FAQ
Q: When should we start taking lessons?
A: I recommend at least 2 months prior to your wedding date for maximum comfort on the dance floor. However, couples have come to me for 1-3 hours right before the big day and we’ve worked with the time efficiently and effectively!
Q: How many lessons do I really need?
A: Again, that depends on you both, your willingness to practice, and how comfortable you want to look and feel during your dance. Most of my "regular" couples take 3-5 lessons. My couples doing "unusual first dances" take ten+ lessons.
Q: What kind of music should I use?
A: Use music that means something to you both; I will work with whatever you bring in to me. Your song is your special expression of your love for each other and I am here to help you create a dance that fits your personalities and your song. Click on the links below for some ideas!

Q: My fiancé/fiancée
"doesn’t dance", can we actually move together like this?
A: Absolutely! Often I find it is the partner that “wasn’t so sure” that turns out to be really into the lessons. I will teach you romantic and easy-to-learn steps in a relaxed, one-on-one fashion that will be fun for you both.
Q: Are there benefits to private lessons?
A: Private instruction offers you individualized teaching geared to your specific needs and abilities and in your time frame and on your schedule.
Q: What about the dance with my Dad, Mom, Father-in-law or Mother-in-law?
A: I've taught lots and lots of father daughter dances and mom son dances. Everyone will probably dance with eveyone else at the wedding so it's a good idea to get moms and dads in for even one lesson to make them feel comfident and comfortable on the dance floor. Bring in the whole wedding party – you’ll be surprised at how much everyone loves to dance!
