Frequently Asked Questions
Booking
Which dance package is best for us?
We offer 3 different dance packages, so you can choose the one best suited for you. Factors such as dance experience, wedding budget, the vision you have for your first dance, time until the big day etc all play a part to the decision of which dance package you’d like to book.
​
Our gold dance package includes 5 dance lessons and is the best choice to give yourself time to learn the steps and make you feel at ease for your perfect first dance. It gives us the opportunity to wow your guests and really make your first wedding dance a memory to cherish.
​
The silver package includes 3 dance lessons and will be a great choice if you have less time before the wedding but still wish to feel confident and comfortable on the dance floor.
​
The bronze package is a single dance lesson, where we make sure you get some great and trusted moves for your chosen first wedding dance song. This is also a great package to choose, if you are getting near to your wedding date and don’t have the luxury of time for more than one dance lesson.
​
We have no dance experience!
That’s no problem at all – and this is actually the case for the vast majority of our couples. Let us take the worries out of your first wedding dance, and make it not only a fun and enjoyable experience, but a memory to cherish. We will make your choreography suitable for you no matter your dance experience and start level.

When is the best time to start preparing our first dance?
The more time available before your wedding, the more stress-free your dance experience tends to be. As a guideline, around the 6 month mark before your wedding day is an ideal time to start preparing your first wedding dance, however, you are very welcome to contact us either earlier or later than this.
​
Our wedding is very soon!
If you want a dance but think you have left it do late - do not worry! Contact us, we have plenty of experience in getting you prepared as soon as possible for the big day. Please get in touch with us via the “contact us” page, and we will check our availability leading up to your wedding date. Often, the bronze dance package is a good option for you, if you are simply looking for a one-off lesson to prepare something for your first wedding dance. Alternatively, if we have enough time, you can always choose one of the other packages.
We need additional lessons
You are always welcome to upgrade your dance package if you wish to book further lessons. Alternatively, it is also possible to add on more lessons even outside of your dance package. Simply send us an email and we can find the best option for you.
Do you offer Father & Daughter dance lessons and/or group dances with the bridesmaids, groomsmen etc?
Yes, if you have an idea for a dance at your wedding, we can help you make it come to life.

We wish to book more lessons; how do we pay for them?
If you choose to book additional lessons – either one lesson or an entire additional package – we will arrange this with you and send you an invoice accordingly.
Song choice
We don’t know which song to choose for our first wedding dance
It is completely normal to feel this way! We will be able to help you firstly by narrowing down the options, and then helping you decide on the right song for you. Many couples don’t have “a song” – ourselves included – which makes it tricky to pick a song for the first dance. We will help you identify what your dance preferences are, and gently guide you through the process of choosing your song for the first wedding dance.
We would like to use a specific song, but it’s a long track and we are nervous
It is often the case that songs are longer than you wish to dance for your first dance. Especially as you take into consideration the first dance will traditionally be at the end of the day after the ceremony, speeches and meal. If you have song you would like to use but it’s too long, we have a professional music editor as part of the team. We can tailor the length of music so that you are both comfortable.
