We are just days away from the end of 2015, and that means we get to ring in the new year ahead with friends and family! YAY! It also means that many couples will be getting engaged. New Year’s Eve is a common, but very romantic, day of the year to say “I do”. With that being said, enjoy the holiday because the year ahead will be filled with lots of wedding day planning.

If you’re wanting the wedding of your dreams, and why wouldn’t you, then kick off 2016 with a very important part of your big day with Wedding Dance Lessons. Yes, now is the time to begin thinking about exactly what you would like your first dance to look like. Were you thinking of a romantic Waltz, a seductive and surprising Argentine tango, or a playful Swing dance? All great ideas! Maybe you hadn’t gotten past, “We just don’t want to look ridiculous in front of our loved ones”. That’s OK. We don’t want you to look or feel silly either, so let’s get you started on the right foot with a Wedding Dance Consultation.

At Dance FX Studios in the Phoenix East Valley, we invite all of our brides and grooms to schedule a private, one-hour Wedding Dance Consultation so that we can get to know you and find out about the wedding dance you have always wanted. We will assist you in finding the perfect song (or songs) that suits your personalities, as well as begin to develop a vision for your wedding dance.

As I mentioned, some couples truly have no idea of what they want. Many have never even danced before. This is why it’s so important to begin taking dance lessons for your wedding now, rather than wait for everything else to be completed. Ordering flowers does not require you to learn an entirely new skill together as a couple, so it is definitely a priority to start learning to dance while you’re figuring everything else out. By the end of your Wedding Dance Consultation with us, you will get all of your questions answered and we will even personalize a dance program for you so that you can look amazing on your wedding day.

To make the most of your consultation, here are a few of my favorite tips…

1. Bring in up to 10 of your favorite songs. Forget about whether they sound too slow or seem to fast to dance to; we will help determine that for you. The key is to find music that you love, that speaks to you. If you have a story behind the song, great! If you just like rocking out to it in the car, no problem! If your music doesn’t work for dancing, we’ll let you know. Our goal is to make you look great and, as professionals with 20+ years of wedding dance experience, that will happen!
2. Come with a few ideas of your perfect wedding dance. Slow and romantic, sultry and smooth, unexpected and original, or a combination of all three…we have literally done it all! Again, if it won’t work, we’re not shy to let you know. What’s most important is that you are prepared and relaxed so that you can look your best. That’s where our expertise comes into play. 🙂
3. Print out a layout of your reception space, with dimensions of your dance floor. We want to know everything from the material that you will be dancing on (wood, cement, tile, carpet, etc..) to where your guests will be seated. We can’t have you doing a beautiful dip facing a wall, right? Every little piece matters, so bring in what you can and we’ll get you ready from there.

A Wedding Dance Consultation with us at Dance FX Studios includes so much more than even what I’ve included above. There’s really no better time that January to make time to learn to dance for your wedding. Even if you’re not tying the knot until the end of 2016, you’ll be glad that you had the year to learn to couple’s dance. Plus, with Wedding Dance Lessons, you will have a great way to stay connected and sane through your wedding planning process. Trust me, it can be daunting, but with a great way to relieve stress as well as learn a new, romantic hobby, your wedding planning can be a breeze. We look forward to helping you to shine on the dance floor in 2o16!
