Why Take Lessons?

If you have never danced together as a couple, you will need some form of instruction. Don’t assume that you will magically figure it out on your wedding day. To dance together comfortably and without stepping on each other’s toes requires an understanding of dance position and partnering skills. A dance teacher can help. Our experienced instructors at Dance Center Chicago will help you:

  • Select your special song.
  • Identify the dance style that is compatible with your song.
  • Develop partnering skills so that you move easily together.
  • Learn simple patterns so that you glide smoothly around the floor.
  • Feel comfortable entering and exiting the dance floor.
  • Understand how to use the floor effectively during your dance.
  • End your first dance with ease and a little pizzazz.
  • Understand how to include your bridal party or family on the dance floor.

With a little preparation, you can take the spotlight with confidence and ease on your wedding day.
