A few tips to keep in mind,
Picking the Song
Your wedding dance song is unique to you and your special day. Traditional slow songs, fast swing tunes or a sultry Latin vibe can all work, If you need help picking a song, we can make a few recommendations. In your email note send a few songs you like and we can gain a good understanding of what dance style would match your music.
After the song is agreed upon, your instructor will determine which dance style is best suited for your music and he/she will begin to choreograph the steps. You’ll not only receive choreographed instruction, but also essential pieces that add finesse to the event such as; how to lead a bride onto the dance floor, taking the “dance hold”, punctuating movements with style, picture perfect dips, graceful endings, and a proper escort off the floor.
Planning Lesson Time
It's a good idea to start lessons at least two months prior to the wedding day. Typically, 5-6 lessons will give you a lovely dance sure to wow your guests. You’ll also need to plan home practice time. We recommend at least one hour of practice for each lesson.
If you've left this for the last minute, we can arrange emergency sessions for you! We realize the many demands on your time in the days before a wedding, so we can keep it simple and fun!
Family and Friends
We welcome parents, family, and friends to learn to dance for your special occasion. Father/Daughter, Mother/Son, and Mother/Daughter dances can also be unique and memorable. All are welcome to take either group classes or private lessons. We can also arrange semi-private classes for a group.
