We can’t believe it…the big day has been and gone…and we nailed the dance 😀 Just wanted to say a massive thank you. We had so much fun in the 3 lessons with you and you worked wonders with 2 people who have never danced before. Your bubbly personality made us feel so relaxed with one of the most daunting prospects of the wedding, and actually the whole thing was so much fun. I am sure we will be back in contact soon, as we are keen to try out beginners ballroom, just need to choose which ones
Emma & Marek
We had so much fun learning the dance with you and was by far (for me anyway!) the best part of organising the wedding, as it gave us a weekly release of stress in the lead up, so thank you so much. We had an amazing time and the guests loved it too. We even had a bridesmaid crying and the response we got at the end was awesome!!
Jamal & Dominique
Thank you so much for your fantastic teaching, that meant we could pull off such a great first dance. We both really enjoyed the lessons and achieved more than we believed possible for two uncoordinated people! The dance went perfectly, we made half the guests cry and everyone commented on what a lovely moment it was.
Lindsey & Richard
Just had our first #wedding #dance lesson at @1stDanceStudios & it was awesome! Highly recommend!
Jen & Rob
“Omg! The dance was a HUGE success! We got 7’s held up by the audience! It was an amazing finish to a really wonderful day. We can’t thank you enough.”
Claire & Jim
My husband-to-be was very reluctant about doing a first dance and shunned the idea of dance lessons, concerned he would embarrass himself in front of his friends and family. But when I told him about First Dance, I encouraged him to go along for a taster and see if he liked it. Little did he know but Rob ended up finding the experience really fun and realised he had rhythm too!
Emma really put us at ease and made the whole experience very informal but professional at the same time. She guided us through the steps and really made us ready for our big day. The end result really impressed our guests and I am so glad we did it- learning to dance added a new dimension to our wedding planning.
Beth & Rob
“We just wanted to thank you so very much for all your efforts in teaching us to dance and of course for such an important occasion ! You are an excellent teacher and with your help we wowed our guests with our learnings. The wedding day was fab .”
Lucy & Zak
“We just wanted to say thank you for helping us to make our First Dance unforgettable at our wedding!
Everyone was very surprised and impressed by our routine and we couldn’t have done it without your help! You are such great teachers and we wouldn’t hesitate to recommend you to others !”
Ben & Terri
“Just a quick line from Anthony and I to thank you both so much for all your help in getting us ready for our ‘First Dance’. Four left feet isn’t a great start, but we loved every minute of our lessons with you both and felt really relaxed about our First Dance’. When we got on the dance floor we both looked terrified, as the photo showed! But everyone loved it and it really made the evening extra special.
We can’t thank you enough, you really are two lovely girls and it was a privilege to share such a special time with you both.”
Jenny & Anthony
“Just a quick note to thank you so much in helping us to prepare for our amazing wedding day.
Having our First Dance all prepared made that part of the day exciting rather than daunting. We almost got it right as well- just the last turn went a little awry – but we managed to style it out ! And everyone loved the fact that we had a proper dance prepared.”
Ali & Sam
“Just wanted to thank you for all your help, support and patience in preparing us for our First Dance. As you predicted it went brilliantly on the night and was a very special part of our special day.”
Don & Maria
“Just to let you know our dance was amazing. It was just like you said…. Everyone was watching and thought ‘just another sway-sway’ and then we gave it our best! Everyone was speechless!!! We had so much fun and it was fantastic. Thank you so much. You made our special day perfect!!”
Corne & Elzene
“Thank you for all your help in making James and I look respectable on the dance floor for our first dance.
We had lots of fun in your lessons and at home practicing, and it all proved worthwhile when people starting cheering and clapping when we began the first crossovers! “
Sarah & James
“Thank you so much for ‘Everything’! We had such a wonderful day and the dance ran very smoothly. Everyone loved it and we had a huge round of applause at the end.
We would like to say a huge thank you to you for the dance and the extra time you gave us.”

“Just a quick note to let you know that everything went brilliantly ! We had so much fun and the compliments we got from our dancing were outstanding. In fact we had to do another solo dance after the first dance.”
Anita & Irfan
“We would like to thank you for putting together a great routine for our First Dance and for all your patience in teaching it to us ! We had lots of fun learning it.
The dance on the day itself went well. Our Guests seemed quite impressed/surprised and we even got a cheer at one point ! Our dance was a great success in getting people on to the dance floor.”
Diana & Pascal
“Just to say a MASSIVE thank you for all the help you gave us on our First Dance. I think several people actually passed out with shock when we started, and the cheering and applause just got louder and louder !
Even better, at the end, one of my bridesmaids who was in on the surprise, had arranged a ‘strictly come dancing’ still panel who all held up perfect 10’s !!!”
Rachel & David
“Thank you so very much for your help, choreography, expert tuition and enthusiasm with regards to our first dance :- Anastacia – ‘ I dreamed you’ !
We really enjoyed it and feel we pulled it off on the day. You were right, there were lots of whoops, tears a plenty and gobsmacked expressions ! “

