"Rebecca was friendly and made things easy to understand. The steps she suggested were simple to learn, but gave the impression we'd been dancing forever! It was the lifts, though, that got the most cheers.

A great company, from the first enquiry right through to the final lesson."

"Emma, from the very first lesson, made us feel at ease. She was professional & made the lessons fun. She listened to our requests & together we put together our dance routine. It was a real pleasure having Emma choreograph our routine & it has certainly given us the motivation to carry on dancing"

"I can't say enough good things about Bethan. We were very apprehensive about the lesson but she really put us at ease and helped us to get over our nerves. The routine was easy to pick up and since we didn't want it to look too rehearsed, she showed us a variety of moves we could use in any sequence which was brilliant. And people did oooh and aaah in exactly the parts she said they would!

We are so pleased we decided to do the dance lesson! The dance went so well and although it was the bit of the wedding we were most worried about, it is now one of my favourite memories from the day. I have recommended you to friends..."

"Annette was fantastic and pushed us to put as many fantastics moves in our routine as we could learn! We wanted to wow our audience and we did just that - we managed to keep it a secret from everyone and even our parents who are dancers themselves were very very impressed! We have it all on video so will be able to reflect on the moment for many years to come. Please pass on our sincerest thanks to Annette - I'm sure we would have made her proud!

We would highly recommend learning a routine to anyone getting married. It was so much fun learning it and our audience enjoyed watching it just as much as we enjoyed performing it! Many thanks."

"Sam was great and taught us a number of steps during the lesson. She was very patient and put us both at ease. We would definitely reccommend Sam to anyone in the area for dance lessons. Please pass on our thanks to Sam - our family and friends were really impressed with our first dance!

A great gift for any newly engaged couples!!"

"Karen was always punctual (often early!) and she was very good at making us relax. Despite our frustrations at our personal limitations, Karen was patient and fun. The sessions were enjoyable and we ended up with a great dance."

The couple asked us to foward this to their teacher: -
"We wanted to let you know that the wedding dance went really well.  People were really taken in by the first serious minute and were really concerned when the music started to jump.  Then when we went to Britney, they just erupted with applause and got really into it.  We loved doing it - it was great fun and so many people came up to us afterwards to tell us how cool they thought it was. 

We didn't get anyone to properly record it but it turned out that 3 people did so on their cameras.  Two of the films have been put up on YouTube and I haven't seen the last one yet.  and  You can hear the crowd but they were much louder on the night!

Thank you so much for your help with the dance.  You were really great and made it really fun - even for beginners like us."

"Janey was fantastic. The routine she created for us was amazing. She made us feel very relaxed and taught us so much during such a short space of time. Our dance was a great hit on the night and totally amazed our guests. Everyone at our wedding were up on their feet clapping and cheering while we danced and then ran onto the dance floor to join us when we were finished. The whole experience was HEAPS and HEAPS of fun. Thanks so much Janey.

First Dance UK managed to arrange all my appointments with very little notice.

I would recommend dance lessons to anyone getting married. It is so much fun and not at all scary and hard like I thought it would be."

"Jane was fantastic, friendly, approachable, had great ideas and understood exactly the mood we wanted to create.

We were a little nervous just before hand but we managed the dance without a hitch. It was a lovely surprise for our guests who were overwhelmed!

Thanks First Dance UK and thank you to Jane for a fantastic experience."

"We absolutely love Sam! She was so patient with us, made us feel confident and relaxed and was just a total professional. We could not have done it without her, and she is now a firm friend of ours - she will be getting a bit of our cake soon! I would without hesitation recommend Sam to anyone - she is marvellous! Please tell her how great she is! If only the wedding had been in our hometown, we would have happily invited her for the day.

100% happy with all aspects of the service."

