Our Suffolk County location creates a welcoming environment where beginners feel comfortable taking their first steps, while experienced dancers can refine their technique and explore new styles.
Private Dance Instruction Process
First, you’ll have a conversation about your goals and experience level. Are you preparing for a wedding? Want to learn social dancing? Looking to try something new for fitness? This helps us determine the best approach for your lessons.
Next comes your first lesson, where you’ll get a feel for our studio environment and start with basic movements. No pressure to be perfect – just focus on getting comfortable with the rhythm and your instructor’s teaching style.
From there, lessons build progressively. You’ll work on technique, timing, and confidence at a pace that makes sense for your schedule and learning style. Many students are surprised how quickly they start feeling natural on the dance floor when the instruction is tailored specifically to them.

Wedding Dance Choreography Westhampton
Your wedding dance should feel like you, not like someone else’s routine. We create custom choreography that matches your personality, song choice, and comfort level. Whether you want something elegant and traditional or fun and contemporary, our approach is always personalized.
Westhampton couples particularly appreciate our flexibility in scheduling, since wedding planning gets hectic. Lessons can be arranged around your timeline, with intensive sessions available if you’re working with a shorter timeframe.
We also offer instruction in multiple dance styles popular at Suffolk County weddings – from classic Waltz and Foxtrot to Latin styles like Salsa and Cha-Cha. Group dance classes are available for wedding parties who want to learn together, making the reception even more memorable for everyone involved.
How long does it take to learn a wedding dance?
Most couples need 4-8 private lessons to feel confident with their wedding dance, depending on the complexity of the choreography and your starting experience level. If you’re complete beginners choosing a simple, elegant routine, you might feel ready in 4-5 lessons.
For more elaborate choreography or if you want to incorporate lifts or dramatic elements, plan for 6-8 lessons. The key is starting early enough that you’re not stressed about learning everything at the last minute.
We’ll work with your timeline and help you choose choreography that’s achievable within your timeframe. Many couples find they actually want to continue lessons after the wedding because they enjoyed the process so much.
What should I wear to my first dance class?
Comfortable clothing that allows you to move freely is the most important thing. Think workout clothes or casual attire – nothing too restrictive or formal. Avoid jeans or anything too baggy that might get in the way.
For shoes, avoid anything with rubber soles that might stick to the floor. Leather-soled shoes work well, or you can dance in socks initially. Many students invest in proper dance shoes after a few lessons, but it’s not necessary to start.
If you’re taking ballroom lessons specifically, we can recommend appropriate dance shoes that will help with your technique and comfort as you progress. We can provide guidance on where to find quality dance shoes in the Suffolk County area.
Do you offer group dance classes or just private lessons?
Both options are available, though we specialize in private instruction because of the personalized attention it allows. Private lessons let your instructor focus entirely on your specific needs, learning pace, and goals without having to accommodate a group dynamic.
Group dance classes are offered for certain styles and skill levels, and they’re particularly popular for wedding parties or couples who want to learn together. Group classes create a fun, social atmosphere while still providing professional instruction.
Many students actually prefer starting with private lessons to build confidence and basic technique, then joining group classes later for the social aspect and additional practice opportunities. We can help you decide which format works best for your goals and comfort level.
What dance styles do you teach at the studio?
We offer instruction in a wide variety of ballroom and Latin dance styles. Popular ballroom dances include Waltz, Foxtrot, and Tango, while Latin styles include Salsa, Cha-Cha, Rumba, and Merengue. We also teach Swing dancing and country line dancing.
For weddings, the most requested styles are Waltz for traditional couples and Salsa or Swing for those wanting something more upbeat and fun. We’ll help you choose the style that best matches your music selection and personal preferences.
If you’re interested in social dancing, we can teach you the essential styles you’ll encounter at most events in the Suffolk County area. Many students enjoy learning multiple styles over time, starting with one that appeals to them most and expanding their repertoire as their confidence grows.
How much do dance lessons cost in Westhampton?
Lesson pricing varies based on whether you choose private instruction or group classes, and package deals are available for multiple lessons. Private lessons typically offer the best value for wedding preparation since you’ll learn more efficiently with personalized attention.
We offer flexible payment options and package deals that make regular lessons more affordable. Many couples find that investing in a lesson package for wedding preparation is more cost-effective than paying per individual lesson.
For specific pricing information and current package deals, it’s best to call us directly at 631-868-3500. We can discuss your goals and recommend the most cost-effective lesson plan for your needs and timeline.
Can complete beginners take dance lessons, or do I need some experience?
Complete beginners are absolutely welcome – in fact, most students start with no dance experience at all. Our instructors are skilled at working with nervous beginners and know how to make the first lesson comfortable and encouraging rather than overwhelming.
Starting as a beginner actually has advantages because you won’t have to unlearn any bad habits or incorrect technique. We can build your skills properly from the ground up, focusing on good posture, basic timing, and confidence before moving to more complex movements.
Many students are surprised how quickly they progress when starting from scratch with proper instruction. The key is having realistic expectations and trusting the process – most people feel much more comfortable by their second or third lesson as they start to understand the basic rhythm and movements.
