Just a few short years ago, it seemed almost all our friends took dance lessons for their weddings. We didn't really get the big deal, then we went, and saw that it made a REALLY BIG difference, compared to those that didn't.
Well, it's been a few years, and we are the last of our old crew to get married. But, when we started looking around on the blogs for referrals for different things, we noticed that no one seems to be taking dance lessons for their weddings much anymore, at least none that we could find. Luckily, one of my friends still had a card for the company they used, and gave it to me (Lee and Christine,

Everyone wants vendors to be cheap, convenient AND good, and we definitely got that. What really got us excited about them though, is they are a husband and wife team that started out as a wedding couple, getting ready to dance for their reception! They understand everything we are going through, and really know how to work with us! They offer all kinds of lesson, pricing and scheduling options, which helped us a lot.
Hope this helps anyone who is thinking about it. Even though there doesn't seem to be a lot people doing it anymore, we've been to enough friend's weddings (15 in just a few years) to know it's really a good idea.
