FAQ

The First offers packages in the form of 4, 5 or 6 lessons. The number of lessons will depend on each individual couple! Get in touch to have a chat about what we recommend for you and your partner.

Whichever way you choose to go, we work together on a weekly or fortnightly basis to have your choreographed routine up to scratch, so you feel comfortable and ready for the dance on your special day. 

We recommend no longer than 3 minutes for your first dance. Most songs are around this length or can be faded out effectively at 3 minutes. We also offer complimentary music editing for those that might need a little more attention. 

We recommend the following as a guide;

3 months prior to wedding day:

  • 6 pack, fortnightly lessons (Did somebody say Date Night?)

2 months prior to wedding day:

  • 4 or 5 pack fortnightly lessons

1 month prior to wedding day:

  • 4 or 5 pack, weekly lessons

Absolutely not! We specialise in teaching simple, easy to follow dance moves that will have you feeling confident, comfortable and looking fabulous, ready for your wedding day. 

Something easy to move in, preferably stretchy and definitely comfortable. Ladies, bring your heels along with you, however we won't wear them until the later lessons of your package so that you can concentrate fully on the choreography primarily.

Similarly, if you have a similar length skirt or dress to your wedding dress, it's worth wearing that in the later lessons to get a feel for what the choreography is like in that length of dress.

Chanelle is the most incredibly talented dancer and the most patient teacher! My wife and I absolutely loved every part of our experience from day one. We were not dancers to begin with and stood on each others toes many times, however with Chanelle’s positive influence we impressed everyone at the wedding, even managing a lift or two! We ABSOLUTELY recommend learning your first dance with Chanelle!

Just WOW. Chanelle was absolutely amazing to work with! We are so happy we we got to share such a memorable experience together. Chanelle, THANK YOU for your professionalism, your amazing teaching skills, your beautiful choreography which truly embodied “us” and all the extra time you put in to turn us into amateur dancers. The cherry on top is just how beautiful you are inside and out. Highly recommend!

Chanelle is such a beautiful person and an incredible dance teacher! My husband and I made the decision to hire a first dance teacher as we both have left feet and didn’t have the first clue about what to do for our first dance in-front of 160 of our friends and family. Chanelle came in and taught us a dance to one of our favourite songs, as well as a more simple dance for our father/daughter and mother/son dance with our parents. By the end of our handful of lessons, we were confident going into the wedding and dancing in-front of a crowd. Would highly recommend Chanelle if you are thinking about doing a first dance. We had so many compliments afterwards about how beautiful our dance was and people saying they didn’t know we could dance! Thanks Chanelle xx

Chanelle turned our dance dreams into reality with choreography that was just what we wanted! She made every lesson easy to follow and a whole lot of fun. Learning with her was an absolute joy. We highly recommend Chanelle if you're looking to make your dance moves shine on your big day!

If you’re looking for a sign to do dance lessons for your wedding, this is it! Chanelle from The First is the most beautiful soul and has so much love for what she does which comes through in the way she teaches you and the dance she puts together for you. We both have two left feet and were so nervous about the idea of dancing in front of 200 of our family and friends but Chanelle wiped away all those fears and the dance we learnt felt so us! Not just that, we genuinely had SO much fun each week with her - it was like three besties having a date night! Wish we could do it all again ❤️
