The two packages
Both packages are private lessons with Dennis PaSamba at the Irving Park Road studio.
- 3 lessons — $399 for the couple
- 6 lessons — $749 for the couple, includes a parent dance
No per-person split
Some studios quote a rate per dancer and then double it. We do not. The price on the page is the price for both of you, and it does not change for same-sex couples.
If a parent or a member of the wedding party joins the 6-lesson package for the parent dance, that is already covered by the $749.

Cost for Learning Your Wedding Dance
Your wedding dance is a special moment, and understanding the cost helps you plan. Dennis PaSamba Dance Company offers private wedding dance lessons at a set price per couple. There are no hidden fees or extra charges for different styles of dance or for choosing a specific instructor. We believe in transparent pricing so you know exactly what to expect from the start.
The investment covers not only the instruction but also dedicated studio time with Dennis. You get personalized attention focused solely on your dance goals. This ensures efficient learning and a comfortable environment. The price is all-inclusive for the lessons you choose.
These lessons take place at our studio in Chicago's Six Corners neighborhood. This convenient location on Irving Park Road makes it easy to access. Plus, free parking is available for all our students. We aim to make the learning experience as stress-free as possible, starting with straightforward pricing and an accessible location.
What Each Package Price Includes
Both our 3-lesson and 6-lesson packages cover private instruction for two people. This means you and your partner will be the only students during your scheduled time. Dennis will focus entirely on your specific needs and your chosen wedding dance. This personalized approach helps you learn quickly and confidently.
The $399 package provides three private lessons. This is often enough for couples to learn a simple, elegant first dance. It allows you to build foundational steps and feel comfortable moving together. Many couples find this package perfect for creating a memorable moment without extensive practice.
For those wanting more polish or a more intricate routine, the $749 package offers six private lessons. This extended time allows for deeper choreography, more complex turns, and perfecting your performance. It also includes the valuable addition of a parent dance. This allows a parent to join one of the lessons to prepare for their special dance with the bride or groom. This makes it a comprehensive option for your wedding day dances.
