Time for your First Dance – wedding special

Congratulations! We hear that you are getting married! We are very happy for you both as you head towards your upcoming nuptials. Today and now, more than ever, take the time to celebrate and make your day even more special. Like many aspects of your big day, your first dance as a married couple is a key moment that you should look forward to and enjoy.

Take to the floor as the new married couple

At First Dance Studios we strive to provide the very best tailored experience to let you put your best foot forward and take to the floor with confidence. Whether you have 4 left feet, no sense of rhythm, a bit of dance experience or are the next Strictly champion we have a package to suit your needs, tastes and wallet.

All levels include a video recording of your class for your reference and practice, and detailed notes following the lesson. This means that you can refer to them and practice your steps as you go.

Where can I take Wedding Dance lessons?

Learning to dance to your chosen wedding song is simple. We have venues all over Surrey, including; Woking, West Byfleet, Guildford and Farnham – or lessons can be taught in a venue close to your home. Our studio follows COVID guidelines as well.

What is the first dance process?

With First Dance you learn a first dance and the initial consultation is FREE. Completely free and without obligation, our Initial First Dance Consultation lets us chat through what you are looking for, helps you decide what you need and puts your minds at ease. Not only that but the consultation can be done in person, over the phone or even via Zoom! We can go through what you need to know including music, shoes, cost, dance style and much more!

What are the different First Dance Levels?

We have four different tiers for First Dance learners. Please have a look at each one and decide which works out best for you. Our wedding first dance consultants can help guide you through the choices when you discuss them at the initial consultation.

We’ve also been featured in Surrey Weddings and been teaching new couples to dance for the first time since 2002! With dance success for almost 20 years and been featured in Surrey Weddings Magazine we would love to be part of your wedding planning.
