About Chad Lakridis

We’re Chad & Brisa , and we help couples take their weddings from special to spectacular -- through the magic of dance!

We combine 40+ years of experience in dance, health and life with impressive resumés and ongoing passion for healing & dancing.

We teach as a couple and this unique style of teaching helps each person learn both the Initiator’s role (dancing Male steps/leader) and the Responder’s role (dancing the Female steps/follower).

We are the first professionals in Arizona to be certified to teach dance through the Body School System (founded by Benny Tolmeyer). This system was brought to the US and taught to us by Maja Servé. It is based on principles from Science, Anatomy, Kinesiology, Philosophy, Energy Work, Psychology, Relationship(s), walking and healthy movement; all designed to make dancing simple for you.

The Bridal Fashion Debut/Arizona Bridal Show

Although we are trained in all styles of ballroom dancing (including American Smooth and Rhythm, International Standard and Latin, Night Club Dancing, Country Western, and more), our teaching transcends these ‘styles’ to enable you to dance to any song at any tempo, in a way that is natural to YOU.

We specialize in teaching wedding parties -- including Bride/Groom, Bride/Bride, Groom/Groom, Father/Daughter, Mother/Son and others in the wedding party.

In 1999 we pioneered First Dance demonstrations and wedding reception dancing at the Bridal Fashion Debut (now the Arizona Bridal Show).

We’ve had a huge impact in the Wedding arena and are known for our First Dance expertise throughout the Phoenix area!

Brisa has a remarkable way of helping couples avoid conflict all together. Her gentle yet knowing approach has made her one of the best teachers even according to her own teachers.

She’s helped brides especially heal from stress related colds/illnesses even days before the wedding.

Chad is an outstanding source of information for healing modalities. Both on and off the dance floor, he has guided numerous couples toward healing themselves from trauma while also improving their relationship dynamics.

As a result of his success, he has become a prominent figure in the Wedding Dance Industry and a Master Instructor helping anyone who wishes to learn to dance & improve themselves.

In addition, our team has training and certifications in a variety of movement and healing modalities: Nursing, EFT, TM, Master NLP, Pilates/Gyrotonics, Aikido, massage, Gerson protocol, Reiki, Financial Advising, Foster care parenting and more!
