Meet
Alexander & Aubrey

The professional ballroom champions behind Your First Dance, and the love story that started it all.

Chapter 1

It started with a dance tryout

It wasn't some grand romantic moment. It started with a few messages, a couple of photos, and a shared goal: they were both looking for a dance partner. Aubrey is six feet tall and had spent years searching for someone who wouldn't disappear beside her on the dance floor. Alexander claimed to be 6'3" or 6'4" depending on the shoes he was wearing.

So Alexander made the three-hour drive to Aubrey's studio for a professional tryout. When she opened the door, her first thought was, “Okay... he might've rounded up a little.” But they decided to give it a shot anyway. And from the moment they started moving, something clicked.

From champions to teachers

Together, Alexander and Aubrey became multiple-time professional ballroom champions and national finalists. But what they loved most wasn't the trophies. It was teaching.

Over the past two decades, they've taught hundreds of wedding couples their first dance. They know what it feels like to step into something new, to be unsure of your footing, to laugh through mistakes, and to experience those little moments of connection that dance creates.

Through all those lessons, they learned something important: most couples don't need a professional studio or weeks of intensive training. They just need clear, patient instruction they can follow at their own pace.

Why we built Your First Dance

The idea was simple: take everything they've learned from 20+ years of teaching wedding couples and put it in an app. Professional-quality instruction, step-by-step breakdowns, all accessible from your living room.

No scheduling conflicts. No expensive studio fees. No pressure. Just you, your partner, and your phone. Because for Alexander and Aubrey, dance isn't just about steps or music. It's about connection, joy, and creating memories that last long after the music stops.
