How many wedding dance lessons do we need in Cold Spring Harbor, NY?
Most couples need between 5-10 private lessons to feel completely confident on their wedding day. If you’re starting from scratch, we typically recommend 8-10 lessons spread over 2-3 months.
If you already have some dance experience or want something simpler, 5-6 lessons might be perfect. We’ll assess your comfort level during the consultation and create a realistic timeline that fits your wedding date.
The key is starting early enough that you’re not stressed about learning everything at the last minute. We’ve successfully prepared couples with just 3-4 weeks notice, but more time always means better results and less pressure.
What dance styles work best for wedding first dances?
The Waltz and Foxtrot are the most popular choices because they’re elegant, romantic, and work with most wedding songs. They’re also relatively easy to learn and look sophisticated without requiring advanced technique.
For couples who want something more energetic, we often recommend Swing or a simple Cha-Cha. These styles add personality while still being manageable for beginners.
The most important factor is choosing a style that matches your song and your personalities. We’ll listen to your music and discuss your vision before recommending the best approach for your specific situation.
Can you help us if we've never danced before?
Absolutely—most of our wedding couples are complete beginners. We specialize in teaching people who have never taken a dance lesson in their lives.
We start with the absolute basics: how to hold each other, basic posture, and simple weight shifts. Everything builds from there in small, manageable steps that won’t overwhelm you.
Our approach is patient and encouraging. There’s no judgment here, just practical instruction that gets you from nervous beginner to confident dancer. We’ve taught everyone from couples in their twenties to those in their sixties and beyond.
How far in advance should we book wedding dance lessons?
Ideally, start your wedding dance lessons 3-4 months before your wedding date. This gives you plenty of time to learn without feeling rushed, and allows for extra practice sessions if needed.
That said, we’ve successfully prepared couples with much shorter timelines. Even 4-6 weeks can be enough for a beautiful, simple routine if you’re consistent with lessons and practice.
The earlier you start, the more options you have for choreography complexity and the more relaxed you’ll feel about the whole process. Plus, dance lessons can actually be a fun stress-relief activity during hectic wedding planning.
What should we wear to our wedding dance lessons?
Wear comfortable clothes that allow you to move freely—think workout clothes or casual attire. Avoid anything too loose or baggy that might get in the way of learning proper technique.
For shoes, ladies should wear something with a slight heel if you plan to wear heels on your wedding day. Avoid rubber soles that stick to the floor. Men should wear dress shoes or something similar to their wedding shoes.
Don’t worry about buying special dance shoes unless you want to. We’ll help you figure out what works best based on what you’ll be wearing at your wedding and what feels comfortable during lessons.
Do you work with our wedding song choice?
Yes, we always choreograph to your specific wedding song. Bring us whatever music means something to you, and we’ll create choreography that matches the rhythm, mood, and structure of that particular song.
If you haven’t chosen a song yet, we can help with suggestions based on the style of dance you prefer. We have experience with everything from classic love songs to modern pop hits to unique personal favorites.
We can even edit your song if needed—shortening it to the perfect length for your dance or creating smooth transitions between different sections. The goal is making sure your choreography and music work together seamlessly.