"Clare was excellent and really took her time to make sure we knew what she was explaining

The service was 1st class and probably one of the best things we could have spent £250 on to make our day perfect. We live in England but got married in Ireland. My new wife planned everything perfectly and to be able to dance like we did for our first dance was superb, considering I have two left feet and usually get refered to as virgil out of the Thunderbirds when I dance! We shocked all of our guests and the man doing the video said it was one of the best first dances he had ever seen!! Thankyou once again and a big thankyou to Clare for teaching us the routine. We wouldn't hesistate to recommend you."

"We both agree that Claire did an excellent job with the routine and the training she gave us. The encouragement was outstanding which gave us the confidence to perform the first dance at our wedding. All of our guests were pleasantly stunned and congratulated the both of us on an amazing performance. It really made our day special and one we shall never forget. We would like to thank Claire for all her hard work and support which was second to none.

We could not ask or hope for a better service or choreographer.

Thank You Claire
Thank You First Dance UK"

"Bethan did an amazing job with her two left footed clients! She was very patient with our lack of timing and rhythm! We're so glad we decided to learn a routine. We kept it a total secret from everyone (including the bridesmaid!) and the cheers we got from all our guests certainly made it all worthwhile!"

"Janey was absolutely fantastic. She choreographed a fabulous routine which got the loudest round of applause afterwards. When we mentioned we wanted to change part of the routine, she came up with an alternative on the spot which looked fantastic and felt right to us both. She was very friendly and made us feel totally at ease. Our first dance went from being one of my concerns to one of my favourite parts of the day.

We would strongly recommend both First Dance UK and Janey.

LOVED IT, LOVED IT, LOVED IT!"

"Aby was extremely patient and had a good sense of humour (which helped a lot!) Andy is now raring for "Strictly come dancing...."

Thank you for responding so quickly when we'd forgotten a part of our routine and putting us in touch with Aby!

We thoroughly enjoyed ourselves and suprised our guests on the day as we'd kept it a secret. They would never have believed that we would have been capable of performing such a professional-looking dance! Thank you to Aby and to all at First Dance UK for making it so easy and so much fun."

"Abigail was wonderful. She made us feel completely at ease and made the whole experience fun for us both. She was patient and encouraging, always on time and helped to allay our nerves in a kind and thoughtful way.

The booking procedure was professional and easy to follow. Communications were good and we were kept informed at all times. Good website with easy to follow instructions.

We thouroughly enjoyed the whole experience. We were both a bit nervous to start with but we soon relaxed and were thrilled to be able to master the routine which Abigail taught us. On the night, our routine went really well, in fact we were asked to do another before the evening came to a close. Our friends and family were thrilled with the surprise. It made the perfect end to a perfect day!"

"Absolutely wonderful, nothing was a problem or too much trouble. If we get married again we will definitely be using you!!!"

"Clare was absolutely fantastic as our teacher. She allowed us to work out what we were comfortable with and had absolutely no pressure to be 'perfect'. Your website and booking system were very easy to work with. "

"Kitty was fantastic. Really enthusiastic and created a routine for us which thrilled everyone at our wedding. Lessons were really fun and she was really responsive to our suggestions and feelings.

We have nothing but good things to say about First Dance UK. We will be recommending you to our next friends taking the plunge."

"We were extremely impressed with Susie's ability to get us dancing! She was very encouraging and her enthusiasm was refreshing. We would highly recommend her to anyone who is a little nervous about the prospect about dancing on the big day and would like to thank her personally! Please pass on our thanks and let her know that our guests did think it was amazing! x

Every effort was made to arrange lesson times suitable to us.

Dance lessons were certainly not top of our list when we started planning our wedding. However, having experienced the lessons and listened to our guests feedback afterwards, it was certainly a worthwhile investment."

"Dear First Dance UK,

My husband and I would like to thank you for the fantastic service offered by First Dance UK. Our choreographer was Tor and she was absolutely fantastic: so full of energy & enthusiasm, careful & attentive to what we wanted to do and filled us with confidence for our dance on the day.

