About
At With Gracia we believe every couple deserves a first dance that feels natural, meaningful, and uniquely theirs. We guide you step by step with patience, creativity and care.
"Hi, I'm Maria Gracia Perez, the choreographer behind With Gracia. Wedding dance choreography has been a part of my life for as long as I can remember. I grew up in the studio alongside my father, a highly respected wedding choreographer in Peru, where I learned not just how to dance but how to teach, guide, and bring out the best in every couple.
Over the years, I've worked with couples of all levels, helping even the most hesistant dancers feel comfortable and confident. I've seen firsthand how a thoughtfully crafted dance can transform a moment into something joyful, emotional and truly unforgettable.
Alongside my work with couples, I am also a professional dancer and choreographer based in New York City, with experience across contemporary, ballet, street dances, jazz, Latin rhythms, Peruvian folk, and more. This versatility allows me to create choreography that reflects each couple’s, unique style—whether elegant and classic, fun and energetic, or something entirely their own.
My approach is simple: to create wedding dances that feel good in your body, look beautiful, and allow you to fully enjoy your moment on the dance floor."
