"Kiss
From a Rose" by Seal
Waltz/Minuet
"What we loved about taking
classes is that Roberto was able to enjoy himself during our
1st dance. He came down with a virus two days before our
Wedding and was heavily medicated the entire day.
I was afraid he wasn't going to make it throught he night !
But once the dance started ...and EVERYONE started to cheer
for us...and we did those complicated turns...it was all good
from there. Thank you SO much for the time you spent
with both of us - and with Roberto because he is an organized
dancer...Great Job !

From Brandis:
Ceflyn and Roberto gave me a challenge with their song - it
is a Waltz, but not a typical slow waltz, in fact it was
nearly as fast as a European Viennese Waltz. Roberto had no
previous formal dance experience, and the Viennese Waltz
requires much training and experience.
We also only had two months, and Ceflyn's gown was also
brushing the ground. Still the song was their heart's
desire , and they were willing to take the time and as much
training as possible to make this happen.
As the music also had a mintrel quaility to it, we decided
to create a Minuet. This worked out quite well; the
Minuet combinations expressed this Waltz music nicely,
accomodated the floor length gown, and gave Ceflyn the
chance to express her dance ability without being quite so
difficult on Roberto. We also put in some interesting
open turns, and I'm thrilled that they were able to pull it
off, even with Roberto under the weather !
It is my goal for every Wedding Couple who comes to me to
experience cheers from the crowd as they dance on their
Wedding Day, and I'm so pleased that Ceflyn and Roberto
experienced this.
Good Luck to you both, and we look forward to seeing you
again soon.
