When to start depends on how elaborate a wedding dance you want. Some couples start 3-6-12 months in advance It can take most couples several months of dance lessons and somewhere in the range of 12 to 24 private dance lessons to learn a choreographed routine. On rare occasions, couples want to do a complicated mash-up and they are newcomers to dance, in which case, they may need to start at least 6 months ahead of time and may require 2 dance lessons a week to accomplish their goal. Other couples opt for a partially choreographed routine, which doesn’t require the commitment of time in that case anywhere between 6-12 private lessons will suffice Starting earlier relieves some of the stress of learning a new dance including the choreography, entrance, exit and timing. Plan to take your wedding dance lessons early enough to enjoy the time you spend together working on your special first dance at your wedding
