WEDDING DANCE PREPARATION

The Wedding Reception traditionally includes a solo dance for the newly married couple. This aspect of your special day deserves as much attention to detail as the ceremony, attire and banquet, yet is often overlooked with the result that the newly married couple simply do the uninspiring “high school prom night hug & sway”.  We do a great deal of wedding dance preparation and would be pleased to assist you.  We can choreograph a beautiful routine to your chosen piece of music so that you will feel confident approaching the dance floor and your presentation will be polished, enjoyable and memorable. Plus, your new-found ballroom dance skills will lay the foundation for an activity that you can enjoy together for the rest of your lives.  Send an e-mail to:  liz@eandrballroomdance.com to get in touch and get started on your wedding dance preparation journey today!

PRACTICE SESSIONS

You will get so much more out of your dance classes if you are able to find a little time to practice in between to keep your dancing skills refresh and help you retain what you are working on in class.
