Wedding Package for your "First Dance"My dance wedding package is quite simple. I get a lot of requests from brides and grooms asking me to teach them something special and appropriate for their wedding first dance. So what I do is put together a package of three private lessons to teach you exactly that.You will learn at your own pace and your lessons will be tailored to your specific First Dance requirements. You will not only learn how to dance, but also how to walk on to the dance floor and end your First Dance elegantly. This is your wedding, your night to shine, you are the stars!Each lesson is one hour long and I recommend that you take the three hours on separate days to give you a chance to practice and absorb the information.It is recommended that you choose and have a copy of the song you want for your First Dance when we meet for your first lesson. CD format is preferable.If you are not sure of which song would be best then bring in several choices. I can advise you on the suitability of each choice. If you do not have any music at all, I may be able to recommend something for you.It it best to wear comfortable clothing and shoes for your lesson. You may wish to try-out your Wedding shoes, but you probably will not want to wear them throughout the lessons.The cost of the package is $180.00 (within 60 kilometers of Edmonton). To make an appointment please contact me directly by phone or email (see below). |
Most people think of ballroom dancing as being "rigid" and "stuffy".This misconception couldn't be farther from the truth.Many nightclubs play music that you can ballroom dance to...if you know how! Top-40 and "dance" clubs typically play many Swings, Rumbas, Cha Chas, Foxtrots and Sambas.And with today's current Latin craze, people are discovering Latin nightclubs and find that they recognize the Mambo's, Merengues, and Cha Cha's being played from listening to pop radio. |

Benefits to Ballroom DancingSpeaking from a man's perspective, ballroom dancing has been a hobby, exercise, a stress reliever, and a very enjoyable activity for me since 1990. It has given me a great deal of mental, physical, and even spiritual satisfaction.For you the benefits may be less complex. Perhaps, like myself, your confidence will gain a boost. I certainly felt a lot more confidant after learning how to dance. I find that it is a lot easier to meet people when they know or have seen your dancing abilities. It can start conversations and even lead to finding romance and / or friendships.For those of you already in a relationship I have noticed that spending that quality time, just for the two of you, seems to go a long way in improving the relationship. You now have a shared activity that you both enjoy and it gets you out of the house and away from the normal daily grind.Over the years I have been able to keep my weight at a relatively steady level and I attribute this to dancing as well. Obviously the physical / exercise value of dancing is self-evident. If you have lead a sedentary or inactive lifestyle then even one night a week dancing can and will make a difference.Finally, learning to dance has improved my attitude, my carriage, and my polish. I feel that I am better equipped to handle other situations in life just because I have learned to dance and all that happens during the learning process. |
I'll bring the music and the steps and even with two left feet,you will be ..........Dancing On Cloud Nine! |
