Getting Started Before The Wedding

With The First Dance’s online lessons, you can prepare for this unforgettable moment at your own pace, wherever and whenever it’s convenient for you. Here’s how to get started:

    • Begin your online lessons 6-8 months before the wedding to allow ample time for practice and confidence-building.

    • Early preparation helps your body and mind coordinate movements naturally, making your dance look polished and effortless.

    • Some couples start even earlier to explore social dance styles and feel at ease on the dance floor for the entire reception.

    • Have a special song in mind? Bring it to your virtual lessons, and we’ll help create a routine tailored to your track.

    • Not sure what song to pick? Our instructors can provide recommendations based on your style and vision.

    • Coordinating with your videographer? Online lessons give you the flexibility to rehearse specific camera angles and ensure every magical moment is beautifully captured.

    • Online lessons at The First Dance are highly customizable - you’re not limited to one style!

    • Choose from traditional ballroom dances like Waltz, modern favorites like Salsa or Swing, or unique styles like Hustle or Mambo.

    • Our instructors will help you match the dance style to your song, personality, and wedding theme, creating a routine as unique as your love story.

    • Schedule a free online consultation to discuss your goals, preferences, and song choice.

    • During the consultation, we’ll outline your personalized lesson plan and how we’ll help make your first dance truly unforgettable.
