      "With less than 2 months until the wedding, Rebecca choreographed and customized an amazing foxtrot for us. Rebecca's infectious energy coupled with her patience for students make her a great dance teacher. We not only had an amazing wedding dance, but we had a great time learning all of the dance moves during the weeks leading up to the big day. Thanks so much, Rebecca!"  :)  Baovy & Vu, Houston, Texas

When do we start? Your wedding should be no less than one month away in order to qualify for the wedding dance special (of five dance lessons), which includes choreography. If this is not the case for you, please indicate in the contact form what your wedding song is and that you want less than the five wedding dance lessons. For couples who are considering the wedding dance special, your first lesson is either free—if you decide not to continue—or it will be the first of the remaining four of five lessons if you enroll.

How much do dancing lessons cost? The wedding dance special consists of five wedding dance lessons, including choreography, for $300. If a couple wants or needs more or less dance lessons, there are five rate options from which to choose. The more wedding dance lessons purchased, the lower the rate. See standard pricing options:

How many lessons will we need? That's entirely up to you. Obviously, you cannot learn how to dance in one or two lessons; but, you can learn a few basic dance patterns that will be repeated throughout the dance, how to hold each other in a proper closed dance position, as well as a fun dip and kiss at the end. Entrance and exit strategies can also be choreographed in a couple of dance lessons. Five lessons are adequate for all of this, but customized first dance choreography that utilizes a song's dance style and interprets the music artistically will require more than five lessons.

Free Consultation: Couples who intend to take more than five wedding dance lessons and have more time to explore dance and wedding song choices will not need to have a song picked out. In this case, a free wedding dance consultation will apply and an appointment can be scheduled at the studio. The five-lesson wedding dance special for $300 applies to wedding couples only. Standard rates will apply to parents and relatives of couples who are currently taking wedding dance lessons.

Wedding Dance Shoes: Ladies, it is highly recommended for your wedding dance that you purchase specifically a separate pair of dance shoes which have the proper support, secure fit, and suede sole. It is also highly recommended that ladies have their dress length altered to accommodate their wedding (dance) shoes, not their wedding street shoes. More often than not, the bride's wedding dress is long and her shoes cannot be seen underneath her dress. Therefore, an appropriate pair of dance shoes can be worn during the first dance and the guests will be none the wiser. Also, for ladies who have not yet purchased their wedding shoes, it is highly recommended to go ahead and get wedding dance shoes. There are now dance shoes designed specifically for a wedding first dance that rival any designer street shoes currently on the market. Best of all, if you purchase dance shoes as your wedding shoes, they can then be worn again for dancing lessons dates with your husband after you get married. And what better reason is there than that!

A Note About Customized First Dance Choreography: Keep in mind that all dancing is choreographed. Learning just a few dance steps and repeating the same steps throughout a routine is still choreography. Couples will sometimes say that they don't want a choreographed wedding dance; or, that they don't want their wedding dances to look rehearsed or unnatural. Or couples will say that they do want their first dance choreographed. The issue is not whether or not a dance is choreographed, but rather the degree to which the choreography interprets the music. The highest degree or the art of dance choreography occurs when a choreographer allows the original inspiration of the musician's song or music to inform his or her choreography. Rest assured that your wedding dance(s) will be choreographed to your natural ability and will flow in sync with the time signature, tempo pattern, and phrasing of the song of your choosing.

    "Rebecca, Gary and I thank you for helping us to learn the tango for our awesome sunset wedding.  While we weren't perfect, your dancing instruction prior to our wedding was not only great fun, but enabled us to feel comfortable on the dance floor, which was very important to us.  We would suggest to anyone to call upon you for dance lessons prior to any dancing event." ~Carol Artz-Bucek, President/CEO, Pearland Chamber of Commerce
