Dance Company will be closed until Monday 12th of August. Its time for my annual holiday to somewhere warm.

Do send me an email if you are interested in any of the teaching options I have available. While I’m away I may not be able to respond to phone calls.

LOOKING FOR ADVICE FOR YOUR WEDDING DANCE?

While every couple will have some specific questions below are two of the more common ones:

HOW MUCH TIME DO WE NEED TO PUT IN?

This depends on what exactly you want your first dance to be. If you want something that’s fairly formal, or with complicated moves or plan a very slick performance, you will need to put aside about 2-3 months of weekly lessons. If you want something a little more casual you could set aside 4-6 weeks. If you just want a few simple moves you could have just one lesson.

You do need to be able to practice between lessons too. Not hours and hours, but enough so each lesson can build on what you both already know.

WHEN SHOULD WE START?

Its a good ideas to have your choreography done at least 2 weeks before the big day if you can – then you have less to stress about. You can also learn your choreographed wedding dance well in advance and come back for a final run through in the week before the 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.

I receive lovely comments from the Wedding Couples I work with:

“Just wanted to let you know we pulled our dance off brilliantly! The guests were incredibly impressed that we’d been to dance lessons and couldn’t believe my husband picked it up so easily! We had a lot of fun and were so proud we nailed it! Thanks so much for your choreography and positive teaching.” L&C

“The wedding was amazing and we surprised everyone with our dance. They all absolutely loved it and were so impressed!  Thank you for your patience and crafting a dance that suited us, you really made learning easy and fun. Definitely a memorable experience and I’m so glad we did it.” K&N  

Group Class

After Easter I will be hosting another 6 week group class. It will be on Tuesday nights from 7.30pm – 8.30pm at the Tauranga Senior Citizens Hall, 14 Norris St Tauranga. It is easier if you have arranged your own partner. If you think this might be just what you need, or if you want to discuss finding a partner call me for more details. I do promise a fun class with a good dollop of technique. Lessons start on the 2nd of April.

I also offer an open Sunday Practice session every fortnight. These are from 6pm – 7.30pm and cover Ballroom, New Vogue and Latin American. The purpose of practice is to work on those things that you learn during the week and just haven’t “stuck” yet. I’m there to help and don’t mind how complicated or simple the questions are.
