First Dance Kamloops

Congrats to this beautiful couple who’s dance brought me to tears 🥹🥹🥹🥹

She came in terrified of being dropped in a dip. We went over all the safety measures slowly (this is where my trauma-informed somatic practice comes in handy for dance 😉) then they went home and practiced SO MUCH.

The leans and dips ended up being the best part of the dance because she smiles so big every time! - and there’s now 4 “dangerous” moves in her wedding dance. Get it girl 🕺💃✌️

To a beautiful memory on your wedding day, and every dance floor to follow 🫶

You’re not coming to me to become professional ballroom dancers, you’re coming to have a good time and learn some “good enough” moves for your wedding!

Part of what keeps my job fun is making up names that help couples remember the moves!

I’ve collected names over the years too - “tootsie pop” Luc Peron, “going to the bar” , and “show pony” are my most recent favourites. Videos of those coming soon!

This lift is pretty self explanatory and good for dresses where you can’t lift your leg! Bend on leg or throw your head back for an extra flair 💃

Dinner and a movie is nice. This is better. 💃

Skip the same old date night and try something that actually brings you closer — literally. No experience needed, just two left feet and a little trust in each other.

Congratulations to the most stunning (seriously look at these two!!), hilarious, and lovebirdy couple ever!

Without a doubt, you two will grow old together, perform for dancing with the stars, and meet the gov’nor.

I can’t wait to see your first dance 🪩 🫶

She had NO IDEA this was coming. 😂

You might be afraid of giving your weight, but it’s actually so simple that even a partner who’s never practiced it can follow! That’s the beauty of good leading: it’s not about muscle, it’s about connection. (And a bit of physics).

⚠️ That said, don’t just try this cold at your next date night — the lead needs to know what they’re doing! Watch the video a few times first, then try it slow with your partner. TRUST > speed.

Still not landing it? Comment SPINNING FRIDGE and I’ll send you the full breakdown (and you’ll hear about the name, help me make it make sense 😅).

Hands up if I’ve pulled this on YOU in a lesson or workshop? 🙋‍♀️🫶

Sending off another sweet couple! What a beautiful dance you’ve created!!! I know I’ve said this before, but it really is incredible how three lessons and some practice can unlock so much skill and a new love for dance!

Here’s to the best life together 💘
