The first dance is always a bit of a controversial subject with weddings. Some see it as being an important tradition within the day where others choose not to include it at all.
Personally, I think your first dance is one of those traditions that should be kept in every wedding. The day just flies by and when 7pm has rolled around the couple are always in disbelief that it is time for the evening guests already. Then it’s time for your first dance, an intimate moment for just the 2 of you to be away from the hustle and bustle of the day and ‘just be’. Some choose to have a full choreographed routine to surprise the guests which is always great fun, where others often opt for something simple, classic and romantic purely to avoid the standard “school disco sway”.
Every couple I have ever taught have told me afterward how grateful they were for the lessons building up to the day as it has helped take away the nerves of doing the first dance but also often even helped stress within the relationship. The lead up to a wedding can be so stressful and busy and there is something about just having a dance in your living room together once a week that seems to take all of that away for 90minutes and to just focus on one another. Dance is scientifically proven to release dopamine which is a natural mood booster as well as helping to reduce levels of cortisol which is a stress hormone so it is no surprise that when going through such a stress-full time together dance is able to help with all those feel-good endorphins flowing around the blood stream. It should be a relaxing experience, especially with teachers such as mine who are able to bring this to you in your own home as a private service rather than the pressure of walking into a dance studio filled with dancers.
I am yet to have a couple who has not enjoyed their dance lessons. I have also never had a couple decide they don’t want to do a dance after all, from the first lesson majority of couples only ever seem to get more excited about the sessions and more passionate about the dance. So although it may be scary committing to that first class, I am 99.9% sure you will love it and want to continue. Whether that be a big show off dance for all of your guest’s entertainment, or just an intimate moment for you both to share on the day, I truly couldn’t recommend it enough. I doubt you will ever regret doing it and you will forever share a love and passion for dancing together in the living room.
Siobhan was so lovely, we absolutely loved our dance lessons ahead of our wedding. My husband really isn’t a dancer but she made us both feel so at ease, she was patient, and I think he genuinely enjoyed it! It was so special to perform our little routine on the day - our guests loved it! Would highly recommend.
Siobhán came to our flat 4 times before our wedding and crafted the routine of our dreams! Neither of us can dance but we wanted a unique, funny and memorable dance routine which would wow our guests, and that's exactly what we got! Our guests cried with happiness and laughter as we danced, and Siobhán is just the most patient and fun teacher ever :) I wouldn't hesitate to recommend SuzieQ Dance lessons!
Highly recommended! We had no dance experience at all, but Siobhan choreographed a beautiful dance which made us look professional! She knew our song really well and was able to put the perfect steps to the music, she also was also able to edit the actual song perfectly. She was very patient with us, made us feel comfortable and was very accommodating with timings for the classes which made life easier for us. We thoroughly enjoyed the whole experience with Siobhan, from the lessons to the our Wedding day dance.
Siobhan was fantastic in helping us prepare our first dance - we were both pretty nervous about the whole thing but she made us so much more confident even after our first session. She choreographed a fantastic routine which brought the house down at our wedding, we had so many comments from guests about the dance. Siobhan was also really flexible as my husband has some ongoing hip and back issues and she was great at finding movements that were ok for him to do and changing the routine when things weren't working. Thank you so much for making this part of our big day so special!
We contacted Siobhan for our wedding party dance. She is an outstanding dance instructor. As a person who has never danced before, I was initially apprehensive, but her patient guidance and expert instruction quickly put me at ease. The lessons were tailored to our level, breaking down the steps with clarity and encouragement. We are both incredibly grateful for her expertise and warmth. It made our party preparations fun!
