Dance Lessons

rach1200

Hi all.  I'm looking for somewhere to take wedding dance lessons.   I live in Uptown and probably would prefer to keep it in a 15-20 mile radius.  There are so many places listed when I googled it, so if anyone has personal recommendations to help me narrow the choices down I would appreciate it.

Thanks and happy Sunday!

I think Arthur Murray does a great job.  Two of our friends started taking lessons there probably a year and a half before their wedding and I am super jealous of their skills.  There's one off of 635 between Preston and Hillcrest.

There's another Arthur Murray in Plano at Independence and Spring Valley (I think).

I'd also look into The Rhythm Room (link) and Vow to Dance (same people, but different packages/classes focused on people preparing for weddings, link) on Greenville. I've taken swing classes with Kathy and Elaine, and they're both fantastic instructors.

We took private lessons from a lady based in the mid-cities area (so, that doesn't really help you, I know). I just wanted to chime in that I wish we hadn't taken lessons at all. I think you're probably far enough out that if you really want to make it happen, you can...but you really have to commit to it to make it work. While I do have a dance background, my H has 2 left feet. We probably started lessons out a month and a half before the wedding and it was honestly too much pressure. Everything turned out fine, but with so many other last minute projects to tackle, it stressed us out making time for it (and attempting to find time to practice). So I would suggest to get it going ASAP. 

Anyway, just my two cents!

This makes sense, and explains why one of the dance places suggested planning it 4 to 6 months before the wedding.

[QUOTE]I feel like they give a base list of prices on their website, but it's going to vary depending on what you want so your best bet is to call them yourself.

Yeah I didn't see anything on the few I looked at.  I was just wondering a general to see if it worth my time to investigate.