The lessons were tremendous fun and we were amazed at what we acheived. On the night our dance had our guests gasping, clapping & cheering and we loved every minute of it!

Thank you for your help in wowwing our guests - they were so impressed."

"Nicola was very enthusiastic and patient. She adapted the dance to our personal learning styles and was very friendly and professional.

The customer service was very professional and the website was easy to follow and use.

Overall a briliant service. Made our day extra special. A must do for any wedding!!!"

"Eleni was extremely helpful and professional. She ensured that we were comfortable with the routine.

We were quite apprehensive about the lessons, but Eleni put us at ease. It was brilliant that she was a professional dancer/choreographer. We will try and continue with dance lessons as we found it very enjoyable."

"Hannah was an absolute star and we can't thank her enough. Through all the stress of the planning having this little bundle of brilliance appear once a week was a huge pleasure for us both - learning our dance was the most enjoyable part of the preparation thanks to Hannah!!!"

"Gemma was brilliant! We really had a laugh whilst undertaking our lessons, and she came up with some great ideas for our dance. it was a pleasure to be taught by her.

It was great! The looks on our guests faces said it all, and we even had to do an encore at the end of the night people were so impressed! Many guests said that the dance 'made' the wedding, and that they would always remember it for that, so thank you for giving us a night to remember!"

"We would like to thank you helping us to make our day special. The booking process was simple and very efficient. Clare was a brilliant teacher - she was nice and funny, but also very professional. She listened to our needs and put together a routine that worked well. We were very sceptical that we would be able to learn a routine in only 5 hours (no time for additional practice) but we did and it worked. We were very pleased with the result because we felt very comfortable doing the routine, which must have looked nice since many of the guests had tears in their eyes.

Thank you so much for making our wedding a bit more special than it would have been without a lovely first dance."

"Dear First Dance UK,

Just wanted to say a big thank you to our choreographer Claire who was great in helping us with our ‘first dance' at our recent wedding. We booked with First Dance UK because neither of us just wanted to shuffle around the dance floor for the entire song! Claire made us feel totally at ease but also prepared a routine with us that we could both cope with (despite as she said, 'doing advanced steps'!)

Our ‘first dance' got a fantastic reception on the night especially as it was to a live band! Moreover, our friends and family are still talking about it now!

Thank you very much."

"Cheryl was great fun and very patient throughout the course of lessons and we enjoyed practicing in between and it even helped relieve stress!

The reaction we got was amazing. Whoops and cheers and thunderous applause, especially when my new hubby lifted me in the air, they just roared! Our photographer took a great shot and has now used that as his centrepiece for his website's homepage!

I would highly recommend this to anyone and it gives your guests such a fantastic surprise as they expect you to just to fall asleep on each other's shoulders!"

"Gemma was great and made us feel relaxed and comfortable so that we could do the routine she choreographed. She made it great fun and gave some good tips. It was well worth having a lesson!

The booking and payment was easy even though it was short notice.

We would definitely recommend First Dance UK to anyone. It was a fun experience and even made us think we would like to take up dance lessons not just for our wedding!"

"Clare was extremely lovely and made the whole experience brilliant even though we were very tired most nights she came along. Absolutely brilliant! We were very proud on the day."

"Jo was excellent, we cannot recommend her strongly enough. She put us at ease immediatly as though we were old friends and made the whole experience really fun.

Brilliant service, one of the highlights of the wedding planning process."

"Karen did a fantastic job in a very short space of time (3 lessons in 1 week!).

We've never seen such a fantastic reaction to a first dance before and the fact that we were made to repeat the perfomance again later in the evening, is testement to just how good a job Karen did!

It was all arranged very 'last minute' everyone involved did a fantastic job.

We would recommend First Dance UK to any couple, the service could not be faulted and the reaction from our guests was worth every single penny!"

"Our teacher was lovely. She was patient and kind throughout and accommodating to changes of dates and venues for practice. She was encouraging througout."

