Helping nervous couples become confident dancers — one lesson at a time
About Jeanne
Jeanne Sharbuno is one of Atlanta Wedding Dance's most beloved instructors, known for her warmth, patience, and an uncanny ability to put even the most nervous couples completely at ease. With years of experience teaching wedding first dances, Jeanne has become the go-to instructor for couples who are convinced they simply "can't dance."
Jeanne's approach is gentle, encouraging, and always tailored to the couple in front of her. She never rushes, never makes anyone feel embarrassed, and has a gift for breaking down even the trickiest footwork into steps that feel natural and achievable. Her students consistently say they walked out of their first lesson feeling far more confident than they ever expected.
Whether you're working with a classic waltz, a modern pop song, or something completely unexpected, Jeanne will help you find a routine that feels authentic to you — and looks beautiful on the dance floor.
