If you bring the people, they will provide the dance floor, music equipment and a dance teacher.

“We customize toward what their goals are, so we set the schedule to what is convenient for them,” said Deborah Joy, Manager of The Wedding Dance Specialists. “We create the length of the lesson according to how long they want the lesson to be and how much material they want to learn.” In addition, Joy says that the bridal party, at specific locations, can have a small reception to open gifts prior to or after the lesson.
