Getting married soon and forgot about
dance lessons?
No time? In as little as 4 lessons, you can have a

dance a basic
step and dance
patterns to the timing and tempo of their wedding
song.
Please Note: We've learned from experience that 4 is
the minimum number of lessons needed to effectively

TIPS ON SURVIVING THE FIRST DANCE
Most couples intend to dance the traditional first dance, but most
of them also know nothing at all about dancing! So as the big day
approaches their sense of panic increases. Avoid anxiety by following a
few easy tips.
1.
Plan ahead: You're planning everything else associated with your
wedding, why not your first dance? Ideally you should begin practicing
6 to 12 months ahead of time.
2. Turn to professionals: Learning to dance is surprisingly painless and this way you
avoid the worry of looking awkward in front of others.
3. Decide on a song. Once you've picked a song, make sure your DJ or band
knows how you want to hear it. For instance, don't assume your band will play
the song just like the Frank Sinatra CD you've been practicing to. It's a good
idea to give them a copy of the version you like, or to get a recording of their
version, so that you are practicing to "the real deal."
4. Less is more: You need not dance to the entire song (remember, dance
professionals don't). Your DJ can cut the song or your band can play a shortened
version...or you can even just have it fade out. Bottom line: you'll look better
dancing for two minutes and doing five terrific moves, than dancing for five
minutes and doing twelve poorly executed moves.
5.
Think about what you're wearing. And speaking of what you're
wearing: practice your dancing as if it's the big day. Grooms: wear a
jacket and dress shoes. Brides: wear a long skirt, (unless you're
planning that mini-wedding dress!) and your actual wedding shoes. This
will accomplish two things: it'll break your shoes in, and it will give
you a sense of security about your ability to manage them come the
actual reception. If you're worried about getting them dirty, protect
them with an old pair of athletic socks.
6. Enjoy your first dance! After all, this is your first dance and husband and wife!
