I've booked first dance lessons!

Woohoo!

We'd like dance lessons too, but dunno how far in advance to book em. We used to do ballroom (very amateur - I just got excited after seeing Strictly one day!) and would love the chance to try and flash some moves on the wedding day!

Good luck - Dance the days away!

That sounds good to me... We will need a good few.!

Sorry to be noisey - but are you willing to give me any indication of cost?

We chose the "trial"package for £60, then additional lessons for £50. There were packages for £110, £150, £250, depends what you want!

We are learning a waltz routine - complete beginners never done it before, although we do Ceroc.

It is costing us £17 per half hour lesson, and I think we will have had 8-10 lessons before the big day. Started about 3 months before, every other week at first then every week when it got closer.

Have really enjoyed having a wedding project that we can have to truely work on together.

Thanks I will have to get doing some research. They say that even an hour can make a huge difference.! But when me and OH have practised - it's not been good! haha So I think we are going to need the package!

Depends what you want, but if you want to learn a routine you will need more than an hour. Ask around for a reccomendation, because studios vary a lot in what they offer.

If you want ballroom dancing, you can find lists for your area with the registered associations. If you want something more freestyle, try Ceroc/Modern jive. We Ceroc anyway, but realised it couldn't be attempted in my wedding dress!

we really just want 2 or 3 moves so we don't end up looking very boring for 5 minutes!

My guests are in for a shocker then! I'm going to make the sit through 2 "first" dances ? Luckily our waltz only last 2 mins, and our surprise second dance will probably get everyone else on their feet.

Beware getting hooked! I went for "a few lessons" a few years ago and am now a proper dancing junkie

I managed to find someone on the internet that only charged us £35 per hour. I think we only had 4 in the end. We got on with her really well & I was so glad we got to do an exciting 1st dance., even though we made a few mistakes at the end as we'd been apart a week & only practiced for a few mins on the wedding day but without the music! That reminds though, a friend of ours has put our dance on you tube so I should email the link to our teacher!
