Wedding Dance Coaching

Empire Dance has taught many couples in preparation for their wedding dance. Simple or fancy, your first dance should reflect your style. From basic waltz to show-stopping tango — we give you the skills and confidence to look great on your special day!

We Make Learning Fun! Couples often say that their dance lessons were the most romantic, relaxing moments in the midst of hectic wedding preparations!

What’s the Best Plan to Follow? A series of Private Lessons will give you the time you need to focus on your wedding dance. We teach you all you need to know to really ‘lead and follow’ (not just memorize some steps!) so you will be able to have a blast dancing at your wedding reception and beyond! In this way, your wedding dance truly becomes “A Dance to Last a Lifetime!”

What about Music? Couples are encouraged to bring their wedding music to class to tailor the dance to their first song. Our instructors can help advise couples on choosing music if needed.
