Its the start of Spring

Its that time of the year when couples start planning their spring and summer weddings.

In the 2015-16 “Wedding Season” I had the honor to teach over 90 wedding couples, a Father of the Bride and two wedding parties. The songs that couples used have been as diverse as Flume, Talking Heads and Motley Crue through to Frank Sinatra, Jason Timberlake and Elton John. The inspiration for a wedding dance always comes from the music and any style of music is perfect if it means something to you both.

I have lesson times available in Tauranga during the weekend and some lunchtimes. In Auckland there are also times free during the day as well as the evenings, so if you work shift you can still have a wedding dance choreographed just for you.

From one of my couples:

Just wanted to let you know we pulled our dance off brilliantly! The guests were incredibly impressed that we’d been to dance lessons and couldn’t believe Chris picked it up so easily! We had a lot of fun and were so proud we nailed it! Thanks so much for your choreography and positive teaching. I’ve included a picture of our finale! Chris and Leah

Do consider booking your wedding dance lessons in advance – that means one less thing to worry about closer to the actual day. If you are looking for some help, do call or email.

Looking for advice for your wedding dance?

Every couple has some specific questions, however these are two of the more common ones:

How much time do we need to put in?

This depends on what exactly you want your first dance to be. If you want something that’s fairly formal, or with complicated moves or a very slick performance you will need to put aside about 3 months of weekly lessons. If you want something a little more casual you could set aside 4-6 weeks. If you just want a few simple moves you could have just one lesson.

You do need to be able to practice between lessons too. Not hours and hours, but enough so each lesson can build on what you both already know. Practice also gets rid of the need to count, look down and all those things that will make you look unconfident.

When should we start?

Its a good idea to have your choreography done at least 2 weeks before the big day if you can – then you have less to stress about. You can also learn your choreographed wedding dance well in advance and come back for a final run through in the week before their wedding – and that works well for some couples.
