If a couple is planning to get married, here are a few TIPS from the experts on learning to dance for their big day.
~Don’t wait until the last minute. Remember that the schedule will get very hectic as the wedding day approaches. Dance instructors recommend starting four to six months earlier to allow more time for practice, especially if our students are newcomers to dancing.
~It’s OK if you haven’t chosen a song. On your very first lesson we will introduce you to the main dances most couples use. We can help make suggestions depending on which dance you like and do the best. If you already have a song chosen, bring it with you!
~Be patient when learning. Dancing is a great stress reliever, and a fun date night, so don’t put too much pressure on each other.
~Don’t try to teach your fiance. You’ll both have a lot more fun dancing if you let your instructor do the teaching.
~Practice in the right shoes. Wear shoes to your lessons that are similar to the ones you’ll be wearing on the big day.
~Be consistent with your appointments. The more often you come in, the less review there will be on each lesson.
~Plan at least once a week to get the most from your lessons.
~Use the classes & practices when possible. Everyone feels most comfortable on a private lesson, but the classes and parties will be closer to what the rest of your reception will be like, and the teachers will be there to help!
Q: How many lessons do we need for our first dance?
A: Most couples feel confident and “reception-ready” with 5 to 10 lessons. If you want a fully choreographed routine with a “wow” factor, we recommend starting at least 3 months before your big day.
Q: What if we have “two left feet” and no dance experience?
A: That is our specialty! 90% of our wedding clients have never stepped foot in a dance studio. We focus on making you look natural and relaxed, so you can enjoy the moment instead of worrying about the steps.
Q: Can you help us choose a song?
A: Absolutely. If you’re undecided, bring a few options to your first lesson. We can help you determine which dance styles (like Waltz, Rumba, or Swing) fit the tempo and mood of each song.
Q: Will our wedding attire affect our dance?
A: Yes! We always discuss your shoes and the style of the dress during lessons. We recommend bringing your wedding shoes (or a similar pair) to the final few rehearsals so you can get used to the movement.
Q: Do you offer lessons for the Father-Daughter or Mother-Son dance?
A: Yes, we encourage the whole family to get involved! We can coordinate lessons for parents or even a surprise group routine for the entire bridal party.
