The-First-Dance

You’ve booked the venue, hired the band, and chosen your favourite music … but have you thought about that 'first dance' yet?

Everyone can 'shuffle round in circles' - but how surprised and impressed would your wedding guests be if you took to the dance floor, and with all eyes upon you, knocked them for six with an elegant Foxtrot, or a sensual Rumba ... maybe even a vivacious Samba, a sultry Tango or a cheeky Cha-Cha-Cha?

With fun, affordable private dance tuition and choreography tailored to your ability and requirements by a patient, experienced wedding dance specialist you could really put the seal on your day and stun your friends and family!

The last thing you need to worry about on your wedding day is a 'big performance' dance so the choreography is aimed at the complete beginner and can be simple and effective with a few basic moves to get you around the dance floor, or as adventurous as you dare with dips, leans and turns for extra impact.

The tempo of the music you choose will determine the appropriate style of dance, either Ballroom or Latin which will give you repeatable steps so you have less to remember and will serve you well as a social skill that can be enjoyed on many more occasions in the future. Or you may prefer to use versatile Modern Jive moves that are an eclectic fusion of many different dance forms, suit almost any tempo of music, and are often mixed with my Ballroom and Latin choreography to give dips and leans. All moves are safe and take account of the fact you'll be in a wedding dress and wedding day attire.

Lessons are held in a full size dance studio (in Cheam, Surrey) for unrestricted dance practice and you will find my prices to be very competitive, and include both VAT and studio hire. You can choose to do as few or as many lessons as you wish but as a guide most couples require approximately 5 lessons for a routine or 1-3 for a few basics. Lessons are usually commenced 6-8 weeks before your wedding day to allow for busy diaries (although last minute lessons can often be accommodated early booking is recommended).

Dance lessons can make great pre-wedding and birthday gifts, and Gift Vouchers are also available.

Other members of your wedding party might welcome the chance to improve their own dance skills, and group lessons for up to four couples can also be arranged. Pink/gay couples very welcome - see FAQs.

I look forward to your call!
