Your First Dance

Your nervousness from the ceremony will have faded and the hunger pains from not being able to eat all day will finally be satisfied.  You and your spouse will be introduced as husband and wife and asked to take the dance floor.  The music starts and you wow the crowd with a nice dance step, a few turns and a final dip as the song fades into silence.  It doesn't take much to make this very special moment one that you will cherish for the rest of your life.  But it does take some preparation.

At Date Night Dance Company we understand the importance of every detail in planning your special day.  The first dance starts with selecting the right song for you.  If you're still looking for that song, we can help. 

Once you have your song in hand, let's put it together with the dance that fits you and the styling of the song you've selected.  Our instruction will provide you with the foundation moves of that dance as well as a special move or two that will make the dance yours.  We will also teach you how to enter the dance floor with your partner, how to end the dance with flair and how to gracefully exit the dance floor.

Contact us today to schedule your wedding dance lessons!
Group Dance Classes and Private Dance Lessons to fit your busy schedule

Group dance classes are great for learning the basics and getting a feel for a few dances you'll want to know for your wedding dance.  It's a unique way to bond with each other and get away from the stress of plann ing.  Our wedding dance class will give you just the right moves for your dance.

Private wedding dance lessons allow couples to learn a few "showier" moves to put into their first dance.  This is also where you will learn how to gracefully enter the dance floor and put that grand finish on your dance.

Check our calendars and prices page for up-to-date information on schedules for group dance classes.  Private dance lessons are generally scheduled on Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays by appointment.
Don't Forget Parents and Attendants

Parents of the Bride and Groom as well as their attendants can have a lot of fun learning to dance.  Dance lessons become a social event when taken with family and friends and you'll all learn some new moves to show off on the dance floor. 

Date Night Dance Company's Wedding Dance Class uses some of the most popular wedding dance songs to teach you to dance.  How about learning to Salsa to "Let's Get it Started" by Black Eyed Peas, Cha Cha to "We are Family" by Sister Sledge or Swing to Kenny Loggins' "Footloose"?  This will make your dance fun and exciting!
