Kavia & Jarvis’s First Dance | Thinking Out Loud

Take My Hand…

I wondered for awhile how this couple kept improving as quickly as they did. It was obvious that they were practicing, but I couldn’t imagine how since he was frequently on the road as a long-haul trucker. So, I finally asked, and the answer is just the sweetest thing. He would actually park next to other rigs at truck stops and practice his part in the space between them. Meanwhile, she was here doing her part while balancing two jobs and a toddler. Talk about dedication! And as you’ll see, all that hard work totally paid off with a beautiful (and kinda sexy) first dance.

 

So much work on every little detail!

 

Surprising everyone with a beautiful first dance!

Mary Katherine & Phil’s First Dance | Everything

Posted on by catsballroom

 

 

First kiss for the bride and groom.

 

 

And I get to kiss you baby just because I can …

How do you maintain a relationship long distance? Well this couple could probably give us all some pointers, because while they were planning their wedding, he was living here in Memphis and she was nearly 250 miles away in medical school. And they even managed to fit in dance lessons so they could have a first dance as gorgeous as they are.  Score another one for the power of love!

Taking the time to learn together.

 

Worth it!

 

Thanks to the dream team!

Janelle & Stephen – Thinking Out Loud

Posted on by catsballroom

Just thinkin’ bout…

 

 

 

This couple is plenty adventurous (They snowboarded into their wedding!), but one of the first things Janelle said to us was, “We both hate dancing in public.” Well I guess we created a monster (two actually), because by the time the wedding rolled around they had learned not only their first dance choreography, but also some push-pull, merengue, and salsa. They were actually looking forward to dancing at the reception!

 

Learning how to not hate dancing!

  

And he still sweeps her off of her feet!

 

Megan & Bill – The Way You Look Tonight

I will get a glow just thinking of you …

 

 

 

 

 

The apple didn’t fall far from the tree with this pair. Both mathematically inclined and both lovely to work with. No surprise their father-daughter dance turned out so beautifully.

Some good advice for other father-daughter duos.

 

Elegant and Classic!

Best New Year’s Eve Party Ever!

 

 

 

Who doesn’t love a good old-fashioned waltz, especially when it’s danced to a modern and sensual song? And of course, you’d expect a wedding on New Year’s Eve to combine the best of the old and the new. So it’s no surprise that this gorgeous couple looked amazing performing their first dance as they rang out the old year and rang in their new lives together.

Patience, practice, and teamwork!

 

So elegant!

 

Daneen & Eric – Hard to Concentrate

Posted on by catsballroom

All I Want is For You to Be Happy….

As a former gymnast (She even has a move named after her!), this bride was up for anything. Good thing her handsome groom was willing to work as hard as she was, because this upbeat first dance really is packed with goodies.

 

Plenty of concentration here.

 

Gorgeous!

A Sweet & Laid-back Wedding Dance

 

 

Hailing from North Carolina, this couple already had a little bit of shag in their dance toolbox, so it was easy to build from there. The result had a sweet and laid-back feeling (just like them) and they made look easy.

 

Enjoying lessons together.

 

Wowing family and friends at the wedding!

 

So, how did it go?

Stephanie & Will – Hooked On a Feeling

Ooga-Chaka Ooga-Ooga

 

I knew this was going to be a fun couple to work with when Stephanie called to set up their first lesson and told me their wedding dance was going to be to the Guardian’s of the Galaxy theme song! What we created with them was fun and lively, yet still romantic. Unfortunately, there was a miscue with the DJ and we’ll never get to see the actual first dance, but this practice session offers a pretty good peek at how it would have gone.

 

So sassy!

Jacque & Datubo – So High

Fresh as a Ocean Breeze

This couple just proves the old saying “Where there’s a will, there’s a way.” You see, while they were taking lessons one of them was living in Memphis and the other in St. Louis. Talk about dedication! Completing this routine took a lot of planning, but it was all worth it when they had their gorgeous and romantic first dance on the beach at sunset.

Teamwork gets it done.
Tropical perfection!
