First Dance Tampa

r skill level. As beginners, we really appreciated her patience and easygoing teaching style. She made the whole process enjoyable and positive. Thanks to her, we were able to completely surprise our family and friends with a first dance that felt uniquely “us,” and now we have the most beautiful photos and video to remember our first dance as husband and wife!

each lesson and practicing it at home! It was our favorite part of wedding planning - we would recommend wedding dance lessons to any engaged couple!

Sarah not only helped us select the perfect song but also crafted a routine that was tailored to our skill level and wedding vision. I wanted our first dance to compliment my sparkly tulle gown. Sarah was able to incorporate moves that highlighted my dress while keeping my dress a surprise for my groom. The result? A beautiful dance that wowed our guests and left us with unforgettable photos capturing pure joy on everyone's faces Even beyond the wedding day, Sarah's lessons continue to benefit us – my husband now effortlessly spins and dips me like a pro! Thank you, Sarah, for your talent, patience, and for making our first dance absolutely perfect!

sons with Amanda took the stress out of planning out first dance. Would highly recommend her!

ate nights. She came up with basic moves to go with our song, and even cropped it to the perfect length for us. It made our first dance so much more fun than just swaying back and forth, and everyone loved it! We would highly recommend going with them for all your dance lesson needs :) You won’t regret it! We’ll cherish that moment from our wedding forever 🤍

want our first dance to feel too “rehearsed.” Amanda gave us a lot of confidence so we weren’t as nervous. We were deciding between 2 songs and Amanda helped us choose which one we ultimately used once we started dancing at the first lesson. If we had more time, would of loved to do a lesson with our parents as well.

ppy we went with this company! Our dance lessons were so fun and reasonably priced - while a wedding is just one day, adding in dance lessons gives you fun date night(s)! Additionally, Amanda was amazingly flexible - she was down an instructor and worked with us to get our lessons in despite that, even doing two Zoom lessons with us when she was recovering from not feeling well. The end result was a fun and romantic first dance catered to our abilities. I highly recommend this company and Amanda!

us. I'm so glad we decided to invest in lessons for our first dance. It was so worth it! Sarah was a delight to work with. She was kind, patient, and really worked wonders since we both struggled with 2 left feet at fist!

t we reached out and scheduled our lessons. Amanda is easy to communicate with and was so welcoming when we arrived for our first lesson. She is an incredible teacher and helped us to feel comfortable and confident! She took our feedback and wishes for our first dance and created a choreographed routine that was simple, but elegant and included plenty of opportunities for "oohs and ahhs" from our guests. Each hour flew by and I was surprised at how much we were able to learn in two lessons! It felt like a date for us and provided us with an opportunity to relax and learn something new with Amanda's expert guidance. Our dance went smoothly and was so much fun! I'd absolutely recommend Amanda to anyone looking for anything special for their first dance- Amanda made this special moment something we'll remember fondly forever!

our first dance perfectly. We are so lucky we got to have them incorporate our story and who we are into our dance together. The dance was perfect, and we could not be more satisfied!

wanted a dance that felt natural to us but kept everyone's attention. We had our dance lessons with Sara and right away we loved her energy and passion. She took time at the beginning to get to know us and all about our wedding, this made us feel so comfortable with her. The dance lessons were so much fun despite us having no rhythm at first. We were more excited to perform our first dance than we were for our wedding ceremony. We practiced every day leading us to the wedding. It was so worth it!! All of our guests were cheering and applauding the dance and we felt amazing while doing it. We had guests (who are engaged) begging us for information about who we worked with so they can take lessons next.

Not only did we learn the steps, twirls, and dips… but we had SO much fun doing it. The lessons with Amanda were such a fun pre-wedding activity together, definitely a highlight of the planning process. We even loved practicing at home lol. I also really appreciated her patience because I needed to see the same move like 10 times before trying it myself. She ended up making us feel so confident for the first dance, and everyone loved it. Can’t recommend Amanda enough!! She’s truly the best!!

feel so comfortable (and he loved doing the routine!). The guests loved watching us do a choreographed first dance. I am SO happy we decided to do lessons with Amanda, and I recommend her to anyone with a wedding coming up!

the dance floor to the perfect dips for photo opportunities! She was very thorough but kept things fun and comfortable! Our first dance turned out great and we give all the credit to Amanda! Our lessons were something we looked forward to to relieve the stress of wedding planning!! Highly suggest Amanda to everyone!!!

