How well do you dance at the moment?
How easy is dancing to your chosen music?
How elaborate do you wish your dance to be?
Do you want a set routine or freeform building blocks? (more info)
How quickly do you learn?
These factors are carefully considered at your initial interview and discussion. Your dance professional is specifically trained to find out your needs, goals and likely learning speed.
That said, most couples would need 4 to 8 hours of tuition to prepare a dance which looks elegant and one which they feel confident doing on the day.
The lessons should be scheduled no more than one week apart, and you need to practice at least as many hours as you have tuition. The overall plan should allow the final lesson to be mainly revision and polishing. The final lesson should be no more than a week prior to the big day.
This approach ensures the best balance of learning something worth presenting, and gaining enough confidence in your new skills to present it well. Remember that you must allow practice time to develop the skills and build your confidence.
