Meet your First Dance Coach
With over a decade of international performance experience across theatre, TV & film and outdoor productions, I bring a unique level of expertise to every first dance lesson. My professional credits include Netflix, Glyndebourne Opera and The Commonwealth Games Closing Ceremony.
But what matters most to couples is not where I’ve performed — it’s how I teach.
Over the years, I’ve worked with dancers at every level, including complete beginners who have never stepped onto a dance floor before. My coaching style is calm, modern and supportive — designed to help couples feel relaxed, confident, and genuinely excited about their first dance.
I created this service because I know how overwhelming wedding planning can feel, and how often couples worry about looking awkward or not knowing where to start. My goal is simple: to make your first dance one of the most enjoyable and memorable parts of your wedding journey.
