Learn to dance for your wedding,
the right way!
WHAT WILL YOU DO FOR YOUR FIRST DANCE?
Weddings are one of those events that stay etched in our minds forever like a
Kodak picture.
You can still hear people talking about a friends great wedding dinner menu.
You are still retelling the story of your sisters wedding, when your father  lifted her veil
for the first time and everyone started to cry.
These are memories that happen only once in a lifetime.

















In planning a wedding we take much time in finding:
** the right dress to give us a look "he will never forget"
**A most delicious cake that your friends will go off their diet for. 
**We listen to at least 5 bands to set just the right mood.
But what do couples always forget -
"How to dance?"
or What will we do to for our first dance?


Ballroom dancing is a skill that will last long after your cake,
and will not go into the box like your dress. 
What do most couples forget and wait till the last minute? They forget to allow enough time to learn how to dance
and so therefore do not look natural-
do you know that everyone be looking at you for 3 minutes? How will you look & feel?
We all remember those visions of rocking back and forth just like at the high school prom.
A couples first dance sets the tone for what the  rest of the reception dancing will be.
It is almost like when we christen a boat ready to sail, only it is the dance floor.
The first dance is also a wonderful gift to your guests,and to yourselves.
Just think how your first wedding dance will enhance your photos and video.

"First Dance"
**Dance Recommendations:
When should a couple start? It is important to start your lessons atleast 3-4 months before, if not sooner.
We find that when couples start even earlier, they allow themselves a relaxing hobby together and no pressure to
learn their songs rhythm, patterns and  partnerhsip. 
How long does it take to learn?-it takes between 6-8 sessions to break from a mechanical feeling. You can't learn anything in 1-2 sessions
and look natural. It also varies from one couple to another. If you practice in between sessions you will progress better.
