Frequently Asked Questions

• The 1st Dance and parental dances (Father/Daughter + Mother/Son) create the 2nd and 3rd strongest memory of your wedding day (Saying “I Do”) is the first)  We call them ”Memory Milestones”.  
• ALL dance moments can create strong memories, not just weddings.
• For your first dance, and every dance, it’s lovely to be able to remember how you felt in that moment together, and dance lessons make all the difference.  

• One of our grooms said, “Dance lessons let us be in the moment rather than just trying to get through the moment.“ 
• This couldn’t be more true about ALL dance moments, not just weddings. 

• No one ever says, "We wish we had skipped the dance lessons”.  We like hugging and rocking better.  However… 
• Married couples who skipped the wedding dance lessons,  have said, “we wish we took dance lessons for our wedding.”
• One couple, married 15 years, even said, “there’s a hole in my heart where my first dance should be.”
• Friends don’t let friends hug and rock. 
• Hugging and rocking is the 8th deadly sin. 
• It’s in the Bible. Look it up. 

• Learning to dance is great relationship building time. 
• Many couples start  for their wedding but it becomes their weekly dance date. 
• We even have people who have been with us for 5-6 years!

1. You can take as few or as many  lessons as you wish. But, how much you learn in each lesson will always be the same. 

2. Your first  lesson will introduce you to the basic step plus leading and following.

3. We only add 1-2 moves per lesson hour, and fine tune technique, styling, and lead/follow as we go, to make sure you look natural dancing.  

4. There is no such thing as, “Can’t we have the 10 hour package in 1-2 hours?”

• If you are a wedding couple, are you picking your song first, or your dance first? 
• Looking to learning just for fun?  What kind of music do you listen to most?
• These are great places to start, and you don’t have to stop at learning one dance. 

• Picking the right song can be a challenge.  
• You want something that speaks to you and represents you as a couple.  And…
• You also need a song that has the right timing and tempo for dancing.  
• We can help you find just the right song.
• Our consulting services are free with your lessons.
