A Deep Dive Into Your Custom First Dance

Planning a wedding is a whirlwind. Between showers, RSVPs, and seating charts, it helps to have at least one part of your big day feel simple and fun. That’s exactly why our Full Choreography Package is our top recommendation for couples whose wedding is April 2026 or later.
This package gives you time, space, and personalized instruction to create a wedding dance that feels polished, natural, and completely you, with dips, lifts, and a little flair included.
The Consultation: Where Your Dance Story Begins
Your experience starts with a consultation lesson. This is your chance to explore a couple of dance styles that fit your song and see what feels best for both of you.
Your instructor will take some time to discuss with you important details, such as your song (or help you finalize your choice), your dress and how it moves, the dance floor you’re working with, your experience and comfort level, and most importantly, your vision! If you haven’t thought about what you want your first dance to look and feel like, here are some suggestions to get you started:
Do you want your first dance to tell your love story?
To impress your guests?
To not feel awkward for your three minutes in the spotlight?
To bring the energy to kick off your reception?
Whatever your goals, this is where the magic begins.
After you’ve had a chance to dance, your instructor will check-in to see which style you liked and make a recommendation based on your goals, time table, and budget. Our Full Choreography Package (highlighted here) includes time to create a fully customized dance, with more variety, more storytelling, and more unique moments. If dazzling photos of your first dance is at the top of your wedding wish list, this is the package for you!
The Lessons: Step-By-Step Confidence
Once your wedding dance vision is clear, we build your unique choreography over six 45-minute lessons. They are paced to your comfort level. At every lesson, you’ll get:
A run-through with no critique to shake off the rust.
A couple review runs with your instructor showing you how to refine moves to improve your partnership and technique.
30 seconds of new choreography, working toward your final 2.5 to 3 minute dance.
Along the way, you’ll learn:
How to look polished and confident
How to make turns, dips, and transitions feel natural
Where your hands go (a surprisingly important detail!)
How to solve practical dance problems, like avoiding stepping on toes
Lessons move quickly, and couples are often surprised at how much they accomplish in each one. To make practicing easier, we take time at the end of every lesson to record your progress so you can review at home. No panicking about remembering the steps required!
The Review: A Final Run
Our Full Choreography Package includes one review lesson. This is your refresher and final confidence boost. We recommend scheduling it 2–4 weeks before the wedding so everything is fresh and you don’t feel rushed.
You can always add extra review sessions if you want even more practice before the big day.
