What is your most memorable wedding?
Debbie & Angela's Civil Partnership - 2 lovely crazy girls Rocking and Rolling!
Describe your style in 5 adjectives.
Fun, patient, experienced, encouraging, creative
What about your business are you most proud of?
In 20 years of teaching, we have never had anyone that didn't manage to learn eventually - people take different times to learn to dance, but with enough practice and encouragement anyone can master it
What is your No.1 wedding planning tip for couples?
Plan your day for what you yourselves want, not for what other people want
What is your favourite personal touch you have seen at a wedding?
A 'Marryoke' - all the guests taking part in a video'd singalong & dancealong - fab!
Describe your typical process with a couple.
The first dance is usually the last official duty of a long, emotional and very tiring day, so my philosophy is to keep to something simple and elegant rather than going for all the tricks and not pulling it off. I usually give you a beginning, a fancy ending and a fairly flexible middle bit, so if you start a bit late or have a bit of a mental block during the dance, you can always get it back on track (a bit like the emergency stop in driving lessons - you hope you'll never need it, but good to have just in case!) You'll get a tailored step-set to suit your music, but we also spend little time on recovering from going slightly wrong so your guests won't ever know!
What is your No.1 top tip for keeping a crowd entertained?
Plenty of humour and interaction, but without putting anyone down
Where is the most memorable place you have performed?
Giving a demonstration and Jive group lesson to the Morris Dancing Federation's AGM - quite surreal!
Have you had any interesting surprises at a wedding?
My usual issue is how to talk to other guests without letting on how I know the bride and groom - most couples don't tell anyone they've been having dance lessons - so I've got quite good at evasive answers and strategic withdrawals to other rooms!
What is your party trick?
That would be telling!!!
