Wedding Dance Lessons

  • 26 hires on Thumbtack

Angela E. says, "My daughter's wedding was 5 months away and it is tradition for my immediate family members to perform a dance routine for the celebrants--we have done this 4 times, since 2004, for 3 weddings and a 60th birthday. I was in search of a choreographer to teach 18 people 4 different dance routines! After evaluating a number of dance studios, based on their reviews, experience and fees, I was fortunate to find Kyoko Jennings. A sweet and enthusiastic professional dancer who majored in Dance at UCSD and competes nationwide. She specializes in latin and hip hop, and could probably do everything in between after seeing her Instagram. Kyoko offered several packages and her Diamond package fit us best. Very reasonable compared to the other choreographers and included 30 lessons! The package even included private lessons where she taught at my home for ~4 months then we went to the studio when we got closer to the wedding date. My husband and I wanted to learn a cha cha routine and boy did Kyoko deliver!!!! She was patient, considering my and my husband's beginner to intermediate skills and with her creativity and vision, she took the time and taught us a brilliant routine that exceeded my expectations. I firmly believe we were able to execute because of her skills, encouragement and motivation. A born teacher. I totally loved the cha cha routine, it wasn't boring, nor too basic, enhance the cha cha with our hips and have fun with it! There were 16 additional family members to teach 2 additional routines to, a for a father/daughter dance and a group NSYNC hip hop routine. Kyoko knocked the routines out of the park! Each routine was thoughtfully choreographed step by step, effervescent whole body dance moves! She challenged us and we appreciated it and so did the crowd! My most favorite was my daughter's dance with her dad, it was so classy and lovely, I was so moved and got so teary eyed. She offers the option to dance with other choreographers to assist with technique and an opportunity to work with other choreographers, for example Anthony fine tuned my and my husband's cha cha moves. Kyoko also has a professional mixer who put our 3 different songs together magnificently. Kyoko is open to ideas, flexible and adapts to your level but also challenges you if you are up to it. Kyoko is all about quality and she cares about her work. We loved the every minute with Kyoko and are forever grateful to her. Cheers Kyoko 🍾🫶🏼😊."See more

Q & A

Answers to commonly asked questions from the experts on Thumbtack.

What do you wear to swing dance lessons?

Swing dance is an increasingly popular style of ballroom dance with a dress code that reflects its roots in the 1920s-1940s jazz era. Although many studios don’t require historically accurate costumes for their private dance lessons, many dancers want to dress the part. You can wear clothes that are comfortable to move — and sweat — in, such as T-shirts and loose skirts or khakis. Or for an appropriately vintage look, women often wear shirt dresses with a knee-length A-line or circle skirt that allows for plenty of swishy movement. Men usually opt for a button-down shirt and trousers. The most important part of a swing dance outfit is the shoes. Both men and women can opt for simple sneakers, like Keds, or leather dance shoes, such as saddle shoes. Until you have several dance lessons under your belt, stay away from heels.

How much do dance lessons cost?

Adults who want to learn to dance, whether to prepare for a wedding or to meet new people, often enjoy taking dance lessons from an experienced dance instructor. Instructors may offer classes one-on-one to individual students or couples, or to small groups. The national average cost for a dance instructor ranges from $30 to $50. Some studios offer a discounted introductory lessons or group lessons, as well as package deals that are more affordable than paying for individual lessons. Some dance instructors will travel to the student’s home, which usually costs more, while others hold small-group sessions in their studios. If you choose a small-group class, expect to pay less than for individual dance lessons.
