Drew and I wanted to thank you for all your help and patience with our amazing 1st dance. It was definitely the highlight of our wedding. To this day we still get compliments. The dance lessons leading up to our wedding day were always so much fun...Drew was so confident in the dance that I just let him lead me through to our perfect ending, which we killed it!! We nailed the lift and dip! :) Everyone loved it! The dance really added a special element to the whole day...You were an absolute pleasure to work with and we will have no hesitation recommending you to others.

(The Wedding Dance Experts at) Heart & Sole Dance helped us to become so much more comfortable with our first dance! Although we were late in the game and only had 2 sessions, the dance instructors were extremely accommodating and made the most of our limited time. I would highly recommend them!

We went to (The Wedding Dance Experts at) Heart & Sole Dance for choreography and lessons for our first dance at our wedding. We had weekly lessons for about 4.5 months ahead of our date. We absolutely LOVED Kat and she made every lesson a delight! Our guests were floored by our dance and we had so much fun learning and doing it! Yes it was nerve wracking but so worth it! And honestly we would have been just as nervous to go up there and be the center of attention while we just swayed and stumbled around anyway :) We highly recommend (The Wedding Dance Experts at) Heart & Sole and it made the entire planning process a little more fun!

Frequently Asked Questions
When should we begin lessons?
This is our most commonly asked question when speaking to newly engaged couples. The answer is different for every couple as every couple is unique! The 'sweet spot' for when to come in for your Wedding Dance Planning Session is at least 4 months out from your wedding date. Does that mean that you should wait until exactly 4 months until your wedding day? Absolutely not! Whether you like to plan way ahead and want to come in a year before your wedding or your dance is last on your to-do list and you come in a month before, we can help. We've worked with wedding couples (father/daughter, mother/son, bridal parties..etc.) with a limited timeframe and a longer timeframe. We can make your first dance a reality no matter what!
How many lessons do we need?
This question is incredibly unique for every couple. No two couples are the same, therefore we don't have a one-size fits all wedding package. We care about YOU and what YOU envision for your first dance. For the couples that want to learn how to move comfortably together but don't want anything fancy, we recommend one to five lessons. For the couples that want a more in-depth experience, we recommend more rather than less. The actual number of lessons will be determined by your full vision and schedules.
Do you only work with brides and grooms?
Not at all! We work with many father/daughter and mother/son duos, bridal parties, and even wedding guests looking to move comfortably together. Don't be afraid to bring your ideas to one of our Wedding Dance Experts at your Wedding Dance Planning Session. Your Expert will be able to provide advice and recommendations for your vision.
WHAT SHOULD WE WEAR TO OUR LESSON?
Wear whatever you are most comfortable in! We ask you to wear shoes similar to or the exact shoes shoes you'll be wearing the day of your wedding to break them in and get comfortable moving in them.
HOW OFTEN SHOULD WE PRACTICE?
As often as possible! Your first dance is the only piece of your big day that requires muscle memory. We recommend small chunks of practice time: as little as 5 minutes to as many as 30 minutes. We are happy to make take-home videos for you following your private lesson so that you have a visual learning tool when you practice.
HOW DO I SHORTEN MY FIRST DANCE SONG?
We are more than happy to edit your song for you! In fact, this is such a common request from our wedding couples that many of our wedding packages include a song edit. Most songs are 4:00-5:00 minutes in length and for most first dance songs, we recommend 2:30-3:30 minutes.
