Lets hear from some beautiful past YFDC clients ....

**Anne-Marie provided my partner and I with the ultimate wedding dance class experience. She took the time to listen and understand our vision and helped it bring it to life. Anne-Marie is highly professional and organised! -  James 

**We are so glad we found Anne Marie in only 4 lessons she managed to teach the unteachable. We had a first dance we will remember forever. Anne Marie's bright bubbly personality and passion for dance really showed from the very first meeting, her excitement and enthusiasm is infectious and we really looked forward to our lessons (even the early morning ones).
You will not regret having your first dance co help to create a magical first dance for you. - Barton + Jess 

**Anne choreographed two amazing dances and created a matchup, made the night feel special and fun was a real highlight for the night - Freya

**Anne Marie was so lovely to work with. So appreciative for all the time and effort. We really needed some help, had no confidence whatsoever and by the time our sessions had finished, we walked out being able to put our dance together perfectly. Thank you so much for everything. Highly recommend and so glad we found you. - Casey & Matt x

FAQ

Wear something comfortable and easy to move in. Once you have had a couple of lessons it is a good idea to have one last rehearsal in the shoes you will be wearing on the big day, so you become familiar with how to move in them.

Planning a first dance can feel daunting, but the Your First Dance Co team turns nerves into a highlight. Clients consistently praise patient, easy-to-understand instruction that builds confidence, plus choreography tailored to your song and venue. The experience is relaxed, fun, and stress-free, with instructors who listen and adapt on the fly, and who will even travel to your venue. Flexible scheduling and clear communication help couples navigate postponements or last-minute changes. The result is a memorable, polished routine that feels achievable for non-dancers and becomes a cherished moment on the night. Starting a bit earlier is often advised, and the team makes planning feel approachable.

Anne-Marie is absolutely incredible at what she does. We knew from the get go that we needed help bringing our 'Saltburn - Murder on the Dance Floor' first dance to life, and Anne-Marie absolutely nailed the brief. We would have absolutely botched it if it weren't for her lessons, and she made us both feel like absolute pro's. Highly recommend to everyone. It was hands down one of the best decisions we made for our wedding.

Monty H.

Your First Dance Co

Monty, thank you so much! We love that you came in with such a fun and iconic brief, and Anne-Marie absolutely loved bringing your “Murder on the Dance Floor” vision to life with you! It’s the best feeling hearing that you both walked away feeling like pros — that’s exactly what we aim for. So glad we could be part of one of your best wedding decisions and help create a moment to remember. Wishing you both a lifetime of love, fun, and many more dance floor moments!

March 2026

Anne-Marie from Your First Dance Co was absolutely incredible. I went into our lesson extremely nervous (and with what I’d describe as two left feet 😅), but she made the whole experience feel so relaxed, fun and easy. We only had one lesson before our wedding, yet somehow Anne-Marie managed to turn that into a beautiful first dance that we actually felt confident doing on the night. She has such a calm and encouraging way of teaching and breaks everything down so simply that even the most nervous, non-dancer can do it. I wish I had convinced my husband to start a lot earlier and regularly! What I thought would be one of the most stressful parts of the wedding actually became one of the most special moments. I could not recommend Anne-Marie enough to any couple getting married , she is amazing at what she does and made our first dance something we’ll always remember. 💃🕺

Celeste R.

Your First Dance Co

Celeste, thank you so much for your kind words! 💛 Anne-Marie has such a special way of turning nerves into confidence, and we’re so glad you felt relaxed, supported, and actually enjoyed your first dance. The fact that you created something so meaningful in just one lesson is incredible (and a credit to you as well!). We love hearing that what felt like a stressful part of the wedding became one of your most special moments — that’s exactly what we hope for every couple. Wishing you and your husband a lifetime of love, laughter, and many more dances together!

March 2026

Was an absolute breeze working with Steph, nothing was ever too much trouble and she new exactly what we wanted for our first dance on our wedding day. Would recommend Your First Dance Co to anyone wanting to have lessons for your wedding or any other thing related to dance. Anne Marie is an absolute champion and does everything she can to help in anyway she can. So glad we choose to do lessons and so glad we went with these guys

Jessica W.

Your First Dance Co

Jessica, thank you so much for this lovely feedback! We’re so glad working with Steph felt like such a breeze — she really does go above and beyond to make the whole experience easy and enjoyable. It’s wonderful to hear she brought your vision for your first dance to life so perfectly. And your kind words about Anne-Marie mean the world — she truly is dedicated to making sure every couple feels supported every step of the way. We’re so happy you chose to have lessons with us and that it became such a positive part of your wedding journey. Wishing you both a lifetime of happiness (and plenty more dancing together!)

