We spoke to the owner, Emma Harris to find out more: “In 2000, some of my friends asked me to help choreograph their first dance. I was surprised at first, but after a bottle of red wine, I taught them how to waltz in their kitchen. I then attended their wedding, and the guests went wild for the dance. After that, I set up First Dance and have never looked back. It was the years before Strictly Come Dancing and preparing a routine was something completely new. The company has now seen thousands of people, and it has been an absolute pleasure to help them. I’ve remained good friends with many of my clients, and one couple even became my son’s godparents.” Check out firstdance.co.uk for more. YOUR ESSENTIALS 9
