    Best decision ever

    Sallie-Beth is an incredible dance teacher. She really listened to me and my now husband and created a dance that felt authentic to us. I was so anxious about the first dance and she made it so much more enjoyable. I was also very impressed that she could teach the dance in our tiny London flat!! We got so many compliments on the dance, best decision ever!

    The best wedding and hen do dance experience

    Sally-Beth was the perfect instructor, giving us four dance lessons within the month before our wedding. She came to our house, at convenient dates and times, working around our new baby's needs. Always upbeat and fun to work with.
    It was great value for money. James and I loved our lessons. I like that we discussed bits of choreography and fed into the creative process too.
    I was also lucky to have a fab experience on my hen do, learning a flash mob routine to Flashdance with my friends.
    A real highlight of the wedding when we performed the dances!
    Highly recommend.

    Dance Of A Lifetime's reply:

    thank you Jessica! Lucky me to be able to work with you in both capacities. I had such a special time getting to know you and James, and it was beautiful to watch your creativity shine and James' confidence grow. You should be so proud of the beautiful work you did! Wishing you and your little one a wonderful year!

    Sallie is the best person we could have asked for to put together our first dance.

    Sallie is the best person we could have asked for to put together our first dance.

    She is fun, sweet, caring, and full of energy.

    She created a beautiful choreography to a compilation of Sia’s “Snowman”, “Beautiful Things” by Benson Boone, and “(I’ve Had) The Time of My Life” from Dirty Dancing.

    Thanks to her, our first dance was romantic, fun, and a little bit sexy.

    Sallie is truly amazing at what she does — she really listens, cares, and makes the whole experience special.

    Thank you again, Sallie — we created beautiful memories thanks to you.

    Dance Of A Lifetime's reply:

    Thank you so so much Jessica! It was an absolute joy to share the journey with you, we had a big task on our hands but you both executed the dance with such grace and passion. It was an honour to get to know you both and I wish you a beautiful life together.

    First dance lesson

    Sallie was such a dream! Neither of us are very confident dancers but Sallie came up with a perfect routine for us to practice. The lessons were so fun and Sallie is such a natural teacher. Our first dance was so special, it was one of our highlights of the day. We couldn't recommend her more! X

    Dance Of A Lifetime's reply:

    In our short but wonderful time together I was so proud of how much you supported each other and outgrew your own expectations. Congratulations on the end result and I wish you a beautiful life together!

    The Best First Dance Experience - We Couldn’t Have Done It Without Sallie

    We had such a fantastic experience with Dance of a Lifetime, thanks to our amazing instructor, Sallie. From the very first lesson, she put us completely at ease – she’s incredibly warm, encouraging, and has a real gift for teaching. Neither of us had ever danced before, but Sallie somehow managed to choreograph a routine that included spins, dips, lifts, and even a section to a rap verse – and made it feel achievable (and fun!) every step of the way.

    Sallie has a brilliant way of breaking things down so they never feel overwhelming, and she’s so positive and patient, even when we got the same move wrong five times in a row :) She genuinely made each lesson something we looked forward to, and we always left smiling and laughing.

    Our first dance ended up being one of the highlights of the day – our guests absolutely loved it, and we felt so proud of what we managed to do. We honestly can’t recommend Sallie and Dance of a Lifetime enough. If you’re thinking about doing a first dance, especially if you’re total beginners like us, book a few lessons – you won’t regret it!

    Sallie is the best!

    Sallie completely transformed what I thought would be one of the most nerve-wracking parts of our wedding into joy. My fiancé has always loved to dance, while I’ve never felt comfortable on the dance floor and hat all changed after working with Sallie.

    From our very first lesson, Sallie was warm, professional, and incredibly encouraging. She created a space that felt safe, fun, and judgment-free.

    Sallie tailored the choreography to suit our personalities and skill levels, making sure it felt natural and special to us. I actually achieved far more than I ever expected. On our wedding day, we danced with confidence and had the time of our lives doing it.

    Thank you, Sallie, for helping me discover the fun in dancing and for giving us a memory we'll treasure forever 🤗

    The perfect first dance teacher for non dancers!

    Sallie was outstanding! She perfectly choreographed a first dance for our wedding, listening to our vision and adapting to our skill level. Sallie made our lessons light-hearted, fun and enjoyable and helped us learn the dance in a way that suited our learning styles. We really enjoyed it and had so many compliments on the day. Thank you for being an absolute superstar Sallie!

    Dance Of A Lifetime's reply:

    Such kind words! You two were the real stars from start to finish, you complemented each other so beautifully! Thank you for such being so committed and fun, you should both be very proud. Keep up the good work!

    Perfect choice for first dance!

    My partner and I realised a month before our wedding that us trying to choreograph some sort of first dance was never going to end well! So on a Thursday evening I reached out to Dance Of A Lifetime, having found them recommended on Hitched, and we were having our first lesson by Saturday afternoon! Sallie immediately put us at ease and was so positive, encouraging and patient over our two sessions and made the whole experience really fun. By the end of it we felt totally prepared and absolutely loved performing the dance on the night, and the crowd loved it too! Thank you Sallie!

    Dance Of A Lifetime's reply:

    Thank you for a glowing review! We managed to achieved a gorgeous routine in such a short space of time thanks to your hard work and enthusiasm, you should both be really proud! Wishing you both the best and keep up the dancing!

    Wow oh wow!

    We had the pleasure of Sallie choreographing our wedding dance for us and had the best experience with her! We had some crazy ideas which we wanted to add a surprise element to our dance that included roaming brass band and Sal ran with it the end result totally blew us away and was a highlight of our day - she even worked together with the band to ensure they was fully onboard with what was happening. Each lesson was a pleasure and was something to look forward to in the planning and brought us close during stressful times that are part of the parcel of planning a wedding. Sal created a fun, welcoming and warm environment which was great for two left footed non dancer types to learn! Incredible and highly recommend! Thank you Sallie! 🤍

    Dance Of A Lifetime's reply:

    It was my absolute pleasure to work with you both on this and to watch you blossom from lesson to lesson. The dance was so original and was executed beautifully, you should both be really proud. Wishing you a beautiful life together!

    Fun and lovely experience we can now cherish for a lifetime

    We had the pleasure of working with Sallie as our first dance choreographer, and we couldn’t be happier with the experience! From the very first session, Sallie’s high energy, warmth, and positivity made us feel comfortable and confident, even though we were pretty much beginners.

    She created a beautiful choreography for our chosen song that perfectly suited us as a couple. Each session was fun, engaging, and tailored to our pace. By the end, we not only had a first dance we were proud of, but we also truly enjoyed the process of learning it together.

    Sallie is an incredibly talented and lovely person, and we’d highly recommend her to any couple looking to add something special to their wedding day. Thank you, Sallie, for making our first dance unforgettable!

    Thank you for your beautiful words! I too had a wonderful time creating this magic with you both, you’re both naturally very talented and a joy to work with! Wishing you a gorgeous future together
