Re: Are any of you ladies ...

I'm planning to, but haven't decided on a place yet. I've heard that John of Ballroom Dance LI (a vendor here) is good.

Re: Are any of you ladies ...

I don't want to....I have never heard a bride and groom say that it was fun, went well, or they were happier doing it. However, FH really wants to so we will see what happens.

Re: Are any of you ladies ...

We are not going to take classes. We are just gonna go with the flow .

Re: Are any of you ladies ...

I would like to but FH keeps fighting me. He HATES dancing, but I love it, so I keep telling him he needs to take lessons for our wedding.

Well here is your first...

we did and we loved it. We used John from Ballroom Dance. Our dance came out great and we just saw it on our video this weekend and I have to say I think we looked good.

Re: Are any of you ladies ...

I want to!!! FH says he will do it with me. Now we just need to find somewhere!

Re: Are any of you ladies ...

I wanted to but we never got around to it. We'll just wing it and make fools of ourselves I used to be on my college dance team, but unless I'm banging out pirouettes and toe-touches I'm going to look like just as bad a dancer as FH

Re: Are any of you ladies ...

Re: Are any of you ladies ...

We're just going to wing it

Re: Are any of you ladies ...

We wanted to, but it just didn't happen I guess we will be doing the 'high school shuffle'

Re: Are any of you ladies ...

We're not. It's just not my style, but I don't hate the idea.

MrsC2010 Posted: Apr 17, 2009 05:57 PM

Re: Are any of you ladies ...

we aren't...we are going to just be in the moment.

my friend and her now husband took dance lessons before their wedding and it looked terrible. You could see them counting steps and just didn't seem romantic at all. So if you do take lessons...try to make it look natural when u are dancing

Nina1010 Posted: Apr 17, 2009 08:35 PM

Re: Are any of you ladies ...

We're planning to as well... but about 2 months before. Usually 4-6 lessons...1 a week or something like that. I want it to be fresh in our heads...lol

Re: Are any of you ladies ...

No! actually I have never seen FH dance so I really want to see him in raw form

Well here is your first...

here's your second...we choreographed a fun non traditional first dance...took lessons at Arthur Murray (Southampton)...had fun doing our first dance...and at every lesson.
