First dance lessons taught to the two of you and nobody else, at home, at your venue, or on a hired floor nearby. First weddings and second ones, big summer marquees and quiet winter afternoons, all on the same terms.

Six boxes, most of them optional in spirit. A person reads it and telephones you to talk through the season you are marrying in, the song, and what would suit the two of you.
Some couples would sooner start with the money, which is why every figure is printed under prices further down.
Check availability for your date.
Two questions shape most of what we do here. When in the year are you marrying, since a January function room and a July marquee ask different things of a dance? And is this the first wedding, or the one where you already know exactly what you do and do not want?
Cold halls need warming up in and heavy fabrics slow everything down. Hot marquees make two minutes feel like five, and grass matting grabs at shoes. Knowing which you are dealing with changes the length, the pace and occasionally the ending.
Couples marrying again often want less spectacle and more certainty: something calm, brief and genuinely theirs, in front of people who have known them a long time. That is a straightforward thing to teach and an enjoyable one.
Teaching around Doncaster is done by instructors working locally, who see couples of every age and are as content building ninety unhurried seconds as an eight-lesson routine.
The instructor covering your corner of Doncaster is the one you get, assuming the weeks before your date are still free in their diary. The routine is theirs to write, made from your song and from what the two of you can do comfortably rather than what a syllabus says should come next. Nothing gets reused, because nothing was made in advance.
All of them teach on the same terms and charge the same prices. Should the diary force a change of instructor, that remains true.
Five packages, priced for a couple and identical in every town we cover. Peak summer costs no more than a wet Tuesday in November, and there is nothing hidden behind an enquiry.
Every price covers the two of you and the teaching wherever we meet around Doncaster. Additional lessons are available afterwards at the single-lesson price if you want them.

A semi in Bessacarr, a dormer at Sprotbrough, a stone cottage towards Tickhill. In January this is much the most appealing option, and there is generally more usable floor than people expect.
Function room, hotel suite or a marquee already up on the lawn. A lesson in the space shows you what heat, grass or a stone floor will really do before the day tests it.
A hall near you, taken for the hour, when home is short of room. Which one depends on availability, and it is settled with you when the lesson is booked.
Bessacarr, Balby, Wheatley, Cantley, Armthorpe, Bentley, Sprotbrough, Edenthorpe and Rossington, then Tickhill, Bawtry, Thorne, Hatfield, Conisbrough, Mexborough and across to Retford and Worksop. Just beyond the edge of that? Ask and we will tell you.
We are asked, gently and often, whether dance lessons are really meant for people in their fifties, sixties or beyond. They are. Choreography is written for the bodies in front of it: comfortable turns, no jumping about, and a pace that lets you talk to each other while you dance.
Second weddings often come with clearer opinions, which makes them easy to teach. If last time was a scramble in front of two hundred people, this one can be ninety seconds you actually enjoy, in front of the twenty who matter most. That is a legitimate ambition, not a lesser one.

These are the local ones. The general questions — numbers of lessons, shoes, when to begin — live on the main page.
Mostly it changes the practicalities. Cold rooms mean a longer warm-up, heavier outfits limit how far arms travel, and the dance often happens earlier in a dark evening than a summer one would. None of that alters the choreography much; it just wants planning for rather than discovering.
It shortens it, sensibly. Warm marquees and formal outfits make two minutes feel considerably longer than they sound, so a summer routine is usually built tighter with a clear finish rather than a long fade. Grass matting also grips, which is worth telling your instructor about.
Entirely. A good share of the couples we teach have done a wedding before and want something smaller and more assured this time. There is no expectation of a big production and nobody will push you towards one; a single lesson and a well-shaped ninety seconds is a perfectly complete answer.
Yes, with the choreography written for the two of you rather than adapted from something younger. No lifts unless you want them and they are sensible, turns taken at a comfortable speed, and stops that do not jar knees or backs. Say what hurts and it simply will not appear in the routine.
By enquiry rather than a timetable, and earlier is easier for the popular months. Tell us your date and the weeks you could be free, and you will get a straight answer about what the instructor covering your area can offer. If the answer is no, you will hear that quickly too.
Small rooms are arguably the better argument for one. Twenty people standing close by see everything, so knowing what you are doing matters more, not less. The dance itself can be brief and quiet; it just benefits from having been decided in advance.
One song, two people, and rather less panic than you expect.
