WEDDING DANCE JUST FOR YOU



Music Our Couples Have Used

YOUR WEDDING FIRST  DANCE in your own private mirrored studio (no sharing of music or space with other couples)

New Zealand's most experienced wedding dance teachers will not only make you look really good on this every special day, but you'll have a load of fun learning your own personalised choreographed dance - simple or advanced - the choice is yours.

Your choice of music can be, in order of popularity, foxtrot, rhumba, argentine tango, cha cha, viennese waltz or traditional slow waltz, rock and roll, salsa, or a simplified dirty dance routine (from the movie Dirty Dancing)

You can choose simple but effective moves or you can learn more complex variations including spins, lifts or wheels.

 

Learn by either Private Lessons or Classes, or a combination of both.

PRIVATE LESSONS - For either you or your wedding group.  
Dance that first dance together to your own choice of music with a dance choreographed just for you. 

Personalised tuition in a completely private studio is $75 per hour for 2 people.  If your wedding party joins in, add $8 for each extra person. 

The number of lessons you'll need depends on the complexity of your routine and how much you practice between lessons.  For the man to confidently lead your first dance, plan on a minimum of 4 - 6 lessons for a simple routine.

Private lessons are available on Sundays, with some during the day on other days.  Sundays are good days for wedding lessons as people have the time and are relaxed.

If you e-mail to arrange your lessons, please include a phone number.

When you come for your lessons:

Bring your music with you, preferably on a CD or I pod

Bring shoes similar to your wedding shoes - ladies, not your wedding shoes as they could get marked!

Let us know the size of the floor you will be dancing on

We suggest a video camera to record your routine (many couples have used a phone video successfully) for practice at home (lots of fun)

OPTIONAL CLASS COURSES
Excellent group classes for Social Style Dance for the traditional dances, Salsa for action or Argentine Tango for an elegant sensuality.  Top quality class tuition plus one private lesson to add all the extras you need for your wedding day.

THE DANCE
Many couples dance a foxtrot for their first dance, but it can be the traditional wedding waltz, or any other dance you want.   Couples have selected music for foxtrot (very popular and the most used when you go dancing), rhumba, cha cha, Argentine tango, samba, rock and roll, mambo (a simplified routine from Dirty Dancing), waltz, salsa and Viennese waltz.  

Use your own music selection for a simple or choreographed advanced routine.  First dances have been from one to four minutes duration with dance floor sizes from 2 square metres to hotel ballrooms, with the average wedding dance floor of 5 x 5 metres.

Whatever you choose, we make it easy and we'll show you not only how to look good but give you all those extra tips that only come from years of experience teaching the first dance to wedding couples.

Customer Comments:

Thank you so much for teaching us our wedding dance.  We did feel as special as you said and we've inspired a few of our friends to take lessons.  Our dance fit our music (and our capabilities) perfectly.  Thank you for making our special day that extra bit special. - Stephen and Jo
