| Wedding Dance |
For most couples, the night of
their wedding is one of the most important nights of their mutual
lives together. Memories and stories of the wedding night, often
stay with them and their guests for many
years to come. Pictures of a wedding night, often are cherished
and shared through several generations. It comes with no surprise
then, that many of our clients at The Ballroom Way, are indeed
couples on the verge of tying the knot.
Teaching wedding couples is one of our favorite specialties! |

Our Goas for your Big Night
When
teaching you your dance we have three main goals in mind:
- To give you the dance experience of your dreams.
The wedding service is tailored to your needs and visions. Afterall
it is your night! we're here to make your experience even more
memorable.
- To make sure you are completely
comfortable with every single move, dip, or trick you have learned
by the time your big day rolls around.
- To give you all the tools you need to have lots
of fun on your wedding night.
We want to make sure that
on the night of your wedding you step out on the dance floor with
confidence and that, instead of feeling nervous and anxious, you'll
be able to have lots of fun. Experience shows us that the more
the dance becomes intuitive and a part of your muscle memory, the
more fun you'll have!
Picking the Right Song
There are countless
beautiful love songs written that express the intense and intimate
feelings of the wedding couple for one another far more poetically
than most of us can. Every one of these songs will call on a particular
dance and set of steps to take its message to new heights. When
you use movements that go beautifully with your song, you and your
audience will identify with the music in a new way, as
though the song suddenly makes more sense.
The best way to find the song that is right for
you is to listen to lots and lots of them, until you stop
and exclaim: "This is it! This is how I feel about my fiance!"
Bring the song of your choice to your first lesson and we'll do
the rest! One of the newest trends these days is to start with
a traditional song, then to speed it up with a groovy Hip Hop,
Swing, or Salsa routine. If you have trouble finding a song, you
can look through the list of sample songs that is provided on this
page for inspiration.
Benefits of Starting Early
When it comes to
your wedding dance, you should consider starting your lessons as
early as possible. Starting early offeres many benefits some of
which are outlines below:
- You'll have time to solidify what you've learned
and make it part of your muscle memory. This will ensure that
you'll look and feel more relaxed when you are dancing at your
wedding.
- You'll be able to learn more patterns which you
can use not only during your wedding dance, but during any dance
for the rest of your life. It's always nice to have more tricks
in your bag to pull from.
- You might have time to learn additional dances
and moves that you can show off during the reception.
- You minimize the chances of forgetting moves and
transitions because you'll have more practice.
- There is often not much time for dancing during
the few months leading to the wedding. It's best to take the
bulk of your lessons about four to six months before the big
date, then have a couple of refresher lessons right before the
wedding.
