We had an amazing experience. Yvette was super helpful in getting our lessons booked in and mixing a version of our track to dance to. The wonderful Fran was appointed as our dance teacher; for lessons, she came to our flat, which was super convenient and made us very comfortable. We had SO much fun learning our toolbox of moves, then putting our dance together. Fran broke down the steps really well, was incredibly encouraging and made everything so much fun. Not to mention an amazing choreographer and super talented. We loved the whole experience of learning our dance, practicing it and then performing it at our wedding- we loved listening to the crowd’s oohs and ahhhs. We had so many compliments on how amazing our dance was, which was down to the Next Step, helping us put our best foot forward. As such, we wouldn’t hesitate to recommend - our dance lessons were always something we always looked forward to amidst the wedmin. Thank you so much Fran & Yvette!

Yvete We can’t thank you enough for choreographing our first dance—it was truly one of the highlights of our wedding! You took two total beginners and turned us into a couple who actually looked like we knew what we were doing. The routine was elegant, fun, and felt so us. Your patience, encouragement, and clear instruction made the whole process a joy. We felt confident, connected, and totally in sync on the dance floor. Thank you for helping us create a moment we’ll never forget!

We are so grateful to Fran for making our first dance absolutely unforgettable! From the very first lesson, she made us feel completely at ease—even when we were laughing at our own silly dance moves. Fran's patience, encouragement, and clear teaching style turned something we were nervous about into one of the most fun parts of our wedding prep.

By the time the big day came, we felt confident, relaxed, and actually excited to show off our dance—and our guests were genuinely in awe! We’ve had so many compliments on it, and it’s all thanks to Fran.

If you're thinking of doing a first dance (even if you have two left feet), we can't recommend The Next Step Co. enough. This team is truly amazing!

We had around 7 lessons with Danielle Donnelly to plan our wedding first dance and wedding breakfast entrance, and she was great! We had some quite bespoke requirements and strong opinions despite having no prior experience in dancing, and also changed our minds on a fair few things throughout the lessons, but Danielle was happy to adapt to our needs throughout, giving us her professional opinion at each turn and revising the choreography at fairly short notice. Our guests loved it, and we did too!

Danielle was a great instructor, super encouraging and really fun, and we feel so confident going into our wedding! 10/10

We cannot thank The Next Step Co. enough for the amazing lessons they gave us. We both had no dance experience and felt quite nervous about planning a routine for our first dance. Fran created a beautiful routine for us with some nice surprises for the guests. Thank you Fran!

Our teacher Danielle was fantastic! Despite our limited time and dance experience, she quickly assessed our comfort level and created a beautiful choreography that was easy to learn and practice. She was super nice and made our lessons enjoyable. Thanks to her, our dance was a hit at the wedding, we received so many compliments from our friends and family. A special shoutout to Yvette for her help in scheduling our lessons so efficiently. Highly recommend The Next Step to anyone looking for a wedding dance teacher!

Couldn't be happier in working with the Next Step Co for our big day. Catherine and Yvette were incredible and made us feel right at ease. Despite both being nervous, we ended up having a right laugh and so much fun. They tailored moves to our basic skill set and helped us out massively. The dance went incredibly well on the day and we would recommend them to anyone!

We are so glad we made the decision to book a first dance lesson with The Next Step Co, and particularly Emma. Not being natural dancers ourselves, we were feeling a little anxious about our first dance. Emma was incredibly professional and knew exactly how to make us feel at ease. The dance is totally suited to our abilities and she has even made us feel comfortable with a little lift within the dance! Would 100% recommend booking a lesson with Emma to ease any pressure ahead of your big day. Thank you!

We had the pleasure of taking lessons with Fran ahead of our wedding in April 2024.

Fran was extremely approachable and cheerful and had truly endless patience with us, especially as we were both very busy at work and had only limited time to practise in our own time.

Fran worked out very quickly which methods worked with each of us and taught us the various steps individually and then as part of sequences. She planned out a beautiful choreography for our chosen song and we managed to learn it in 5 lessons!

Fran was super flexible when scheduling lessons, working around our timetables and within the limited time ahead of our wedding (we only started lessons about 5 weeks out from the wedding). We had the lessons in the communal studio in the gym in our building which was super convenient, and for our final lesson the night before the wedding Fran came to our wedding venue where we could practice on the actual dance floor, which was incredibly helpful! Fran always made sure we got through the material for the lesson, helping us film ourselves and writing out the steps on text so we could go back over it in our own time, which really helped us make progress in the final weeks.

Needless to say, Fran was right and we absolutely aced the dance on the wedding day. Everything was perfect, including the lean, the lift and the dip, and our guests were super impressed. We can't stop re-watching video clips of our first dance and are so glad we decided to go for a choreographed first dance.

We highly recommend Fran to anyone thinking about learning a choreographed first dance - just do it! You won't regret it!

Love Yvette and her whole team - professional, punctual, flexible with approach and style, hugely helpful, would absolutely work with them again.

As two novices we were very nervous about having a first dance and wanted it over with in 30 seconds. Yvette changed all of that, she took us step by step over four lessons and completely transformed a very bland dance into one that our guests loved. Yvette was kind, extremely patient and very flexible to our suggestions and worked tirelessly with us to make sure it went well. We cannot recommend her and the company enough for any couple wanting a special first dance. We are so grateful to her and the team!

We reached out to Yvette at the Next Step Company 3 or 4 weeks before the wedding day, as I (groom) am registered. blind and started to get nervous about dancing in front of so many people with no dance experience. We booked 3 sessions with Yvette at our flat, and already after session 1, I had gained so much confidence. Yvette is a wonderful teacher with so much patience and attention to detail. Not only did she tailor the dance to our wishes and abilities, but she was fantastic at explaining the different moves and positions in a way that both my partner and I could understand. She also spent extra time choreographing a routine for us in her own time, working out moves that would go with specific lyrics and parts of the song, and also provided edited versions of the track and alternative ideas for how we could do it. I could honestly not recommend this service highly enough. Everyone at our wedding said the first dance was an absolute highlight and they couldn't believe we pulled off the routine we did, featuring spins, a lift and a dip. Absolutely fantastic and I now want to go back and learn some more dances!

In only one lesson Yvette planned our whole dance and gave us so many helpful tips for on the day. She genuinely cared about the moment for us and showed so much support. Definitely recommend!

Yvette was AMAZING. I was pretty nervous before hand, even about song choice, and in the end it was one of the highlights of our wedding. And doing the lessons and practicing together was definitely the best bit of wedmin!
Yvette is a total pro, and has thought of everything!! Unbelievably well prepared for our lessons and I can’t get over her editing the song on the spot for us!
Honestly made our day so special, made our friends and family cry and we enjoyed and appreciated it so much. THANK YOU!
