At YourWeddingDance.ca, your first wedding dance as a married couple will be a memorable and romantic experience. Whether you are a beginner or an experienced dancer, we are here to help you make your wedding dance dreams come true.
We specialize in creating personalized choreography that reflects your unique style and love story. From elegant waltzes to lively swing dances, we will tailor the dance to match your vision and ensure that your first dance perfectly reflects your love and commitment.
Get Started With A Complimentary Tryout Lesson
The first lesson is complimentary for couples who book it more than 3 weeks (21 days) before their wedding or travel day (in the case of destination wedding)
Please remember that the following topics will come up during our first and successive wedding dance lessons.
It would greatly help if you know the information beforehand, but don’t worry if you are uncertain of anything; we can always start working together first. We will be more than happy to help you develop solutions and ideas as we move ahead.
Get Started – Your Information:
1-Both the groom and the bride’s names
2- Contact info: cell phone numbers and e-mails
In case you are also planning a father-daughter dance or mother-son dance, we will also need their names and contact information.
3 – Wedding day
The actual wedding day. Suppose it’s a destination wedding, the departure date.
4 – Music for your dance
A file of the wedding song you will be dancing to and the exact copy you will be giving your DJ (often, the same song may have different arrangements, singers and sound quality).
We’d like to suggest letting the bride pick the song she’s favorite song. Your choreographer, teacher, and groom will happily work with any of her choices!
While some couples prefer to perform their first dance to a live band, it’s important to remember that live music performances can differ from a recorded copy. This can pose challenges for beginner dancers, potentially leading to unnecessary emotional stress and mistakes. Consider these factors when making your decision.
In the case of father-daughter and mother-son dances, we also need information on music.
5 – Wedding gown
After we exchange emails, please email us a picture of the dress or a link to the page to view it online.
This will help us choreograph the dance, taking into account the clothing you will be wearing. Different dresses make specific dance moves more accessible or complex, and our ultimate goal is to ensure that the dance is safe, easy, and enjoyable for both of you on your wedding day. Additionally, we will teach you how to use the dress to make your first dance even more impressive!
Also, bringing a similar skirt to your classes to practice various techniques would be helpful. This is optional and intended to boost your confidence on your big day.
No need to worry if you don’t have a practice skirt! Our studio has plenty of white practice skirts and dresses available. This way, you and your groom can get comfortable with the dress and learn to move seamlessly.
Note that if you are concerned about your groom seeing your wedding dress, we guarantee that we will keep your secret!
Furthermore, brides come in for a private class in their wedding dresses and shoes to try out all the dance moves and embellishments. However, this is entirely optional and depends on you and your groom.
6 – Shoes
To start your first dance lesson, please bring clean and comfortable shoes.
This will help keep the dance floor free from dust and dirt.
Any well-maintained dress shoes will suit gentlemen, while ladies should bring shoes with similar heel heights to their wedding shoes. We don’t want to risk dirtying or damaging your beautiful wedding shoes.
After a few lessons, we recommend that you start practicing with your actual dance shoes. This will help you get used to the boots, break them in, and adjust their grip level.
It will also help you improve your balance.
7 – Size and shape of the dance floor (sitting arrangements)
To choreograph your wedding dance, we need an idea of the dance floor’s shape, size, and layout.
Understanding the size of your dance floor is critical to planning the perfect dance! For smaller dance floors, we focus on more stationary dance patterns that keep you close and intimate. This ensures your movements are smooth and elegant, making the most of your space.
On more extensive dance floors, we can incorporate travelling dance patterns. This allows for grand, sweeping movements that add an impressive flair to your routine. You’ll have the space to glide across the floor, making your dance feel dynamic and expansive.
Whether your dance floor is cozy or spacious, we’ll tailor the choreography to fit perfectly, ensuring every step feels natural and looks stunning. We’re here to make your first dance unforgettable, no matter the size of the dance floor!
Knowing where your guests will be during your First Dance is really helpful for us! By understanding their location, we can plan the perfect direction for your dance, ensuring that everyone gets the best view of your special moment. This way, we can choreograph the dance to highlight key moments and make sure your loved ones don’t miss a thing. It adds a personal touch to your performance and makes the experience even more memorable for you and your guests. We’re here to make your dance as magical and seamless as possible, so any details you can share will help us create the perfect plan for your big day. You can rest assured that we’re committed to making your dance a beautiful and unforgettable experience.
We need to know what material your dance floor is made of—wood, tiles, carpeting, or stone. This helps us ensure your safety and comfort while dancing. For example, attempting certain embellishments like lifts might be unsafe if the floor is concrete or rocks.
By understanding the dance floor’s material, we can adapt our choreography to suit the conditions, ensuring every move is beautiful and secure. Your safety is our top priority, and we want you to feel confident and relaxed on your special day.
Rest assured, we’ll work with whatever type of dance floor you have to create a stunning and safe first dance you’ll cherish forever!
