Wedding Dance Lessons

Lessons for Special Occasions

Your First Dance together is one of the most exciting parts of your Wedding day, but also a very emotional moment. Let us give you the confidence to go out there and perform the most beautiful and special dance and enjoy every second of it.

Wedding Dance Lessons

Whether you're looking for the elegant Waltz or you are into the more fun Cha-Cha or Salsa or even the romantic Rumba, we will create a tailored choreography that suits you. Whether you have a favorite song that you would like to dance to or you have no idea which song is right for you, we will go through hundreds of songs to find the perfect one for you. Whether you think you have “two left feet” or you are born dancers, we will design a dance that you will definitely enjoy and feel comfortable performing. Whether you are looking for a bride/groom dance, father/daughter dance, mother/son dance or a parents surprise dance, we will make sure to create the perfect choreography for you.


Frequently Asked Questions about Wedding Dance Lessons:

  • It all starts with a free consultation. We’ll discuss your plans, and learn more about your dream Wedding Dance. We encourage you to bring along favorite songs, pictures of the venue & your wedding attire, examples of dance videos you love, etc. Everything you can share helps us understand your goals for the day, so we can help you create a Wedding Dance experience that will amaze your guests and make your wedding even more special.

  • If you’re reading this now, it’s probably time to get started because the longer you wait, the less time you have to create your dream Wedding Dance! Due to wedding couples’ typically hectic schedules, we recommend getting started at least 5-6 months before your wedding. This will give you plenty of time for scheduling lessons (for you, and possibly your parents and wedding party), and to truly feel confident with your dance. Of course, we can help couples who have less time available, too. Don’t put it off – contact us today to get started.

  • At Dance Fire Studio, our Wedding Dance programs are tailored to you – your style & personality, and your priorities for the music and choice of dance. Our friendly, experienced Dance Masters can teach everything from a few simple dance steps to a fully-choreographed routine for your entire wedding party – it’s up to you!

  • The number of lessons you’ll want to take depends on the type of First Dance you want to create. Our experienced instructors will ensure that you’ll learn as much as possible, in the shortest amount of time, with the most retention, and the most FUN. We work with you to create a First Dance that fits your vision, in the amount of time you have available. We can guarantee you’ll feel confident and comfortable on your Wedding Day. In fact, you’ll be on your way to confident dancing by the end of your very first lesson!

  • We realize that some Students arrive for lessons straight from the office, and others may be dressed more casually for their lessons – either is fine. The most important thing is to wear something comfortable, which allows you to move easily. Of course, you’ll also want to select comfortable shoes. We suggest leather-sole shoes for gentlemen, and a shoe with a back for ladies (similar to what you might wear to go out dancing). If you’ve already purchased your wedding shoes, we suggest you bring them along to your first lesson, so we can help you determine if you’ll be able to dance comfortably in them. Please note that athletic shoes do NOT work well on the ballroom dance floor because they stick, which will make it difficult to move your feet.

  • Not at all. If you have a specific song in mind, definitely let us know so we can help you select a dance that matches it well - but it’s not required. In fact, when you’re introduced to the different styles of partner dance, you may discover that you really like a dance style that doesn’t match your music! Whatever you decide, we’ll be there to help make your First Dance totally “yours”.

  • Yes! Including your parents (or friends or family members who will be standing in that role) in your wedding dance can make your time on the dance floor extra special, and it’s a demonstration of your love and appreciation for them. While our main focus and priority will be on your First Dance, we do suggest a few lessons for parents if you plan to feature a traditional Mother/Son and Father/Daughter specialty dance during your reception.

  • Absolutely! These days, more and more couples are including their wedding party in dance lessons - to create a unique dance routine, or even re-create a famous dance scene from your favorite movie, musical or video! A YouTube-worthy First Dance can be a show-stopping surprise for your friends and family, and will become moments you’ll all want to re-watch, again and again.

What other couples say:

After touring a couple of dance studios in the capital region, my husband and I confidently decided to take lessons with Caley from January-June of 2022 before our 7/16 wedding. She helped us to not only choreograph our first dance, but also feel more comfortable on the dance floor in general. She is creative, gives excellent feedback, and works with her dancers to meet their visions. One of our very favorite parts of wedding planning was going to Dance Fire Studio! Highly recommend!

“My fiancé and I took lessons with Kevin for our upcoming wedding. We loved working with him! He was professional and so patient with us while we learned, and we thoroughly enjoyed our experience at Dance Fire. We can’t express how appreciative we are of our new skills - and can’t thank Kevin enough!”
