My husband and I recently got married and it had been our desire that our first dance as husband and wife to be as memorable as possible. After getting engaged and wedding planning... commenced we found Arthur Murray Manchester at a wedding expo and after some discussion signed up for a trial lesson at their studio.
My husband and I began dance lessons approximately one year ago and over the course of our dance instruction we found so much value in each instructor, each providing excellent feedback and instruction for beginner dancers. Along side consistent practice on our own, we varied our classes from once a week to every other week. We found that this was a good balance for us to keep progressing, learning new moves, hand placement, timing and confidence.
As a couple we also were able to connect more on a different level, being each others biggest support, learning to lead, learning to follow. We found a new, unexpected hobby that we both genuinely enjoyed doing.
Although the main focus over the year was our first dance, Arthur Murray incorporated other dances into our sessions which gave us an even larger foundation as beginners and other options for dance throughout our wedding celebration.
We are so grateful for all the instruction we were provided, the laughs and the memories. Our first dance was a success and we can now look back over the years and say "we did this".
A special thank you to our instructor Abbie, who showed us our first steps and worked consistently with us throughout the year. It was a full circle moment we are both happy to have shared with you.
