We’re Elizabeth & James.
We can’t wait to help you build the first dance of your dreams.
We met on the dance floor in 2019, started dating right away, and got married in 2022. We teach dance together at our studio The Space in Bend, Oregon.
We began First Dance Ready when we realized what a big difference planning for your first dance can make, and how passionate we are about making that an accessible goal for as many couples as possible. We believe that learning to dance should be a highlight of your wedding planning and make for lighthearted date nights in the process.
The skills you’ll learn with us will add magic to your first dance, structure to your parent dance, and give you skills to dance the night away during your reception.
Questions? Reach out! We’d love to chat and can’t wait to work with you more.