Emma & Neermal
“I just wanted to let you know that our Barry White dance was completely fabulous and went down an absolute storm!!! We did it perfectly. When we finally took to the floor and started there were loads of whoops and cheers. Everyone loved it. My mum missed it the first time so we had to do a repeat performance later on in the evening. She couldn’t believe, she was totally stunned.
We just wanted to say thank you so much for all the hard work you put into choreographing our first dance and for being so patient with us. In fact, we enjoyed our lessons with you so much that we want to carry on our dancing by taking salsa lessons or something similar.”
Julie & Matthew
“Hey Katie, I just wanted to say A BIG THANK YOU for helping us with our Al Green wedding dance! We had a terrific day and the first dance went very well. We got lots of “ooooo’s” and “aaaaahhh’s” and the odd “wahey”!!!!”
Suzanne & Nick
“Well, what can I say – the dance went down a storm! As you can see from all our guests’ faces they seem to be enjoying it – probably amazed to see Ed and I moving together with some rhythm! Your dance lessons were probably our favorite thing we did in preparation for the big day – a good chance to have some fun time together which was not too wedding-adminy! We loved it and at last can now dance together! Friends that are getting married soon have already asked for your number so wait for the calls!”
Ed &Rebecca
“The wedding was wonderful and we both had a fantastic day, WELL the DANCE was the success of the event, people will not stop talking about it!!!!!! IT WAS PERFECT. The rapturous applause was amazing as we started the cha cha! Thankyou so much for your card, support and confidence in us.”
Sam & Neil
“Just a quick email to say thank you once again for teaching Steve and I to glide around the dance floor!
We were a bit nervous because when our routine had come to an end, the room was deathly silent and we thought this is because we had been so awful! However it soon transpired that they literally were gob smacked and shocked! And yes there were tears as well! Thanks once again!”
Georgina & Steve
“I just wanted to say a big thank you for the dance lesson Tim and I had. Without you we wouldn’t have had a clue! We practised and got through our first dance on the day without any noticeable mistakes (I think!). I even have a photo of us in which I am smiling and looking like I am enjoying myself. And finally, the lesson was the bit of preparation for the wedding which I enjoyed the most. Thank you!”
Bryony & Tim
“Thank you for all your help with our first dance and for the wedding card. We really enjoyed our lessons with you and really shocked our friends and family with our routine at the wedding, some friends have been trying to get us to teach them the Andy Williams dance since! “
Katherine & Ollie
“The whole day was fantastic and the dance just put the icing on the cake. All those nights we spent practicing really paid off. I did miss two twirls butonly because the hoop under my dress got caught on my heel – we blagged it though!! We had a huge round of applause at the end and I’venever seen Carl’s Dad – an ex boxer – cry so much in my life.”
Sarah & Carl
“Just to let you know that the dance went well, so well that they made us do it three times!! My mother now expects us to perform again for another reception we’re having in Italy. So from both of us thanks for all your patient and hard work.”

Dana & Paul
“The wedding – and in particular the first dance was fantastic. I still cant get over how well the dance went and the reaction that it got – I dont think I will ever forget the cheer that went up when we finished. Everyone (and I mean everyone) has commented on the dance and saying it is one of the things that they will always remember from the day. Thanks again for all your help.”
Brian & Philippa
“Well we did it, and with your help we pulled off a fantastic first dance that everyone is still talking about.
Once again thanks for all you help.”
Vickie & James
“We had an absolute ball at our wedding, and the dance you put together for us went down a storm.
I would just like to say on behalf of us both a big big thank you, the service you provided for us was superb, and the end result was just the icing on the cake of the day.”
Richard & Matthew
“The dance was a real hit and everybody was completely surprised by us.”
Taryn & Andre
“The lessons paid off!!! We were a smash hit dancing duo at our wedding, and I’d never danced before in my life!”
Jonathan & Anja
“We wanted our first dance to take everyone by surprise and it certainly did that. Emma and Katie put together a fantastic dance to Andy William’s “Can’t Take My Eyes Off Of You”, which was simple to learn and really effective. We brought the house down with our funky moves and had an absolute ball doing so.
They were such patient and lovely teachers that Becky continues to go to their regular dance lessons. These two can get the best out of anyone no matter how shy, reluctant or bad you are.”
