What We Do

The Dance offers private bespoke classes to help couples prepare for their very special day.

Founded by West End choreographer and Movement Director, Chi-San Howard, The Dance works hand in hand with every couple, taking a fun, relaxed and shared approach to creating the perfect first dance for your wedding day.

Whether you’re looking for a relaxed and simple intimate moment or a show-stopping choreographed number, we believe that every couple deserves to feel confident, at ease and their very best on the dance floor. We also believe that the process should be every bit as joyful an experience as the final product. We strive to provide a pressure free environment, where we can move at a pace that feels most comfortable for you with classes designed to guide you step by step no matter the skill level All classes are held in the comfort and privacy of your own home.

So whether you’re a complete beginner, a long time lover of the dance floor or anywhere in-between, we’ll be with you every step of the way to ensure you’re ready for The Dance.

Chi-San Howard has been a professional Movement Director and West End Choreographer for nearly a decade. She is the choreographer on the multi-Olivier Award winning musical, The Curious Case of Benjamin Button. Her work has been seen across multiple platforms including The Globe, National Theatre, Old Vic, Royal Shakespeare Company, royal court and HBO. She has also worked with a number of high profile performers including Lily Allen, Steven Mangan, Bel Powley, Susan Wokoma, Greg Wise, James McCardle and Maxine Peake amongst many others.

In her work as both Movement Director and Choreographer, Chi-San specialises in working with those with no dance experience at all, providing clear, non judgemental guidance that is gentle, encouraging, warm and full of humour. Chi-San believes that every couple should have a first dance that is as special and joyful as the couple themselves. She also understands how nerve-wracking getting up and dancing in front of any kind of audience can be. She feels deeply that every body and every person should feel their best on the dance floor and so works hard with you to make sure you have the perfect dance to match your perfect day.
