Private Lessons For Wedding Dances

How many lessons will you need? It widely varies as to the number of lessons couples decide they need in order to feel comfortable and look good for their first dance. If the dance is a very slow romantic tune and that is the only song or type of music you need to learn to dance to, three hours of lessons is the average choice,
five hours would have you highly polished, and one or two hours may potentially be enough. It depends on how polished you want to be, and how relaxed and/or experienced you and your partner already are when dancing together at this point in time.

What style of dance should you learn? Very slow-tempo songs (i.e. "At Last" by Etta James) will require you to learn a mellow slow dancing technique, sometimes called "schmooze foxtrot". If your song is not that slow, perhaps more mid-tempo as in "It Had to Be You" or one of the Sinatra-style tunes, you may want to learn foxtrot, a classic ballroom dance which is a bit more structured than slow dance/schmooze foxtrot. (We don't recommend choreographing a "routine"; that is tremendously time-consuming and usually ends up looking stiff and unnatural. We won't allow you to end up dancing robotically while moving your lips, resembling a deer in the headlights, as your guests look on with morbid fascination. Awkward!)

Can you dance to something really different? Absolutely! We guarantee you: if it has a beat, we can teach you to dance to it. Your first dance is a unique expression of you, and you need not feel obligated to fit any mold.

 

Student Testimonial

"We had the most wonderful time; never having taken partner dance lessons you immediately made us feel comfortable and excited. We had such a great time learning swing, and as two teachers we couldn’t stop raving about what a great teacher you are and how wonderful your style was. "
