WEdding WORKSHOP

Wedding Workshop with Helle

Your wedding day is one of the most memorable moments of your life — and your first dance should be something you enjoy, not something you dread. Join Helle for this fun, relaxed 100-minute workshop designed to give wedding couples a real feel for dancing and the confidence to step onto the dance floor with a smile.

Held monthly, this workshop walks you through the essentials: basic ballroom dance steps, a natural intro to get you started, and a beautiful final dip to close out your dance in style. Through Helle's warm, energetic, and approachable teaching style, you'll be surprised how quickly it all comes together — and how much fun you'll have along the way.

This workshop is open to any couple preparing for a wedding moment — fiancés, fathers and daughters, mothers and sons, or anyone who wants to share a special dance on the big day. No prior dance experience needed, just a willingness to move and enjoy the process.

You don’t need dance experience to Have a beautiful First dance

Most couples feel nervous about their first dance. Maybe you've never danced before, or one of you has "two left feet." That's exactly who we work with in the Boston area.

Whether you want an elegant waltz, fun swing, or simple sway-and-turn, I'll teach you how to dance, how to lead/follow and create a “routine” that feels natural for you - not like you're performing on Dancing with the Stars.

  • "Helle taught us all the basic steps we needed for the first dance at our wedding. She was an amazing instructor, keeping each class fun and helpful. She outlined a general plan for the dance without requiring a fully choreographed dance, which was perfect for what we needed and made us feel prepared to dance in front of our friends and family, as well as a skill we can take forward."

    —Edmond Choi

Frequently Asked Questions

  • Most couples start 2-4 months before the wedding. Need something sooner? I offer intensive packages.

  • Perfect! Most of my wedding couples are complete beginners. I'll match the choreography to your comfort level.

  • Absolutely. Bring your first dance song (or ideas), and I'll create choreography that fits the music and your style.

  • Ideally yes, but I can work with one partner if schedules don't align.

  • This is completely normal! I'll adapt the choreography so both partners feel confident.

  • Absolutely not! I believe in teaching you how to dance, how to lead and follow so your “routine” is more organic and not choreographed.
