Wedding Dance Lessons
To complete your perfect day…
Why not have the perfect first dance.
From brand new beginners with two left feet, to more experienced dancers, Stefan can choreograph a first dance to suit your dance experience and style for your chosen song.
If you prefer not to have a choreographed dance routine, we can teach you a wide range of dance moves so you can improvise the dance on the day.
Don’t leave it to the last minute, contact Stefan now to assist you with your special day.
Choreographed & non choreographed dances
Choreographed Dance:
We breakdown your chosen song into parts, allowing us to suit moves to each part of the dance e.g. lyrics or other musical parts. Our choreography is designed to be flexible on it’s timing, allowing you to relax and enjoy the music. As we are developing your dance, you of course have the option to change parts of the dance to better suit your style and preference.
Near the end of each lesson we include a brief written & video demonstration of the moves you have learnt. This to assists you to learn faster and help you both practice at home
Our recommendation for couples new to dancing is to have both Stefan and Joanna present for lessons. This can assist people who are visual learners to learn your dance at a faster pace as we can partner swap. We can also alternate between having both of us and just Stefan (who can lead or follow)
We do charge slightly more per lesson, as this covers our time to develop the dance & our additional practice time prior to your lesson
Non Choreographed Dance:
This is a great option for people who want to look great on the dance floor, but not have an exact choreographed dance to memorise. During the lessons Stefan will demonstrate a range of moves that you can select to learn for your first dance. He can also help you link them up together or you can choose your own way of putting them together into a sequence (if needed). This allows you the flexibility to develop the dance yourself or improvise on the day.
Near the end of each lesson we include a brief written & video demonstration of the moves you have learnt. This to assists you to learn faster and help you both practice at home
Additional information
Prior to your first lesson - we have short phone consultation to establish your needs, discuss details about your special day, establish your dancing experience and answer any questions that you may have (no charge for this)
Most couples generally have between 4-8 lessons depending on their dancing ability or how long your song is, but we are happy to provide more or less to suit your needs
Lessons are held at our home located in central Nelson

“Stefan and Joanna did an amazing job teaching my wife and I our first dance for our wedding! They were patient, professional and fun. We both highly recommend these guys for all your dancing needs! My wife and I will be continuing to dance with Inspire in the new year 💃😀”
“We approached Stefan to help us to develop our wedding dance. Rather than tell us what to do Stefan asked us to think about what moves we wanted, so the dance could represent us not him. Once we had roughed out our sequence Stefan and Jo then worked with us to refine it and develop a flowing arrangement, to incorporate a few highlights and polish the styling. The result was something that we owned, were comfortable with and enjoyed performing.
Our heartfelt thanks to Stefan and Jo for guiding us, rather than instructing us.”
