Why do we need a Bridal Specialist?
The last thing you want is to discover on the day is that you can't use the steps you've been taught because of the size and shape of the dance floor, the style and cut of the dress or because your live music is different to the CD version you had been practicing to.
You will also want to avoid embarrassing or stressful mishaps such as: tripping over, standing on or tearing the dress, or falling out of the dress or shoes.
A bridal dance specialist is aware of the many factors that need to be considered in planning your bridal dance. We will will make it fun and easy for you. Our specialist will discuss the style and cut of the bride's dress and shoes as well as the music, dance floor and layout to ensure that the dance and steps chosen are practical, safe and comfortable.
We understand that you are very busy during this time and just want the dancing to look good without being too complicated, stressful or showy.
What music should we use?
It doesn't hurt to have a few options.
On your first lesson, your instructor can give you some advice on which songs would be best in terms of speed, dance difficulty, the dress & dance floor.
If there is a special song that has meaning for the both of you - use that.
Don't worry if it sounds too fast or slow or is not a traditional waltz -
your instructor will choose a dance that suits the music & make it work
How do we structure the wedding dance?
Common Choices
​
1) You can dance the whole song on your own and have a separate piece of music for everyone else to join in on.
2) You can dance part of the song on your own, do a dip or other ending partway through the song, and then have the music fade out, using a separate piece of music for everyone else to join in on.
3) You can dance part of the song on your own, do a dip or other ending partway through the song, and then have the bridal party/guests join you on the floor for the rest of the song.
Your instructor will discuss these options with you on your first lesson.
What will we learn?
We teach you a few freestyle steps to get you around the floor. We focus on steps that are easy to do and look good.
To make your dance unique we can also choreograph a simple opening sequence and a nice dip or other ending. This is optional.
You may also want to consider learning a few steps in a different dance that you can use to dance away the rest of the evening - since your bridal dance is likely to be slow while the rest of your music is likely to be more upbeat.
Can we get the Wedding Party Involved?
YES!! It's great for the rest of the wedding party to feel confident about getting up and dancing with the happy couple.
We can involve them in the Wedding Dance itself if you are looking to put on a little performance.
ÓR or we can just teach them a few basic steps so they can join you on the dance floor without feeling to awkward. We can get them there in just a few lessons.
The bridal dance...
Once we know the song being used for the wedding dance we can teach them a few basic freestyle steps they can use to make them look good and feel comfortable on the dance floor.
The rest of the evening...
Once we know the type of music being played at the wedding, we can also pick one or two suitable dances and teach them a few basic freestyle steps in each.
They will be dancing the night away in no time and be well prepared for future weddings and social events.
How many lessons do we need?
Most couples find that around 5 lessons gets them reasonably comfortable with a few basic steps. We can tailor a program with more or less to suit your goals, time, budget & ability.
