Let's be honest.
You want at least one good picture of you dancing with your new husband or wife without looking like you are at your first prom. 🤦♀️
Most couples that I work with want just TWO THINGS from their first dance:
- To look like they know what they are doing,
- And to enjoy their first dance, instead of dreading it or just "getting it over with."
Great pictures and videos don't hurt either! 😉
What's included in this course?
You'll learn...
- How to break away from the dreaded "prom sway,"
- How to twirl your partner gracefully,
- How to move around the floor to ANY FIRST DANCE SONG,
- How to dip (without falling over!), and most importantly,
- How to put it all together to create a simple, romantic dance that will impress your guests and result in multiple Instagram-worthy moments.

Don't worry!
This course features basic, UNIVERSAL beginner ballroom steps that can be applied to ANY FIRST DANCE SONG.
These are the steps that I teach 99% of the time during the first two private lessons, regardless of song choice!
Plus! There are sections in the course that explain how to apply the steps to your song based on timing, style, etc.
But, if you are still struggling after you get started...you can simply contact me and I will help you understand the timing!
If you'd prefer to take the guesswork out of it, I can create a custom choreography course for you using your first dance song.
