Instructions

1. 
   Wedding Dance Lessons

   If you have limited time or funds for wedding dance lessons, the perfect place to start is with your local Department of Parks and Recreation. You will often find adult dance classes listed in Parks and Recreation class catalogs which may be found at your local grocery stores – or you can type in “(Your Town) Parks and Recreation” in Google to find a website with listings and schedules for various adult dance classes.

2. The popularity of the Dancing With The Stars TV show has really increased demand and availability for wedding dance lessons in various ballroom styles. You’ll very likely find adult dance classes in the waltz, the rumba, and the tango, which are particularly suited for wedding dances. Adult dance classes offered by the Department of Parks and Recreation are incredibly affordable and convenient, and they’re a great way to learn latin ballroom dancing right in your own backyard!

   Adult Dance Classes

   Most cities have a number of local dance studios – many of which will offer wedding dance lessons for couples. These adult dance classes run the gamut from very beginner level to advanced, competition style ballroom dancing like the routines seen on the Dancing With The Stars TV show. Wedding dance lessons at dance studios are often in a smaller group setting than Parks and Recreation classes, and subsequently will be more expensive. They’re perfect for couples who need extra guidance with their wedding dance lessons, or those who prefer a more intimate setting than in public adult dance classes.

4. If taking wedding dance lessons from a professional appeals to you, and you can afford it, you can also opt to take private dance lessons, either one-on-one from a dance studio or with an outside teacher. Private dance classes are usually contracted (you must purchase a certain number of wedding dance lessons that are charged by the hour) and because of the demand created by the Dancing With The Stars TV show, and the amount of time and commitment required, these private dance classes will be quite costly.

5. 
   Private Dance Lessons

   A reputable dance studio with either offer private dance lessons, or will be able to recommend a teacher. A great benefit is that your teacher will often choreograph your wedding dance to specifically suit your selected song, and in any of the latin ballroom styles that appeal to you. These high-end wedding dance lessons will certainly wow your guests and create memories that you’ll never forget!

Tips & Warnings

• Be sure to ask your teacher which styles they offer in their adult dance classes, especially if you are interested in a particular type of dance that you’ve seen on the Dancing With The Stars TV show. Some styles are more suited to weddings, and more easily taught in wedding dance lessons, than others.
• The style of song that you select will influence the kind of adult dance classes you want to take. A song with a 3/4 time measure is best for the waltz, which is a popular dance style from the Dancing With The Stars TV show. The tango requires a more pronounced 2/4 or 4/4 beat, while the rumba is more free-form. The instructor who teaches your wedding dance lessons will help you determine the style that works best with your music and your abilities!

I did a fair amount of research on dance studios and dance classes on the internet, and made a decision. Worked for me.