"Liz was very friendly and listened to exactly what we wanted. she explained things simply and went over things we were unsure about until we were comfortable with it."

"Our choreographer was very accommodating and flexible"

"Fantastic. Diane took a personal interest in us and made what could have been an embarrassing situation relaxed and comfortable"

"Conor understood our (my) limitations and set a routine that suited us perfectly!"

"Kiersten was fabulous - she was extremely patient, thorough in her explanations and really easy to get along with. We really enjoyed our lessons with her!

I was so delighted with my whole experience - I spoke to Gemma and she just organised the whole thing for us, and made it all really easy.

I have recommended you to 3 or my other friends who are getting married this year!"

"Our lessons with First Dance UK were the best money we spent on our wedding day. We kept our dance a secret from everyone and once we started, everyone was cheering, clapping, taking photographs and completely blown away and wowed by what they saw. Many commented to us it was the highlight of the day/evening and we were asked for an encore later.

On the second performance the atmosphere was electric - people were just clapping and cheering all the way through. It is a memory we will never forget and people are still talking to us about it a month after the wedding.

I would highly recommend taking the time to learn a first dance routine as not only does it give you more to do than the standard shuffle on the dance floor but it is a memory you and your guests take away forever. Both of us had never danced before and learnt quite a complex routine in the standard five hour package.

Our instructor was fantastic and created a perfect routine not only to match the music we wanted, but to impress the audience, even with our lack of dance experience. The only sad part of the experience was that our lessons finished as we really enjoyed them. We still do our routine today as we never want to forget it.

Thanks Gemma and First Dance UK - you made our wedding day"

"Our choreographer was very friendly and immediately put us both at ease. She was always willing to take on board any ideas we had of our own, or to change any part of the routine we were having difficulty with.

We had a lot of fun during the lessons and the reaction from our guests when we performed our routine was unbelievable, it was definitely the highlight of our day. At the end of the night we were back to perform it a second time by popular demand.

Three weeks later and our guests are still talking about it! We would thoroughly recommend it to any future couples wanting to make their big day memorable."

"Our teacher was an absolute joy to work with and changed what could have been a potentially embarassing dance, and equally the longest 4 minutes of our lives, into one of many highlights to our wedding.

I would have no hesitation in recommending her to my friends."

"My fiance and I had a so much fun learning to dance with our choreographer. She was very personable, enthusiastic, extremely competent and experienced, and had lots of patience with us. We knew we were in good hands with her. We can't wait to keep dancing once the wedding is over!

Wedding planning is such a stressful time and I worried that learning a choreographed first dance would be another stress! In fact it was the opposite. My fiance and I laughed, learned to communicate a bit more with each other, and dancing helped us focus on how much fun we will have on our wedding day, not the stress of planning!

Thanks also to you for responding so quickly to my request for lessons. I left it quite late so I was thrilled that you could find an instructor and some dates that suited our very tight schedule."

"I want to send you a thanks for our teacher and her brilliant and patient tuition. It was perfect for us - she choreographed an ideal routine and it went brilliantly on the night. Karen was superb and we did manage to do her good work justice - the audience was cheering and amazed by the whole thing.

Thank you very much indeed. It was well worth it and a treasured memory of laughter and fantastic fun."

"She was a wonderful Choreographer who provided our dance lessons with energy, fun and positivity.

An asset to First Dance UK . Go Suzie!!!"

"Our choreographer was absolutely fantastic. The routine was far, far better than we could of imagined. Our audience reaction was amazing, everyone still talks about our first dance. It was a real pleasure to have our dance lessons with our teacher!"

"Our choreographer was brilliant, she was an excellent patient teacher and made us really enjoy the lessons. The dance was a big hit on the day....... thanks very much X"

"Our choreographer was absolutely wonderful. He was great fun, showed infinite patience and was very accommodating of us changing a couple of session times.

