We have worked with many bridal couples over the years. We will work with you on “your dance” with choreography from the beginning to the end of “your song” or we will teach you steps that allow you to improvise.
Pick out “your song” and we will help you determine which dance best fits “your song”. If you have a certain dance you would like to
perform, we can recommend songs that will fit that type of dance.

Picture it: it’s your wedding day. You’ve spent the last year ironing out every detail to make it the perfect day. Your dress is everything you’ve dreamed of since you were a little girl. The cake is stunning, the decorations are beautiful, and the bridesmaids are beaming. There isn’t a dry eye in the house as the MC announces the first dance of the new couple.
The band starts to play “your” song, and your new husband leads you out on the floor. He takes you in his arms and…sways back and forth, in one spot, for the next three and a half minutes. What happened? Oh, you forgot to take dance lessons! Why would anyone spend that much time, energy and money on planning the perfect day, but leave out this one important detail? We have helped many couples prepare for their first dance as husband & wife and we have assembled a list of frequently asked questions & questions you need to ask.
How many lessons should you take?
This depends on many factors:
How Soon Should We Start Dance Lessons?
At a bare minimum, for average learners who only want to learn a few steps, five hours of Private Lessons are generally sufficient. Allow enough time to practice between your Private Lessons and remember; the last few days/weeks before the Wedding are very busy, so plan to start your dance lessons early enough to practice so you feel comfortable on the dance floor for “your” song.
Depending on what package you are going to select, start your lessons at a minimum, at least two months before the wedding, so that you can take one per week and have some time left in case you miss a week, decide you need an extra hour or two, or just have too much to do right before the event.
If you want to learn more or are considering Series 1 or 2, consider starting six months to a year before the Wedding Day. You can start by taking some group lessons, which are economical, and start taking Private Lessons once you have decided on a song or have decided on a dance style.
What Dance Should You Learn?
This depends entirely on the song you pick. Pick a song that is meaningful to you, and then, with the help of your instructor, you can determine the dance.
Rumba & Foxtrot are very common dances & can be danced to many different styles of music. You may end up picking a song that is difficult to dance to, but your instructor should be able to help you work it out. It is important that you like the song you pick & that the guests will enjoy it as you are dancing. Don’t be afraid to break from tradition. Some couples will do Swing, ChaCha or even Tango as their first dance!
Is Our Song Too Long?
We recommend that you dance about 2 – 3 minutes. Many people worry that their guests won’t want to watch them dance too long. If your song is longer than 3 minutes, we may be able to burn a CD with a shortened version for your DJ to play.
Even if you are having a band, we recommend that “your song” be a CD so there are no surprises in rhythm changes, length, etc.
Try to have a song picked by your first lesson so we can get you started right away learning to dance to it.

Do you have a special song?
Have you had a chance to look at our bridal packages (see above), and which one appeals to you?
Given that you have enough time before your Wedding, are you open to taking Group Classes before your Private Choreography Lessons, knowing that you will have to change partners in Group Classes?
