First Dance Tuition with John & Amanda

Create a first dance that feels natural, confident and unforgettable

 

Whether you’re dreaming of something classic, playful, vintage-inspired or simply romantic, we’ll help you create a first dance that feels authentic and effortless.

Personalised First Dance Tuition

Every first dance is completely tailored to you — your song, your style, and your comfort level.
We create short, elegant choreography that feels natural to dance, looks beautiful on the day, and photographs beautifully.

First Dance Without Feeling Awkward

Lessons are taught step by step, at a pace that suits you, even if you’ve never danced before.

A Relaxed, Supportive Way to Learn

Lessons take place in our calm home studio in Launceston, Cornwall, with a dedicated dancefloor for practice and filming.
Our teaching style is friendly and encouraging, helping even nervous couples feel comfortable and supported from the very first session.

Alongside the choreography, we guide you on posture, connection and performance, so you feel confident when all eyes are on you — without anything feeling forced or over-rehearsed.

Experience You Can Trust

Tuition is led by Amanda, with her and John’s experience in Lindy-hop, Salsa and Blues, and over 15 years of partnered dance experience together.

You’re not just learning steps — you’re being gently coached to move together, relax into the music, and enjoy the moment you’re sharing.
