Wedding Dance Lessons

Liam & Maathangi

Liam had never danced before in his life. Maathangi had experience with traditional dancing, but preparing a choreographed wedding first dance was an entirely new challenge for her too. In only six private lessons they had a polished dance prepared and ready for their dream wedding.

“Despite our inexperience, Kristi made us feel very comfortable from the very beginning. We had such a great time learning our dance.”Maathangi

Juan & Alessia

Neither Juan nor Alessia had danced before, but Alessia knew her husband-to-be had Salsa in his blood. She felt the pressure to make their first dance a moment both they and their guests would remember, so we created a routine that felt personal rather than generic.

Alessia also rehearsed in a long dress similar in style to her wedding dress. That gave her time to become comfortable moving in the extra fabric and helped us identify anything that could create a wardrobe problem before the big day.

“Kristi created a beautiful routine for us that added the perfect personal touch to our special day and made it a memory to last forever.”Alessia

Chris & Tamara

Chris and Tamara wanted something a little quirky, unique and, most importantly, fun. Neither had danced before, so the goal was never to make them look like professional dancers - it was to build a routine that suited them and gave their wedding guests a moment they would remember.

They achieved their routine in only five lessons. Tamara wore her reception dress for the final two lessons so we could test the choreography properly and make sure the movement, turns and spacing worked with what she would actually wear on the night.

Jake & Julia

Jake and Julia attended one of our three-hour Wedding Dance Made Easy Bootcamps - an intensive option designed for couples who are time-poor or working to a tighter budget. During the session we practise with each couple’s chosen song and work through practical wedding-day considerations as well as the dance itself.

Julia had chosen a traditional ball gown with a hoop skirt. We were able to discuss which movements could become risky with that silhouette and prepare both Julia and Jake to manage their spacing, turns and partner position around the dress.

Ashveen & Graciela

In early 2021, Ashveen and Graciela came to us with no dance experience and, in their own words, “two left feet”. They wanted a specifically Bachata-style first dance to Señorita to honour Graciela’s heritage. Across ten private lessons we built the dance from the ground up until they could enjoy performing it confidently on their wedding day.

Gilles & Justynne

Gilles first came to Elite for private Salsa and Bachata coaching in 2019, wanting to improve his technique and feel more confident social dancing. He later met his future wife, Justynne, through the dance community - and when it was time to prepare for their wedding, private lessons became part of the story again.

Their first dance shows why wedding coaching does not need to exist in isolation: the timing, connection and confidence built through social dance training can become the foundation for a wedding routine that feels genuinely comfortable together.
