How Much Do Wedding Dance Lessons Cost?

The sound of the wedding bells is nearing, and you’re now busy preparing for your wedding venue, gifts, and the list of VIPs you are going to invite. Yet, when the fun begins after the wedding, it is usually expected that you will dance in front of your family, friends and co-workers you felt obliged to invite. But wait, what are you going to dance to? Your drunk moves? We hope not.

Thus, as part of the reception, it can be deemed essential to attend dance lessons to waltz your way around your guests. You may prepare for this months before your wedding and even set a budget so you can master your feet on the dance floor.

How much do wedding dance lessons cost?

The average cost of wedding dance lessons in Australia is $50 to $150 per hour. However, pricing depends on the dance class and instructors you will be enrolling in. Others also offer packages with discounts, as the lesson cannot be completed in just a day. 

Moreover, wedding dance lessons should also be taken months prior to your wedding day. While some may want to have lessons 3x a week, you can still have the lessons at least 1x per week. However, it is very important to give ample time to this, so you can still master your dancing before the wedding. 

Still, it is of consideration to have the dance lessons 5 months before your wedding, so you can still have some buffer time when emergencies arise. 

The Importance of an Instructor’s Advice

Instructors aren’t just giving you steps and letting you practice them. They are also able to advise you what song you should pick depending on your wedding theme or taste, so the dance would complement the atmosphere you want to engage your guests in.

The lessons usually start with a background on the song you will be dancing to so you can have an overview of the tune. Instructors will then provide you with the basics of the dance, and the steps and the timing after. They are responsible for making your dance perfectly; in tune and with grace.
