Our award-winning dance choreography has been in high demand, and we are excited to announce that we have added additional wedding first dance lesson availability to accommodate the phenomenal interest.

At our studio, we understand how important your first dance as a married couple is. We believe that it should be an expression of your unique personalities and love story. That’s why we offer personalised dance lessons and choreography services. Our aim is to help you feel confident and comfortable on the dance floor.

Our experienced instructor will work with you to create a memorable dance routine that is tailored to your preferences and skill level. We cater for all requirements whether you just want some confidence with basic steps or something more involved. We always work on the basis that you should look like you’re dancing, not trying to!

Award Winning

Learn To Dance have received numerous awards and accolades for our wedding dance choreography. This year we were honoured to receive an accolade from popular wedding site Hitched, voted for by recent wedding couples.

You can read testimonials from past couples on our wedding page.

Wedding Dance Choreography

We take great pride in our ability to help couples create a truly magical moment on their special day. Planning a wedding can be stressful, but our team is here to make the dance portion of your wedding planning process as smooth and enjoyable as possible. Many couples comment on how much they enjoyed taking time out from wedding planning, to do something just ‘for themselves’.

Our additional availability is a testament to the quality of our services and the satisfaction of our clients. We are excited to be able to offer even more couples the opportunity to experience the magic of our award-winning dance choreography.

Advance booking preferred, to allow us to make sure we have enough bubbly! However you can just turn up on the night. Read more….

Bournemouth Discount Deadline

Sunday 30th April is the payment deadline for saving £15pp on our Bournemouth Dance weekend.

We’ll have Waltz & Salsa workshops, as well as a masquerade ball on the Saturday night.

You’ll need to pay in full by the end of Sunday to receive the discount. Read more….

Spring Dinner & Dance Deadline

Our Spring Dinner & Dance takes place on Friday 5th May but the booking deadline is Friday 28th April.

There’ll be a red/white/blue theme in honour of the King’s Coronation and places cost £37.50pp. Read more….

School Closed Coronation Weekend

The school will be closed on Sunday 7th May to allow everyone to partake in whatever festivities communities may be hosting.

Sunday Workshop Changes

Due to declining numbers in our Sunday workshops we have made the decision to cancel Sunday Improver, Intermediate and Advanced workshops with immediate effect.

Sunday Sequence & Social workshops will continue for the moment.

For the next few weeks both Antony & Denise will open up additional private lesson availability whilst we review what will take place on Sundays.

Read more and let us know what you’d like us to replace them with….

Changes to Social Event Regularity

As we now host a wide variety of social events over the course of the year we are going to reduce the number of Friday night socials.

Instead of having a monthly Friday social we will only host them every two months, when we don’t have another event that month.

As such our next standard social will be Friday 30th June, with our Halloween social then on Friday 27th October.

Waltz & Jive Courses starting next month

Our next One Dance Courses start in May. There will be a Jive course starting from Wednesday 17th May, and a Waltz course from Monday 22nd May.

Courses cost £45pp for a 6 week course. The courses get extended in 6 week blocks and often run for 18 weeks in total. Read more….

What You May Have Missed

Hitched First Dance Choreography Award Winners

Hitched, the popular wedding booking portal, awarded us with an award for our Wedding Frist Dance Choreography this year!

The awards are voted for by actual wedding couples and we’re honoured that so many of our first dance couples from last year voted for us to win. Read more….

Glastonbury Dance Weekend

We had another great break down in Street near Glastonbury. This year we were teaching Quickstep and had a ‘Charleston’ theme to the Saturday night.

It’s always wonderful that so many of our students take the time to make the effort for these themes.

Remember our next dance break will be Bournemouth in October and you can save £15pp if you book and pay in full before the end of this month! Read more….

‘Silent’ Social for Comic Relief

Back in March we held a Ballroom and Latin American Silent Disco in aid of Comic Relief.

It was a great night and thank you to everyone who attended, or donated if they were unable to make it.

Overall we raised over £600 for Comic Relief, well in excess of our £250 target, and many students asked us when we were going to host the next one! Read more….

Good Friday Afternoon Tea

This year we decided to trial having our Spring afternoon tea on Good Friday, the idea being to allow you to pencil the date in every year.

It was a sell-out event and everyone had a great time.

Our next catered event is the Spring Dinner & Dance, and our next Afternoon Tea will be at Christmas (details soon).

The Hitched.co.uk Wedding Awards recognise outstanding wedding professionals from across the industry, based on feedback from actual weddings.

