First Dance Wellington

First Dance Wellington is a vibrant dance school located in the heart of Wellington, New Zealand. Our mission is to help couples approach their first dance with ease, joy, and fun! We believe that a custom first dance, tailored to your vision, becomes much more than a few steps strung together. It is an opportunity to be present together, to communicate, and to work on a challenge as a team.

Our goal is to create opportunities to spread the joy and transformative power of dance, inspiring and energising couples to make their special moments even more memorable.

At First Dance Wellington, we understand that a first dance can often be an afterthought or a source of stress. That's why we are dedicated to making it an enjoyable experience for every couple. Each package we offer includes a complimentary consultation, where we take the time to understand your ideal first dance. During this consultation, we determine the style, level of difficulty, song, and overall feeling you envision for your dance.

Armed with this information, we can create choreography that will exceed your expectations.

Our wedding packages cater to weddings of all sizes, ensuring we have a package that suits your needs. Whether you have only a few hours to spare or want to invest more time in perfecting your dance, we have you covered. Our Small Dance Package is perfect for those on a time crunch, offering simplicity and confidence on the dance floor in as little as an hour. The Medium Dance Package provides a bit more time and polish for beginners or those looking to explore more complex choreography.

For couples who want a more personal and intricate first dance, our Large Dance Package offers a laid-back experience with ample practise time.

In addition to our in-person lessons, we offer online tutorials that allow you to work at your own pace. This option is perfect for those located outside of Wellington or for those who prefer the comfort of learning from home. Our online tutorials can be custom-tailored to your needs, with the option for personalised feedback.
