If you are looking for dance lessons you have come to the right place. I am qualified in Ballroom (Waltz, Tango, Foxtrot, Quickstep and Viennese Waltz) Latin American (Rumba, Cha Cha, Samba, Jive, Paso Doble) New Vogue ( such as the Merrilyn, Gypsy Tap, Tangoette, Swing Waltz plus the rest of them including The Presidents Daughters Waltz) and Classical Sequence, which was Old Time (such as the Veleta, Mayfair quickstep, Saunter Reve, Tango Solair plus the rest of them) and I also qualified as a Ceroc/Modern Jive Teacher. I’ve choreographed theatre shows, many formation teams and performance show cases. I love teaching aerials and tricks and I have a passion for teaching adult beginners.

I also teach Wedding couples.

Kerry and Brian are heading home in a week to get married and show off their new skills to their friends and family.

Our wedding dance lessons with Elly were nothing short of exceptional! From the moment we met her, we knew we were in great hands. She was incredibly personable, making us feel comfortable and at ease. Her teaching style was clear, patient, and tailored to our abilities, which made learning so enjoyable. She worked with us to create a dance that was perfect for our special day, and we couldn’t be happier with the results. Thanks to Elly, we felt confident and excited to perform. We highly recommend Elly to anyone looking for a fantastic dance instructor!

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.