This year marks the second edition of the prestigious Hitched Wedding Awards. It is Learn To Dance’s first win (there weren’t a lot of wedding couples for us in 2021!).

Over 18,000 wedding companies registered on the Hitched.co.uk platform were in the running. However Learn To Dance received a total of 18 reviews on Hitched.co.uk with an overall rating of 5/5!

What Award Did We Win?

We won the Hitched Wedding Awards 2023 for Wedding Entertainment, which is the category they include First Dance Choreography in.

Learn To Dance, and thousands of wedding professionals in the UK have just completed an unprecedented year for the industry. 2022 was the year of the ‘wedding boom’ following hundreds of thousands of delayed celebrations. We still have wedding couples on the books that had to postpone their weddings due to the Coronavirus pandemic!

As a result we now have a special badge on our Hitched listing, which recognises us as winners of the Wedding Awards 2023. We also can display the badge on our Wedding First Dance Choreography page too. This serves as a marker of quality to the thousands of couples who use Hitched to book.

We are honoured that our previous wedding couples felt we provide a 5* service and we look forward to teaching more first dance couples in the year to come. (Antony has even had an enquiry to incorporate a choreographed light saber battle into someone’s routine…!)

If you wish to check out all the reviews we received, visit our Hitched profile page.

I’m Interested in Wedding First Dance Choreography Lessons

As we type this we currently have a regular corporate group class that includes attendees in Denmark & Japan; wedding couples in Norwich & Scotland; and students taking the odd private lesson online if their schedule means they can’t make their session at the studio!

Plus enquiries for Zoom Dance Lessons are increasing.

Zoom Wedding First Dance Lessons Online

We’re getting a lot of enquiries for our wedding first dance lessons to be provided online at the moment. Thanks to our dedicated Zoom Dance Lessons setup, not living close to our studio is no longer a restriction on your ability to experience our dance lessons.

We are experienced in how to translate our dance moves into easy to follow instructions online. Our First Dance choreography lessons are tailored around your choice of song. We work with you to put together a routine you can enjoy on your wedding day.

Worried about whether you’ll forget the moves in between sessions? We record some of your Zoom First Dance lessons practices. You are then sent a download link and can refer back to the videos to assist your memory when practicing.

The great thing with our Zoom First Dance lessons setup is that we can be available at short notice. A lot of our wedding first dance lessons enquiries are coming in only a few weeks before their wedding. We provide lessons five days a week (including Sundays) but we can be flexible should you struggle to find slots.

With prices starting from £35 we have options to suit all budgets, including a number of First Dance package options. If you’d like to discuss our First Dance lessons get in touch or search our availability now.

Zoom Private Dance Lessons

Not able to make your booked lesson? Maybe you’re still nervous about the Coronavirus levels or live too far away to attend our studio? Don’t worry we can still provide dance lessons online via Zoom.

Whether it’s fun solo dance routines, learning the basics of Ballroom and Latin American, or adapting Sequence dances to your front rooms, we’re experienced in compressing the dances into confined spaces.

Did you know that during the 2021 UK lockdown we even adapted the Waltz as an 18 week online course!

Lessons can be booked as purely Zoom Dance Lessons (just choose the Zoom option when booking). But we are also able to switch an existing in-person session to Zoom if you find yourself unable to make a booked appointment at short notice.

Interested in booking yourself a Zoom Dance Lesson with one of our team? You can search our availability and book online.

Corporate and Team Building Online Events

Whilst we are experienced in providing dance sessions for corporate events and team building days we have seen a rise in enquiries for streamed sessions.

We run weekly sessions for EJEF (a English-Japanese language school in Buckinghamshire) which includes regular attendees from Japan. They also have colleagues that have taken part in the Zoom Dance Lessons from around the globe (including Denmark & Tehran).

Carers Wales enlisted us to provide a fun Saturday Night Fever workshop as part of their ‘Me Time‘ project. The project aims to support un-paid carers with their mental health, especially due to the effects of the pandemic.

The Zoom Dance session was a great hit, with one person even taking part from a houseboat! We loved hearing how well it went:

Just to say a huge thanks from Amber and I – it was the best afternoon at work ever!!…So many smiley faces…Thanks again … it was a real blast !!!

YouTube Dance Lessons

During the first UK lockdown we produced four videos a week to hopefully keep our students busy and entertained. With options for Solo dancers, Partners, Sequence and Kids we tried to make sure there was something for everyone.

Since the reopening of the dance school we have still tried to maintain a weekly online dance lesson on our YouTube channel. In fact our viewership quickly went global and only around 12% of our viewership are actually based in the UK!
