For almost every wedding, a very important part of the wedding reception is the first dance between the new bride and groom. This dance is used to cement the relationship between man and wife and is generally a very formal affair. For many individuals, this will be the first time that they have ever attempted a classical dance and may be unsure of the steps or timing that will be needed to make their first wedding dance with their new spouse a success.
This is the main reason why dance lessons prior to the wedding ceremony are so important. Scheduling lessons with a professional dance instructor can provide an individual with the instruction and practice that they need before their wedding to ensure that they will not embarrass themselves at their reception by not knowing how to perform the dance. A professional dance instructor will work with individuals at their own pace and teach them the dance that they desire in a way that is comfortable for them.
Many couples choose to take their wedding dance lessons together, not only to prepare for their wedding but to bond and have fun together as well. Some individuals describe their wedding dance lessons with their partner as more fun than they could have imagined and say that they learned many things about their partner during the lessons that they had not known previously.
Couples who choose to take dance lessons together feel more comfortable performing the dance at their wedding reception because they have already ironed out all of the difficult portions of the dance and can accommodate any weaknesses in each others dance technique, allowing the dance to be modified to the strengths of each individual and performed as properly as possible.
Professional dance instructors for wedding dance lessons have experience in teaching couples techniques that will make the dance that they have chosen easy for the couple to perform. Dance moves can be modified to allow for physical limitations, such as a height discrepancies or reduced flexibility, making it possible for any couple to have a beautiful wedding dance. In the vast majority of cases, no one other than the couple performing the wedding dance will ever realize that the moves have been modified.
There are several different types of dances that are commonly chosen for wedding dance lessons from a professional dance instructor. The most commonly chosen type of dance is the waltz, due to its classical look, easily learned steps, and slow pace. Other commonly chosen dances include the Salsa, the Rumba, and traditional ballroom dances.
Many couples first choose the song that they will perform their first dance to prior to deciding to take wedding dance lessons. In these cases, the professional dance instructor will choreograph a wedding dance for the couple that matches the music that they have chosen for their first dance. This way, the couple can have a beautiful wedding dance to a song that has great meaning for them.
There are many reasons why wedding dance lessons with a professional dance instructor are an important part of wedding planning. The first dance as a married couple is an important part of the wedding reception and will provide the couple with a memory that will last a lifetime. Professional dance lessons will make the experience even more memorable and special for the individuals involved.

Country Dance Lesson Tips: Things to Avoid!

A note to the astute reader: If you have a country dance lesson scheduled with me, you can do – and wear – anything you’d like. That’s a huge advantage of our Learn How to Dance DVD programs – they offer exclusive anonymity. When you do venture to the country dance club, however, there are a few things you should remember in terms of etiquette:
• Imagine you’re in the middle of the watermelon crawl or the gator boogie and you’re the only one on the floor with any idea of the steps. Be patient with other dancers who may not have mastered a country dance. After the music stops, recommend Shawn Trautman’s DVDs to them.
• Wear proper attire. That means a simple outfit of jeans and a comfortable shirt. Your dancing skill will speak for itself. Consider investing in a pair of dance boots, which have soft, flexible soles. And ladies, leave the high heels at home. One wrong twist and your ankle can turn.
• Avoid droopy cowboy hats. If you can’t see over your brim, you won’t notice a slick area on the dance floor.
• If you forget the steps, don’t panic. The country dance crowd is as accepting as they are casual, and no one’s going to usher you off the floor for forgetting a step-ball-change. Country hospitality is at work even in the most hole-in-the-wall honky tonks, with “Yes Ma’ams” and “Excuse Me’s” all around.
Above all, remember to enjoy yourself. You’ve perfected your moves during your country dance lesson with Shawn Trautman, so you have the tools to succeed. Try to remember Shawn’s tips during the song and have fun!
