Your First Dance Experience starts here....
Our First Dance Lessons are designed to help couples feel confident, relaxed and ready for the big moment.......
Taking First Dance lessons was one of the best decisions we made for the wedding. We went from having no clue what to do to actually feeling excited about our First Dance. The choreography was easy to remember, suited us perfectly, and made the moment feel really special.
We honestly couldn’t recommend taking lessons enough. We were both really nervous as neither of us had danced before, but from the very first session we felt totally at ease. The whole process was fun, relaxed, and never stressful. Our First Dance felt completely like us and we got so many lovely comments on the day.
We just wanted something that looked good without feeling complicated, and the lessons delivered exactly that. They were really enjoyable and tailored perfectly to us and our song. Having someone guide us made such a difference, and it looked amazing both on the day and in the photos
