To plan your timeline, we suggest that you attend one lesson each week leading up to your wedding, then add 1-2 weeks for flexibility if desired.
- 3 Wedding Lessons – start 3 weeks before your wedding
- 5 Wedding Lessons – start 5-6 weeks before your wedding
- 10 Wedding Lessons – start 10-12 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 couples 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.

Beyond The Wedding Dance Prep
If you’ve always wanted to learn to dance and would like to enjoy ballroom dance as something fun to do together, it’s very helpful to begin group classes (or private lessons) six months to one year before your wedding. 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 for a lifetime.
