How much do wedding dance lessons cost?

Our Wedding Dance Starter Package offers four private lessons at about $125 per lesson, then $99 per additional lesson.

What dance style should I learn for our wedding dance?

Most couples start dancing with basic steps from foxtrot or waltz for classic wedding choreography. Popular ballroom dancing styles include cha cha, salsa, and Viennese waltz for more energy. West Coast Swing offers great lead/follow improv opportunities. Your instructor will recommend the perfect style based on your song and comfort level.

How many lessons do we need for our wedding dance?

It depends on your goals, experience, and schedule. Many couples take 5-10 private lessons to feel confident and comfortable. Working with an instructor helps you learn faster and with less stress.

When should we start wedding dance lessons?

Starting 2–3 months before your wedding gives you time to learn comfortable and reduce last-minute stress. Even a few weeks can work with consistent practice.

Can I dance in my wedding dress?

Absolutely! Most wedding dresses can be dance-friendly with a few simple adjustments. If your dress has a long train, having it bustled is key for safe movement. When you meet with your dance instructor, bring details about your dress style so they can choreograph moves that work perfectly with your gown’s silhouette and fabric.

Can I change instructors after our first lesson?

Absolutely. We want you to feel completely comfortable. If you’d prefer to work with a different instructor, just let us know. We’ll happily make the switch.

Can we choose our own music?

Yes, your first dance should feel personal, and your song choice is a big part of that. If you’re undecided, our team can help you find something that fits your vibe and goals for the dance.

What should we wear for our wedding dance lessons?

Wear clothing that is comfortable and easy to move in. If you already have your wedding shoes or something similar, bring them along. It helps us tailor the experience to your actual movement in that footwear.

Do I need dance experience to take wedding dance lessons?

Wedding dance lessons do not require any prior dance experience. Most couples who work with us are beginners! We specialize in making you feel at ease and confident from the very first step.

What happens if we need to reschedule?

We can accommodate rescheduling with at least 24-hour notice. We’ll do our best to find a new time slot that works for you.

Real Reviews from Clients

Ruslan is an incredible teacher. He helped turn my partner and I with little to no dance ability into fantastic dancers for our wedding. He has an incredible gift for choreography and breaking things down for those new to dance. On top of that, he has a wonderful, charming demeanor and is a pleasure to work with. The studio is beautiful and clean. 10/10!

We can’t recommend Danznik enough! We worked with Alexei on a phenomenal wedding dance. He choreographed a dance to highlight our strengths and abilities. He worked through a process that allowed us to first get comfortable mastering the steps and then strung them together into a dance. We can’t wait to dance it at our wedding!

We found Danznik through a Google search just one month before our wedding, after deciding fairly last-minute that we wanted some dance skills and a short choreography… and we were scheduled for our first private lesson within 24 hours! Anton was fun, engaging, and skilled at tailoring his instruction to two people with totally different levels of experience (one of us had none 🙃). We had a perfect ~2 minute routine and a lot more ballroom knowledge after just four sessions, and all our guests LOVED our first dance!! Anton is an amazing teacher and we definitely recommend Danznik to any couple looking for a perfect wedding dance!

Danznik Studios in Midtown! Our friends got married earlier this year and DAAAAZZLED us with their first dance. Initially we were just gonna box step and twirl, then call it a day for our first dance but that sold us to get lessons. 1.5 months later, our instructor Ruslan has us twirling around, doing 3 different lifts, and fun steps. We. Look. Incredible. Can't wait to shock our family with our sudden metamorphosis into ballroom dancers. Ruslan is also so friendly, super easygoing (will tailor the dance if you want it more chill or more fabulous), we truly look forward to our sessions. Worth the money!

We didn't have any prior dancing experience and wanted to do more than just sway for our first dance at our wedding. Danznik matched us with our instructor Anton who was awesome! He's an extremely talented dancer and a kind and patient teacher who taught us the basics and put together a nice choreographed number for our song. We had a lot of fun practicing, and he even provided feedback on the practice videos we sent him. He made us feel at ease to be on the center stage and most importantly have fun! The studio is also beautiful. Highly recommend Danznik and Anton!

We had an amazing time getting dance lessons from Danznik studios to prepare us for our wedding. Our instructor Anton was amazing! He had been picked for us by the staff to be the best match for our first dance song, and he was completely involved and enthusiastic as he taught us dance moves catered to our song and venue. Practicing these joyous the dance moves at home was a daily relief from other wedding planning stress. The first dance was a hit, with several people telling us afterward how surprised they were by our dance. The studio is beautiful and spacious and there was never a time we didn't have a private room and the staff made us feel so welcomed. We could not recommend Anton and Danznik studios more for wedding dance planning!!

My husband and I took classes with Stephanie before our wedding. We weren't looking for anything fancy; we just wanted to learn how to dance well together. Stephanie knocked it out of the park - we had the best time and know we know how to dance together forever :)

We took lessons at Danznik for our May 2022 wedding with Nikolai and it was an amazing experience! From the start, the whole Danznik team were so friendly and welcoming. Neither my husband nor I had any dancing experience, but we knew we wanted a dance to impress our family and friends at our wedding. Nikolai started with the basics for us - learning the basic box and steps. This was super helpful, and we left the first lesson surprised at how much we learned. Through our other 5 lessons, Nikolai choreographed the perfect dance for us. Simple and easy to remember, but with a handful of WOW moments with dips and ending with a lift! We had so much fun learning our dance with Nikolai. My husband didn’t know if he wanted to take lessons at the start, but it ended up being his favorite part of our wedding! We are so glad we went with Danznik and Nikolai to learn our first dance & highly recommend to all couples getting married!
