Wedding Dance Lessons
If your wedding day is approaching fast and you are a little worried you have two left feet, then do not worry, Natalie can lead you onto the dance floor with confidence, elegance and style that will wow your friends and family.
Getting that first dance just right is key. Natalie ready to help you create something special and memorable for your all important day!
Prices from £40 per session.
What to expect:
- Lessons normally take place in the comfort of your own home at evenings or weekends; you need about 3 x 3m space. Or I can help you hire a space by recommending and helping you book.
(Note: The venue charge would not be included in the dance lesson booking, this is an added extra)
- Prior to your first dance lesson, I will be in touch to discuss all of your needs and requirements. We will discuss thoroughly through your song choice and steps you wish to incorporate and most importantly I will help to put you at complete ease, organising a routine tailored to your unique needs to avoid that awkward first dance shuffle.
- Lessons tend to be 1.5 hours in length and how frequent depends on your needs. Often 3 sessions spread out over time tends to be a good amount, but if you would like that extra reassurance extra sessions can be arranged, likewise, if you just want a one off session feel free to get in touch. We can make it work for you.
Choreography
Alongside Natalie's work as a performer, she is also a passionate choreographer with experience working on musical theatre shows, pride festival, dance showcases/ competitions, summer schools and movement direction/ staging.
Natalie has choreographed for BIPA’s degree-level productions including:
Claus The Musical, Bad Girls, A Christmas Carol, and Assassins The Musical (Staged both in Bristol and in Berlin)
Whether she is working with a full ensemble or shaping a solo moment, she focuses on storytelling, energy, and detail. Natalie loves collaborating with performers to bring choreography to life in a way that feels authentic and exciting!
