Now let’s talk about the need for a dance course urgently because you’re getting married in a few months or weeks. There are many situations here, but the most common one is that one of you doesn’t enjoy dancing for multiple reasons. Perhaps they’ve tried it before but didn’t learn, had bad experiences with dancing, or simply never attempted it, and all these reasons are very understandable. However, it’s something you need to do. Here are some ideas to suggest to your partner in a pleasant and subtle way that you should take dance classes, so you both can enjoy your wedding event even more:

1. While discussing wedding matters, casually mention the idea of wanting to do something together for your first dance and how you’d love to dance really well at that moment.
2. Watch movies featuring couples dancing and propose the idea of finding a dance school to learn a routine or choreography.
3. Recall how the last weddings you attended went and whether the couples danced well or poorly, and think about whether you’d like to be in the same situation.
4. Have a “wedding dance rehearsal” and have someone record it. Then, watch the video together afterward. You might discover that you’re doing great or realize if you need a little help.
5. Convince your partner to take just one dance class to overcome fears and misconceptions about classes. Always seek a true professional to learn something, not your cousin, friend, or aunt who always dances at parties.
6. Ask your partner what song they’d like for your first dance, and if they’re indifferent, take the initiative and tell them you’re going to practice to see if you really need to learn.
7. If your partner is reluctant, you can negotiate taking a “dance course” for “something else” your partner wants.
8. Watch wedding dance “fails” videos on YouTube and then watch well-executed dances to see the difference.
9. If your partner is a die-hard salsa enthusiast and believes they don’t need classes because they already move well, try dancing to a slow romantic song so they can see and feel the difference.

Remember that the concepts of “having two left feet” or “lack of rhythm” are, in my experience, non-existent. It’s rather a skill that wasn’t learned properly at the right time. To correct this, you need a good dance teacher who can “explain and teach,” as well as patience, effort, time, and understanding from the couple learning to dance. Both the dance teacher and the dance partner, whether the bride or groom, must provide enough confidence and tranquility to the student learning so they feel comfortable and can make mistakes constructively without feeling frustrated during the learning process. Taking words from former students; taking a dance course before the wedding is one of the best decisions they could have made. Learning to dance has many advantages, primarily being something you’ll do together, have fun, and enjoy. I hope this information is helpful. Congratulations on your engagement and dance a lot!
