The most beautiful tradition, with a focus on the moment

I passionately love to perform your opening dance live, focusing on what really matters at that moment: the message, the emotion, the love.

I will help you make the shift from just a dance to a special and unforgettable moment.

Dance lessons for your first dance

(or not
)

The big advantage of a live opening dance at your wedding is that it no longer matters what exactly you do or dance. The value of the moment is already guaranteed.

A fully choreographed routine, the occasional spin or dip, or just a tile sticker: choose whatever feels comfortable for you.

You can count on me for an accurate demo on which you can take your dance lessons. But I will also give you a demo recording for evenings when you want to get used to it and enjoy it at home.

After the opening dance

My band

Book our full wedding band to get the party started right after the opening dance (we also perform your opening dance live with a full band for a fantastic impact).

A DJ

Ask about my concept of the acoustic transition for a crazy effect. I bring a second acoustic song and the DJ mixes in the beats version of it on my instructions. Guaranteed to fill the dance floor!

The opening dance live as part of the theme of your wedding

I would love to work with you to figure out how we can use music as a common thread throughout your wedding day, for example during your ceremony or reception. Everything you hear will be carefully curated.

Inspiration for songs for your first dance

(thank me later)

The song for your first dance never has to come from my repertoire, but you are free to choose. Feel free to get inspired by my Spotify list of first dance-proof songs.

We always check together whether the tempo is right for you (or I adjust the tempo of my version) and which instrument (guitar or piano are both possible) will give the best effect.

Frequently asked questions about a live opening dance

  • When you book me solo for your opening dance, I can perform it with guitar or piano accompaniment. We will choose the instrument that best suits the song you have chosen. I am happy to advise you!

  • Absolutely not! You can choose the intensity that best suits the concept of your day. I am, of course, happy to advise you. Are you going for our full band to fill the dance floor or get the party started after the opening dance? Then, of course, the opening dance will also be with the full band. The opening dance as a duo with vocals, acoustic guitar, and bass guitar is also an option. What a vibe!

  • I've got you covered! It's precisely because I add so much value to the moment with the live version of your chosen song that you are less in the spotlight, without having to put on a whole show. Your guests won't be looking at me, they'll be looking at you, but in a different way. The experience becomes greater and more senses are appealed to, so the focus is more on the moment rather than on your dance moves in the middle of the dance floor.

  • If I am allowed to provide you with a full day of live music—which is what I love to do and do best—there is often a gap of several hours between the end of the live music at the reception or walking dinner and the opening dance. Don't worry about that, because I undoubtedly still have work to do to tidy up the sound equipment, move it, set up for the opening dance, and do a quick sound check or coordinate with the DJ, videographer, or photographer. In the little time that remains, I like to grab a bite to eat and sometimes I also grab my laptop to catch up on some work or edit your ceremony recordings. I definitely know what I'm doing!
