Your wedding dance package includes personalized choreography created specifically for your chosen song and skill level. You’ll receive private instruction in a dedicated studio space, ensuring you have complete privacy and your instructor’s full attention during every lesson.

The investment starts with just a $39 consultation, making professional wedding dance instruction accessible regardless of your budget. Most couples find that 5-10 lessons give them the confidence and skills they need, though you can always add more sessions if you’re loving the process. You’ll also receive guidance on song selection if you haven’t chosen your music yet, plus tips for managing wedding day nerves and making your dance look effortless.
Most couples achieve beautiful, confident results in 5-10 private lessons, though the exact number depends on your goals and starting comfort level. If you’re complete beginners wanting a simple but elegant dance, 5-6 lessons often provide everything you need to look graceful and feel confident.
Couples who want more elaborate choreography or have specific moves in mind typically benefit from 8-10 lessons. The key is starting early enough – ideally 2-3 months before your wedding – so you can learn at a comfortable pace without feeling rushed.
During your initial consultation, we’ll assess your goals, timeline, and experience level to recommend the perfect lesson package for your situation. Remember, you can always add more lessons if you’re enjoying the process or want to perfect certain elements of your routine.
No experience? Perfect – that’s exactly who these lessons are designed for. The vast majority of couples who come in for wedding dance instruction are complete beginners who’ve never taken formal dance lessons before. We specialize in working with nervous beginners and making them feel comfortable and confident.
We start with the absolute basics – how to hold each other, basic timing, and simple steps that anyone can master. Every movement is broken down into manageable pieces, and you’ll never be pushed beyond your comfort zone. The goal is to create something beautiful that feels natural for you, not to turn you into professional dancers overnight.
Many couples are amazed at how quickly they pick up the fundamentals and start feeling graceful together. The private lesson format means you can learn at your own pace without worrying about keeping up with others or feeling self-conscious about your progress.
Absolutely – we love creating custom choreography that matches your exact song choice and personal style. Whether you’ve chosen a classic romantic ballad, an upbeat contemporary hit, or something completely unique, we’ll design movements that complement the music’s rhythm, mood, and special moments.
If you haven’t selected your song yet, we can help with that too. We maintain a curated list of wedding-appropriate songs across different styles and can suggest options based on your preferences and the type of dance you envision. The key is choosing music that feels meaningful to you as a couple.
During choreography creation, we’ll identify the best sections of your song for different dance elements, ensuring your routine flows naturally with the music. We can even incorporate special moments like dips or spins that align perfectly with musical highlights, creating a truly memorable performance that feels organic rather than forced.
The ideal timeline is 2-3 months before your wedding date, which gives you plenty of time to learn comfortably without feeling rushed. Starting early allows you to space out your lessons, practice between sessions, and really build confidence in your routine before the big day arrives.
However, we understand that wedding planning doesn’t always go according to plan. We’ve successfully prepared couples with as little as 3-4 weeks notice, creating simpler but still elegant routines that look polished and feel natural. The key is being realistic about what you can accomplish in your available timeframe.
If you’re still months away from your wedding, you have the luxury of taking your time, potentially learning multiple dances, or even continuing lessons after your wedding just for fun. Starting early also means you can use your dance lessons as a stress-relieving break from other wedding planning activities.
Private lessons offer complete customization that group classes simply can’t match. Your instructor focuses entirely on you and your partner, creating choreography specifically for your song, skill level, and personal style preferences. There’s no trying to keep up with others or feeling self-conscious about your progress.
You also get dedicated studio space and sound system access, so you’re never competing for attention or waiting for your turn. This means more actual dancing time and faster progress toward your goals. We can immediately address any challenges you’re facing and adjust the teaching approach to match how you learn best.
The scheduling flexibility is another major advantage – you can book lessons when it works for your busy wedding planning schedule, including evenings and weekends. Plus, if one partner picks up the choreography faster than the other, we can provide individual attention to ensure you’re both confident and comfortable by your wedding day.
Comfort is key for effective learning, so wear clothes that allow you to move freely without restriction. For women, fitted pants or a knee-length skirt work well, paired with a top that won’t shift around during spins or movements. Avoid anything too loose or flowing that might get in the way of footwork.
Shoe choice is particularly important since you’ll be learning balance and movement patterns. Women should wear low heels similar to what they’ll have on their wedding day – this helps you get comfortable with the heel height and practice your balance. Men should wear dress shoes or leather-soled shoes that allow for smooth movement across the dance floor.
If you’re not sure about your wedding day shoe choice yet, that’s fine too. We can provide guidance on selecting dance-appropriate footwear that will help you look and feel your best. The goal is practicing in conditions as close to your wedding day as possible, so you feel completely prepared and confident when the moment arrives.
