FLOWERS 63 MUSIC AND ENTERTAINM NT Meet local musicians and entertainers Whether you’re tying the knot in the morning or having an evening soirée, there will be points during the day when your guests will need entertaining. To help give you some ideas, we’ve rounded up some of the best local suppliers. MEET EMMA BREWER FROM FIRST DANCE STUDIOS 07966 513 981 | www.firstdancestudios.co.uk I’m an award-winning choreographer based in Woking, Surrey. Twenty years ago, I found that many couples were floundering with how to look good on the dancefloor for their first dance. I started to teach couples and realised how much they enjoyed learning to dance and how much fun it was for them as well as for myself and my team. From teaching basic steps to full-on flash-mob-style routines, every couple has different needs for their big day. We love it so much that in many cases we end up being at the wedding itself. Over the years, we have been honoured to listen to each couple’s first dance music before everyone else. The ever-popular Michael Bublé, Sinatra and Ed Sheeran make great first dance choices. However, we’ve had everything from heavy metal, Persian folk music, French 70’s classics and even the Muppet’s Bohemian Rhapsody. In terms of choreography, it’s the best challenge. We have a list of song suggestions available for those that can’t quite make up their mind. With so many great songs out there, it can be overwhelming, which is why we always guide couples to choose what works for them. We’ve loved teaching couples steps, moves and combinations so they can feel confident in each other’s arms. The best part is watching a couple at the start of our very popular three-part package arrive nervous about what’s ahead and leave the last session wanting to bust out their moves. Seeing them grow in confidence, style and joy is our raison d’être. From tangos and jives to rumbas and sambas, we’ve taught all dance styles. At First Dance Studios, we’ve seen dance trends come and go, especially with the popularity of Strictly Come Dancing and TikTok. However, our favourite remains the dances that the couples elevate to the next level in terms of personal significance. We’re very excited about the next 20 years. We are actively growing due to popularity, and have a team of teachers across Surrey, Sussex and London ready to lead you onto the dancefloor. We endeavour to come up with more first dances, more couple to crowd connections for a great party and more fun.
