It's Time to Dance!

Congratulations on your upcoming wedding and thank you for signing up for our Online Wedding Dance Course. You are only a few steps (and spins) away from creating the first dance of your dreams!

To make your life easier, we've divided our program into a few sections. The first two sections include the most essential dance elements that you must learn before moving on. The 3rd and 4th sections are the "icing on the cake" that you would like to learn to make your dance more fun and exciting. However, you are welcome to pick and choose what to learn in those two sections according to your ability, interests and time frame. The last two sections gives you details and additional tips to fine tune your masterpiece. There are also a few dance demos with detailed written patterns. You can simply use one of those patterns for your first dance or use them as inspiration to create your own. Possibilities are endless. Just have fun!

Remember, we are only a click away. You can always schedule a Skype lesson with us if you need any additional help with your first dance. And if you are interested in Custom Dance Choreography, we’d be happy to help! Simply fill out this questionnaire and get started!