April 2026

We used YFDC for our wedding dance and we are so glad we did!! We didn't want to awkwardly sway for our first dance so we decided we needed help! Right from the start Anne Marie was so warm and welcoming and made everything easy! Our teacher Steph helped us create a beautiful dance that wowed our guests and ourselves. Not only great Choreography but also tips on how to clean up what we were doing and little suggestions that made things easier. Anne Marie did our final lesson with us at our venue and she was awesome. So glad we could get a feel for the space, definitely made the day less daunting. Couldn't recommend YFDC enough for amazing first dances!!

Penny S.

Your First Dance Co

Penny, thank you so much for this beautiful review! We love that you made the call to skip the awkward sway — such a great decision! It’s so lovely to hear that Anne-Marie made you feel comfortable from the very beginning and that Steph helped bring your dance together in a way that felt both polished and natural. Those little tips and refinements really do make all the difference, and we’re so glad your dance wowed not only your guests but you as well — that’s the best outcome! Having that final lesson in your venue is always such a special touch, so it’s great to hear it helped you feel more relaxed and prepared for the big moment. Thank you again for your kind words — we’re so happy to have been part of your wedding journey. Wishing you both a lifetime of love and plenty more dancing together!

We cannot say enough positive things about our experience with Iryna as our wedding 'first dance' teacher at ‘Your First Dance co’. From the moment we walked in for our first lesson, she showed nothing but patience and attentiveness. She took the time to listen to all of our questions and ideas, incorporating them seamlessly into the choreography. Not only did Iryna make our dance lessons incredibly fun, she also made the entire experience stress free. She was able to break down the steps in a way that was easy for us to understand and execute. We looked forward to our lessons each week, knowing that we would leave feeling more confident and prepared for our big day. When it came time to perform our dance in front of all our friends and family, we were beyond thrilled with the final result. Our dance was a highlight of the evening and we owe it all to ‘Your First Dance Co’. We cannot recommend them enough to any couples looking to make their first dance truly unique and unforgettable. Thank you for everything!

Lillian T.

Your First Dance Co

Knowing that your first dance was a highlight of the evening means the world to us. Thank you for recommending us to other couples and for allowing us to be a part of such a special moment in your lives. Congratulations once again, and we wish you all the best in your journey together!

Your First Dance Co

If this is about hens & bucks enquiries coming through Easy Weddings, it’s actually very common — and reasonable — for couples (or friends/family) to ask about hens/bucks even if they’re pregnant, older, shy, or not into the “wild” stereotype.

From a YFDC point of view:

  • ?? Hens & bucks don’t have to be physical, raunchy, or high-impact
  • ?? Pregnant participants can absolutely be accommodated (low-impact, chair options, fun choreography, confidence-based movement)
  • ?? Easy Weddings couples often don’t know what’s possible — asking questions is normal
  • ?? Education is part of the enquiry process, not a burden

You are not wrong for:

  • Offering inclusive options
  • Redirecting them to suitable packages
  • Explaining modifications
  • Suggesting alternatives (burlesque-lite, chair dance, musical theatre, confidence movement, fun group routines)

What are some sober activities

Your First Dance Co

?? Sober Activity Ideas for Hens & Bucks Parties?? 1. Dance Class Party

A signature activity at Your First Dance Co!

  • Learn fun choreography together
  • Choose from styles like jazz, hip hop, Broadway, Contemporary or burlesque-style movement
  • Low-impact options available for all fitness levels
    Perfect for group fun, laughter, and confidence boosting.

?? 2. Themed Movement Workshop

Choose a theme that suits your group:

  • Cabaret or musical theatre
  • Broadway favourites
  • Throwback dance party (80s, 90s, 2000s)
    Fun, energetic, and keeps the focus on movement and music.

?? 3. Dance + Photoshoot Session

  • After your dance class, capture the moment with a mini photoshoot
  • Props and themed setups
  • Great way to create keepsake memories together

?? 4. Creative Workshops

Try something hands-on and social:

  • DIY flower crowns
  • Hen party craft session
  • Bridal accessory craft

Pairs beautifully with a dance lesson for a full afternoon of creativity.

?? 5. Dance Games & Challenges

Fun group games like:

  • Freeze dance battles
  • Dance tag
  • Choreography roulette
    Games keep the energy high and everyone involved.

?? 6. High Tea or Dessert & Chats

  • Book a cozy high tea or sweet treat stop after your activity
  • Ideal for groups who want time to connect and relax

?? 7. Wellness & Stretch Session

Perfect for all ages and fitness levels:

  • Guided stretch & mobility class
  • Gentle conditioning
  • Mind-body focus — great for pregnancy-friendly groups

?? 8. Dance History & Music Quiz Night

A relaxed group activity that’s all fun:

  • Dance or music trivia
  • Fun facts, laughter, and friendly competition

Host a private dance-themed movie or performance screening — great with popcorn and laughs.
