Wedding Dance at Big Apple Ballroom

Wedding Dance

At our boutique dance studio, we specialize in transforming your first dance into a memorable and joyful experience, whether you're looking for custom wedding dance choreography or simply aiming to untangle those two (or four) left feet. Our intimate space provides the ideal setting for couples to learn their dance in a stress-free environment.

Song Selection

Choosing the perfect song for your first dance can be a challenge. We'll guide you in finding a song you love that's also danceable. Additionally, our music editing services ensure your chosen song is perfectly tailored for your dance.

Staging

Beyond mastering the steps, we'll help you envision how your first dance will seamlessly fit into your wedding reception. Our focus extends beyond the dance itself to ensure a visually stunning and well-coordinated performance.

  • Entrance to the ballroom or dance floor

  • Timing within the program

  • Coordination with DJ or band leader

  • A natural, confident start to the dance

  • Optimal placement of the movement for the audience, photographer, and videographer.

  • Clothing considerations - does the dress or tux, or whatever you’re wearing, impact the movement.

  • Making a seamless transition to the general dancing or next part of the evening.

Choreography (…or not)

Whether you're envisioning an elaborate choreography for your first dance or a more casual approach, our experienced instructors will tailor the dance to match your preferences and style. Some couples want a very simple first dance with minimal choreography, while others want to go all out. Some even want to do the Dirty Dancing routine (lift and all) and we’ve done that too. We understand that each couple is unique, and we will ensure that you have the time and guidance needed to showcase your best moves.

Groups

While perfecting your individual wedding dance is a priority, we also offer group sessions. These sessions are designed to prepare bridal parties and family members, ensuring everyone is ready for a lively and entertaining reception. It's not just about the dance; it's a fantastic pre-wedding activity that fosters connection and camaraderie among out-of-town guests.

Join us as we turn your first dance into a celebration of love, offering a range of services from song selection to choreography, and group sessions for a wedding experience that's both unforgettable and fun. Let's make your first dance a highlight of your special day
