Practice Makes Perfect: Getting the Most Out of Your Wedding Dance Lessons with Monumental Ballroom
When couples come to Monumental Ballroom for their wedding dance lessons, they’re not just learning steps. They’re creating a once-in-a-lifetime memory that doesn’t have to break the bank. With packages designed to be affordable for every budget, we make it possible for all couples to feel confident and prepared for their big day. Whether you choose our six-lesson full choreography package, our flexible steps-and-style lessons, or our signature wedding dance crash course, a little practice between lessons helps you get the most value for your money, and the most joy out of your dance.
When to Practice Between Lessons
The best time to practice is within 24 hours after your lesson. A quick review keeps the steps fresh in your mind and body, which means you’re not re-learning the same material every lesson (saving both time and money). Think of it as stretching your investment: the more you reinforce what you’ve learned at home, the fewer lessons you’ll need to review basics, and the faster you’ll move forward.
Don’t feel pressured to block off hours of practice time. Short, consistent practice sessions—just 10–15 minutes—make your lessons go further. Your complete dance won’t be more than 3 minutes long, so aim for a quick run through if it’s hard to find time together. This is the most budget-friendly way to maximize your package, ensuring every minute of paid instruction is building your skills, not repeating old steps.
How Much Practice Is Enough?

You don’t need to practice every day. Three or four short sessions each week is plenty to keep your progress on track. Couples who practice this way usually see faster results during lessons, which means more spent polishing the final product.
For our wedding dance crash course, quick practice sessions help you feel wedding-ready in no time. For those working with full choreography, breaking your dance into smaller sections keeps things simple, saves stress, and makes each lesson count.
How to Practice for Maximum Confidence

Practice should be lighthearted and fun. Put on your song, slip into shoes similar to what you’ll wear (or your actual wedding shoes; that’s even better!), and rehearse in a space about the size of your dance floor. Keep your sessions relaxed, laugh through the stumbles, and focus on building confidence together—confidence that will shine through on your big day.
Pro tip: film yourselves occasionally to see your progress. That will help you recognize problem spots to work out at your next lesson. By the time you step out onto the dance floor, you’ll not only know the steps; you’ll also have confidence that your unique dance shows the work you have put into your relationship.
