About First Dance Charlotte
First Dance Charlotte is a boutique dance studio specializing in private and group wedding dance workshops, as well as online lessons for engaged couples. They offer instruction for various dance styles and combinations, including traditional slow dances and mash-up surprise dances, for couples of all kinds. The business is centrally located in east Charlotte, serving areas such as Uptown, Southend, Southpark, and beyond. The studio's instructor, Alex, is highly praised by clients for her exceptional skills and teaching methods. She is described as fun, energetic, kind, and helpful, making dance lessons enjoyable and easy for couples with no experience, while also accommodating unique requests. Couples have appreciated the stress-relieving aspect of lessons, serving as built-in date nights during the engagement season. One couple, faced with the challenge of performing the full dance from Dirty Dancing (including the lift), found great success with Alex's guidance. The result was a memorable and cherished experience for both the couple and their guests. Another couple, initially planning only to sway to their chosen song, was encouraged by Alex to try a more intricate routine, which turned out to be a crowd favorite and a lasting memory. In summary, First Dance Charlotte, with its talented instructor Alex, offers a personalized and enjoyable experience for couples looking to enhance their wedding day with a unique and memorable first dance.
Alex was an absolute dream as our first dance choreographer! She made the entire process so much fun and completely took the stress out of learning to dance for our wedding. From the start, she had incredible ideas for our first dance that were flashy and show-stopping, but still totally achievable for two amateurs like us.
What really impressed me was how she balanced our very different styles. My husband was all in for big, bold moves, while I’m much more conservative. Alex crafted a routine that perfectly honored both of our personalities, so we felt confident and comfortable the whole time.

We booked a single lesson with Alex before our wedding simply to feel more comfortable and confident during our first dance. We are so happy we did!
After listening to our song, Alex quickly put together a routine that felt natural, easy to follow, and fit us perfectly. More than anything, she helped us relax and feel confident going into the wedding day. Our first dance felt effortless, and we had so much fun with it. We would highly recommend Alex to any couple looking for a little extra confidence on the dance floor!
Working with Alex was one of the best decisions we made while preparing for my daughter’s wedding. She brought an incredible mix of patience, creativity, and high‑energy enthusiasm that made every session something we genuinely looked forward to.
She didn’t just teach us steps — she crafted a moment. She took the time to understand our personalities, our comfort levels, and the kind of memory we wanted to create. With her guidance, our daddy‑daughter dance became fun, meaningful, and uniquely “us.”
Her ability to keep us relaxed, laughing, and confident turned what could have been a stressful experience into something we’ll cherish forever....read full review