Amanda on Instagram and I'm so happy I did. My husband and I have zero dance experience but Amanda made it really easy! She took her time with us & had soooo much patience when we had to ask her over and over which foot goes where! lol I was a little nervous about a choreographed dance feeling over produced or a little cheesy, but it didn't look or feel that way one bit with Amanda. She tailored the dance specifically to us, and our skill/comfort level. She was an excellent communicator and made sure we felt good with every new move she gave us. We had so so so much fun taking lessons with her. It was easily one of if not THE best decision we made in the wedding planning process. It gave the two of us something fun & different to do during a somewhat stressful time of planning. We really looked forward to our lessons and were sad when it was over! We had a wonderful first dance the day of the wedding and have amazing photos (included) because of it! We otherwise probably would have just swayed back and forth awkwardly! lol I cannot recommend Amanda enough, truly. I think this is something every couple should do!

ng Amanda is! My dad and I knew we wanted to do a slow dance with a fun surprise dance for a long time and Amanda helped us bring that vision to life. We didn't even know where to begin and she took all the stress and worry away. We had so much fun meeting weekly to practice our dance and going to our lessons with Amanda. She was so patient with us and also made the lessons so much fun. We were always laughing and having the best time. Our father / daughter dance was the biggest hit and everyone was completely shocked at the choreography. This was definitely such a memorable experience for me and my dad that we will never forget. My husband and I also loved our lessons with Amanda. This gave us time to de-stress from the wedding and just enjoy something together that was fun and brought us closer during the weeks leading up. We felt so confident for our first dance and all our family and friends couldn't stop talking about how much they loved our dances. Our dances were definitely one of the highlights of the night and still one of my favorite memories from our wedding day. We are so thankful for Amanda during the entire process and are excited to recommend her to our friends. She provides an amazing and fun service for your wedding day and is so worth it! Thank you so much Amanda, we love you!

sure you are comfortable with every move. She made our lessons something to look forward to in the craziness of wedding planning. I loved “having to practice” our dance at home and to our surprise, it helped get our mind off of everything. It centered us and reminded us this is to celebrate our love and not all the little details the big day entails. I would recommend her to anyone looking for a first dance teacher!

ocrastinated hiring a choreographer so when I reached out to Amanda about a month before our wedding, I was absolutely thrilled when she told us she could squeeze us in. The lessons were absolutely fantastic. We had so much fun in our two lessons that we added an extra lesson less than a week before our wedding. We just had soo much fun that I seriously did not want our lessons to end. Learning some key dance moves also enhanced our wedding. I think we "dipped" about 20 times during our wedding (including the first kiss) and twirled about a thousand times. She also gave us the confidence to absolutely nail our first dance. I seriously can't recommend Amanda enough. I wish we could have another wedding just to keep learning dances from her. SHE IS THE BEST!!

we really needed someone to choreograph something special for us. We found Amanda through The Knot and we reached out. Naturally, because she’s so amazing, she was booked pretty far out. She made an exception for us because of our prior dance experience. We couldn’t be more grateful because our dance was beautiful. She made the whole process feel fun and easy. She also edited our music for us so it was the perfect length! Even with our shortened rehearsal schedule she sent us off feeling ready and confident. We knew our guests would be expecting a lot from us and the dance she made was perfect. We even had a waiter, who said he’d worked hundreds of Weddings, come up and say it was the best First Dance he’s ever seen. We can’t wait for the videos so we can share the magic we felt dancing this beautiful dance as a married couple. We’ve never had more fun! Make sure you book with Amanda because she’s the best!

e least, and Amanda helped us both feel comfortable and gave us a beautiful dance that everyone loved. She was flexible and worked with our schedules and even helped us squeeze in time for my father daughter dance which was amazing. I can’t say enough good things!! I would 100% recommend working with her 😊

da made it such a fun experience. We looked forward to every lesson and it was such a fun part of the wedding planning process!

d by the thought of having to come up with a dance on our own. That's where Amanda came in. She made the experience fun and seamless. We looked forward to the sessions every time and the final outcome was a beautifully crafted dance that the crowd loved! She broke down the steps into manageable bite-sized pieces, and in the end we pulled off a dance that I never thought we would be able to do! Highly recommend!

. Amanda took our ideas and inspiration to design a unique dance with a custom mix that our band was able to easily play during our first dance. Our guests loved the surprise of a choreographed first dance and were pleasantly surprised at our dance skills! We still remember our moves and dance together whenever we hear “Unforgettable” or “(This will be an) Everlasting Love.” Thank you so much Amanda! We cannot recommend her enough for your upcoming wedding!

ose a song for our first dance that was not a typical song and Amanda choreographed a beautiful dance and helped us to feel comfortable and our absolute best. We are so glad we moved forward with dance lessons and we will cherish the memories forever. We loved our time with Amanda so much, I even had her help with my Dad and I's dance as well, which he also loved! I highly recommend Amanda's dance lessons, she is pure joy to work with. :)

had multiple conversations with numerous companies. After corresponding with Amanda, only once, I knew that she was the perfect person to choreograph my wife and I's first dance. Needless to say, I couldn't have chosen better! She not only made us feel comfortable and confident but she also made learning our first dance so much fun to the point where both my wife and I would look forward to our classes. Amanda was extremely thoughtful with the choreography and made sure that it was personalized for the song we had picked out. She was extremely flexible with her scheduling and was always quick to respond with any questions or to check in the week prior to the wedding to see how we were doing. Thanks to Amanda, we rocked our first dance, much to the enjoyment of our guests, and received nothing but positive feedback on how wonderful it looked and went. If you're looking at main stream companies or are between 2-3, stop what you're doing and book with Amanda! Her personal touch and expertise will definitely shine through and you'll have a much better experience (and more fun) as you prep for your big day!

