You’ll walk onto that dance floor knowing exactly what you’re doing. No more worrying about stepping on toes or looking awkward in front of everyone who matters to you.
Your guests won’t just watch—they’ll be genuinely impressed. You’ll move together smoothly, confidently, like you’ve been dancing together for years instead of learning for weeks.
The best part? You’ll actually enjoy those three minutes instead of counting down until they’re over. That’s what happens when you know the steps, trust your partner, and feel prepared for one of your wedding’s most photographed moments.
Ballroom Factory Dance Studio has been teaching Suffolk County couples how to dance with confidence for years. We don’t just know the steps—we understand what it’s like to be nervous about dancing in front of your family and friends.
We’ve worked with couples who thought they had two left feet and couples where one person loves to dance and the other would rather hide. Every situation you’re worried about, we’ve seen and solved.
Ocean Beach couples choose us because we make learning feel natural, not stressful. You’re already planning a wedding—your dance lessons shouldn’t add to that pressure.
We start with a consultation where you tell us about your song, your comfort level, and what you want your dance to look like. No pressure, no sales pitch—just an honest conversation about your goals.
Then we create a plan that works for your timeline. Whether you have six months or six weeks, we’ll design something that fits your schedule and skill level.
Each lesson builds on the last. We start with basic movement, add your song, then layer in the choreography that makes it uniquely yours. By your wedding day, you’ll know every step so well you can focus on each other instead of your feet.
Ready to get started?
Your lessons are completely private—no sharing space or music with other couples. You get our full attention for the entire session, which means faster progress and more personalized instruction.
We work with your chosen song and create choreography that matches your style. Want something simple and elegant? We’ll teach you a beautiful, easy routine. Ready for something more elaborate? We can create a show-stopping performance.
Ocean Beach couples appreciate our flexible scheduling. We know wedding planning is hectic, so we work around your timeline. Evening and weekend appointments available, and we can even accommodate last-minute schedule changes when wedding planning gets crazy.
Most couples need 5-10 private lessons to feel completely confident with their first dance. This depends on your comfort level, the complexity of choreography you want, and how much time you have before your wedding.
If you’re starting 3-6 months before your wedding, you can take your time and really perfect your routine. If you only have a few weeks, we can create something beautiful and manageable in fewer lessons.
We recommend starting with our $39 consultation and first lesson. After that session, we’ll give you an honest assessment of how many more lessons you’ll need to achieve your goals.
This is incredibly common—probably 80% of our couples have different comfort levels with dancing. One person usually drags the other to lessons, and that’s completely normal.
We specialize in working with mixed-skill couples. We know how to teach both partners simultaneously, giving extra attention to whoever needs it without making anyone feel self-conscious.
By the end of your lessons, you’ll look like you’re perfectly matched on the dance floor. We’ve never had a couple where we couldn’t get both partners comfortable and confident.
Absolutely. Many couples come to us with a song they love but aren’t sure if it works for dancing. We can listen to any song and tell you what’s possible choreography-wise.
If your song is too fast, too slow, or has an unusual rhythm, we’ll suggest ways to work with it or help you find alternatives that capture the same feeling but work better for dancing.
We also have a list of popular wedding songs that work beautifully for first dances. Sometimes couples discover a perfect song they hadn’t considered just by hearing what other couples have used successfully.
We start with a half-hour consultation and first lesson for $39 per couple. This gives you a chance to meet your instructor, discuss your goals, and get a realistic timeline for your dance.
After that, lesson pricing depends on whether you choose individual sessions or a package. Most couples spend between $200-500 total for their complete wedding dance preparation, which includes 5-10 private lessons.
We offer flexible payment options and never require you to buy large packages upfront. You can pay as you go and decide after each lesson whether you want to continue.
The ideal timeline is 3-6 months before your wedding. This gives you plenty of time to learn without feeling rushed, and you can space lessons out so they don’t conflict with other wedding planning activities.
That said, we regularly work with couples who have just weeks before their wedding. We can create a beautiful, simple routine in 5-6 lessons if needed.
The key is being realistic about your goals based on your timeline. More time means more options for choreography complexity. Less time means focusing on a routine that looks great but doesn’t require months of practice.
None whatsoever. Most of our couples have never taken formal dance lessons before, and many consider themselves “bad dancers” when they start.
We begin with absolute basics—how to hold each other, how to move together, how to stay on rhythm. Everything builds from there, and we move at whatever pace feels comfortable for you.
Our job is to meet you where you are and get you where you want to be by your wedding day. Whether you’re complete beginners or have some experience, we’ll create a plan that works for your skill level and goals.
