Hi Clint
We just wanted to let you know that our first dance went really well on Saturday. All our family and friends were very surprised and absolutely loved it! I’ve sent through a photo so you can check us out on the dance floor.
Thanks again for all your help!
Megan and Matt
It was only 2 weeks before their wedding, but Megan and Matt decided that they wanted a highlight for the wedding. And that was going to be their wedding dance. They booked their lessons, they practiced and they pulled off a great highlight for their wedding that blew their friends and family away.
Destine Dance can help you do the same.
With locations in Brighton and Truganina we can teach you in the STUIDO OR YOUR OWN HOME so we can teach ALL OVER MELBOURNE.

Your wedding dance and why Destine Dance is best for you
Your wedding dance is a visual and dynamic display of your marriage. It shows the both of you working together and it is also an expression of the two of you as individuals and as a couple. When people speak of weddings and watch wedding videos, it is often the wedding dance that is most notice. We often can't recall what was said in speeches and we kind of remember the food and venue, but we always recall the combination of music, clothing and movement that are all parts of the wedding dance. It is the dance that most often the major highlight of the wedding.
Because of its significance to your wedding, regardless of the type of wedding dance you want, from a casual obligatory whirl on the dance floor to a full extravaganza, you want to do it confidently and well. And that's what Destine Dance will help you with.
We are best for your wedding dance because we create a routine for you and your song. We teach a greater variety of dances than other Melbourne wedding dance schools (Street Latin to Swing to Rock and Roll to Latin American to Ballroom) so we are better able to find a style that is just right. Also, unlike other schools offering wedding dance lessons in Melbourne, we don't just teach you a cookie cutter type routine. Imagine how you would feel seeing another couple do the routine you did at their wedding! We work with you to incorporate the figures and style that you like. The dance will be unique and it will be yours. By all means shop around other options for wedding lessons in Melbourne, but always ask if your dance will be unique and represent you.

Learning your wedding dance
No matter how far away your wedding is, the process is basically the same. The only thing that changes is specifics of each step:
- Come up with some songs you would like to dance to
- Think about what you would like the wedding dance to be like and decide what you will be wearing when dancing
- Work with your teacher to choose some styles and routines that could work
- Decide which song and style you prefer
- Start working on the routine with the teacher, who will help you with the choreography, movement, remembering the routine, timing and all the other things you are worrying about
- Practice at home between classes with the video recording of what you learned in the most recent class
- Keep getting better until your wedding day when you will dance it
Quick facts about wedding dances
How long should it be?
Most dance routines in dance schools are between one and two minutes. For a wedding dance you do not need to draw it out and we would recommend that doing less and doing it well is better. You can shorten songs with modern software and if you have a band or a DJ, then they can help with matching the song to your needs as well. Also, if you do want to dance longer, then you will likely find you will need more lessons that what's in our standard wedding package.
How many lessons do we need?
This is of course a difficult question to answer, everyone is different, but 5 lessons (ours are private) is a good starting point. What is more important than the lessons is practice between lessons. Focus more on time before the wedding, than on the number of lesson before the wedding.
What do we need before the first class?
Know what you will be wearing on the day.
Know what your song will be.
Know how much space you will have on the day.
Know what the floor surface will be like on the day.
What can we do to make it better?
As mentioned above, practice between lessons is one of the best things you can do. If you can practice a bit together each night and then a bit again separately and then go over it in your mind while going to work or before bed, then all those little practice sessions will add up to good amount of practice. And that means a better wedding dance.
What should we do if we make a mistake when dancing?
That can happen to the best of us; and the best of us know that we keep going and have a plan in place for when such things do happen. We will help you deal with that in your lessons - you will make many mistakes then so you will get plenty of practice in.
What if one of us doesn't have good timing?
we do two things. We help you find signals in the music that are obvious to you so that you can link to those. We finish the song with a highlight that you can tell the DJ or the band about so that they can fade out at the right time. We will either get you staying in time or create the illusion of it.
What can we do about the pressure of dancing in front of others?
While doing your wedding dance, you are also welcome to come to one of our events. It is easy to have you dance in front of people there so that you get the chance to perform under that pressure. That way the wedding will be less confronting. If you happen to have a combined bachelor and bachelorette party, then you can perform there as well. There are usually less people at these events than the wedding so you get the chance to practice with people watching and it is still a surprise to the majority of your wedding guests.
How much will it cost?
The standard course of 5 private lessons and a practice at a social nights will be $450. However, if you feel you need more lessons for any reason, then that can be organised. Fill out the form above or contact us to talk more about how we can help you have the best wedding dance possible.
Will ours be unique?
YES!!! Unlike other studios offering wedding dance lessons in Melbourne, who often teach the same routine to all couples, we choreograph a wedding dance that suits you and your song. This is done in class with you so that a dance the is just yours is created. Beware of any studio offer wedding dance lessons in Melbourne who shows you choreography first - it means they simply teach the same thing (not matter the song) to each couple that comes through the door.
What if I want an AMAZING wedding dance?
If you want to go above and beyond, then you can keep doing lessons after the first 5. You can also ask your instructor to work on more choreography between lessons to come with even more amazing figures. If you think you do want an amazing wedding dance, then start 6 months earlier - maybe even with some general dance lessons before you do any specific wedding dance lesson. Contact us to talk more about this.
