AMAZING !!
Boy they had their work cut out with us but a few months before our wedding we reached out to do some choreographed first dance and Ciara and Megan jumped into helping.
They know exactly how to introduce and warm some beginners into some wonderful moves that make it seem like we've been dancing for years !!
We knew the music and a rough dance we wanted to do and the team broke it down into steps. Went through it all and ultimately we came up with an amazing routine that on the day had everyone smiling/ laughing and saying awwhhhh
Really cannot thank you all enough for your time — Jordan Newton

Frequently used moves include the grapevine, step-touch, kick-ball-change, shuffle and pivot turn. Once these are familiar, they carry over into a wide range of dances.
Dances built from short, repeating patterns are the gentlest starting point. They let you find the rhythm before layering in turns and trickier footwork.
Yes, many styles are taught solo, and even partner dances are often broken down individually first. You can attend on your own and still make good progress.
Comfortable clothes you can move in and supportive shoes are all you need at first. As you continue, you can ask the instructor about any specialist footwear.
Prices vary depending on the class type, length and whether you book singly or in a block. It is best to check directly with the school for current rates.
Styles with a clear, steady rhythm such as a basic waltz or a simple line dance tend to suit newcomers. The right choice often comes down to the music you enjoy most.
