About this studio
Palmer Dance Studio is a dedicated home studio in Greenville run by Susan Palmer, a certified ballroom dance instructor through the DVIDA national dance program. For over a decade, Susan has choreographed wedding first dances for hundreds of couples across the upstate, specializing in working with absolute beginners. She brings a relaxed, patient approach to teaching, tailoring each lesson to what you want to achieve.
Your lessons happen in Susan's professionally decorated home studio. She offers private lessons, semi-private lessons with 2–4 friends, and small group sessions. All lessons are choreographed to your song and can be as simple or as elaborate as you want—whether that's a basic first dance or something with lifts, dips, and dramatic elements. Susan is experienced in father–daughter dances and welcomes LGBTQ+ couples.
Semi-private lessons cost $60 per couple per lesson for two couples, or $40 per couple per lesson for three couples; couples must commit to a minimum of four lessons. Susan has taught swing dance and salsa alongside wedding choreography, and she meets each person at their individual starting point to build a solid foundation before moving to more complex moves.
Reviews highlight her outgoing, funny personality and genuine patience. Couples repeatedly report feeling nervous walking in with no dance experience and leaving after just a few lessons confident enough to execute their wedding dance—complete with dips, lifts, and spins—and genuinely enjoying the process.
