We first caught a glimpse of DanceWithChad.com at the huge bridal show at the Phoenix Convention Center. We loved watching the dancers but thought to ourselves "There is no way we could ever look that good for our first dance." I have always ...dreamed of learning how to dance; however, the trick was talking my fiancé into taking classes. One night, through a Mock Wedding by SKM Entertainment, we were able to talk to Chad and Yvonne with DanceWithChad.com. Their prices were awesome! An eight week wedding survival class for only $35 a person! If that wasn't good enough, we ended up winning the eight week class for free at the mock wedding. My husband had no excuse not to go now!
We took the "Wedding Survival Course" where other newly-weds were hoping to make their first dance unforgettable. Most of the couples, including us, had no experience dancing nor did they even have a song in mind. Chad and his assistants were awesome though in teaching us a variety of dance moves regardless of the situations.
My husband and I absolutely LOVED the classes so much that we started taking more in-depth classes such as Ballroom and a hot Tango/Salsa class. We learned how to dance Ballroom, Tango, Merengue, Foxtrot, Waltz, Jive, Jitterbug and East/ West Coast Swing! With such a variety of moves, we finally figured out a "first dance" that would allow our personalities to shine through. We chose "I Do" by Paul Brandt (a romantic Country song that speaks from the heart) and "Teenage Dream" by Katy Perry (a fun and spunky song that is completely us in a nutshell). I, a little on the wilder side, wanted to incorporate some really hot and sexy moves whereas Albert wanted a clean and romantic dance. Chad and his assistant Yvonne helped us put a dance together to do just that... and more!
The dance turned out absolutely incredible! We incorporated all of the moves we learned from the classes and made them into a dance that WE wanted and that was unique to US! Our family and friends were absolutely astonished and even after several months later, we still get compliments from our guests. Even though my dress broke during our dance, we kept on smiling and dancing, and it turned out better than we ever could have expected.
Not only did we have an absolutely amazing first dance and first experience as husband and wife, we learned how to dance together... that skill will forever be carried with us! Now we can dance at other weddings, parties, social and work events. We recommend this to any couples who are planning a wedding or even just looking to share a great hobby together!
