"With less than two months
until the wedding, Rebecca choreographed and customized an amazing foxtrot for us. Rebecca's infectious energy coupled with
her patience for students make her a great dance teacher. We not only had an amazing wedding dance, but we had a great time
learning all of the dance moves during the weeks leading up to the big day. Thanks so much, Rebecca!" :) Baovy & Vu,

How many lessons will we need? Obviously,
you cannot learn how to dance in one or two lessons; but, you can learn a few basic dance steps that can be repeated throughout
the dance, how to hold each other in a proper closed dance position, and a fun dip and kiss at the end. Entrance and exit
strategies can be choreographed in a few dance lessons as well. Five lessons are adequate for all of this, but customized
choreography that uses the song's dance style and interprets it artistically may require more than 5 dance lessons.
Wedding Dance
Shoes: Ladies, it is highly recommended for your wedding dance that you purchase specifically a separate pair
of dance shoes which have the proper support, secure fit, and suede sole. It is also highly recommended that ladies have their
dress length altered to accommodate their wedding (dance) shoes, not their wedding street shoes. More often than not, the
bride's wedding dress is long and her shoes cannot be seen underneath her dress. Therefore, an appropriate pair of dance shoes
can be worn during the first dance and the guests will be none the wiser. Also, for brides-to-be who have not yet purchased
their wedding shoes, it is highly recommended to go ahead and get wedding dance shoes. There are now dance shoes designed
specifically for a wedding first dance that rival any designer street shoes currently on the market. Best of all, if you purchase
dance shoes as your wedding shoes, they can then be worn again for dancing lessons dates with your husband after you get married.
And what better reason is there than that!
A Note About Customized First Dance Choreography:
Keep in mind that all dancing is choreographed. Learning just a few dance steps and repeating the same steps throughout a
routine is still choreography. Couples will sometimes say that they don't want a choreographed wedding dance; or, that they
don't want their wedding dances to look rehearsed or unnatural. Or couples will say that they do want their first dance choreographed.
The issue is not whether or not a dance is choreographed, but rather the degree to which the choreography interprets the music.
The highest degree or the art of dance choreography occurs when a choreographer allows the original inspiration of the musician's
song or music to inform his or her choreography. Rest assured that your wedding dance(s) will be choreographed to your natural
ability and will flow in sync with the time signature, tempo pattern, and phrasing of the song of your choosing. "Rebecca,
Gary and I thank you for helping us to learn the tango for our awesome sunset wedding. While we weren't perfect, your dancing
instruction prior to our wedding was not only great fun, but enabled us to feel comfortable on the dance floor, which was
very important to us. We would suggest to anyone to call upon you for dance lessons prior to any dancing event." ~Carol Artz-Bucek, President/CEO, Pearland TX Chamber of Commerce |
