What to Bring to Your Wedding Consultation

/in /by

Congratulations on your engagement! Let the planning and business of creating your perfect day begin! One really important aspect of your wedding day will be your first dance and the dancing that will follow it. At Dance FX Studios in the East Phoenix Valley, we have prepared countless couples for their wedding receptions. Some couples want a romantic first dance to put them as a couple in the spotlight. Others want the whole bridal party to be involved in a surprise reception-opening dance. Brides and grooms have brought their mothers and fathers to the studio as well, getting them ready for father-daughter and mother-son dances. Any idea that you have for your reception, we can help you! Your first step is to schedule a Wedding Consultation. This is an hour-long visit that includes discussion of your plans and visions and includes dancing! Read on to find out what to bring to your first lesson to get the most out of it.

Prior to your consultation, please prepare a list of possible song options that may be of interest to you. You may bring in your favorite songs on a CD, iPod, iPhone or flash drive for us to hear. We also have Spotify here at the studio, giving you access to more song options if need be. When choosing the right song for you, the sky is the limit! Gone are the days where you must dance to a slow, sappy love song on your wedding day. If you can’t decide or need some suggestions, your Instructor can guide you and offer up some popular song choices. Be creative, we can choreograph to almost anything! Believe us, we have!  Whether you like Salsa, Country, Rock, Pop or Argentine Tango music, we can give you the first dance of your dreams.

Pictures of the bride’s dress, dance shoes and dance floor dimensions are very helpful as well. This way, we can deliver a first dance that is appropriate for you and your surroundings. The fit, length and style of the bride’s dress effects what kind of dance moves will be most practical, as do her shoes. Information on what the groom will be wearing is also a part of the planning. Location and layout of the reception area are important for planning and spacing choreography.

Lastly, wear comfortable clothing and bring shoes as similar to those that you will be dancing in as possible for the dancing portion of the consultation. Again, the Consultation includes dancing and we want you to get started off on the right foot right away!

Dance FX Studios has so many lesson and class options for whatever you dream of on your wedding day. We thoroughly enjoy being a part of the most important day of your and your fiancee’s life! Call the studio or stop in for more information on how to make your wedding an event to remember.

Are you looking for that element of surprise and excitement on your wedding day? Would you like to give your guests an experience that they will never forget? Then “rock your reception” with the ultimate first dance wedding routine! While the cake may be gorgeous and the flowers beautiful, a dance choreographed just for you and danced at the most important event of your life will surely steal the memories of most as a highlight of your wedding.

Give your friends and family something truly unexpected with, what we like to call, a “Rock Your Reception” wedding dance. Wedding dance lessons to prepare you for looking AMAZING on the dance floor are a must. If you live in the Phoenix area, head over to Dance FX Studios in Mesa for wedding dance lessons. Guaranteed, one of our choreographers will deliver the perfect dance made just for you. For over a decade, the instructors at Dance FX Studios have choreographed thousands of first dances for Arizona brides and grooms. We have literally done it all! From the elegant and sophisticated wedding dances to the completely outrageous, to the dramatic, we will customize a dance that meets your every wish.

To get started, contact us by email at info@dancefxstudios.com or by phone at 480.968.6177 and set up a wedding dance consultation. The consultation will include a “meet and greet” and some dancing to give us a chance to see where you are at and what it will take to get you to where you want to go. The ultimate goal? To make you shine on your wedding day on that dance floor, of course! Each of our dance instructors is highly skilled at working with brides and grooms when it comes to understanding your wants for your wedding dance as well as your comfort level.

For those who really want to leave a lasting impression, we would be thrilled to teach you a sensual and intimate Argentine tango or a lively and sassy Salsa dance routine. If you were thinking of something more subdued, we can choreograph a beautiful Waltz or graceful Foxtrot dance to suit your personalities. For those on the more playful side, maybe a Swing would be just the dance that would reflect your personal styles. Another fun route, especially for those who live here in Arizona, is a Country Two Step. What a fun dance! Whatever dance style speaks to you, the instructor at Dance FX Studios are here to add that unique touch to your wedding dance.

Wedding dance consultations are offered throughout the week for your convenience. Monday through Friday we can accommodate you from noon to 8 pm by appointment in advance. On Saturdays, we are also available by appointment from 11 am to 4 pm. If you’re wondering how soon before the wedding to get started, the short answer is 4-6 months depending on how elaborate you would like your first dance to look. We have begun preparations as soon as a year in advance or as short as several weeks prior to wedding days, but, with more notice, you will really look and feel your best.

Dance FX Studios is located in the East Valley of Phoenix, Arizona. We are next to Tempe, Gilbert, Chandler, Scottsdale (and even close enough to those who live in Queen Creek to make it worth the drive 🙂 ). We would be honored to make your first wedding dance of your dreams a reality. Let us know when you are ready to learn to dance for your big day, and we will help to make your wedding day that much more special.
