Lead and 234 follow is a great way to learn to social dance. Youâll learn 235 the different signals and wonât have to worry if you miss a 236 step in your routine.

How many weddings have you been to where everyone 1512 awkwardly stares at the lovely couple swaying back and forth 1513 for 4 minutes? Taking wedding dance lessons gives you the 1514 opportunity to create a special moment at your reception that 1515 youâll remember forever. 1516 </p> 1517 <p> 1518 Not only will you learn a wedding dance, but youâll actually 1519 learn how to dance together. It truly is one of the best gifts 1520 you can give each other on your special day. Instead of being 1521 at the bar, youâll be on the floor enjoying the countless 1522 weddings youâll attend in the future. 1523 </p> 1524 </dd> 1525 </div> 1526 <div class="tab"> 1527 <input type="radio" id="rd2" name="rd" /> 1528 <label class="tab-label" role="button" tabindex="0" for="rd2" 1529 ><dt>Do I need choreography or what are my options?</dt></label 1530 > 1531 <dd class="tab-content"> 1532 <p> 1533 Generally, there are three ways couples choose to structure 1534 their wedding dance: 1535 </p> 1536 <h3>Choreography</h3> 1537 <p> 1538 A set of planned steps. Choreography can be as simple or 1539 flashy as youâd like. Itâs a great way to take the stress off
1540 of learning a dance when you know what comes next. Having 1541 choreography can give you the repetition and muscle memory 1542 much faster. 1543 </p> 1544 <h3>Lead and Follow:</h3> 1545 <p> 1546 An impromptu method where the leader gives signals of what 1547 they want to do next and the follower responds. Lead and 1548 follow is a great way to learn to social dance. Youâll learn 1549 the different signals and wonât have to worry if you miss a 1550 step in your routine. Keep in mind, it will require a little 1551 more patience with your partner as you get comfortable with 1552 communicating these signals. 1553 </p> 1554 <h3>Combination of Both:</h3> 1555 <p> 1556 A combination of both choreography and lead and follow means 1557 that certain parts of the dance are specific steps and other 1558 sections are impromptu lead and follow. 1559 </p> 1560 <p> 1561 Your instructor will be able to recommend what is best for you 1562 based on how you learn, your timeline, as well as the look and 1563 feel youâd like for your dance. 1564 </p> 1565 </dd> 1566 </div> 1567 <div class="tab"> 1568 <input type="radio" id="rd3" name="rd" /> 1569 <label class="tab-label" role="button" tabindex="0" for="rd3" 1570 ><dt> 1571 What should I expect on my first wedding dance lesson? 1572 </dt></label 1573 > 1574 <dd class="tab-content"> 1575 <p> 1576 After answering a few questions about your venue, dress, and 1577 the look and feel youâd like to have, your instructor will 1578 guide you through a few basics of dancing. Youâll already 1579 start learning parts of your wedding dance on your very first 1580 lesson and leave with a plan of action between now and the 1581 wedding. 1582 </p> 1583 </dd> 1584 </div> 1585 <div class="tab"> 1586 <input type="radio" id="rd4" name="rd" /> 1587 <label class="tab-label" role="button" tabindex="0" for="rd4" 1588 ><dt> 1589 Do I have to decide on a song before my first lesson? 1590 </dt></label 1591 > 1592 <dd class="tab-content"> 1593 <p> 1594 Absolutely not. If you havenât decided a song, your instructor 1595 will show you a few basic steps that go to any style of music. 1596 The biggest hurdle in learning to dance for a wedding is 1597 getting the basics down. Once you do decide on a song, theyâll 1598 help you personalize it to the music. 1599 </p> 1600 </dd> 1601 </div> 1602 <div class="tab"> 1603 <input type="radio" id="rd5" name="r5" /> 1604 <label class="tab-label" role="button" tabindex="0" for="rd5" 1605 ><dt>How long should my wedding dance be?</dt></label 1606 > 1607 <dd class="tab-content"> 1608 <p> 1609 We recommend a wedding dance should be around 1 min 30 1610 seconds- 2 minutes (maximum). While that might seem short, 1611 itâs actually quite a bit of time, and quite a bit of steps 1612 and/or choreography to learn and remember. Even those fancy 1613 routines on Dancing With the Stars typically last anywhere 1614 from 1:15-1:40. 1615 </p> 1616 <p> 1617 If youâre doing more than one song for your first dance, the 1618 time can be longer and your instructor will recommend 1619 accordingly. 1620 </p> 1621 </dd> 1622 </div> 1623 <div class="tab"> 1624 <input type="radio" id="rd6" name="rd" /> 1625 <label class="tab-label" role="button" tabindex="0" for="rd6" 1626 ><dt>Can you edit my music for my first dance?</dt></label 1627 > 1628 <dd class="tab-content"> 1629 <p> 1630 Yes! That is actually a service included with your wedding 1631 dance lessons. Since we help with the planning of your dance, 1632 it would only make sense that we cut the song for you as well. 1633 </p> 1634 <p> 1635 Whether you just want a simple fade out or a total mash-up, we 1636 can help take one more thing off of your to-do list. 1637 </p> 1638 </dd> 1639 </div> 1640 <div class="tab"> 1641 <input type="radio" id="rd7" name="rd" /> 1642 <label class="tab-label" role="button" tabindex="0" for="rd7" 1643 ><dt> 1644 What type of dances do you teach for wedding dances? 1645 </dt></label 1646 > 1647 <dd class="tab-content"> 1648 <p> 1649 Whether you want an elegant waltz, a romantic rumba, or a fun 1650 swing, we can do it all.

