About Us
If you’re planning your wedding, let us take the stress out of your First Dance with private dance lessons, giving you confidence your wedding dance will be one of the highlights of your special day.
Private wedding dance lessons in your own home or at our studio in the Inner North
No previous dance experience required
Learn how to comfortably lead and follow to your style of music, or choose to have a routine fully choreographed to your choice of song
Our First Dance lessons are perfect for couples who wish to dance with confidence and style! Our experienced, professional and friendly choreographers will create a First Dance that suits a song of your choice, as well as your natural style and ability, so you can feel confident even if you’ve never danced before!
As well as Private Lessons, we also have a Wedding Essentials Group Class and offer creative dance classes to preschoolers at First Dance Kids!
In 2025 we introduce a 4 week First Dance crash course group class too! The next one will be held in March.
LGBT Friendly!
What our students say about us
‘We only had a few lessons, but with our great teacher who was so encouraging and fun, we were able to build our confidence and pull off a beautiful dance! We really liked being able to have the classes wherever suited us best!’ - Jessica and Shaun danced a salsa to ‘time of my life’ from dirty dancing
‘We had 10 fabulous lessons with First Dance Melbourne in preparation for our wedding dance, which had elements of both the foxtrot (much harder than it looks!) and the Rumba. The finished product was elegant and fun to perform, and surprised all of our guests. They especially loved the dips!’ - Meg and Tim danced to ‘breathless’ by nick cave
‘Thank you Jo for being so patient and wonderful with coaching us for our wedding dances! You made the steps easy to learn, non-confronting and we thoroughly enjoyed the lessons so much we came back for more (and did our Latin Bronze medals) ’ - Peter and Charmaine danced a Rumba to ‘finally found someone’ and a jive to ‘candyman’
‘My now husband and I would like to thank our lovely dance teacher Jo from the bottom of our hearts for preparing our first dance as husband and wife on Saturday. Jo was super fun, relaxed and patient with us throughout the whole process. All of our family, friends and guests loved the dance, commented on how fantastic we looked, how awesome our dance moves were and most importantly we couldn't take the smile off of our faces throughout the entire dance - we had so much fun doing it! Thank you Jo for your making this moment so special and memorable.’ - Kandace and Chris danced to ‘only you can love me this way’ byKeith Urban
