clubs, a Dance Social once a month and going as a group to the Ritz Carlton in New Orleans (specifically the Davenport Lounge). I cant say enough good things about this experience! Weve had so much fun and its been a wonderful way for my spouse and I to connect with each other. If youre looking for something to do with a partner or solo, I would highly recommend it!

Shane is an amazing dance teacher. After taking ten years of dance I feel I can share with each one of you the true admiration I have for him. He is kind, patient and patience was definitely needed with me. I loved dancing so much I stepped it up and entered the competition world. Oh what an amazing place to visit and to have Shane dancing with you there’s no worries or fear when your on the dance floor. Did I mess up of course ? But I had a very talented teacher that always put me back on my right foot or was it the left foot. Hmm lol FIVE STARS FOR SHALL WE DANCE STUDIO ! You won’t be disappointed!!
