How Will You Remember Your Wedding Dance?  

  • Are you getting married soon?
  • Have you got more than 2 left feet between both of you?
  • Do you want to feel confident about your opening dance?
  • Do you want to go beyond the infamous "wedding shuffle"?
  • Don’t have the time to get involved in lengthy courses?
  • Don't want to get tied into studio contracts and made to buy more classes than you probably need?
Whether you want a basic slow dance, something energetic or something in-between to open the floor, I will work one-on-one with you and you partner to make your opening dance a reflection of your personalities and song choice. I can also recommend suitable wedding dance songs and dance styles and choreograph to special requests. 

If you are undecided as to a song choice and/or dance style, I’ll happily go through some popular ideas with you and make recommendations.

Contact John for more info on packages, availability and bookings.


Another popular option amongst wedding couples is to do my Beginner Survival Dance Courses. This introduces you to a few of the most popular social dance styles and may spark a particualr interest for your wedding dance. I find that couples who do a beginner group course first have a better idea of what they want for their wedding dance and are able to pick up any choreography a lot quicker. NEXT Course starts Monday 6th May 2013 at 19h00 in Newlands.

Hello John
Daniele and I want to thank you for the dance lessons you gave us for our first dance on our wedding day. Our entire experience with you has been superb and the dance you choreographed for us went down so well with our guests that they are still talking about it as the highlight of our wedding! We felt fantastic, we looked fantastic and best of all....we had FUN! Thank you for teaching us so well. Your talent in selecting dance moves that were right for us, and your ability to switch teaching so quickly
from my steps to Daniele's steps, was impressive and we felt extremely comfortable with you. You always made time for us with our hectic schedules leading up to the wedding and because of you, we want to learn to dance on an on-going basis.
You have the perfect balance of creativity, flair, professionalism
and fun. We would highly recommend you to any couple who wants to learn dance.

Thank you for playing a part in our wedding preparation and for giving us such a wonderful memory of our day.


Kind Regards,



- Wendy and Daniele

WE BLEW THEM ALL AWAY!!!!! It was awesome! Everybody was amazed with the routine! According to them we were better than the “Die Nutsman” No one knew we were going for lessons, so it was a great surprise for everyone and they truly enjoyed it. I can’t thank you enough John!

"John spent a lot of time with us helping us to choose a song that suited our level of experience (none!) and our personalities. He then choreographed a dance for us and it ended up looking really good on the night! I would really recommend the lessons - not only does it give you confidence for the dance, but it was a really great experience for the two of us which we enjoyed immensely!" 



- Bern and Michelle

Dear John,
Everyone LOVED our dance! Even the DJ said afterwards it was the best dance he has ever seen at a wedding. Just after we finished the dance he said on his mic, "James and Sarah will definitely NOT be voted off tonight!”


Thanks again! - James and Sarah
