What if we can’t dance?

Honestly, that’s most couples.

You don’t need dance experience, rhythm or natural confidence to do this. Most people start off feeling awkward or worried they’ll just end up swaying in circles.

We take everything step by step and keep things really simple, so you can stop overthinking and start feeling more comfortable together.

This isn’t about becoming dancers. It’s about feeling relaxed and confident enough to enjoy the moment.

Do we have to learn a full routine?

No, and honestly most couples don’t want one.

My approach is much more about giving you a few simple, natural movements you can come back to throughout the dance, so it feels relaxed rather than stressful.

If you’d like to add a few special moments we absolutely can, but there’s never any pressure to perform or memorise a big routine.

What if one of us is more confident than the other?

That’s incredibly common.

Usually one person feels more nervous than the other and that’s completely okay. I’ll guide things in a way that makes both of you feel comfortable and included, without anyone feeling pushed or put on the spot.

The goal isn’t to impress people. It’s to help you enjoy the moment together.

What if we hate being the centre of attention?

You definitely don’t have to suddenly become performers.

Most couples I work with actually want the opposite. They just want to get through the first dance without feeling awkward or overexposed.

We can keep things simple, natural and low-pressure so the focus stays on the two of you rather than trying to put on a show.

What are the lessons actually like?

Most couples come in saying some version of “we have absolutely no idea what we’re doing”, so don’t worry if that’s you.

The sessions are relaxed, private and completely tailored to you. My approach is all about keeping things simple and natural, rather than teaching a big complicated routine.

You’ll learn a few easy movements that feel good, work with your song and help you feel more confident together without it feeling forced or overly choreographed.

The goal is simply to help you enjoy the moment and feel like yourselves on the dance floor.

Planning your first dance lessons

How many first dance lessons will we need?

My most popular package is three sessions, as it gives most couples enough time to learn a few simple movements, practise them a little, and start feeling genuinely comfortable and confident together.

If you’re short on time, one session can still make a huge difference and give you a calm, simple plan for the day. I’d usually recommend doing this in person if possible, as we can cover a lot in a single session together.

Some couples choose five sessions if they’d like more time to practise, want something a little more detailed, or simply want to feel extra relaxed and prepared before the wedding.

For online first dance lessons, I’d usually recommend at least two sessions so things never feel rushed.

And if you’re unsure what’s best, don’t worry. We can chat it through together and decide what feels right for you both. I also like to leave a little space before the wedding, so there’s always the option to add another session later if you’d like one.

You can read more about packages and pricing here.

When should we start first dance lessons?

For most couples, starting around three months before the wedding works really well.

I usually like to work backwards from your wedding date so we can leave plenty of time for things to feel relaxed rather than rushed. It also means there’s a little contingency time before the wedding in case you’d like an extra session later on.

Most couples space their lessons around two weeks apart, or sometimes three weeks apart if you’ve got a bit more time to practise in between.

If you’re hoping for something more detailed or choreographed, it’s usually best to start a little earlier. But if your wedding is closer than that, don’t panic. We can always work with the time you have.

Is it too late to start first dance lessons?

Not at all.

I’ve helped couples just a few weeks before their wedding and even one session can make a huge difference to your confidence.

We’ll always work with the time you have and keep things simple, manageable and realistic.

Can we do first dance lessons online?

Absolutely.

In person sessions are lovely if you’re nearby, but online first dance lessons can work brilliantly too, especially for busy couples juggling wedding planning, work and life.

Some couples even do a mix of both. We’ll figure out what works best for you.

Booking your first dance lessons

How do we book?

It all starts with a free relaxed discovery call.

We’ll chat about your wedding, your song ideas if you have them, how you’re feeling about the first dance and what kind of support would help most.

If you decide to go ahead, I’ll then send over a short questionnaire so I can get to know you both a little better and tailor the sessions to you from the very start.

There’s never any pressure to book. It’s simply a chance to see if DansTogether feels like the right fit for you both.

Do we need to choose our song before booking?

Not at all.

If you already have your song, amazing. If not, that’s completely fine too. We can start with general guidance and figure the song out later.

A lot of couples actually find it easier to choose once they’ve learnt a couple of simple moves and can feel what works naturally for them together.

Where are in person lessons based?

In person first dance lessons are based at the Love The Beat studio in Datchet, SL3, with free parking available and the station just a five minute walk away.

I work with couples across Windsor, Berkshire, Surrey, Hampshire and surrounding areas for wedding first dance lessons.

If it feels easier, I can sometimes travel to your home too depending on location and availability.

I’ll always send over full details before your session so everything feels straightforward and easy to plan.

Do you offer evening or weekend sessions?

Yes, absolutely.

Most of my couples work full time or are juggling busy wedding schedules, so evening and weekend sessions are very normal here.

We’ll always try to find times that work comfortably around your lives.

Before your first lesson

What should we wear to sessions?

Anything comfortable is absolutely fine to start with.

Later on, it’s helpful to wear shoes similar to your wedding shoes so nothing feels unfamiliar on the day. We can also chat through things like dress shape, long veils or suits if needed.

How much space do we need for online lessons?

You don’t need a huge amount of space, just enough room to take a couple of steps together in each direction.

A small clear area around 2–3 metres square is usually absolutely fine. If you can comfortably step left, right, forwards and backwards without bumping into furniture, you’ll have plenty of room to work with.

Before your first online session, I’ll also send over a simple guide with tips on things like camera positioning and setting up your space so everything feels nice and easy on the day.

Other services & gift ideas

Do you offer gift vouchers?

Yes, absolutely.

First dance lessons can make such a lovely engagement or pre-wedding gift, especially for couples who are feeling a bit nervous about the dance but haven’t quite got around to organising it yet.

I offer gift vouchers for wedding first dance lessons and packages, and I’m always happy to help if you’re unsure what might suit them best.

Do you only offer wedding first dance lessons?

Not at all.

Alongside wedding first dance coaching, I also offer parent dances such as father-daughter and mother-son dances, relaxed hen party dance experiences, and feel-good group sessions designed to build confidence, connection and joy through dance.

Everything I offer follows the same relaxed, supportive approach. It’s never about being perfect or performing, just helping people feel more comfortable, connected and able to enjoy the moment.

If you’re looking for something a little different, just get in touch and we can chat through ideas together.
