    I’ve found the best dance teacher in Melbourne!

    I couldn’t have imagined a more supportive, enjoyable and transformational experience than the one I had with Love In Motion Co. When my fiancée and I decided to learn our first dance for our wedding at Vogue Ballroom, I was a complete novice—someone who had two left feet and zero confidence on the dance floor. The thought of standing under those lights in front of family and friends was terrifying. From the moment I reached out to LIMCO, however, all of that anxiety began to melt away.

    Overcoming Pre-Wedding Jitters & A Welcoming Consultation

    Our journey started with a complimentary consultation over Zoom. Andrea welcomed me with a genuine warmth that immediately put me at ease. She patiently listened as I explained my fears—tripping over my own feet, forgetting the steps, looking awkward—and my hopes: a routine that felt natural, fun, and true to our personalities. Rather than promising a flashy, complicated routine, she emphasised simplicity and authenticity, assuring me that our wedding dance would feel like us. That honesty and clarity built trust right away, and I walked away from that first call feeling genuinely excited.

    Crafting a Personalised Dance Plan

    Next came the personalised dance plan. Andrea sent through a detailed outline that broke our chosen song into manageable sections, mapped out the steps, and suggested styling touches that would elevate our movements without feeling forced. She even offered tips on posture, hand placement and musicality—small details I would never have thought about. We fine-tuned the routine together, tweaking arm lines and timing until it perfectly captured the song’s emotion and our shared energy. That collaborative approach made me feel like an active participant rather than a student; I knew this dance would truly belong to us.

    Transformative Private Lessons

    Our private lessons were the highlight. Andrea’s teaching style is equal parts encouraging and precise. She uses clear, jargon-free language and demonstrates each move slowly, then picks it up to tempo. Whenever I stumbled, her feedback was patient and practical—she’d say, “Let’s try shifting your weight this way,” or “Think of leading with your chest instead of your hand.” There was no shame in mistakes, only a positive focus on progress. Each session felt like an empowering conversation set to music, and after just a few lessons I noticed my confidence soaring.

    Final Rehearsal at Vogue Ballroom

    As our wedding day approached, we scheduled a final rehearsal at Vogue Ballroom itself. Walking into that gorgeous venue before the guests arrived was surreal. Andrea and I took over the polished dance floor, and she guided me through the routine one last time under the actual lighting and acoustics we’d face that night. She pinpointed potential hazards—slippery spots on the floor, how to adjust for the rose petals lining the aisle—and offered practical advice on timing entrances based on the live band’s break in their set. That level of foresight meant I felt fully prepared for every variable.

    The Moment We Took the Floor

    When the evening finally arrived, and the moment of our first dance was announced, all the nerves melted away. The music began, and I stepped onto the floor with my wife-to-be, feeling calm and grounded. The routine flowed exactly as we’d practised: the smooth turns, the gentle dips, the natural smiles we’d rehearsed in the mirror. Instead of worrying about stepping on each other’s toes, we were lost in the moment—laughing, connecting eye to eye, sharing that intimate space. Our guests erupted into applause at the end, and I could see pride and joy on their faces. It was everything I’d hoped for and more.

    Looking back, what impressed me most was how LIMCO balanced professionalism with genuine care. Every email, phone call and studio session reinforced that they weren’t just teaching dance steps—they were helping us create an unforgettable memory. The transparency around pricing, the flexible scheduling when our work demands got crazy, and the simple follow-up message asking how I felt after the wedding all spoke volumes about their integrity and commitment.

    To anyone who hesitates because they think they can’t dance, I can’t recommend Love In Motion Co. highly enough. If you’re planning your first dance at a venue like Vogue Ballroom—or anywhere else—Andrea and her team will transform your anxiety into confidence, your awkwardness into grace, and your vision into a reality that feels entirely, authentically you. Our first dance remains one of my favourite moments from our wedding day, and I’ll always be grateful for the care, expertise and warmth that made it possible.
