Wedding Dance

But the thought of that first dance in front of all your guests can feel a little scary – which is where we can help. Our goal is to make you feel comfortable and confident on the dance floor, whether you want simple steps, classy elegance or a glitzy extravaganza.
Nick’s Dance School has a growing reputation for creating memorable wedding dance choreography. We teach couples from beginner to advanced how to feel confident when dancing their first dance together as a newly married couple.

We also teach father-daughter and mother-son dances.

“Terri is just simply amazing. She choreographed a dance for my wedding to a song of our choice and she was really patient with both myself and other half. We did classes every other week and she made sure to record the classes for us to practise at home as well. It really added the wow factor to our wedding but also was an enjoyable time for us both learning the dance. Would really recommend.” – Shivali
