Ever Wonder How Couples Dance Together With Ease?
We’re going to share our story, and prove that you have what it takes to dance the night away in the arms of the one you love. Yes, even if you’ve never danced before!
Hi, We’re Leigh and Rich.
We’re the owners of Upbeat Dance Studio, and we’ve helped hundreds of couples learn to dance for all sorts of special occasions - from weddings and social events, to date nights and more. But we haven’t always been this comfortable dancing together.
You’re about to find out what drew us to the dance floor, back when we had two left feet and not a clue what we were doing. And how dancing can impact your life in the most unexpected ways.
How it all began...
Like most couples, the only form of partner dancing we knew was that old “hug-n-sway” everyone did back in Middle School. And that type of dancing served us well, until our wedding day.
The DJ announced us onto the floor, all eyes were on us, and we froze with fear, like a deer in the headlights.
To our surprise, rocking back-and-forth for an entire song felt awkward for such a special occasion. And it didn’t live up to the magical moment we had hoped for.
But, what started out as our biggest wedding regret, soon became our greatest motivation.
What happened next…
After experiencing our cringeworthy first dance, and watching other coupes dance the night away, we realized how much fun we were missing out on.
We decided to sign up for our very first dance class and from then on, the joy of dancing swept us off our feet.
Dance lessons turned into performing with a dance team, competing in national competitions, and dancing every chance we could. But, that wasn’t all.
We also noticed some unexpected benefits happening beyond the dance floor.
Where it all led…
Some of our most memorable moments have been made on the dance floor, and while developing the skills to dance has been beyond rewarding, the biggest benefit has been the impact it’s had on our relationship.
The more we dance, the more fun we have, the more confident we feel, and the closer we are as a couple.
And, because we believe dancing is one of the best activities you can do as a couple, we’ve spent the better part of our marriage teaching and spreading our love of dance with others.
