Dance Company will be closed until Monday 12th of August. Its time for my annual holiday to somewhere warm. Do send me an email if you are interested in any of the teaching options I have available. While I’m away I may not be able to respond to phone calls. LOOKING FOR ADVICE FOR YOUR WEDDING DANCE? While every couple will have some specific questions below are two of the more common ones: HOW MUCH TIME DO WE NEED TO PUT IN? This depends on what exactly you want your first dance to be. If you want something that’s fairly formal, or with complicated moves or plan a very slick performance, you ..read more

I receive lovely comments from the Wedding Couples I work with: “Just wanted to let you know we pulled our dance off brilliantly! The guests were incredibly impressed that we’d been to dance lessons and couldn’t believe my husband picked it up so easily! We had a lot of fun and were so proud we nailed it! Thanks so much for your choreography and positive teaching.” L&C “The wedding was amazing and we surprised everyone with our dance. They all absolutely loved it and were so impressed!  Thank you for your patience and crafting a dance that suited us, you really made learning eas ..read more

Its been a very busy month for Dance Company. I’ve had the honor to work with 5 couples who got married in January using some diverse music choices. The music you choose to dance to needs to reflect who you are as people and what song you both like. The choreography and teaching of steps is what I do as a dance coach. So meet A&E: Just wanted to say a big thank you to all your help teaching me how to dance (and E. how not to step on my feet). The dance was my favorite part of organizing the wedding by far and was a big hit.  In February I will be hosting another 6 week beginners gr ..read more

Looking for just a little help for your first dance? Not every couple wants a fully choreographed wedding routine. You might just want a few moves and variations that you can use both at your big day or at any other social occasion when dancing might happen. Just like Alice and Jamie. In Jamie’s case dancing in public, even in front of friends and family, was something he really wasn’t looking forward to. So he came to a few lessons by himself, not to learn a routine or steps, but to gain enough confidence so he could take Alice out on the floor. They said “it went well and as you know it was ..read more

It been such a joy to return to teaching formation teams, after some time away due to the pandemic. Last month Dance Company took a 9 couple dance team “Imagine” to the Inter-studio Dancesport competition in Tamahere. All these dancers are masters which means they are over 30. I have choreographed many formation teams over the years that have competed successfully all over New Zealand. Teams are a great way to meet more people in the local Dance Family, get really good at some complex moves, get fantastic at timing and learn another way to style your dancing along the way. This Team music was ..read more
