So, how does this learning our wedding dance thing work?

How does our lesson work?
Your wedding dance lesson is a private coaching session
with you, your partner and your teacher. Some couples, however, also like to include the other members of their bridal party, or their parents. You just need to advise your wedding dance teacher prior to the first lesson of the numbers that will be attending the lesson.
How soon should we start lessons?

You should try to plan ahead with your dance lessons.
Plan your dancing with as much forethought as you
would your dress, flowers, cake, cars etc.
After all, it will provide a lasting memory of your wedding day, which will linger on long after your flowers have died and the last bit of wedding cake has been eaten.
Around the time you are booking your music,
DJ or entertainment, is a good time to book your first dance lesson.
Make sure you give yourselves enough time before the wedding to get comfortable with your steps and with dancing together.
If you are after a recommended estimate, plan for at least 3 months, if not 4 months to learn your wedding dance and be comfortable with it.

When can we have lessons?
Lessons are available of an evening, weekend or daytime. We will try to find a time that is convenient for you.
How many lessons will we need?
The number of lessons you have is entirely up to you
but will depend on the length of time until your wedding, the amount of time in which you have to practise, and on the complexity of the dance routine which you would like to learn.
What should we bring/wear to our first lesson?
Make sure you wear comfortable clothes that you can move easily in. Stretch pants, flared skirts, baggy pants, etc. are ideal as your legs will be able to move freely. Shoes should be comfortable with some support. Avoid rubber soles as these grip the floor. If the wedding is approaching soon, it is a good idea to wear your wedding shoes in your lesson so that you can get used to dancing in them. Don't forget to bring in your CD with the song, or songs, that you have chosen.
Why do we need to practise?
How ready and confident you are will ultimately depend on how much practice you do. Your teacher can only provide you with the knowledge and skills to do your wedding dance, the rest is up to you. We suggest that, as a minimum, you practice for 1 to 2 sessions in between lessons, for about 15 to 30 minutes a session.
Remember, the number of lessons you have is flexible,
but ultimately the result you will achieve depends on the effort that you have put in as a couple.
