The First Dance — Marit Beentjes

The First Dance by Marit

Alongside my work in the entertainment industry, I am the founder and CEO of The First Dance, a company dedicated to creating unforgettable wedding experiences.

For your day

Bespoke first-dance choreography
Bridesmaids & groomsmen
Family & surprise moments
Movement coaching for engagement & wedding shoots

Specialising in bespoke wedding choreography, I work closely with each couple to design a first dance that reflects their unique story, personalities, and vision. Whether elegant and timeless, fun and energetic, or completely one of a kind.

Beyond first dances, I choreograph performances for bridesmaids, groomsmen, family members, and surprise wedding moments, creating memorable experiences that bring guests together and make every celebration truly personal. I also provide movement coaching for engagement and wedding photoshoots, helping couples feel relaxed, confident, and natural in front of the camera, resulting in authentic and beautiful images.

With a professional background in choreography, stage direction, and performance coaching, I combine creativity, technical expertise, and a warm, supportive approach to guide every couple throughout the process. My goal is to make every rehearsal enjoyable, stress-free, and filled with confidence, so that on their wedding day they can simply be present, enjoy the moment, and create memories that will last a lifetime.
