We offer a huge range of Adult Dance, fitness and Wellness classes for all abilities. The studio is based in Woking but we also offer an online live streaming Zoom timetable as well as recordings of classes. As well as many events, shows and workshops throughout the year, we also provide First Dance wedding tuition as one-off lessons or a package of three.
We would love to see you at the studio. Come along, join in the fun, and be part of the First Dance Family! The studio was set up in 2005 running only a handful of classes. Today, we run almost 30 classes each week, with 11 teachers, a host of wonderful dancers and singers, and put on a fantastic show every other year.

Emma is the most amazing dance director, teacher, dancer, friend, sister, all rounder super star here at First Dance Studios. A graduate of the Jazz Dance School and Bodyworks, Emma has been throwing serious shapes since she was a toddler. She hails from a dancing dynasty and continues to bring stellar productions, routines, teachers and jazz hands to the studios.
You should ideally think about starting lessons anywhere around 4-12 weeks before the wedding. If you start any earlier, you could forget everything - or get bored of it. If you'd like to book the package, then we can split the 3 x 1hr lessons into 2 x 1hr 30mins lessons to save on travelling - or if you live even further away, we can teach you the whole thing in one day!
In 2006, we started the Friends Scheme. It was a big birthday for Wendy Arthur (she likes to be known as the "1st Friend"). Her pal Janice Woods wanted to buy her something a little different so she chatted to me about potentially doing something similar to the Royal Ballet. What a good idea I thought!
Situated within Prime Acrobatics and set in the wetlands, we are extremely lucky to have our studio in this beautiful setting - with ample parking and a caf on site. With a mix of classes for all levels of dance abilities, First Dance Studios has over 25 classes to discover. Shows are open to all and all levels of dance ability.

I recently completed the Tap Basics course with Karen. As a non-tapper, I found this course absolutely fantastic and Karen's teaching was spot on in ensuring we learnt the basics properly but also at a pace which meant we could all actually dance tap by the end of the 6 weeks! I'm now able to join the other weekly tap classes at the studio and continue building my tap skills and enjoy it all! The studio has a lovely community and inclusive feel which made the whole experience a really great one.

Having tapped in the past but not for some time, I felt a tad rusty and wanted to get to grips with the fundamentals again. I signed up for the Tap Basics course and was not disappointed! It is perfect for brand new tappers and those returning to it. Karen is an excellent teacher - really friendly and put us all at ease immediately.
I really appreciated how she broke down each step and sequence and provided different ways to remember each move. She drills the steps home through repetition (which is vital) and concentrates on the technical aspects before building a short routine. She also provides

We booked Emma to help us with our first dance for our wedding. We enjoyed the dance lessons- much more than expected! It gave us the tools to have a simple yet impressive first dance, we received lots of compliments on it and we’re happy we did the lessons rather than just swayed together for a minute! Emma is so much fun and a great teacher who created a unique routine for us and tailored it for our abilities. We moved our wedding due to covid - Emma was also great at lifting our spirits throughout the uncertainty- would highly recommend :)

I did the Tap Basics course - it was a brilliant introduction to learning the fundamentals of tap and has re-ignited my love of it, after not doing tap since I was about 11! Karen is an excellent teacher: breaking it down into understandable chunks, really encouraging and having a laugh along the way too. Highly recommend as a first step back into tapping!
