Weddings

Great question!  The sooner you begin dance lessons, the more comfortable you’ll feel dancing, and the more impressive your dancing will be on your wedding day. But if you start too soon, you’ll lose momentum and forget your moves.

To plan your timeline we suggest that you take one lesson per week prior to your wedding, then add one or two weeks for flexibility if desired.

• 3 wedding lessons – start 3 weeks before your wedding
• 5 wedding lessons – start 6 weeks before your wedding
• 10 wedding lessons – start 12 weeks before your wedding

You’ll get increasingly busy as your wedding day approaches so it’s nice to have extra time built in should you need to skip a week.  Also, some couple find that they’d like to schedule one or two extra lessons to practice at the studio and feel extra prepared for their time in the spotlight.

So, for example, if you and your fiancé choose our package of 5 wedding dance lessons you’ll have five weeks of lessons.  Adding one week for flexibility means you should begin lessons six week prior to your wedding.

We’ve found that this timeline suits the needs of most couples if their goal is learn to dance to strictly for their wedding dance.  But if you’ve always wanted to learn to dance, would like to learn dances for other occasions, or are looking for a fun hobby to share with your future spouse, it is very helpful to begin private lessons or group classes six months to one year in advance.  The skills and confidence you’ll gain will greatly assist you as you prepare for your wedding dance, and you’ll be able to enjoy dancing with your sweetheart at parties, events, and of course weddings!

Dance lessons will help you both feel comfortable and confident so you can enjoy your first dance together.  To make things easy, we offer three wedding dance programs.  So you may choose the one that suits your desires, your timeline, and your budget.

• Our smallest package is three wedding lessons.  This is plenty of time to learn a few basic steps with a simple intro and a nice ending. And it’s perfect for couples who want to keep things simple and classic.  This is also a great option for couples with limited time or budget to prepare for their wedding dance.

• Our most popular package is five wedding lessons.  With this package you’ll learn a full choreography of achievable steps that sure to wow your guests.  This option allows you additional time to practice and feel more comfortable dancing with your partner.

• Our largest package is ten wedding lessons.  This is a wonderful choice for couples who want to do something unique and extra special with their first dance.  With this program your first dance will be truly spectacular and a highlight of the evening!
• And no matter which option you choose you can always add on extra lessons if you want more practice.

Yes, of course you can! If that works for you; that’s great. But we’ve found that most non-professionals have trouble picking up choreography from a video and making it look good with a partner. We’ve had more than one couple come to us for help after trying to learn a dance online…

Many of the flashy wedding dance videos you see online are performed by professionals. Their years of training make it look easy; but it doesn’t always look so good when you try it at home.

The other benefit to coming to our studio is we’ll create a custom choreography for YOU based on your skills, your personality, and your vision. With all the stress of planning a wedding, it’s nice to have someone take care you.

When you sign up for our wedding package, you simply pick a song and show up to the studio – we’ll take care of the rest: creating a special routine, teaching you step by step, sharing tips that make your dance look and feel great, and give you time and space to practice so you feel confident and excited for wedding dance.

All of our wedding packages are designed for absolute beginners who don’t feel super confident on the dance floor. You can have a beautiful dance and be successful with any of our packages.

The difference is more lessons you take, the more intricate and exciting we can make your dance. But no matter if you choose 3, 5, or 10 lesson – you’ll feel confident and ready on your wedding day.

And of course, you can always add more lessons if you want more time to practice and feel extra prepared.

We can help you select a song if you have a few choices and can’t decide. But it saves time if you choose a song together before your first lesson.

Our top tips for picking your wedding dance song:

• Pick a song that’s special and meaningful to BOTH of you. If you have a favorite artist that your fiancé doesn’t like, pick something else.
• Pick a song that will stand the test of time.
• Pick a song that speaks to your love, your feelings, and your relationship.
• Don’t worry about the tempo or style of dance. We can create a first dance for any song.
• Bonus points if you pick a song that matches the vibe of your wedding: sophisticated, country, fun ect.
• Pick a song that expresses your personalities (sexy, fun, romantic, ect).
• Make sure the lyrics and song story are appropriate for a wedding.
• Remember this will be the song you will dance to for the rest of your lives. Make it a great one!
