Absolutely a dream experience! We decided about 4 months prior to our wedding to begin taking dance lessons, neither of us have any dance experience. Several of the other studios t...hat we reached out to stated that it was too late for us to begin lessons. La Danse said that it was absolutely not too late, and we began right away. Megan was our instructor, and she was wonderful to work with! We expressed that we did not want a dance that looked choreographed, but we wanted to learn how to dance. Megan assured us that it was OUR dance, and we can add or take away anything that we wanted! She choreographed a combo of the foxtrot and rumba to our song, and taught us basic steps first. Once we had those down, she choreographed an intro, which only took us one class to learn. We did request to tweak a few of the moves to make it feel less choreographed, and she happily re-worked things. We signed up for 5 classes initially, and they were very accommodating with our difficult schedule. We took classes about once a week, and we were finished learning the dance by the end of the 5 sessions. We added on a few refresher sessions closer to the wedding to make sure we felt comfortable. We had a little extra time at some of the classes, and she taught us a few swing steps, which was so much fun!
The dance was absolutely perfect at the wedding! Other than a music malfunction, everything went smoothly. We felt confident in our skills, and we were able to talk during our dance instead of thinking about the next move! All of our guests absolutely loved it! I would highly recommend!
