First dance lessons taught one couple at a time: in your front room, at the venue you have booked, or on a floor we hire close by. Nothing to drive across town for, no group class, no term dates.

There are six boxes here, no more. Someone reads it properly, then rings to talk through your song, your date, and which part of Leeds the lessons should come to.

Check availability for your date.
Georgian rooms in the centre, mill conversions along the water, country hotels the far side of the ring road: Leeds couples marry in spaces that have almost nothing in common. The floor you will be standing on changes what works, so it is one of the first things we ask about.
Headingley, Chapel Allerton, Horsforth, Roundhay, Meanwood, Morley: the drive between any two of those at six in the evening is not nothing. Bringing the lesson to your postcode is often the difference between a plan that survives the wedding run-up and one that quietly stops happening.
The rest is built from the recording: its tempo, where the best sixty seconds sit, whether it wants shortening. Your instructor choreographs from that track for the two of you specifically, and nothing arrives second-hand from another couple's wedding.
Teaching in Leeds is done by instructors already working across the city, who know which venues have a sprung floor and which have carpet, and how long it genuinely takes to get from Horsforth to Garforth on a Friday.
You are matched with someone who covers your part of Leeds and has room in the weeks before your date. They will ask what the two of you listen to, watch how you stand next to each other, and build from there. Nothing is recycled, largely because there is no house routine sitting about to recycle.
Everyone teaching for us works this way and charges the same prices. If your dates shift and a different instructor picks you up, none of that changes.
Five packages, the same five wherever we teach, priced per couple rather than per person. No Leeds surcharge, no quote form, no asterisk concealing a travel fee.
Each price covers both of you and the teaching itself, wherever in Leeds we meet. Extra lessons can be added afterwards at the single-lesson rate if you decide you want them.
The venue and the cake are booked. This part takes two minutes.

A back-to-back in Hyde Park, a semi out in Roundhay, a new flat down by the water: if two people can stand and turn without meeting the sofa, that is a start. No journey, no parking to pay for, your own speaker.
Where the venue can spare the room for a lesson, one hour on the real floor is worth two anywhere else. You discover the step down onto the dance floor before the wedding does.
When home is tight, we book a room with a proper floor in your bit of the city, north, south or nearer the middle, and meet you there. Which room depends on availability; it is confirmed when the lesson is.
The centre, Headingley, Chapel Allerton, Roundhay, Horsforth, Meanwood, Kirkstall, Moortown, Morley and Garforth, then onward to Wakefield, Otley, Ilkley, Wetherby, Pudsey and Guiseley. Sitting just off the edge of that list? Ask; it is usually fine.
A good many couples ring having already settled on shuffling for thirty seconds and getting it over with. That is a perfectly respectable plan, and it improves enormously with three small additions: knowing how you walk on, one turn you both trust, and an ending you have agreed in advance. An afternoon's work, not a change of career.
Six-minute album versions, key changes in awkward places, a first verse that goes nowhere: most tracks need editing before they make a good first dance. Your choreographer will tell you which ninety seconds are worth keeping, and your DJ or band can take it from there.

The local ones are here. Lesson counts, footwear and how early to begin are all answered on the main page.
Wherever is least trouble for you, and it can change between lessons. Most Leeds couples learn at home and then book one session at the venue near the end, once the routine exists and the floor is the only unknown. The price is identical either way.
Almost nobody does. A first dance tends to run about ninety seconds to two minutes before guests are waved on, so the job is deciding which part of the track earns the floor. Your instructor will listen to it with you and mark where a cut can be made without it sounding hacked about.
Yes, with one extra step: ask the band for their arrangement and, if they will, a rough recording to rehearse against. Live tempo drifts a fraction, so the routine is built to follow the music rather than a stopwatch. Say on the form that it is live and we will plan around it.
Evenings and weekends are what most couples ask for and most of what gets booked. It depends on the diary of the instructor covering your area, so the useful thing is to tell us which slots suit you; we will say quickly whether they are free.
Easily. Learning somewhere with more floor is often the sensible move, and a parent's front room, a hall a friend can get hold of, or a room we hire all count. Tell your instructor which address before the lesson so nobody drives to the wrong one.
Bring it, on a phone you are happy to hand over, and download it rather than trusting the wi-fi. Your instructor brings a speaker. If you have three possible songs and no decision, bring all three: hearing them in a room while you move is usually what ends the argument.
