Its official

Dance Company has found a great Tauranga venue for wedding couple lessons.  Auckland lessons still continue in Panmure and Kingsland.

Studio162 ( at 162 Durham St, Tauranga) meets all the requirements for wedding couple lessons. The venue is easy to find, with great off street parking. The studio we are working from is small, most wedding venues don’t have large spaces available for your first dance, with a wooden floor and mirrors. Its also private, so the doors will be closed and there wont be people watching when you have your lesson.

Limited numbers of private lessons for couples are now available on late Sunday afternoon into the early evening.

Elly usually teaches around 90 wedding couples a year and each couple has had their own choreography. The songs that couples have used have been as diverse as Motley Crue, Talking Heads and The Red Hot Chilli Peppers through to Buddy Holly, Frank Sinatra and Elle Goulding, wedding party flash mobs to salsa, tango, chacha, modern and Viennese waltzes.

“Elly was amazing to work with. She put my rather reluctant husband at ease from our very first lesson (Like a lot of men, Sol had never partner danced before) and made the whole process easy and most importantly fun. I would highly recommend Elly for any couple wanting to impress the guests at their wedding.”

James and Kirsty are Auckland Wedding Showcase finalists:  http://www.aucklandweddings.co.nz/showcase/kirsty-and-james-

They say that learning their first dance was one one of their top 3 wedding moments:

“We wanted to make our first dance special so we went for 6 lessons with Elly at The Dance Company. She was incredible – she managed to give me more confidence and James his chance to have fun with a choreographed dance to INXS Never Tear Us Apart… not your standard choice but it meant a lot to us! With the chaos that came in the 2 weeks preceding the wedding, we hardly had a chance to practise but we manage to pull it off and had a lot of fun!”

So if you wish to have a first dance/wedding dance created just for you contact Elly (027 215 1430) or hi@dancecompany.co.nz

Please don’t think you have to already know how to partner dance to have a Wedding/First dance.

A few months ago I had a wonderful woman email me and say:

“I feel very uncomfortable dancing and have said to my partner, I will get some lessons and if I still cant get it, we probably wont be having a first dance at all”

I arranged a chat with her and her partner and we set up some lesson times. After their first lesson, last week, I received the following:

Hi Elly,

Thank you so much for your patience and making us feel relaxed and comfortable at our first lesson, I’m looking forward to the next one 🙂

I was so pleased. They have chosen a great song to dance to and they will look wonderful on the day.

I’m teaching in Tauranga and in Auckland, so if you want to discuss what you want on your wedding day please contact me Elly (027 215 1430) or hi@dancecompany.co.nz
