Coming to Dance Plus for our first dance was one of the best decisions we made during our wedding planning. We did the wedding consultation first and it was absolutely worth it. They used the information our wedding planner provided and expanded on it in a way that none of us had even considered, even though we hired a wedding planner who had been in business for 20 years.
After that we did the introductory special and our instructor was absolutely amazing. She was fun, knowledgeable, and we felt so much more comfortable after just one lesson. Truthfully, we were dreading taking our first dance lesson before we came it. The whole staff did a great job of making us feel comfortable.
Our song was " At Last," by Etta James, and our dance ended up being classy and elegant. Something we had no idea we could even accomplish.
We have ended up continuing group dancing after our wedding because we absolutely love it. It is the highlight of our week spending time together, and we can't thank you enough.
