About Charles
Charles Cuthbert is the founder and owner of Atlanta Wedding Dance, and the instructor couples trust most when the stakes are high. With over a decade of experience working exclusively with wedding couples, Charles has helped more than 500 pairs walk onto the dance floor feeling confident, relaxed, and ready to enjoy one of the most memorable moments of their wedding day.
Charles started Atlanta Wedding Dance after recognizing a gap in the market: most dance studios teach group classes designed for competitive dancers, not nervous newlyweds. He built his entire program around the beginner — patient, encouraging, and focused on results that look great on the dance floor without requiring years of training.
Whether you have two left feet or just need to polish a few moves, Charles meets you exactly where you are. His lessons are private, pressure-free, and always tailored to your song, your style, and your timeline.
What Charles Specializes In

Waltz, Foxtrot & Slow Dance

Confidence Building
More than steps, Charles teaches you to feel comfortable — so you can actually enjoy your first dance instead of just surviving it.
