Frequently Asked Questions

CAN I REALLY LEARN TO DANCE ONLINE IF I’M A COMPLETE BEGINNER?

Absolutely 100% YES! These online courses were designed with beginners in mind. We’ve taught hundreds of couples over the years and 99% of them were complete beginners. Couples that were not able to see us in person were receiving virtual instruction from us via Skype and Zoom. Once we saw online lessons were equally effective, we came up with the idea for this virtual school. We’ve put years of experience to make these courses easy to follow and guarantee results. You will be surprised with how fast you’ll learn. You are not the first, it’s been done and it WORKS!

HOW MUCH SPACE WILL WE NEED TO PRACTICE THE DANCE?

Not much at all! Most often, the average living room space will do. Sometimes you might need to move some furniture out of the way, especially if it has sharp corners. Extra tip: wear appropriate footwear not to slip.

HOW FAR IN ADVANCE SHOULD WE START PREPARING FOR OUR FIRST DANCE? HOW OFTEN SHOULD WE PRACTICE?

Just like with anything else in life – practice makes perfect. The more you rehearse, the more comfortable and confident you will look and feel on your wedding day. If you start preparing in advance you will be able to fit in more rehearsals before your wedding and minimize the stress. Try not to take extra long breaks between your rehearsals to keep the flow going and not to forget what you’ve already learned. The great thing about online courses is that you can do it on your own schedule and at your own pace. We suggest starting 2-3 months in advance. Starting even earlier? Great! Only have one week left before the wedding? You can still do it! Just make sure you fit in as many practice sessions as possible in the next few days.

HOW DO WE CHOOSE THE SONG FOR OUR FIRST DANCE? HOW LONG SHOULD IT BE?

Choosing a song for your First Dance is a very personal thing and there is no right or wrong. Choose a song that is special and meaningful, the one that resonates with both of you and you will enjoy dancing to. From our experience, the sweet spot in terms of length of the song is somewhere between 2-3 minutes. You can ask the DJ to fade out the music at a certain point of your dance. It is always a good idea to edit the song to a perfect length. For your convenience we’ve prepared a list of popular First Dance Songs. If you need help editing a song or creating a mashup, you can request it on our EXTRAS page.
