Psst.. it's ok! You can have a first dance withou Psst.. it's ok! You can have a first dance without all the focus being on you. Want to know how? Take a note from Erik & Emma's winter wedding reception at @bodleianlibraryweddings . I've got more wonderful pictures of me in action, to share from @weddingsbynicolaandglen . This first photo is my favourite - I got a dance with the bride! Accompanied by the incredible @thejesusfourquartet, their guests had a waltz lesson with me at the wedding reception (with my Britney style mic) to get the dance floor started. There wasn't a 'traditional' first dance in sight from bride and groom. What better way to get everyone up, socialising, laughing and just giving the bride and groom all the love, supporting incredible memories that will last a lifetime. It also meant no preparation was needed in advance for the bride to have a father-daughter dance, and for the groom to have a dance with his mother too. So special, and so grateful to have this opportunity.

Busy day of teaching Dance and Pilates classes and Busy day of teaching Dance and Pilates classes and some admin in between! Tiny break sitting in the sun waiting for my studio to open - snacking on my nuts 🤩🥜 with dark chocolate (the least naught choc!), 🍫 and drinking GreenSynergy Elixir to keep the energy going 🌱. Perfect for the NY detox / gut cleanse, I’ve regularly been taking GreenSynergy Elixir from B corporation Arbonne - it has definitely improved my skin and hair!! Tried to capture that in a pic 🤩💪🏼💃🏽 ✨Supergreens x13 ✨Collagen builder ✨Pre and pro biotics It’s just genius. So easy to knock back each day and easy to travel with when I’m on the go - especially when I can’t get time to always cook from scratch (but not a substitute for the whole food cooking lol!). Love it! Highly recommend. LMK if you want more info! #GutCleanse #NewYearDetox
Happy new year! Is 2025 your year to say ‘I do’??? If first dance lessons are on your 2025 wedding planning agenda, get ahead and start planning your first dance well in advance. I recommend no less than 6 months ahead of the big day. You can go big…or go small(!) like E&J. Here’s what they said about their experience with The Love Of Dance: “Alison helped us prepare for our first dance at our wedding - we only booked a 3hr package as we didn’t want something too formal or heavily choreographed and we were tight on time, but just wanted to feel more confident dancing in front of others on the day. Alison was brilliant and got exactly what we wanted, and we ended up with a beautiful short dance that we loved and felt comfortable with. My dress restricted my arms quite a bit and she fully adapted everything to work with that. Thank you Alison! Would absolutely recommend.” Book a consultation with me via the link in the b!0 to get started! 💃🏽🕺🏿✨ #FirstDanceLessons #Wedding2025 #Wedding2026 #WeddingDanceLessons #TheLoveOfDance
Still processing the magic that happened last week Still processing the magic that happened last weekend at E&E's wedding. So grateful for the opportunity to teach Waltz at their stunning winter (and windy, thanks to #StormDarragh ) wedding at @bodleianlibraryweddings! E&E's guests embraced their inner ballroom pros and got fully involved! The couple had a first waltz lesson with me in the Summer on a sunny day in their garden but were adamant they didn't want an 'all eyes on them' first dance. What a glorious way to give a nod to a dance floor moment, by sharing the load with the guests...who were also given the chance to learn a few moves, accompanied by @thejesusfourquartet. So beautiful to have the live music, just to make the evening feel like something out of an epic move scene. Thanks to @weddingsbynicolaandglen for sharing their first glance pics.

💃🏽Your first dance, your way!🕺🏾 Every 💃🏽Your first dance, your way!🕺🏾 Every year I teach I understand more about what makes a successful first dance journey for my wedding planning couples: 💃🏽I adapt my process for each couple; 🕺🏾the choreo is tailored and tweaked as we go, to suit their personalities, or we talk about what bits they do/don’t like; and 💍 I give mindset support to prep them for the dancefloor. I love it when my more introvert clients suddenly unleash their dancefloor alter ego that they didn’t realise they had within them! I clock it, tell them I’ve spotted it - quite often they then make a point of bringing their alter ego to every lesson 🤪🤩💃🏽🕺🏾. Of course I don’t force anything but sometimes we just need a little permission and encouragement to just Let It Flowwww!!! Sometimes they find themselves asking to add in a move - effectively becoming choreographers themselves - and I’m like ’bring it onnn’! I’m not precious about my choreo as I want them to be comfortable and proud of their routine. Just love the ever evolving journey with each unique couple, to support them with a learning process and a first dance that works for them💜 P.s. don’t forget to start learning your first dance well in advance of your wedding - it takes time to learn a first dance that you can confidently and calmly share on your wedding day x 📸 Hazel & Rich @dm_photographyuk at @cainmanor . . . . .

Just look at the joy. 💃🏽 🕺🏾 @paulnel Just look at the joy. 💃🏽 🕺🏾 @paulnelsonweddings beautifully captured Sarah & Carl’s #firstweddingdance and I couldn’t be more grateful for their permission to share these moments with you. They danced to Fly Me to the Moon by Frank. Think it sums this scene up perfectly. Here’s what they said: 💜 “We adored our dancing lessons with Alison. My husband was initially reticent to take classes and he was very much “doing it for me” when we started, but he loved it! Alison was easy to be around, friendly and a great teacher so he felt immediately at ease and could have fun with it. The sessions felt informal and casual which really helped set the tone. We had 6 classes and by the end of it, we felt like we had the routine in a place that we felt confident and comfortable with. It made the start of our evening do feel extra special for the wedding and we cannot recommend taking classes with Alison enough. If you have got as far as reading the reviews – sign up because it is totally worth the price and the time to have such a lovely way to spend a few hours together preparing for the wedding that doesn’t involve a spreadsheet – and is something that will last a lifetime too. We both learnt so much and had such a lovely time during the lessons – we want to take on some more ballroom classes. Learning to dance has been a skill for life not just for the wedding. We will be cracking out the moves for years to come.“ Sarah #firstdance #weddingplanning #firstdancesong #weddinginspo #weddinginspiration #firstdancejoy #thefirstdanceoftherestofyourlives #fortheloveofdance
