Cork

One Session.
A First Dance to Remember.

Wedding dance lessons in Cork with First Dance Academy are taught personally by Anthony — the founder, choreographer, and Salsa World Championship Finalist who has spent over two decades helping couples dance with genuine confidence.

Every lesson is private and built entirely around you. There's no group class, no generic routine. Before your session, we'll send you a video catalogue of moves — you pick the ones you like, tell us your song, and Anthony builds a choreography that suits your style and what you're comfortable with.

From the session you leave with a complete routine and an online tutorial to practise from home. Anthony is available for video feedback right up to your wedding day.

Anthony Auffret — Wedding Dance Choreographer, Clonakilty Cork

Your Cork Choreographer

Anthony Auffret

Founder · First Dance Academy

Anthony has been teaching dance professionally for over 20 years. Originally from France, he's now based in West Cork — and it's here that he does some of his most personal, rewarding work, teaching couples the dance that will open their wedding.

His competitive background in Latin dance — reaching the final of the Salsa World Championships in 2002 — gives him a level of technical authority that very few wedding dance instructors in Ireland can match. But what makes his teaching exceptional isn't the competition history. It's what he does with couples who walk in saying they can't dance.

By the end of a single session, they can. And they look good doing it.

Fiona was very nervous — so was I — but we held it together and remembered most of the moves. No one noticed the bits we didn't remember perfectly and we got plenty of compliments. It allowed us to have the confidence to do the dance when the time came. We crushed it.
