Classes & Dance Styles

Rather than general group classes, the focus here is on choreographing a first dance tailored to each couple's chosen song and ability. Lessons break the routine down into manageable sections, building from the very basics so even reluctant partners can follow along. The teaching prioritises looking relaxed and natural on the day over technical perfection, which reassures couples who have never danced before. Sessions are shaped around what each pair wants their moment to feel like.

What to Expect on Your First Visit

A first lesson usually begins with a conversation about your song, your ideas and how confident you feel, before easing into some gentle practice. Wear comfortable clothes and shoes you can move smoothly in, and bring your chosen music if you have it. Getting in touch early gives plenty of time to prepare before a wedding.

Welll! What can I say about Steph!

Steph is just absolutely AMAZING!

We saw Steph for the first time at a wedding fair 15 months before our wedding and from then on we knew that she was the one to teach us our first dance! I’ll be brutally honest,Neither myself or my husband could dance and we’ve both got two left feet (& funky chicken arms 😂) But Steph changed that very very quickly! Our dance lessons quickly became the highlight of our wedding planning process, our monthly lessons were incredible! We didn’t chose a traditional first dance song, let alone an easy song to dance to when you’v— Hannah Reilly

Steph is one of my husband's and my absolute favorite humans… and we've never actually met her. I found her after seeing a youtube video to a couple dancing to our wedding song, and was captured by how relaxed, confident and beautiful the couple looked. After our very first dance lesson with Steph, we completely fell in love with her. We are not dancers by any means, and were a bit nervous to learn over zoom in our tiny living room, but it quickly became the very best part of wedding planning. Steph gave us the most beautiful first dance, and the memories from our zoom lessons and finally pe— Jess Welge

Oh this woman ❤️ I love her and I guarantee you will too, Steph is the most beautiful human I've ever had the pleasure of meeting. I was so unsure about learning any sort of dance for our wedding, as I have two left feet but luckily my partner isn't a bad dancer, but Steph just takes that fear away she's so calm and relaxed she will go at your pace but push you when she sees something special. This woman loves her job and it really shows in the passion she has for seeing her couples dance on their wedding day. I would 100% recommended you go see Steph she will change your world 😍😊 We love and — Tanya Hughes

I initially contacted Steph around 6 weeks before our wedding, concerned we had left it too late to learn our first dance. She was incredibly accommodating, and quickly got us some lessons booked. From the moment we first stepped into the studio, Steph was so warm and welcoming. Her ability to choreograph our first dance from scratch, to suit our song and what we were capable of is very impressive! Having had no previous dancing experience, she had so much patience and gave us the confidence we needed. Steph really is an amazing dance instructor, with so much positivity and enthusiasm. We had — Sophie Hill

Frequently Asked Questions

Can you learn to dance without a partner?

Yes, though for a wedding first dance you would normally learn together as a couple. For general classes, many run partner rotations or solo-friendly formats, so dancing alone is entirely possible.

What should I wear to a beginner dance class?

Comfortable clothing you can move freely in and shoes with a smooth sole that let you turn easily are ideal. If you are preparing a wedding dance, it can help to practise in shoes similar to those you will wear on the day.

How much does a dance class usually cost?

Costs vary depending on whether you book private sessions or a package, so it is best to contact the company directly for current rates. Wedding choreography is usually arranged as a tailored set of lessons.

Which dance is best for beginners?

For a first dance, the choreography is often built around your song rather than a fixed style, which keeps it approachable. More generally, gentle styles with simple repeating steps make a friendly starting point.

What is the best dance to start as an adult?

That depends on your goal, whether it is a wedding routine, fitness or socialising, and a good teacher will match the style to you. Many adults begin with something built around music they love, which keeps motivation high.

Is dancing good for heart failure?

Dancing can be a gentle, enjoyable form of activity, but anyone with a heart condition should speak to their doctor before taking it up. A teacher can then adapt sessions to suit what your health allows.
