START YOUR FIRST WEDDING DANCE

You're Getting Ready for Your First Wedding Dance

You might be worried about your partner stepping on your feet, you tripping over your own dress, both of you dancing awkwardly to a different beat, or your partner spinning you out into a wild underarm turn, then you trip and fall into your in-law's table sending grandma's lobster risotto flying across the room! 

You don't want that. And neither does grandma. (The videographer loved it though! #weddingfail)

What you want is to look fabulous and feel confident. You want to move together seamlessly. You want to dance romantically in each other's arms. You want to look great in those photos (and videos), and maybe even impress someone. 

Here's the cold hard truth. (Pause for dramatic effect.)

You can have all of that. With just a little effort, a little living room (i.e. practice dance floor) and the right guidance. You can absolutely have the first wedding dance you imagine, however simple or fantastical it may be!

 

 

"I’m not sure what kind of witchcraft these teachers practice, but they have made a dancing man out of my husband."

Meet Your Wedding Dance Teachers

 

Hey there, it's Emily here, and that debonair man in the photo is my husband Raymond. He's also your new dance teacher, along side me. 

That's us on our wedding day.

We danced immediately following our ceremony in this beautiful historic gazebo at an oceanside park in Charleston. 

That dance was everything I wanted it to be! (And some would say I have high expectations.) 

So whatever your wedding dance vision may be, we can help you get there. 

Over the last 20 years, my husband and I have helped hundreds of couples shake off the nerves and look elegant and confident in their own unique style on their wedding day. So when the DJ announces it's time for your first dance, YOU WILL FEEL FABULOUS.

And later, when the "I do's" are done and that first dance photo has been framed and hung, you'll realize that at the very beginning of your marriage, you learned to dance together, and that is a ceremony unto itself.

See you on the dance floor, darling.