Everyone really was surprised by our dance and it really went down well as well as both my husband and myself having a great time. Some fab photos have come out of it and you can really tell we were having FUN!

Thanks to all of you and especially our choreographer for allowing us to have a proper "first dance" rather than hugging in the middle of the dance floor and swaying a little bit!

Excellent fun from the lessons themselves, practicing all the way to the dance itself!"

"We had 5 hours of lessons and went from absolute beginners to wowing everyone at our wedding. Our choreographer was very good, extremely friendly and didn't make us feel silly. The dancing was a total suprise for our guests and when the DJ invited them to join us half way through our song, no one did they just all stood there with their mouths open (as we saw on our video) cheering and clapping at all our moves.

It was absolutely fantastic and has been a talking point for everyone that saw it and those that didn't have requested to see our video. Also friends that have already got married said they wish they had thought of dance lessons.

We definitely recommend having a special song choreographed for a first dance."

"Our Choreographer was always very cheerful and motivational. We really enjoyed our lessons as we had the perfect teacher. She was very patient when we made mistakes and full of praise when we got it right. Cannot thank her enough."

"I wanted to let you know how the day went - fabulous!!! It was truly amazing and the highlight of the day was our dance, believe it or not! It really was. We put it right to the back of our minds until we cut the cake as we did it directly after that and it went down a storm. Everyone was about to carry on drinking but had to do a double take when they saw us leaning and turning!! Everyone was totally blown away by it especially my Mum who said we should take it up professionally...! We were on such a high afterwards and wanted to carry on all night. We actually did do it again later, when we were getting ready to leave.

Thank you so much for all your help, it really made the day."

"Our Choreographer was really nice and helpful and did all that we needed to help us achieve the kind of first dance we wanted."

"Our Choreographer was totally fantastic. My husband has two left feet (he won't mind me admitting that!) and we booked First Dance UK because neither of us just wanted to shuffle around the dance floor for three minutes! She made us feel totally at ease but also prepared a routine with us that we could both cope with but, at the same time, made us look like we knew what we were doing!

Needless to say, the first dance got a fantastic reception - in fact, our friends and family are still talking about it now - three weeks after the event!

Thank you very much."

"Our Choreographer was absolutely fantastic and made 2 complete beginners feel at ease and comfortable. We were so relaxed and happy with the routine that it went perfectly."

"Our dance teacher provided us with a perfect routine through a well thoughtout and considerate manner of teaching us. We are keen to continue dancing and hope our choreographer will get the opportunity to help more couples make their wedding day even more special."

"Please can you pass on our special thanks to our choreographer as she was superb. She created a great dance which many of our guests were very impressed with and suited the song and us totally. We would definitely recommend your services to others."

"We really enjoyed the experience and it helped us to relax and 'switch off' in the build up to the wedding. The guests absolutely loved it and I will never forget the looks on their faces (and the shrieks of support!!)"

"Our Choreographer was fantastic, we couldnt have asked for a friendlier and more competent person. She made us feel at ease immediately and provided us with a brilliant routine.

We hope we did her proud.
xxxxxxxxxxxxxx"

"The day was wonderful and the first dance was excellent - everyone commented on how lovely it was.

Many thanks"

"I would like to say that we found your service excellent. It was very easy to book with you. Our choreographer was brilliant, we found her very patient and therefore it seemed to be easier to take things in.

As for our routine, it capped the day off perfectly. Nobody would have expected us to do anything quite so flamboyant, there were a lot of shocked and smiling faces on our friends and family.

A big thankyou to you and our Choreographer for such a great service."

"The dance "Titanic" went down great guns and we now can't wait to see the video of it. Our family and friends were really surprised and Lesley & I loved every minute of it.

Can you please pass on a special thanks to our choreographer as she was great. We will definitely be recommending your service to our friends in the future. Many thanks"

"Our teacher took plenty of time and care to ensure that we got the best out of our first dance. Her patience and encouragement were greatly appreciated.

Thank You!!!"
