Here are a few questions to ask yourself before beginning dance lessons in preparation for your wedding.
Do I want to just take lessons for my first dance, or do I want to be able to dance with my spouse all night long?
Learning a choreographed dance can take anywhere from a few months to a year, depending upon what you have in mind. If you would like to learn several different types of dances, so you can dance all night long, you definitely need to start a year ahead.
Does anyone I know want to take dance lessons as well?
Many dance studios (including Roc Ballroom) offer a referral program. Before beginning dance lessons ask your dance studio about their program. At Roc Ballroom, for every person you refer (that takes a lesson) you get one free private lesson.
What do I wear to the dance lesson?
If you have the shoes that you will be wearing on your wedding day you will want to bring them. Many ladies find that they would like to purchase white ballroom dance shoes for their wedding as well. They are very comfortable and much easier to dance in. Wearing sneakers is not advised, they making turning much more difficult. Wear comfortable clothing. Ladies if you are wearing a skirt remember to bring shorts to wear underneath, if you are nervous it may come up when you turn.
How many times a week can I commit to going to a dance lesson?
The more times per week you can come the faster you will learn. You will remember what we did in the last lesson and we will spend less time reviewing. Typically, a couple will take their lessons one time a week. If you can only come every other week, plan on taking more lessons and starting much earlier.
We will post more questions as wedding season continues. If you have a question you would like to see in our next post, please leave your questions in the comment box below (or on Facebook).
