I have just finalized a new add on to my wedding packages that I think that brides will be interested in, dance lesions. Yes you read that right, dance lesions. These lesions are for aimed at the beginners but anyone at any skill level can take part in the lesion. So why dance lesson?
Well I have photographed many weddings in the past 10 years and one of the most common things to occur in the reception is the traditional bride and groom dance. Most of the dances I have seen have been the rocking side to side type of dance. Now think about it, you have put all this time and effort, well the bride has, to make this the most memorable day and your first dance you do together is rocking side to side? Why not a simple waltz, or a rumba? Going back to memory of my past receptions I do recall two couples that made their first dance a simple ballroom dance, and everyone was impressed. In fact that was the talk of the night and most likely the days to follow. I bet a lot of guys were asked to take dance lessons after that.
What can you expect from the lessons? Well these lesions are just to teach you the basics in your choice of dance. You will not be learning a choreographed number like the ones on “Dances with the Stars.” No you will be learning on how to do the steps of the dance you choose and how to dance in a group.
Now any groom that is reading this or hearing about this for the first time will have a look of panic on their face. That is understandable. Speaking from experience when my wife took me to an intro dance party I was not very happy to be there, but she is my wife and I wanted to spend more time with her so I went. When I was asked “why don’t I like to dance?” The answer was just the same as the rest of the men there, “I don’t want to look foolish trying to dance.” Some thought that they might look like, will less manly. Just rent the movie “Take the lead” and watch Antonio Banderas perform a Tango with his dance partner. If that is not manly I do not know manly. That Tango he preforms makes my wife weak kneaded. Reassure them that the dance lessons are easy, that they will be able to pick up the steps in no time, and best of all, they will be in control of you (the bride). Brides, you can always resort to this line “Think of dancing as foreplay.” You would not be lying. Well in my experience with dance.
So when you book a wedding with me ask about my complementary dance lessons. They are fun, and they are free in the majority of my premier packages
