Frequently asked questions
Do we need any dance experience?
Not at all. In fact, most couples we work with have never danced before.
Our sessions are designed to be relaxed, fun and easy to follow, so even complete beginners can feel confident on the dance floor.
How many lessons do we need?
It depends on what you would like to achieve.
• 3 sessions – a simple, natural first dance
• 4–6 sessions – a comfortable routine with a few beautiful moments
• 8+ sessions – a more choreographed routine with lifts or dramatic elements
We’ll guide you based on your song and comfort level.
When should we start our lessons?
Ideally 4–8 weeks before your wedding.
This gives enough time to learn comfortably without feeling rushed.
However, if your wedding is sooner, don’t worry. We can often create something beautiful in just a few sessions.
What should we wear to lessons?
Comfortable clothing you can move in is perfect.
For later sessions we recommend bringing the shoes you plan to wear on the day, especially if they have heels, so you feel confident dancing in them.
What if we have two left feet?
You are exactly the kind of couple we love working with.
Most couples arrive feeling nervous about dancing, but private sessions mean there’s no audience and no pressure. We build everything step by step so you feel comfortable and confident.
Can you choreograph to our chosen song?
Absolutely. Your routine will be tailored to your song, personalities and comfort level, so it feels natural and suits you as a couple.
Where do lessons take place?
Lessons can take place in an intimate teaching space in Portishead or in the comfort of your own home if you prefer. Travel within the first 8 miles of Portishead is included.
Can we record the routine to practice?
Yes. Many couples find it helpful to record short clips of the choreography so they can practice between sessions.
What if we’re not sure yet?
That’s exactly what a trial session is for. It’s a relaxed introduction where we explore a few steps together and see what feels right for you.
Most couples leave thinking:
"That was actually much easier than we expected."
