Wedding dance lessons
Wedding first dance
We know how important your wedding day is, and that's why we have a special offer for fiancés. Your first dance is an expression of your love and commitment, a moment that will captivate your guests. We can help you make it even more beautiful. Don’t worry if you haven’t chosen your music or dance style yet. During the first lesson, the dance instructor will select a dance style that suits your needs and skills, and, if necessary, assist you in choosing the perfect song.
Flexible offer
You decide how much time you want to dedicate to learning the dance, whether you prefer a fully choreographed first dance or simply want to learn some basic steps for improvisation. The most popular dance styles are social dances with elements of ballroom dancing. However, this is not a requirement – you can choose any dance style you like, and we will schedule lessons with an instructor experienced in that style. Remember: you can dance to any song, and every vision is welcome – nothing is impossible. Even the most demanding ideas, such as choreography from the movie "Dirty Dancing" or romantic bachata, can be brought to life.
Additional information
When to start#
The ideal time to begin your first dance preparations depends on several factors: your dance experience, the complexity of your routine, the length of the song, and whether you practice at home. On average, 2-3 months is sufficient to prepare for a wedding first dance (approximately 2 minutes long). However, if you’re envisioning a more intricate routine (such as a "Dirty Dancing" choreography), it’s a good idea to start your preparations about 6 months before your wedding day.
That said, if you’re running short on time, don’t worry — it’s still possible to create a beautiful first dance even with just two weeks to go! While the routine may need to be simpler and the practice sessions a bit more intensive, we will do our best to help you create a memorable moment on your special day.
Only a month left until the wedding – is it too late to start#
Even with just a few weeks or sometimes only a few days before your wedding, it's still possible to learn the basic steps of your chosen dance. If you're running short on time, don't worry – our instructors are here to help, no matter the situation. We’ll guide you through the essentials and make sure you feel confident for your big day!
What shoes and clothes to wear during dance lessons#
For the first few lessons, it’s best to wear something comfortable – sports shoes are perfectly fine. As your wedding day approaches, we recommend rehearsing in an outfit similar to what you'll wear on the big day (such as a shirt, jacket, dress, and elegant shoes) to get a feel for how you'll move in your wedding attire.
Choosing the music#
When selecting your song, the most important factor is your personal taste in music — there are no "good" or "bad" songs. The key is to choose music that resonates with you and reflects your vision for the first dance. Remember: any song can be danced to and choreographed to suit the couple's preferences. If you prefer slower, romantic tracks, we can easily adapt a waltz, blues, or rumba. For faster, more energetic songs, the possibilities are just as wide, including options like disco samba, discofox, rock’n’roll, or cha-cha-cha. We will create a personalized choreography for you, no matter the music genre.
Is the first dance always a "strict routine"#
A choreographed routine isn’t required. You can learn a few steps from your chosen dance and perform them in any order. However, this approach can be a bit more challenging, as it relies on the lead’s ability to guide and improvise on the dance floor. Learning a set routine is generally easier and can help reduce any potential mistakes during the first dance.
How many lessons are needed#
On average, it takes around 7-8 lessons to prepare a choreography for a 2-minute first dance. This number is an estimate, as the actual amount of time depends on several factors: your chosen song, what you want to showcase, and whether you practice at home. More complex choreography will naturally require additional lessons, while simpler routines might take fewer.
Unique first dance ideas
Slow + fast combo
For couples who find traditional waltz or blues a bit too conventional, we offer a more dynamic approach. Why not spice things up with a faster dance, like rock'n'roll or cha-cha-cha? Instead of a single long routine, we’ll prepare two shorter routines and blend both songs together, creating a fun and lively first dance.
Elegant + fun
A popular choice for many couples is to divide the first dance into two parts: one "for the family" and one "for your friends." The "family" section is elegant and graceful, perhaps with a slow waltz. After a smooth music transition, you can surprise everyone with a fun, playful routine that totally changes style — think disco, music video vibes, or anything that adds a touch of excitement!
Couple + group dance
Similar to the previous ideas, you begin with a slow and elegant dance. Then, we split your routine into two parts. The second part brings your friends or family into the spotlight, as you dance together in a lively group routine. For this section, we recommend an upbeat and simple choreography, like salsa or line dance, to get everyone moving and having fun!
