Week by week

Wedding Dance Practice Schedule

Lessons teach the steps. Short practice at home keeps them. Ten minutes between lessons is enough if you do it a few times a week.

The schedule

A typical plan for the 3-lesson package:

  • Week 1: lesson 1, song and entrance. Practice the walk-in and hold.
  • Week 2: run the entrance twice a day, 10 minutes total.
  • Week 3: lesson 2, turn and middle. Practice the turn slowly.
  • Week 4: full run-through at home in your shoes.
  • Week 5: lesson 3, dip and finish.
  • Final week: two run-throughs, then rest the day before.

How to use 10 minutes

Play the song once without dancing, then dance it twice. Stop there. Short, regular practice beats one long session the night before.

Questions people ask

Can we film the lesson?

Yes. A short video at the end of each lesson makes home practice much easier.
