What We Do

Personalised wedding first dance classes - designed just for you.

At The Dance we help couples feel relaxed, confident and excited for their first dance -no dance experience necessary. We offer dance classes tailor-made to you, that take a fun, no pressure, shared approach, helping you to feel confident and ready for a first dance that feels exactly you.

Whether you’re looking for a romantic, simple intimate moment or a show-stopping choreographed number that could have come straight from the stage - we have lesson packages to suit your needs. We create choreography tailored to your song, style and ability to make sure you feel as comfortable as possible and banish any nerves and awkwardness

We offer a pressure free environment, where you can move at a pace that feels most comfortable for you with classes designed to guide you step by step no matter your skill level or dance experience. With that in mind, we come to you and teach in the comfort and privacy of your own home - though in studio classes can be arranged for a small extra cost. We can work flexibly around busy working and wedding planning schedules with evening and weekend lesson times. By the end of our time together you will leave feeling confident, at ease and looking your very best on the dance floor.

The Dance was Founded by West End choreographer and Movement Director, Chi-San Howard with a decade of industry experience working with all abilities. So whether you’re a complete beginner, a long time lover of the dance floor or anywhere in-between, we’ll make sure that you feel confident, natural and prepared to shine for your first dance.

She is the choreographer on the multi-Olivier Award winning musical, The Curious Case of Benjamin Button.

In her work as both Movement Director and Choreographer, Chi-San specialises in working with those with no dance experience at all, providing clear, non judgemental guidance that is gentle, encouraging, warm and full of humour. Chi-San believes that every couple should have a first dance that is as special and joyful as the couple themselves. She also understands how nerve-wracking getting up and dancing in front of any kind of audience can be. She feels deeply that every body and every person should feel their best on the dance floor and so works hard with you to make sure you have the perfect dance to match your perfect day.
