About First Dance Wellington

director, First Dance Wellinton
Kathryn is the woman behind First Dance Wellington. She is a dedicated and caring teacher and is passionate about using dance to connect people. Kathryn has experienced first hand the power that dance has to deepen relationships, improve communication and, most importantly, bring joy to any (and every) body.
Born and raised in Vancouver, Canada, Kathryn has been dancing most of her life. Kathryn trained in Vancouver, while attending various summer programs on scholarship. Upon graduating, Kathryn was a part of the Ballet British Columbia Mentor Program for 2 years, where she had the opportunity to perform featured roles in works by Emily Molnar, John Alleyne, Simone Orlando, and James Gnam among others. As a dancer, Kathryn has worked with Ballet British Columbia, the plastic orchid factory and Judith Marcuse Projects. She had the pleasure of working with Melanie Demers, Louise Bedard and Austin McCormick while participating in the Springboard Professional Project in Montreal. Her career has taken her across North America and to Asia, where she performed in the Bangkok International Festival with Move: the Company.
Kathryn’s choreography has been featured in Vancouver at events such as Dances for a Small Stage, as well as winning awards at competitions throughout the greater Vancouver area.
Kathryn also holds a bachelor’s degree in Kinesiology from the University of British Columbia, focusing on injury prevention, anatomy and physiology.
Kathryn has been bringing dance to diverse people and places for the past 12 years as a teacher and performer (including teaching hundreds of first dances over the last 7 years in Vancouver and New Zealand). Having relocated with her kiwi partner to Wellington, she is excited to bring her passion and knowledge to whatever her clients’ vision may be!

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ If you're thinking about booking First Dance Wellington, 100% do it! We were apprehensive at first but Kathryn immediately put us at ease and we ended up enjoying learning to dance so much. It is one of the highlights of our wedding journey. We will remember our dance for a lifetime, it never fails to put us in a good mood.

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ We absolutely enjoyed every dance lesson with Kathryn. We had 4 lessons and so worth it! Both of us were complete beginners but Kathryn made us feel so good and confident that we can do it! And the result was a beautiful dance that we will never forget and will keep practicing! Kathryn is an amazing teacher, she will make sure that you both enjoy your first dance while doing it and look amazing on a dance floor. We enjoyed our first wedding dance and cannot wait to see a video and share it with Kathryn! Thank you, Kathryn! :)

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Kathryn choreographed our first dance for us. We are not big on dancing and are not coordinated in any way whatsoever. She made the lessons fun to learn, ran through it all step by step and boosted our confidence. She also records one of your dance run throughs so you can refer back to it if you need to. We paid for two lessons as we wanted a simple dance but there are packages offering more lessons if you want a bit more practice or a more complicated routine. We thoroughly enjoyed learning the dance routine and it was a great way to let our hair down with all the wedding planning!