Planning a wedding can be very 1668 stressful and quite costly. Coming in early allows you to 1669 enjoy learning to dance together without a tight deadline. It 1670 gives you more time, in case you need it, and gives you plenty 1671 of time to practice. Learning to dance together should be a 1672 fun part of getting married. 1673 </p> 1674 </dd> 1675 </div> 1676 <div class="tab"> 1677 <input type="radio" id="rd9" name="rd" /> 1678 <label class="tab-label" role="button" tabindex="0" for="rd9" 1679 ><dt> 1680 How often should I come in for my wedding dance lessons 1681 leading up to the wedding? 1682 </dt></label 1683 > 1684 <dd class="tab-content"> 1685 <p> 1686 Your instructor will make individual recommendations based on 1687 the complexity of your dance, how quickly you learn, and your 1688 timeline. But, the most important thing to remember is that 1689 consistency is key. Learning to dance is a skill, and with any 1690 skill, it takes small amounts of consistent repetition. 1691 </p> 1692 <p> 1693 While some couples do wedding bootcamps, most couples come in 1694 once or twice a week for private wedding dance lessons leading 1695 up to their wedding. 1696 </p> 1697 </dd> 1698 </div> 1699 <div class="tab"> 1700 <input type="radio" id="rd10" name="rd" /> 1701 <label class="tab-label" role="button" tabindex="0" for="rd10" 1702 ><dt>How much does it cost to learn a wedding dance?</dt></label 1703 > 1704 <dd class="tab-content"> 1705 <p> 1706 That completely depends on you! The more complex a dance, the 1707 more time it takes to learn. If you want something simple, it 1708 might only take a handful of lessons. If you want something a 1709 little flashy, that takes a little longer. Lastly, if you want 1710 a full-on YouTube sensation, that can take several months up 1711 to a year. 1712 </p> 1713 <p> 1714 It all depends on how fast you learn, how consistent you are 1715 with your private lessons, and the complexity of your dance. 1716 Our instructors are great at recommending a plan on your very 1717 first lesson. 1718 </p> 1719 <p> 1720 Be assured, we have wedding dance programs for any budget. 1721 </p> 1722 <p> 1723 Looking to start your wedding dance?

As it gets closer to the wedding, you'll 1740 definitely want to bring your wedding shoes to practice in. 1741 You'll be 100% comfortable on the big day and have no unwanted 1742 surprises. 1743 </p> 1744 </dd> 1745 </div> 1746 <div class="tab"> 1747 <input type="radio" id="rd12" name="rd" /> 1748 <label class="tab-label" role="button" tabindex="0" for="rd12" 1749 ><dt>How do I choose a song for my first dance?</dt></label 1750 > 1751 <dd class="tab-content"> 1752 <p> 1753 Choosing a song for your first dance is entirely personal. 1754 There is no right or wrong way. 1755 </p> 1756 <p> 1757 Questions to ask yourself when choosing a song: Was there a 1758 song that you first danced to as a couple? Is there a special 1759 memory that you had together featuring a special song or a 1760 song that reminds you of that time? Is there a song thatâs 1761 lyrics are everything you want to say to your future spouse? 1762 </p> 1763 <p> 1764 While there are trending wedding songs from year to year, the 1765 biggest question to ask yourself is âDo I like it?â Your first 1766 dance together is something youâll always remember.
