| - After about 6 months of lessons, I think it is time I reviewed ol' Fred Astaire! The dance studio of course, not the dancer and actor. That guy would get 5 stars too though.
My (then) fiancé and I started with the beginner package, which is 2-private lessons, a group lesson and a practice party. Our hope was to learn some basic dance moves so we wouldn't make fools of ourselves on the dance floor at our own wedding and possibly choreograph a number for our first dance. We had the songs picked out and an idea, we just needed an expert to help us put it together and learn how to move our feet.
We almost immediately upgraded our beginner package to the Social Foundation package, which teaches the basics of 4 different social dances. We started learning rumba and cha-cha (necessary for our wedding routine), AZ two-step, and swing. The wedding dance turned out *perfect* and we had such a great time learning it.
Fast forward 4 months and we're still dancing! We're now in the middle of our bronze program, learning 8 different ballroom styles. We go about once a week, and I always look forward to our lesson. There are so many benefits to learning how to dance, not the least of which is having a timeless hobby with my new husband.
A few special shout-outs to Josh for cutting our wedding music together, Jon for getting us started, Nance for being a super-cool 2nd teacher and most of all, Sean for being such a great instructor and making each lesson so much fun.
