10 Ballroom Dance Lessons

The recommended minimum number of lessons for a Wedding Dance.

In Ten lessons, you should feel absolutely comfortable on the dance floor, dancing together. Your First dance will be free of anxiety, and that confidence will be apparent to everyone. It allows you the time and space to learn a minimum of six steps in at least four or five different dances, being comfortable doing any step at any time,.

The focus will, of course, be on the steps and character of your specific wedding dance, learning step sequences, even choreographing sections. Please Note: In general, choreographing your entire wedding dance is not advised as, if there's a mistake, it is difficult to recover.

My emphasis is on learning how to dance. You'll have all the basic steps and a thorough understanding of different dances and types of music, particularly in how the character of the dance is a tool for interpreting the music being played.

If you are in a time crunch but want to make the most of your lessons,
you can sometimes compress these 10 (55) minute lessons into 6 lessons,
four lasting 2 hours with the final two hour lessons.


A Private Lesson guarantees optimal individual attention from the instructor. However, you are NOT guaranteed a private room. A Studio is typically shared with other Private Lessons taking place. The music is also shared on an equal basis.
