Wedding Dance Blooper

Wedding Dance Blooper of the Week: The High School Prom Sway

This is the infamous high school prom sway that everyone (including the guests) dread. For those who want to skip dance lessons and get by with this, try videotaping yourselves and see how long you can stand watching then divide that in half (your audience's attention span). The couple just hangs on each other and sways like zombies for 4 long minutes with all eyes and cameras spotlighting them... Do you have a picture or video of the "prom sway" to share? Post it here or on our Facebook Fan Page

Determining How Many Dance Lessons You Need

Determine what your dancing goals are first. This will affect when you start and how many lessons you choose. Don't worry too much about time constraints when considering quantity because we can offer double sessions. Once you have determined your goals, we can better advise you as to how many lessons we recommend for your individual needs. Consider the following:

• Do you want to learn enough just to "survive" the wedding dance?

• Do you want to have an interesting variety of moves for the wedding dance?

• Are you participating in additional Honors Dances?

• Do you plan on fast dancing during the general reception?

• Do you want to learn to dance in general at future social events?

• Do you want to enjoy a dinner/dancing date night with your fiance(e) during the wedding planning process?

• Do you want to share dancing as a hobby even after the wedding?
