FAQ

The First offers packages in the form of 4, 5 or 6 lessons. The number of lessons will depend on each individual couple! Get in touch to have a chat about what we recommend for you and your partner.

Whichever way you choose to go, we work together on a weekly or fortnightly basis to have your choreographed routine up to scratch, so you feel comfortable and ready for the dance on your special day. 

We recommend no longer than 3 minutes for your first dance. Most songs are around this length or can be faded out effectively at 3 minutes. We also offer complimentary music editing for those that might need a little more attention. 

We recommend the following as a guide;

3 months prior to wedding day:

  • 6 pack, fortnightly lessons (Did somebody say Date Night?)

2 months prior to wedding day:

  • 4 or 5 pack fortnightly lessons

1 month prior to wedding day:

  • 4 or 5 pack, weekly lessons

Absolutely not! We specialise in teaching simple, easy to follow dance moves that will have you feeling confident, comfortable and looking fabulous, ready for your wedding day. 

Something easy to move in, preferably stretchy and definitely comfortable. Ladies, bring your heels along with you, however we won't wear them until the later lessons of your package so that you can concentrate fully on the choreography primarily.

Similarly, if you have a similar length skirt or dress to your wedding dress, it's worth wearing that in the later lessons to get a feel for what the choreography is like in that length of dress.

Chanelle turned our dance dreams into reality with choreography that was just what we wanted! She made every lesson easy to follow and a whole lot of fun. Learning with her was an absolute joy. We highly recommend Chanelle if you're looking to make your dance moves shine on your big day!

If you’re looking for a sign to do dance lessons for your wedding, this is it! Chanelle from The First is the most beautiful soul and has so much love for what she does which comes through in the way she teaches you and the dance she puts together for you. We both have two left feet and were so nervous about the idea of dancing in front of 200 of our family and friends but Chanelle wiped away all those fears and the dance we learnt felt so us! Not just that, we genuinely had SO much fun each week with her - it was like three besties having a date night! Wish we could do it all again ❤️

Chanelle made us feel so comfortable from the very beginning! She made the whole process so much fun that we really looked forward to each lesson, our parents also got involved and she was so patient and kind and made it seem easy! We cannot thank Chanelle enough for bringing our first dance and father daughter dance to life!

Chanelle was an absolute delight! Her enthusiasm and energy were contagious during our dance lesson. We’re not dancers, but she made it super fun and made us both feel so comfortable. We only had one lesson with her, but in that time she choreographed a small, simple routine that was super easy to learn and was so fun to practice and do on our wedding day! I would highly recommend Chanelle to anyone!

Chanelle Freeland is a super friendly, easy going, talented dance instructor who managed to make my 'anti dance' husband incredibly comfortable with dancing and our wedding dance relaxed. With 4 lessons we got an entire song choreographed to perfection with our wedding guests incredibly impressed
