• Listen to the professionals. Learning to dance takes time. It takes more than one dance lesson to put a put a successful first dance together.

 

• Be patient with your partner. Let the leader learn how to lead. Many follows try to take over the position of the leader. This can be frustrating for both partners.

 

• Bring in visuals for your dance teacher. Did you see a video that you loved?

 

• You must wear the same size of heel height used during your dress fitting for a successful first dance.

 

• Test your wedding dance shoes before the big day. If you’re not used to wearing 3 inch heels your wedding day is not the day to start.

 

• Practice your dance steps at home to get the most out of your dance lessons.

 

• Choose a song that reflects your personality or the story you want to tell about your first dance.

 

• The more songs you bring to your dance teacher the more options you will have for finding the perfect dance style.

 

• Do not wait until the last minute to schedule your dance lessons. The earlier you start the more time you will have to practice your first dance. A successful first dance takes time.

• When scheduling your dance lessons we highly advise you both bring your calendars with you. In most cases you may have to reschedule a few but the most popular times are after work and everyone wants those hot spots.

 

• Try not to look at the floor when your dancing. We want to see that beautiful face.

 

• Move your hips not your lips. Practice counting in your head, but don’t count out loud we can see your lips.

 

• Make sure to practice a few dance steps during your dress fittings. Dress fittings typically take place those last 6 weeks prior to the wedding.

 

• Bring the dimensions of your dance floor to your first dance lesson. Some dance styles are more mobile than others. Make sure you are working on a dance style that will fit on your dance floor.
