How Wedding Dance Lessons *Actually* Work

How Wedding Dance Lessons *Actually* Work


If you’re already neck-deep in wedding planning, the last thing you need is more stress, decision fatigue, or another item for your to-do list. 


And yet, it’s crucial for you to enjoy a flawless day—and capture your moment in the spotlight while you dazzle yourselves and your guests with the Best. Party. Ever.  The one people talk about all year long—or even mention at every family reunion for the next decade +!


That’s why so many of our couples sing our praises at Wedding Dance Coach—because we give them ALL the mic-drop moments and endless party vibes—effortlessly. But, how do we get you from two left feet to smooth, elegant, confident dancer in just a handful of weeks?


Here’s how our dance lessons actually work, from the first website click to all the stunning lifts, dips, and spins included in your First Dance vision (Oh, and we help with THAT too, by the way.)


Step One: Choose your package 

  • We recommend 5 lessons for simple and elegant sequences you can use for out-of-this-world photos and videos, plus whipping out your new moves all evening long. 

  • 10 lessons will allow you to include family members for signature dances, create mashups that blend several dance styles for you and your Sweetie, OR embellish your dance with lifts, spins, and dips that add a lot of “bling” to the basics.

Step Two: Choose your teacher

  • Next, you’ll select the Expert Coach who best matches your schedule. You may work with several of our Instructors over the course of your package—don’t worry, we make sure our team is current with your progress and inspiration at every step of your First Dance Journey.

Step Three: Create your dance vision/choose your song (s)

  • If you’ve got a favorite song already picked out, that’s awesome! (AND, if you’re stumped, we can give you plenty of inspo to get the love and movement flowing.) We’ll help you make sure your song is super dance-worthy. (Pro tip: remember that your song should run about 3 minutes, have meaning for you, and usher in an infectious celebration vibe for your guests—YOU kick the party off, after all!)

  • We’ll also help you select your dance style–fast or slow, sexy or show-stopping, hilarious or heart-felt. It’s all fair game, and we want your dance to reflect the best of YOU!

Step Four: Learn, learn, learn

  • In each lesson, your Coach will lay out several moves for you to learn. They will coach you on your technique, memorization, and styling. You’ll practice the new material several times during the lesson, and they’ll also record your moves, so that you never drop a beat or forget a step. 

Step Five: Practice, practice, practice

  • Between lessons, you’ll use your videos for reference, and then practice as much as you can on your own. (Pssst: practice time is also a fabulous time to connect as a couple, so be sure to laugh a lot, look into each other’s eyes, and put on your joyful faces as you get all the moves in your body.)

And finally, the Big Day arrives, and all you have to do is smile, make your entrance, and revel in the confidence of your very first achievement as a couple—it’s such a moment of triumph and FUN (because we MAKE it that way for you the entire time.) 


Honestly, First Dances are accessible no matter how much or little dance experience you have. We help everyone we coach to absolutely crush their moments in the spotlight and capture memories they never thought were possible. 


We offer in-person wedding dance lessons at our Denver studio, AND we coach happy couples world-wide in our Virtual Studio as well!
