Wedding Preparation

“Dance With Me!” has processed over 600 bridal couples, up to 20 couples per 2-month group session. It’s success is due to having a range of lessons, which cover all dance music selections.  “The Slow Dance” Class is exclusive to “Dance With Me!” where instead of just modifying a ballroom dance to fit the very specific tempo of Love Songs or Ballads, we created a “dance” style that is romantic, sweet and sure to get the best response from guests at the wedding reception. With two basics, underarm turns, dips, cuddles, romantic lay backs and more, the Slow Dance Class is a sure crowd pleaser.  More theatre arts than traditional Ballroom, this class is perfect for the modern Bride and Grooms choice of more contemporary music for their first dance.  Of course the traditional Waltz or Foxtrot is still a favorite. The wonderful Frank Sinatra love songs and Harry Connic, Jr. Foxtrots then, offer Bridal couples have a wide range of possibilities to choose from.  But, don’t stop there – we have worked with whole bridal parties, the Father of the Bride and the Mother of The Groom with their dances as well.

Putting It Together:
A lot goes into the process of perfecting the presentation of the First Dance.  Usually, this can be done with only one private lesson after learning the steps has been done either in privates or group.  We teach you a romantic entrance, how long to be on the floor and then how to bring in the Father-Daughter dance or any other dance issues.  This is critical to make a really professional presentation as well as having the Bridal Couple comfortable about presenting themselves to friends and family.  The information we need includes:  Dress type, where guests are seated, when to do your dance, how big the floor is and what is in the room as far as table set up, etc.   This will help us know how to present the dance to your guests so that you are visual to everyone and any photographer or videographer. We even show you some poses for your photographer.  We also council you as to the best way to handle the Musical part of the presentation.  Then, you have a wonderful, exciting and most importantly, a memorable “First Dance”.
 
It has been our experience thru feedback from our past Bridal Couples, that it was well worth their time to invest in this part of the reception.  This is when, other than as you take your vows, that you are the most visible to everyone at the wedding, so it is important to take the time to make an investment in this part of the wedding preparation.
