The Love Of Dance

We adored our dancing lessons with Alison. My husband was initially reticent to take classes and he was very much “doing it for me” when we started, but he loved it! Alison was easy to be around, friendly and a great teacher so he felt immediately at ease and could have fun with it. The sessions felt informal and casual which really helped set the tone. We had 6 classes and by the end of it, we felt like we had the routine in a place that we felt confident and comfortable with. It made the start of our evening do feel extra special for the wedding and we cannot recommend taking classes with Alison enough. If you have got as far as reading the reviews – sign up because it is totally worth the price and the time to have such a lovely way to spend a few hours together preparing for the wedding that doesn’t involve a spreadsheet – and is something that will last a lifetime too. We both learnt so much and had such a lovely time during the lessons – we want to take on some more ballroom classes. Learning to dance has been a skill for life not just for the wedding. We will be cracking out the moves for years to come.

Patient, personable, lovely choreography appropriate to our level. Alison successfully helped us have a lovely first dance and I even enjoyed learning. Highly recommended.

We had a great time for our dance class with Alison, she was very patient when we kept getting it wrong! We only had one class prior to our wedding, but still felt more confident about getting on the dance floor on the big day! Would highly recommend her.

Toward the end of our wedding planning, it became clear that my husband and I were in desperate need of dance lessons. Fortunately, Alison had come highly recommended by our wedding planner and was able to schedule us in at the last minute! Not only was she accommodating with a very large time difference (we are in America), but she was able to offer the instructions via Zoom so we could begin virtually. From the beginning, Alison was patient, knowledgeable and professional. [...]

“Thank you for a wonderful time on my hen do. Think I can safely say everyone had a ball, even though we were slightly trepidatious to begin with youmanaged to get us engaged in remembering our steps and really enjoying ourselves. […] Much fun, laughter, and feathers were had by all!! Thoroughly recommend you as a great dance teacher.”

“The dust is still settling over the last two weekends, and at last gives me a chance to thank you properly for the great job you did at my party. I’ve had loads of people giving compliments about your session.”

“Desperate not to just awkwardly shuffle our way through our first dance, we were so pleased to find Alison at The Love of Dance. Alison immediately put us at ease; helping us put together a routine that was simple enough to execute, but still really effective. Alison was extremely patient and our lessons were always such fun. The routine went down really well & we felt fabulous on the day. Thank you again, Alison! xC & Tx”

“WOW – what an amazing day. Can’t thank you enough for choreographing a perfect routine for the most important dance of our lives. You totally nailed our personality in the routine and the rhythm & flair that you somehow discovered within us means im still getting e-mails weeks later about ‘That Dance’. Keep smiling, we are. We’ll always remember that dance. Thanks coach!”

“I initially felt overwhelmed with having to perform our wedding 1st dance. However, without Alison, I would never have been able to face it with confidence. She helped me with my dancefloor moves and both of us with a routine that suited my lack of dance ability and which meant I could enjoy it!! Thanks Alison xxx”
