Dance Like You’ve Always Wanted
A first dance that feels like you
Whether you’ve never danced or you want to light the floor on fire, I’ll choreograph a first dance that embodies who you are together.
The floor is yours. Let’s build a dance that fits your song, personalities, dress, and venue, step by step and at your pace. Lessons are relaxed and fun, and many couples tell me our time together was their favorite part of wedding planning.
Want to keep it simple and elegant, or blow everyone away? We can just get by with a couple of spins, or go full out with lifts and dips. If you have dance experience, we’ll show it off. Start with Real Couples videos to find inspiration for your jumping-off point. If you’ve found a move or two online that you love, bring them! I’ll blend them in so they flow and look natural to your song. There’s no need to grab a bunch of moves off social media. We can do better than piecing together what’s already out there. We’ll make it you, connect, have fun, develop your style, and make something new that still looks timeless. You’ll walk onto the dance floor knowing exactly what you’re doing, looking like yourselves yet more confident than ever.
The Next Step
You may have met on Bumble, but you don’t want to bumble around the dance floor at your wedding. Give us an idea of what you want to do or the song you’ve chosen for your dance. We can teach you any style of dance including swing, two-step, Latin, foxtrot, foxy, Bollywood, waltz, tango, contemporary, salsa, rumba, and slow dance… you name it!
How It Works
- Check Out Real Couples. Watch their first dances on my Videos page to see what’s possible for you.
- Talk with me. Call for a free phone consultation, or book a guaranteed call time.
- We create your dance together. In private lessons, I choreograph to your song in real time and teach it at your pace. Any style works—from a simple, elegant slow dance to a medley with lifts.
- Practice at home. Video your whole lesson, or record recaps of each section as we go, so you can practice between lessons.
- Polish the details. Music editing is included. We’ll plan for your shoes, your dress, your venue’s floor, and your photographer and videographer.
- Your first dance. You grace the floor, have your moment, and your guests love it.
