Comfortable, non-restrictive clothing works best. For footwear, choose a smooth sole — leather, suede, or hard plastic. Avoid thick rubber-soled sneakers or boots as they grip the floor and make turning difficult.
Yes, and this is actually the situation we specialize in. We design every wedding routine around the couple's natural movement and ability level. You don't need to be a dancer — you need to look and feel confident. We make that happen.
Most couples take 15 to 25 lessons. With four weeks to go, about 12 lessons at two or three visits a week gets you a confident, simple and sweet first dance to your song. With eight to ten weeks, about 22 lessons twice a week leaves room for styling, spins and dips, and a longer runway is where a signature moment and the parent dances come in.
Closer to the date than that? Come in anyway, we can still make something beautiful. The packages for each timeline are on our pricing page.
Yes. New students start with a 30-minute intro private lesson for $25, and it's free if you complete our short online quiz first. We'll see where you are, talk about your goals and match you with the right instructor and classes.
Yes. We offer a special introductory private lesson at a discounted rate for first-time students. This 30-minute session is designed to evaluate your current level, discuss your goals, and pair you with the right instructor.
Private lessons give you one-on-one instruction with a dedicated instructor who focuses entirely on your technique and goals. Group classes are social, energetic, and a great way to practice with many partners in a structured environment. Most students do both.
Pricing varies by lesson package and instructor level. We offer introductory packages for new students at a reduced rate so you can experience the studio before committing. You can see current package and VIP membership rates on our pricing page, or book a consultation and we'll walk you through the options.
Yes — every program follows a real curriculum, taught in sequence, so each class builds on the last. But the steps are the backbone, not the point. What you are actually learning is how to communicate with a partner, how to hear and use the music, and how your own body expresses the character of each dance — skills you keep and can use on any dance floor, not just in class.
We publish the full syllabus for every program — see what you’ll learn, program by program.
