FAQs

What is your approach to coaching?

I help you learn moves that feel easy and enjoyable, so you can focus on each other rather than worrying about complicated routines. You’ll learn simple, reliable ways to move together, plus the tips and structure that help you feel relaxed and prepared on the day.

Do we have to do a full routine?

No, and most couples don’t want one.

My approach is about giving you a few simple, beautiful anchor points you can come back to, so your first dance feels relaxed and natural rather than choreographed and stressful.

If you’d like to add a few special touches, we absolutely can. But you’ll never be pushed into a rigid routine. The focus is always about making your first dance feel natural, comfortable and truly you.

I’m nervous about dancing - will we cope?

Yes. And you’re very much not alone. Most couples feel a bit awkward or nervous at first, that’s completely normal. We take things gently, step by step, in a relaxed, supportive way. You don’t need to be confident, coordinated, or ‘good at dancing’ to start.

Even a few sessions can make a huge difference to how calm and prepared you feel.

Do we need to pick a song before booking?

Not at all.

If you already have your song, great, we’ll work with it. If not, that’s completely fine. We can start with general guidance and you can choose your song later once things feel clearer.

There’s no pressure to have everything decided before we start.

Can we do this online, or does it have to be in person?

Both work well.

In person sessions are lovely if you’re nearby, but online sessions can work brilliantly too. Some couples even use a mix of both, depending on schedules and location.

We’ll find what works best for you.

How many sessions will we need?

There’s no single right answer, but for most couples three sessions is a lovely sweet spot.

One session can be great for a confidence boost and getting some calm structure in place. Three sessions usually gives you enough time to learn a few simple moves, practise them, and let everything settle so it feels natural rather than rushed.

Some couples choose five sessions if they want to feel extra confident or really relaxed about it all, especially if one partner is more nervous or you’d just like more time to enjoy the process.

We’ll always tailor things to you and your timeline, and there’s no pressure to commit to anything upfront.

What should we wear to sessions?

For your first session, comfortable clothes are absolutely fine. We’ll focus on connection and a few simple ideas.

For later sessions, it’s helpful to wear shoes similar to what you’ll have on the day. We can also talk through easy ways to simulate the feel of a wedding dress skirt or suit, so nothing is a surprise on the day.

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

That’s incredibly common.

Often one person is more comfortable with dancing and the other is more nervous. I’ll make sure both of you feel supported and included, and that nothing feels unbalanced or awkward.

The aim isn’t to show off, it’s to enjoy the moment together.

Do we need any dance experience?

Not at all.

You don’t need rhythm, experience, or any kind of dance background. I’ll meet you exactly where you are and help you find a few simple, natural ways to move together that feel comfortable and look lovely.

This is about feeling good together, not learning to be dancers.

How do we book a session?

Start with a free no pressure discovery call.

Just get in touch and we’ll have a relaxed chat about your wedding, your vibe and what you’re feeling nervous or excited about. From there, we’ll decide what feels right and book your sessions.

How far in advance should we start?

If you’re learning a few simple moves and keeping things relaxed and flexible, starting around three months before your wedding is ideal. That gives you time to learn, practise a little, and let everything sink in without it feeling rushed.

If you’re hoping for something more choreographed or detailed, it’s best to start a bit earlier - around five to six months before - and plan for a few more sessions so it stays enjoyable and stress free.

That said, I’ve also helped couples much closer to the day. We’ll always work with whatever time you have and make the most of it.
