This one’s a biggie. When you’re thinking about your steps, it’s easy to slip into what we call the concentration face.
Instead, practise looking calm, happy and in love — just like you’ll feel on the day.

Why? Because we want every couple to see that anyone can learn to dance. By having both perspectives in the room we create a fun, relaxed environment where learning feels natural and achievable.

I’m Sally, the owner of Simply First Dance, and together with my wonderful husband Isaac, we recently hosted a magical First Dance Experience evening at the stunning Hawkstone Hall in Shropshire. At every Simply First Dance event, we teach as a duo — one trained dancer (that’s me!) and one who’s… well, not so trained (that’s Isaac!).
