Dance Johanna Et Alexis Bergeon

Johanna and Alexis Bergeon are former high-level competitive dancers in sport dance with 20 years of competitive experience. They teach from their studio in Villeurbanne, close to Cusset metro station, offering classes for both recreational learners and competitive dancers.

Their primary service is choreography and training for wedding first dances (ouvertures de bal). For most couples, 6 lessons are sufficient to create a personalized 2 minutes 30 seconds choreography set to one or two songs—typically a slow number followed by something more rhythmic. For more elaborate choreographies or musical montages with more than three songs, they recommend 10 lessons. They propose different packages tailored to all couples, including complete beginners. Ideally, couples should start 3 to 4 months before the wedding, though intensive programs are available for shorter timescales. Johanna and Alexis film every lesson so you can practice at home. They work with your choice of music and help you select the best passages for choreography or suggest arrangements if needed; they can also share a playlist of around 100 song titles if you need suggestions. For the final lesson before the wedding day, they recommend bringing your actual wedding shoes to grow comfortable in them. No dance experience is required—the majority of their students are complete beginners, and they adapt each lesson to your level and pace.

Beyond wedding training, they teach competitive dance classes for dancers at all levels, from beginners to advanced. They also offer private lessons for couples who want to learn together but prefer not to join group classes, plus online lessons so you can learn from home. The studio can be hired for private use. They perform shows throughout France.
