First Dance Online
What type of online dance lessons interest you?
Zoom First Dance Lessons
The Most Popular Option
Zoom first dance lessons are tailored to you and your partner's experience and song choice and take place over video-chat so you can learn and respond in real-time. Zoom lessons are just like in-studio lessons in that you have live, one-on-one time with your instructor who will demonstrate new steps/concepts and give direct feedback. We find this method to be the easiest for learning first dances.
Cost: $135 - $180 per lesson, depending on the number purchased.
Recorded Dance Lessons
Convenient Lesson Schedule
Recorded first dance lessons are designed for couples who prefer tailored instruction and a custom-fit learning experience, but don't have time for Zoom lessons. These recordings are taught by two teachers (leader/follower) and are sent to you so you can learn at your own convenience - start, rewind and pause the videos as necessary. You also have the option of sending video of yourself dancing to receive feedback from your instructors.
Cost: $200 - $250 per video, purchased in sets of 4, 6, 10 or 15 videos.
Basic first dance tutorials are perfect if you have a lot of time before your wedding and want to learn some basics for your first dance. The tutorials will teach you a whole first dance, including a few turns and a dip at the end. We recommend supplementing this program with Zoom lessons in order to get instructor feedback and to connect the dance moves you learn to your specific song.