ur dancing abilities. We came to her as complete rookies, and left as extremely confident dancers. I highly recommend taking lessons with Amanda!

he most amazing first dance we could’ve ever asked for. She was so helpful and made it so much fun! We received so many compliments on our dance and it’s one of the most memorable moments of our wedding day. She is the best and we are so happy we were able to work with her!

moves, she even went above and beyond and got a special LGBTQ cover of one of our favorite songs! She is worth every penny!

worried we were going to be limited in what our dance could be due to our lack of dancing experience, but she left us feeling so confident! 4 lessons were a perfect amount of time. Our wedding is next weekend and I can’t wait to finally show our friends and family what we have been working on together! Seriously book Amanda. She is the best.

to learn and I enjoyed it all so much! My fiancé and I are very comfortable with our dance! Amanda also choreographed a beautiful father daughter dance for me. I highly recommend her to anyone who wants to have choreographed wedding dances!

g for someone to give us lessons and choreograph an elegant routine for us. I luckily found Amanda. She is amazing! She is a great teacher and made the whole thing fun and easy to learn. Even though both of us were a little nervous to do this, we feel completely at ease now, with our wedding coming up soon. I highly recommend choosing Amanda for your wedding dance. She also choreographed a routine for my fiancée’s Father-Daughter dance, and both routines are really great. Amanda is the kind of person you want teaching you since she takes the time to make you feel comfortable, and she makes the whole thing easy to learn. I highly recommend her for your wedding dances!!

what i wanted so i gave her a shot and turned out better than ever. I gave her a mixture of songs(from slow to hip hop ) for our first dance and she completed my vision. She had so much patience and i wish i was having another wedding to do it all over again.

utiful dance based on the song and our level of dance experience. She is super sweet, kind hearted and patient. She is super talented, very professional, on time but also fun to work with. Absolutely LOVED LOVED our first slow dance along with our guest. Thanking her tons! She truly is a pleasure to work with. I can tell its her passion& she definitely works from her heart! Highly recommend!!

tress out of a first dance. She also was able to shorten our song and send us a MP3 link to share with our band. Definitely recommend working with her!

of the best things we did before the wedding..100% would recommend Amanda!

elp us deliver! I want to say that my fiancé and I are by no means “dancers” but after a few lessons with Amanda we felt like we had been dancing our whole lives! Both of us went into the first lesson a little hesitant but Amanda’s fun and patient demeanor soon put our hesitations to rest. She had all the choreography ready ahead of time and even went above and beyond to edit our song so that it fit the routine perfectly. We had 3 lessons in total and the whole process was so much fun for both my fiancé and I. Our wedding guests were blown away when they saw our first dance! It’s been over a month since our wedding and they are still talking about it. Since finishing our first dance lessons, my fiancé and I have talked about continuing lessons with Amanda because we loved it so much and felt it was a great activity to do together. Amanda, thank you so much for helping Tyler and I make our first dance everything we hoped for and more :)

us at our skill level to create a beautiful first dance. She choreographed a beautiful dance using the song we selected. It definitely took away from some of our anxieties the day of, created some great pictures, and everyone was super impressed! Highly recommend!!

nda is no doubt the reason why! Not only did she make us feel comfortable from the first second, but the time she put into choreographing some basic moves for us was immediately evident. When we had our first dance at our wedding, we nailed it and felt so comfortable. We got so many compliments from our guests (and great photos, too!) My fiancé and I also had a lesson with our parents, and it was so special to have them be included in the process, too. I can’t recommend working with Amanda enough!

adjustments based off our needs and comfort levels. We had so much fun with each class, the time went by so fast! In the end we have a beautiful dance for our first dance that makes our special moment that much more special! Good kodak moments too! Thank you Amanda for being a wonderful instructor! I highly recommend her!

song. Boy did she deliver!! Not only did she create a beautiful, sexy, and fun choreography for us, but she also helped us put our own flare to it. Within 3 lessons, we had the routine down pat and crushed it at our wedding! Our guests loved every second of our dance and remarked on how at ease we looked, which we can only credit to Amanda!! Her professionalism and fun, kind attitude make the classes so easy and helped make our wedding dance so memorable!! 10/10 would recommend this gal to anyone. Amanda- we'll be back with friends to learn some salsa soon ;)

e up with a great first dance for us to learn in a very compressed time period which went really well with the first dance song we selected.

Everyone loved it! Would definitely recommend her to anyone and everyone! So personally and easy to work with and continues to help even after the sessions!

in case we needed to squeeze in a last minute session. So also helped edit our song and was always very helpful and responsive. Will definitely go back for future dance lessons! 💃🏻

ows exactly what she’s doing, seriously a professional! We love that she was able to choreograph a special dance for us for our first dance for our wedding as well! She’s packed with patience and very passionate. She breaks it down from the beginning and next thing you know, we’re putting it together and making sense of it all. Her 4 lessons are PERFECT and we plan to do more. She is worth every single penny, plus some!! She’s a complete professional, down to earth, and very talented! We genuinely enjoy and have fun learning during her lessons. If I could give her more than 5 stars, I would!
