Dawn Gilbertson

Dawn Gilbertson is the instructor behind First Dance Saint Louis, a boutique wedding dance service based in the Grand Center arts district. Dawn works one-on-one with couples -- and often with mothers, fathers and wedding parties too -- to build a confident, tailor-made first dance from scratch, no experience required. Lessons typically run in the month leading up to the wedding, with flexible scheduling around evenings and Sunday sessions. Her approach is warm and encouraging, helping nervous first-timers feel steady and prepared before the big day.
