The #FirstDance of the Rest of Your Lives
Can I just give a moment to these wonderfully tale Can I just give a moment to these wonderfully talented wedding suppliers who shared the space at the stunning Oxfordshire venue @milton_hill_house_weddings wedding show yesterday organised by @guidesforbrides ! Thank you @robyven72 for our perfect bouquets with @pitchperfectceremonies @the.booth.fairy (my mum was especially happy to receive some flowers in return for her babysitting - and my daughter posed for the rest of the day princess style with hers 🤩) Great to see and meet: @cupcakebakeoff @thenickygeorge @charltonparkgardencentre @bicesterbridal @deansevents @nick_baskerville_photography @matthewellacottphotography @samandstevephotography @lovers_rock_diamonds (I didn’t get to say hi!) @mattpattphoto @magicalmemoriesphotobooths @suits_newbury #firstweddingdance #firstdance #fortheloveofdance #firstdancesong #firstdancelessons #weddinginspiration #weddingdancelessons #weddingplanning #weddingplanninguk #oxfordshirewedding #oxfordshireweddingvenue #oxfordshireweddingsuppliers
💃🏽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

Christmas is done - but there’s so much to look Christmas is done - but there’s so much to look forward to! Maybe you’ve been putting wedding 2024 or 2025 planning on hold…or maybe you’ve just got engaged (Congratulations if so!) and have got a new focus for the year, getting ideas together! So let’s get the evening party plans started for you, and talk through your first wedding dance - see b - i - o to book a meeting with me 💃🏽🕺🏿🥂 Don’t forget I do hen dance parties too - the ladies I’ve taught have been known to BECOME the evening entertainment as they whip out their hen dance moves during the evening flash mob style. These hen dance parties are a perfect activity for getting the hen crew bonding before the wedding through learning a cute dance routine - burlesque, Beyoncé mash ups, 80s dance party - you name your music jam, we’ve got something for everyone! You could even get the whole bridal party involved in the first dance sending them a video of an easy-to-learn routine in advance if it’s hard to get you all together that they join in with. I’ve got so many ideas so let’s chat! #engaged #proposal #weddingproposal #wereengaged #weddingplanning #weddingplanner #wedding2024 #wedding2025 #bridetobe #weddinginspiration #weddinginspo #henparty #henpartyplanning #firstweddingdance #firstdance #weddingdance #weddingdancelessons #firstdancesong #fortheloveofdance
Happy new year! I seem to end up spending NYE with Happy new year! I seem to end up spending NYE with this one - one of my dearest oldest friends who I met when we were teaching at stagecoach (me dance and she was teaching singing) c. TWENTY YEARS AGO!! And now I’m so proud of her with her own Stagecoach franchises @stagecoachchorleywoodricki , which I help manage when she needs a helping hand. Here’s to many more NYE’s with you @redheadedrainbow and so excited for what’s to come 💃🏽💃🏼 (sorry they didn’t have any red headed dancer emojis!) x
Wishing you a very merry Christmas and a peaceful, Wishing you a very merry Christmas and a peaceful, healthy and bright new year! Hope I can support you if you are jumping on the wedding planning next year with your fitness and health or first dance goals - I'm sure you will be getting seriously focussed, but for now, switch off from the strategy mode and get into festive, cosy and calm mode! 💃 💪 🕺🕊🎄 Peace and love x (this is a scheduled post 😉 )

“I didn't know I could dance - noone had never s “I didn't know I could dance - noone had never shown me how..." I hear this so often at the end of the first dance process. If you think you can't dance, if you've never had the opportunity or reason to learn to dance, why would your bodies automatically know how to dance?! You might love dancing like a wildchild at a rave (?!) but might feel out of your depth when you have to try a 'social partner' dance - moving wtih someone in a foxtrot, salsa or jive might just feel weird and majorly awkward. I break down the basic steps of the style of dance that will suit your first dance song, so you learn the true technique of the style - you'll have this gorgeous skill for the rest of your lives together. AND if performing the dance in front of your guests feels weird, I'll help you with techniques to calm your nerves and to improve your confidence - and this can go beyond the dance floor, as the practice of working on posture and, yep - a little bit of fitness in my sessions - can make. you feel great for every part of the eyes on you moments of your wedding from the moment you walk down the aisle through the rest of the day.
