4. Why should I spend out on a choreographed First Dance, especially when weddings cost so much?

Your wedding is one of the most important days of your life. So much time and money are spent planning and creating your dream day. Sometimes the first dance gets overlooked and can seem daunting however we can assist if you want to remove the awkwardness of rocking too and fro and create a simple structured first dance, or if you want something more creative and complicated, we can also assist in providing fantastic tutors, guidance and support. 

Your First Dance no longer needs to be a stressful part of your day, we promote confidence and ensure that you have a memorable, enjoyable experience.

​

5. When should we start our lessons? And how many lessons should we do?

You should try to start your lessons as early as possible, preferably 2- 3months prior to your wedding. However, saying that, sometimes this is not possible. whatever your time frame, we can work around it.

Regarding how many lessons to take, again we recommend a minimum of 2hrs. The most popular packages are between 3-6 hrs. We will always recommend you the best options pending on your requirements and availability. 

​

6. What song shall we pick? 

The first dance is a chance for newly wedded couples to actually spend some time together. The day passes so quickly and you find that you actually haven't seen much of each other! Your first dance is a fantastic opportunity to re-connect and have those special moments together again. This means your song should be personal and mean something to the two of you! If you struggle with options, we have fantastic blogs and helpful playlist options, so please check them out in our 'News' section.

​

7. Our wedding is in a couple of weeks, is it too late?

No, it's not too late. We have worked with couples during the week of their wedding and it was beautiful. We can assist whether it's a short or large time frame. Again, we assess the situation and would only choreograph according to the couple's requirements without adding any extra pressure or stress!

​

8. Do we need any prior dance experience?

No, you don't need any dance experience. We find there is always a reluctance when couples begin their sessions, but very quickly they love it and are very keen
