Private Lessons
If you are interested in regular or occasional lessons in Ballroom, Latin American, New Vogue and even Classical Sequence and Modern Jive do contact me. I dance lead and follow so all aspects of the dances are covered if you don’t have a partner.
I am also available to take 2/3 couples in a private lesson if you want to learn to dance with friends or family. This works well if you have a special occasion coming up, if you are just a little bored with what you already know or lead, or if you want to learn a New Vogue or social sequence dance in a way that’s much easier than following another couple on the floor.
“…its great to try something new and we both (think) you are an amazing passionate teacher”.
Wedding dances
I have always advised having your choreography done at least 2 weeks before the big day as it leaves one less thing to stress about. You can also learn your choreographed wedding dance well in advance and come back for a final run through before your wedding – and that works well for some couples. Do consider booking your wedding dance lessons in advance – that means one less thing to worry about closer to the actual day.
Izzy and Max
Izzy and Max had a number of lessons through January and February. This is what they had to say about their experience:
“… we absolutely loved our lessons. They became such a special part of the lead-up to our wedding.
What could have felt quite intimidating at first quickly became something we genuinely looked forward to each week, largely because of the environment – warm, encouraging, relaxed, and genuinely fun.
As soon as the dance was over on the night, we honestly wanted to do it all again. It ended up being one of our favourite experiences leading up to the wedding and such a special memory from the day itself. We had so many comments from guests who were completely blown away!”
” The choreography was excellent and struck such a great balance between looking impressive while still feeling natural and true to us as a couple. We appreciated how collaborative the process felt. Elly had creative ideas but also listened to what felt meaningful to us and incorporated moves that reflected our relationship.”
” .. explanations and demonstrations were always clear, and we appreciated how adaptable you were when we needed to learn something a different way. We especially appreciated was how consistently you filmed parts of the routine as we progressed. Being able to rewatch everything between lessons helped so much with practicing and building confidence.”
Do let me know if I can help you have a memorable experience either your first dance/wedding dance or building your partner dance skills.
